Synopsis

Takane Takamine is great at everything she does, and her magnetic personality makes her the envy of everyone. She gets good grades, excels at sports, and even manages to become student council president during her first year of high school. But Takamine has a secret—she possesses an ability called "Eternal Virgin Road," allowing her to redo past actions and achieve a different result.

While this might seem like a decent skill to have, Takamine must pay a price to activate it: she has to strip off a piece of her lingerie. After getting an imperfect score on a test, Takamine begins to remove her underwear during class and is spotted by her average and weak-willed classmate Koushi Shirota, who is bewildered by the sight. However, the very next instant, things reset and Takamine's test is now perfect.

When Shirota decides to confront Takamine about her previous test score, she reveals her ability to him and blackmails him into becoming her "closet," making him carry around extra lingerie and put them on her. Her goal is to be able to use Eternal Virgin Road as much as possible in order to stay at the top of the school hierarchy. Left with little choice in the matter, Shirota accepts, starting an oddly intimate type of relationship with the most popular girl at school.

CR got the uncensored version. Huzzah.

Anyways, I've been reading the manga and it is exactly what you'd expect. Just some perverted eechi stuff. Don't expect an oscar winning story here.

Episode 1

It didn't take long for me to absolutely despise Takane. And Shirota isn't much better as he should have just stayed a mob character and just go about his school life rather than going to see Takamine in the student council office. It's when Takamine frames Shirota for being a sex offender that really had me over the edge as she set everything up for Shirota to take the fall, and even though Shirota didn't do anything, the compromised position she forced him into makes it so that nobody would believe him. Thus, he ends up becoming her closet as she liked. I didn't have much expectation for this show coming in, and it's indeed stuff intended for the ones into ecchi stuff. I'll end up taking this show off when all is said and done as there just isn't much substance to this show.

@HOOfan_1 When you consider that this is a Kadokawa show, then it all makes sense since Sony is the plurality owner of the Kadokawa.

Now for the show/manga itself, I remember when I read the manga for the first time I said, "Damn, Takamine f**king sucks for that blackmail nonsense" but then I reminded myself, this shit is just fiction so no need to take this too seriously. I genuinely don't think it's bad overall if you can get over the first chapter but yes the author should've come up with another way for the MC to become her closet.

@paulchaested I love it from the start, just what I have always hoped for. Perverted eechi stuff for the masses. I have not read the manga but I am willing to guess that at the end she gives up her powers by having wild sex with him as she is now in love with him.

WHY IS THIS GOOD??? WHERE"S THE SHINING LIGHT TO COVER THE PINK RANGER??? WHY IS THE VA QUALITY GOOD??? WHY AM I ENJOYING IT INSTEAD OF GETTING A BONER??? WHY IS THIS SO FREAKIN GOOOOOOOD???!!! (My legit reactions during the entire run of the episode xD)

Holy smokes! I did not for the life of me expect a good comedy out of this. It reminds me of Shimoneta-- ecchi, horny, but total unadulterated comedy.

The FMC is just as crazy mad and delusional as that of Shimoneta's FMC; I love it! When she screamed to pull that blackmail on the MMC, that's when I knew we got something great on our hands (the protag had a much greater thing on his hand at the time but...). The FMC being a 'Mad Queen', and the MMC being forced to be a slave "closet" to protect his life from being ruined, and the time-reversal ability all makes for an interesting, bizarre situational comedy. I really hope this could be a solid Anime from start to finish. ("heh heh heh...finish." -- Beavis and Butthead probably.)

Let me preface this by saying this is my favorite manga and have been reading it from the beginning. I will say I was quite surprised it was turned into an anime, one because the art is so good no anime has the budget to do it justice and second yeah the plot is centered around a girl taking off her underwear so there is a TON of nudity (with much of it full frontal) so...yeah.
Anyway...
Surprisingly faithfull, though there wasn't any full frontal nudity in the begining so I guess we'll see when we get to those scenes. Overall the voices were pretty good, obviously the art isn't going to be as good as the manga but it was pretty inconsistent (she is pretty tall but her height kept fluctuating the entire episode and in one scene she seemed to be half his height o_0) and the direction was nothing special. The framing of shots (where they had to fill out the surroundings for a manga panel to fit a widescreen) all looked kind of...odd. Oh well maybe I'm being too nitpicky.

Also to address some concerns about Takamine herself, she is NOT a bitch. Her motives will be revealed soon enough just be patient. Don't always judge a book by it's cover, her power makes her fearless but that's about it.

Also this is NOT the real degenerate stuff if you want that the author, Yuichi Hiiragi has another character almost identical to Takamine (see if you can spot the differences) who is full on hentai. Google Kendo Shoujo if you are so inclined (you were warned about the content).

Looking forward to more, because even less than perfect Takamine is better than no Takamine.

Just meh for me. When things first got undone I thought this might be interesting, but was a bit let down after that. At least there's an uncensored version out so I won't be annoyed with censoring.

I'm also not crazy about the art style for the characters. I like the eyes, but the rest of the character's faces have a bit of a sloppy artwork look to them that bugs me.

And this is the second show thread already this season--along with The Beginning After The End--where I've seen people who've read the source material start talking about what the characters are really like or how something is different then another thing and can we please not do that without using the spoiler tag? Thank you.

No, it's my opinion (I'm sure you will find people who do think she is a bitch). Just telling people don't judge her just by the first episode.

Episode 2

Takamine is going to abuse her power like crazy as she uses it to redo the reading in lit class to have it flow with the wind. And after pulling that stunt off unbeknownst to everybody but Shirota, Shirota is tasked with putting on her panties after she dropped her eraser, which was done on purpose, and he couldn't do it right. Not wanting to see Takamine like this that he goes up when Takamine's name is called. At least Takamine was less of a bitch this time around, but even so she shouldn't be going commando over something this insignificant.

Man, that episode had almost nothing in it. I think half of it was Shirota being flustered and the other half was Takamine reading the same poem twice. All padded out to 23 minutes or whatever.

I'm all for fanservice, but this gets one more episode to be something besides that.

Oh, who am I kidding. I'll probably watch it anyway.

@HOOfan_1

It didn't matter, the whole point was her testing him to see what he would do.

Anyway, this, again, was pretty disappointing the direction of this show is awful. The whole comic is framed so the reader gets the same POV of Shirota (yet they somehow got it right in the preview pic in the first post <smh>), she is talking to and teasing the audience. This has turned the audience into one of the other classmates watching from a distance and it is ruining the whole thing. Gawd, I knew they would give this to an amateur and screw it up. Every little thing Takamine does in the manga is sexy and seductive and in this it's just lame. -_- Given what happens in the manga the next couple episodes are going to be even worse. :( Also that little scene at the end was an anime original and gives away too much too soon IMO <_<

Episodes 1 and 2: Still eating out of the trash can

Crazy girl's narcissism works, but I'm not sure about the rest. Granted this isn't a show where one cares about consistency; we know what this show is for. But it is everyone else's favorite pastime to perform in-world rationalizations and analyses, so:

When crazy girl tries to frame Takamine, and everyone's there holding him back, and she asks him if he'll agree to be her closet—that's the point Takamine should say, "Look, this girl is nuts! She's undressing herself right there." Of course, it's established that he is fairly slow, so you could say he wouldn't think of this, but really, crazy girl is too flippant and uncareful. Light Yagami she is not. And if Takamine really is trapped in her schemes, I'd have wanted her schemes to be more airtight. Otherwise it's too obvious it's fake; the police showing up almost immediately didn't help.

And it seems less like she's reversing time than that she's choosing in her head what option she wants: We didn't relive them taking that test the first episode; her score just magically changed to 100. It's not obvious why taking off her underwear only reverses what she wants reversed.

Where Please Put Them On, Takamine-San is best is the tension: What is this cruel, insane bitch going to do, plus is Takamine going to be able to put her underwear on her unnoticed—and there's the threat of Takamine's entire life being ruined.

And can you forgive such an insane person? There is no excusing how she framed him—indeed, this is particularly despicable, and I wonder that the show is so flippant about it. If it's just going to ignore how awful what she did is, and let Takamine be too stupid to realize, then that's a pretty big strike against it.

Is it too much to ask for trash to be a little more solid? I guess part of the reason I watch it is to observe the interpretive dynamic: how the audience excuse themselves and the show, and how the show excuses itself. These are interesting constructs, and they exist even if the show is sloppy. But sometimes these stupid things come up with something interesting; I want them to be better at that.

@MenchiK1 Lol—well that's about how serious this thing was, that names aren't memorable enough to stick to people. Let's not deny that when we watch things offhand, we don't entirely remember names a few days later.

I'm not particularly sorry to be taking apart another of your pet properties. That Takamine is too flippant and uncareful does in fact impact how people read the show—if they haven't already decided to be blind—and whining about it doesn't make it false.

You might instead notice that I clearly want this thing to be good, and not just react to me unthinkingly.

There was one more thing I wanted to say yesterday, but that I forgot about: If we're taking seriously this girl's willingness to expose herself, I guess it can be argued the reason she doesn't go all the way with her bra still on and then just reverse it by removing her bra afterwards is that she's still too shy to have sex. But that seems incongruous to her willingness to destroy guy's life. That's already an escalation to at least the level of consequences of having sex; why not just sleep with guys and then reverse it? She definitely seems crazy enough to do such a thing, and she's presented as smart enough to figure out that she can. To be fair we haven't seen enough to know that she hasn't done so already, or that she doesn't end up going there. Although maybe sleeping with someone breaks the spell, and she loses her powers like in Maria the Virgin Witch. But how would she know?

Notice I'm leaving open the possibility for the show to resolve this issue, but it is definitely an issue that exists, and the show shouldn't ignore it. Maybe it won't.

She only exposes herself to one person (Shirota), no one else remembers.

The power is called "Eternal Virgin Road", obviously implying just that.

It's pretty easy to figure out why she acts and does what she does, for someone of normal intelligence that is.

@MenchiK1 Why not quote me, or otherwise reply more respectfully in ways I notice, if I'm not bothering you? Why call me names or otherwise disparage me? It's fairly obvious I'm doing a good amount of thinking, and you lying about it doesn't obscure that.

As to mistaking Takamine's name, notice that the premise of the show is that dude is girl's closet, that she makes him put her underwear on her—indeed, as people (maybe you, I don't remember) say above, the manga being drawn from the perspective of dude putting underwear on girl is something the show needs to do better at—so that it would make sense that the name of the person putting the underwear on the girl would be the name of the person in the title being asked to put the underwear on. Indeed, this makes the title somewhat strange.

Anyway, it is entirely fair to think girl is willing to expose herself, and indeed enjoys doing so. Even if everyone forgets, she still experiences exposing herself to people. She could always, you know, not—unless there's some time limit, which it seems like she denies given that she claims to still be able to reverse saving dude from prison (which could be a lie), and even if there were she could always move somewhere she's not standing up in full view of everyone.

Naturally nothing you've said really makes a dent in any of this. Like I said, I want this show to do well, and it is a compliment to it that I watch it and that it gives me thoughts. I'm not watching any of the dozen isekai-adjacent properties streaming this season, but I am watching this.

@MenchiK1 But ah! You give me an idea:

MenchiK1 said:

Takamine does indeed give a name for her power. But how much hermeneutic weight should we give the name? (Hermeneutics being the study of interpretation, particularly of artistic works.) In other words, how much should we pay attention to the name she gave her power?

I remember what I thought when I got to the part of the first episode when she gave her power's name: I thought it made sense that someone thus megalomaniacal would give a flattering, silly name for her ability; I was thinking more of what she was like as a person, and not some sort of secret clue the name was supposed to give me.

Absolutely everything in a work is part of its meaning. And there is more than one way of going about assigning interpretive importance to each part of a work. You seem to put a lot of meaning into offhand facts ("Eternal Virgin Road"), whereas I care less about these. Indeed, apparently I figured out one of the rules of her power (she loses it if she has sex) without knowing the name the show gives it. That seems to say my hermeneutic is powerful enough to figure out what's going on without having everything spelled out for me.

It is a literary fact (empirical, objective, whatever you like) that there is more than one way to interpret a work of art. It seems you want to deny this.

I would think the only way she would know that her power is tied to her virginity--and she's not just calling it that out of ego--is if she knows someone else who had the ability and they told her how it works.

@zkeleton I'm expecting an exposition dump forthcoming—although the way Takamine says she discovered her power makes it sound like she wouldn't have known its properties at first. So something else had to have happened to give her that information.

Meanwhile I kind of like the idea of juxtaposing Takamine and Light; she's clearly dumber than he is, but she's similarly egomaniacal, and her power is strong enough maybe a fight between them would be interesting. And Light didn't have any women at his level; again, I like the comparison.

Got that everyone, it made a stupid mistake but I'm the idiot. And just to remind you of its intelligence there are more walls of text, because remember the way to prove you're intelligence on the internet is to write lots of words, especially big words that you feel are so big you have to explain them to the ignoramuses reading the thread (just so you know what it thinks of all of you). 9_9

Her power is one of those Japanese kanji wordplay things, IIRC it's literally something like "Untouched Unknowing Maiden" but the furigana translates to "Etrenal Road" or something and it looks like the anime translation sort of combined them to "Eternal Virgin Road" obviously since the mangaka was involved in this he gave some input into the official translation.
She is meant to seem to Shirota like she has an ego at least so you never know, I don't think the anime showed it but the sign over the student council room (remember she is student council president) in the manga reads something like "The Untouchable God". IMO her power's name is more of a description of how others view her because of her power. She is so amazing in everything, beauty, brains, athletics, personality that they see her as literally an untouchable goddess and so even though everyone likes her (its only Shirota she treats like crap) being perfect has set her apart from everyone else. The manga and anime both mention this but it goes by way too quick to even remember they mentioned it. So she's literally untouchable and untouched. Her power put her on an untouchable path if that makes sense.
Honestly there's no real reason to dig deeper into her power, the manga never reveals any more about why it exists or how it works, or how she knows how it works. It just is, accept it. It's just an excuse for the author to put these two in situations where she gets naked so he can draw a sexy naked girl. That's all the deeper this book is, the fact that there is a very thin plot between him and her is just a bonus for some humor and an excuse to bring in other girls whom he can draw naked too.
It is that shallow. Thus my disappointment, how hard is it to get shallow ecchi right?
As I said in my first post the author has another comic for subscribers to his site with an identical looking girl that most of the time he doesn't even write dialogue for he just draws her having sex (so if you ever see any really explicit art of Takamine it's not her it's the other girl) so he isn't really know for his writing.

Geez what was with the delay on ep 3? And they had his stupid face covering her up, did Crunchyroll revert to a censored version? (edit OK reading through the other forum thread I guess they did, disappointing) Also they skipped part of a chapter about swimming and did the bike part instead which is waay ahead in ch 8. Weird. Anyway art still bad, being animated isn't really adding anything to this. Oh well.

And what was up with that jizz scene? Especially her licking o_0 That was anime only, and it was quite the weird addition since the author saves that stuff for his hentai version of Takamine , Kendo girl.

Well Crunchyroll is owned by Sony.
You know, the company that forced the removal of Intimacy Mode from Senran Kagura Burst: ReNewal on PS4.
And they bought Funimation, and had a cry about Interspecies Reviewers and canceled the streaming on Funimation despite having bought the license.

I'm more surprised that Crunchyroll got this instead of Sentai than them trying it out uncensored and then censored it later.
A shame that no one got the Robot one.

There are actually three versions of the show that was announced before it aired, the censored version (full of shirota cover ups), the less censored version and the Eternal Virgin Road fully uncensored version.

I think CR licensed the less censored version from the beginning and the ep 1 & 2 are essentially identical to the fully uncensored version up until episode 3. I think this less censored version is basically the fully uncensored version but very specific scenes will get the episode 3 treatment. However... the weird thing is Takamine's ass cheeks and crotch were covered up in ep 3 but the tits were not censored. Ep 1 didn't cover up the ass and crotch and the new ep 4 didn't censor anything as well. I think the studio and the licensors just did a lazy half assed inconsistent job with the censorship in ep 3 for the less censored version.

Also that jizz scene wasn't in the manga which I highly suspect that is the reason why the studio made a total three versions of this show. If that scene is reason why this whole fiasco is happening in the first place, why did they even bother adding in it? I thought it was pointless.

Yeah it was weird. The ads for the Japanese Blu-ray are also advertising nudes of Takamine so "hot" they couldn't be in the manga.
Not sure what to make of pushing this x-rated version of her. Like I have mentioned before Yuichi Hiiragi has until now kept Takamine R rated and if you want X rated stuff he created an almost identical character (plus others girls) on his private site.
Would be weird to take a non hentai character and make her hentai when shows like Tsundere elf start hentai and tone it down. Wonder if the sponsers are pushing him to make more for their investment? :/
Kinda disappointing as Takamine (so far) is really except with Shirota a pretty innocent character. I thought Japanese fans liked to keep their waifu virginal so they can marry them (in their fantasies), maybe tastes are changing? :(

Ep 4, well no delay this week as not much nudity or anything "else". 9_9 Anyway art and direction still horrible, that swimming scene oof. Then the tights scene, jeez has none of these animators seen Miru tights? That was pretty disappointing, for a scene about wearing something so tight all the "details" were visible, to not draw even the outline of anything...don't know what to say.

Looks like another delay due to the prudes at Sony.

I wonder how long before they just dump it all together like Interspecies Reviewers.

Honestly, you're better off just reading the manga instead. This adaptation kinda sucks anyways. I didn't bother to check out episode 5 in the high seas so I have no idea what specific part in it that warrants censorship.

According to the regular discussion of the ep, we have apparrently reached the part of the manga with full frontal nudity. (though in the manga it's covered barely so not sure why it isn't in the anime.)

Well the uncensored version is out and don't get what the delay was, it was just like the manga where everything was just barely covered. Weird.

I stand corrected, it was a very quick pan, need to pause it to actually see but they actually drew "it"

Really surprising because even in the manga she is a "Barbie doll". This anime is really trying to push the envelope.

Wow the anime is really, reaaally pushing the boundaries. The manga almost seems tame compared to it.

Well (little less than) a week late but Crunchyroll has, as expected, put up the censored version with Shirota's stupid floating head over her crotch in all 3 scenes, nipples still are OK I guess.

Ha looks like all the pics of Takamine's vag got deleted in the main forum.

Well no vagina (though honestly in that one scene there should have been some visible) so back to completely uncensored and undelayed on Crunchyroll.
Now compare it to last week's Ninja and Killer apron cooking scene LOL The inconsistent artwork is getting frustrating and really killing my enjoyment of this but I will say at least they made an effort to show Takamine has quite a perky ass to match her tits, I always find it disappointing when other big-boobed anime girls have just as flat an ass as the flat chested girls. Though I love the visuals I always found this manga chapter rather hilarious that it took that much from her before he finally got a boner. I know she constantly cuts him down and makes him feel worthless but how he still isn't walking around with a near constant erection with how often he sees her naked, up close, and this time even has repeated physical contact. I find her powers more believable than his ability to remain flaccid. LOL Though the whole point was to show Takamine can get embarrassed and accidentally take things too far in her teasing, revealing despite her comfort with being naked she isn't experienced with anything beyond that.

Now the real question who wore it better?
Takamine?

or Satoko?
