Barabanba, one of Go Nagai's lesser known erotic manga. I have no idea what I just read (and by read, I mean I just used the actual pics to "understand" the story, and let me tell you: This manga is WILD. From nude alien girls to chubby MC getting unconsensual CBT to even girls getting their tiddies slashed, this manga has it all.
Our main protagonist seems to be a total HORNDOG whose trying his *hardest* to get a crumb of coochie (and fails) but this isn't your typical shounen manga. No sirree, in this story, our protagonist gets play NONSTOP after the first rejections.
...
So much as a matter of fact, that he has a witch shrink him down to hamster size to give her some out of this world cunnilingus. That's right, our boy eats the girl out from her literal insides. If that's not enough to arouse your curiosity, what if I told you this manga is one of the first instances of catgirls being in contemporary manga (or at least as I am aware of)? Granted it's in the second volume but its there! There's also dinosaurs and old men turning into monsters too.
The art is very good, especially for mid 80s, the babes are absolutely gorgeous and the censorship is minimum I daresay. I personally didn't get the urge to burp the worm if ya catch my drift but I can definitely see how this would be considered erotic back in the day. There's tons of panels where it is clearly humorous, but I mean, I don't speak Japanese homie, so I can't tell you if its actually funny. :)
Overall, I would say that Barabanba is a very fun read to get into and if you're into older works like me, I think you would find yourself very interested in seeing how the art of manga was back in the '80s. Of course, since its erotica, it may not sit well for those of us who aren't perverts which is totally fine. Just sayin' though, the first 15 pages were wild as hell and it hooked me with just how bizarre it was.
Thank you for reading, and have a great rest of your evening/day.
