Have you ever wondered about the proccess of making a Ecchi Manga specially. If you're a fan of Bakuman or have a guilty pleasure for Kiss x Sis and like GOOD ecchi slice of life comedy than this is something for you.

The Premise is basically what you're going to get out of this manga but it's the way the Author executes on it and that makes it a fun and enjoyable to read and that's all it needed to be, Like Why the Hell are you Here Teacher.

[B] ... Synopsis
A screwball Ecchi Romantic Comedy about a Young Romcom Mangaka serializing in Jump working alongside his 2 sisters as Assistants who are madly in love him.
[IMG=W3R]
Despite the premise, I really like these types of stories of young people trying to make it in the Industry of Jump and this manga seems to capture that really well through the Characters trying to survive the constant deadlines. But it decides to go about it in a fun Ecchi way with the Dialougue banter between the Sisters and the INTENDED Sexual Humor between the Characters and their dynamics. The Manga is mainly Episodic with 2 chap arcs from time to time and there's always a sense of continuity which I find great in a comedy

[B] Comedy and Ecchi
[IMG=LDY]
Most of the Comedy derives from the MC doing various weird Ecchi shit with his Sisters who are willing to assist him in any shape of form like poses, feeling them up, drawing their figures, or use them as some form of inspiration and new ideas and replicate that into his Manga so he soar through the Rankings. There are a multitude of unique reactions to their actions that don't fall into sterotypical surprise reactions but a little bit ridiculously nature with good Dialougue Exchanges.

The Manga also comedically explores the Characters independently in their daily lives and fleshes them out through absurd situations that may fall into sterotypical Situational and/or Misunderstanding humor but always do it in a very comedically engaging way. I really liked the extent the characters are willing to go in a very absurd and sexy manner so they keep the Manga in Serialization which really reflects a Mangaka's Life in a Nonsensical Manner.

It later on adds in Side Characters and focus in on their Quirks and personalities and how it's shown in their everyday lifes or around they interact with other characters. One of my personal favorite is the Editor who's basically a "Woman of Culture" and mega pervert with a decent taste of fetishes but tries do her best at her Job and helping the MC and she's always a good time when on Screen since she can be very absurd as well.

I also really like the the MC's rival ecchi loli Mangaka who's the But of his Loli Jokes and kinda acts as his Superior when it comes to Manga Sales but can be there to guide him with his Ecchi Manga by offering him advice
[IMG=3BM]
I can Appreciate the kind of Meta it has with the MC trying to make his trashy Rom make it in Jump just as the Author is Doing in Jump+ with this manga when talks about how Authors put thier Fetishes into his Works like Oh! Great with Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear.

[IMG=5BL]
The Ecchi is very top tier with this Manga because it's really good to catering to different fetishes like the Tanned Imouto, Big Breasted Onee San, Big Breasted Office Lady, 13 yr old Big Breasted Loli( Okay your going to see a decent number of breasts in a consumable manner), Short no tit Loli Sensei, Bondage, Finger licking, Swimsuits and Outfits, Masturbation, Character Angles, Gender Bender, Panty Shots, Nudity and well drawn Nipples there's something for every Ecchi fan and the Author always deliver in a satisfying ARTISTIC Manner with way they way he panels and his Character Designs.
[IMG=LUD]
I swear the Character Art is FUCKING GOOD because they are so polished and detailed and he draw their reactions and is a very important driving force for Good Ecchi. Also, The Ecchi are done with Intend from Both Characters involved and refuses to be shy about it and prefer to be open about it. There's also a Decent amount of Sexual Humor that come from the personalities of the Characters
[IMG=WV3]

[B] Characters
The Characters are pretty typical with your MC aiming to be a Good Manga Artist to support his Sisters after dropping out of School, the Tanned Imouto( My Favorite) who loves her Big Bro and willingly to do anything to help him and jealous of big breasts , The Big Breasted Onee san that wants to spoil the MC and looks after him Wholesomely, and the Side Characters I mentioned previously, there's also a rookie Female Mangaka Duo sisters. They have good interactions and it's fun seeing them together and working.[IMG=0BD]

[B] Overall
It's a Solidly Fun Manga for people that like Ecchi and the Creativity of the Sexual humor it comes with and people that kind of a Dengerate but choose not to care as much and take it as they come. But this is Clearly not For Everyone since it can be Incestuous and Jailbaitly and Jokes may get a Little repetitive but the Manga is still fun.

7/10 Manga

As comedy ecchi harem titles go, this is an absolute side-splitting masterpiece! The premise is pretty classic with our romcom mangaka enduring a hilarity of antics with his assistants and wider female contacts. However, the story does progress with an overlay of mini-arcs focusing on developing areas of the mangaka's abilities - be that being better at drawing lips, oppai, panties, or some shockingly funny topics (I won't spoil anything here).

The title is not overly censored and the lewdness fits the tone really well. But where this series REALLY outdoes itself is in it's execution. From the very witty play on words to the hilarious ... genre-parodying such as the "lolli" or "hentai protagonist" to the insistence on "tapping the phone", it's almost impossible to read a chapter with laughing out loud - advisory to not read in public!

The art is top-notch, the panels clean and the translation work particularly on the first 20 chapters, genuinely some of the best you'll ever read in manga (particularly in respect the play-on-words stuff). Unless you hate the genre, this is a hugely underrated gem and probably the most funny thing you can read after Kaguya-sama: Love is War. Don't miss it!

A great manga that can be as good as to love ru darkness, unlike darkness, where we know that it is not finished and we expect continuation, we have here a complete manga that for some reason says at the end that it is... a prologue. 10 volumes - just a prologue.

And here I am, writing this, thinking what to say about it. 2 years since it is finished, I don't really see on MAL any information about author's continuation. He literally said that a lot of girls love him or at least like him, yet mc... don't like anyone. Just like that. It ... pretty much ruins the feeling of completion, since mc didn't choose anyone. Hell, at the end we see a lot of questions that mc asks about girls, their favourite things to do, why they decided to like manga and other things... at the last volume near the end. Great timing.

Anyway I still like it, it has superb ecchi scenes that will give you blue balls, unexpectedly great scenarios, and good art. Do not expect a good ending or continuation.
