[Atmosphere/Mood: Light]
Story: 8
The story started off as a dutch wife living with a man who resisted her in every attempt to do ecchi stuff, but later a lot of new characters and events turn up, and the story is literally brimming with comedy. Wrestling moves are seen every now and then, and some wrestling notes were noted in quite a lot of chapters after volume (?).
The story can be described as a "living with dutch wives" story plot, so expect to see lots of ecchi, slice-of-life moments with quirks thrown in. From chapter 4x (vol.6), there is a America-Japan rivalry parody in the form of dutch wives starting, and this just makes the series even funnier!
However, I found some features lacking, like Dr. Akiba, who appears and then disappears every few chapters, and always loses the Yuria Type dutch wives he creates. A little strange here..
Art:6
Art is considerably weak, given its stellar comedy grades. There were quite a lot of panels where I didn't get what they were doing, and at some critical points, not sure if "the deed was done". Expressions were often drawn with little details, and emotions not very clear with just reference to art.
O yea, and there are a lot of similarities between the art in quite a few characters in this series, especially in the faces of the female characters.
Character:9
There are quite a few good guys in this series, which is refreshing. The reactions they have towards the dutch wives' actions differ quite a lot from each other, which is interesting as well.
Personality-wise, I dun dislike any of the main characters, but some of the main characters react quite strangely. For example, Maria, who keeps getting info that her bf is probably cheating, seems super tolerant, although her personality doesn't seem to be like that.
From volume 6 onwards, Lucy's appearance starts a Japan-American rivalry that spice things up further, and seems to show clearly some culture gaps regarding ecchi stuff (although some of Lucy's acts seem to liberal, even for USA).
The characters were stable in their personalities thruout the series and character development could be seen for some of them, but isn't a very prominent feature.
Enjoyment:10
Puns. Hilarious misunderstandings. The ability to turn non-ecchi stuff into very ecchi topics. Exaggerated expressions. Some action comedy (like Shunsuke's wrestling). Some yellow jokes (Yuria and Lucy).
I'm absolutely awed at the brilliance of the comedy featured in this series. "The mangaka is a genius!"
