Unbalance x2

This is a recommendation with a difference: rather than recommending both, I'm recommending UxU to those who read or watched Please Teacher and were left unimpressed by how fake the characters acted. Where as PT is aimed squarely at those who fantasize over big-breasted doormats, UxU is a far more realistic take on romance between a student and his teacher. A must read for those who were left wanting more from PT.

----------

What sells UxU to most people is the lead. Usually in these type of stories the male lead defines pathetic; having no backbone, no strength, and still somehow getting a gang of hotties after him. But UxU's lead differs from the norm. He'll argue with aggression if anyone disagrees with him, and he has a nasty side to him where he totally loses it; even hitting females. He also wants to be a movie director, and one of his early encounters with the teacher he loves involves an argument over him watching what she considers to be porn at school--him questioning whether she's inexperienced and getting slapped to death as a result.

What's so great about him is that, as a reader, I could believe he'd have girls interested in him. Strong, protective, loyal, good looking--he has a lot of qualities. And, of course, because of his horrible temper, he also has a bad boy thing going for him. There's even the typical haremish bit where a slutty character throws herself at the lead to make him blush... and he responded by turning the tables on her; pushing her down, having a feel, and leading her to believe he was going to make a move on her.

As for the teacher the lead lusts after, she's not an alien posing as a teacher; determined to marry the king of all losers--that much is certain. It's hard to believe that a 26/7-year-old hottie could be a virgin who hasn't even had a boyfriend, but her total mistrust of males following her father abandoning her as a child just about explains her past actions, and why she's so resistant to trusting the opposite sex. A big part of the story is her fighting a mental battle between her duties as a teacher and her feelings for the lead, and she's far from an easy lay--not giving into the lead's persistent advances; even going as far as to challenge him to win her over within a short period of time or risk losing her completely.

There's a fair bit of genre confusion that makes the series more interesting, also. It starts out more as a rom-com as the main two get to know each other in comical circumstances - the two ending up believing they had a night of passion whilst drunk - but it's definitely more of a... uhhhh, 'rom-dra'; drama taking over almost completely later on. And, just to fill the Korean comic book violence quota, around halfway through there's a totally random delinquent arc where the lead gets it on with some nasty guys and girls from his school; showing his true, violent colours for the first time. read more

B Reaction addpermalink

It took me by complete surprise just how similar the two are, when I read B Reaction. 

To begin with, both of the hot-headed, aggressive teenage male leads find themselves at war with hot-as-hell teachers in their 20s. Misunderstandings result in the two getting thought of as perverts, and all-out verbal (UxU) and physical (B) warfare results.

As the stories progress, the relationships quickly take romantic turns after the misunderstandings are cleared up and the pairings find themselves in increasingly compromising positions. Hate turns to love, etc etc...

One of the things that links the teachers - 2D attractiveness aside - is how they're both *SOMEHOW* virgins and both *SOMEHOW* never dated. UxU had more background info on this but, whichever way you spin it, in this world it wouldn't be possible for females with those looks to evade men for so long. (Just put logic aside for romanticism, Aion...)

B Reaction has stunning, drool-worthy art, and I'd say its first volume betters UxU with its combination of exciting action and amusing/panty-flashing romance. But then the art became inconsistent and it was canceled... which means it ended without ANY ending. read more

Thinking on which manga had the most in common with this one i got alot of ideas. If you think about it the three main points about this manga are Fighting, Girls bodies, and your tsun type girl endding up with more friends thaan she wanted  when the number of friends she wanted was none. Well as for the fighting Chocolat would fit the bill with street fights and fifferent styles facing off against each other, The girls are alot like the girls in Unbalance x unbalance, and as far as the tsun girl and her unwanted friends i gues we can name  Iketeru Futari as pretty close but if i had to give just one it would be Unbalance x Unbalance if you take out the love intrest and make the lead character a girl and a mix of the teacher and student for a charracter. I know alot of people are going to nix this because UxU is a teacher student romance manga and this one has nothing to do with romance exept some yuriness but as far as the flow of the story and side plots along with equevolent ecchiness i bet if you liked this you would also like UxU read more

Tatoeba Haha ga addpermalink

Two stories evolving around a forbidden love between a much younger male and a much older female. Both manga's show the difficulty of loving someone that the public would deem taboo and not normal. Both narratives have a great stability of Romance and drama which will keep you hooked for every chapter to see what will happen next to the couple you end up cheering for despite the relationship being forbidden.

Both are about a guy who gets into a relationship with their teacher.
I've only read 5 chapters of Natsuzora so far, and like it, but in my opinion Unbalance x2 is better.

Koimoku addpermalink

Well since these two titles have been made by the same mangaka they ahve very similar feel to them. The artwork is expectantly identical with great focus on the busty female characters.

Aside from the obvious similarities as stated earlier it also has less easily recognizable similarities

1. Both deal with an older woman and younger man romance and sexual situation
2. Both have characters that are frequently drawn to look insane and clinically dangerous for some reason
3. Both have a modern feeling (Unbalance X2 has a high school romance setting while Koimoku has a manga publishing company setting)
4. Both female characters have porn star bodies and both male leads sport the same hairstyle and body build read more

Kimi no Iru Machi addpermalink

Both of these series have great artwork and deal with quality romance. Both also contain well developed suspense that will make you want to read through all the chapters in one sitting. UxU has a bit more ecchi, however both series are a bit more focused on the relationships than the fan service. If you liked either of these series I suggest you check out the other!
