I'll make this very simple.. if you like ecchi comedy harem hijinks then it genuinely doesn't get much better than this manga. The balance of story, ecchi, harem, cute art and frequent laugh-out-loud comedy is just totally on-point. Don't be fooled by the torture element as it really serves as a great comedy-foil (without being over-used) to play off the character's antics.

Also don't be fooled by any overly pretentious reviews as this very much sits in the sweet spot between comedy, action, romance & drama that never takes itself too seriously but equally never becomes too episodic. There's plenty of cheeky mischief perfectly balanced with ... engaging story arcs and naughty 'accidents' that really make for an addictive read that's just hard to put down.

If you're familiar with Seitokai Yakuindomo and it's excellent comedy-timing then this delivers equally but with a much more consistent story, satisfying ending and character's you'll grow to love. Everyone has their penchant (and Ship) but personally I really rate the character art-work (Prez ftw!) and well-blaanced pacing where the story never felt too slow or fast.

As to the harem, well I won't spoil things too much but again if you enjoy harem shenanigans for what they are then this also delivers with sufficient 'progress' without overly spoiling the dynamic; which is some feat as a majority of harem-enjoyers will know.. precious few authors are able to successfully pull off that trick.

It's a real shame this isn't available in a licensed English version as it'd be a great addition to the collection. That said with a surprising number of original manga titles getting anime adaptations these days, just maybe we'll be blessed (or cursed in the event of a bad studio!) with this also being picked up. Fingers crossed!

The basic premise of this manga wasn't all that unique. After all, your average everyday Japanese highschooler being forced to become a member of a weird club with 5 hot chicks isn't exactly new.

The characters are also all average with generic personalities (Rich Girl, Big titty Senpai, Tanned Foreign Return Girl, Man Hating Girl, A useless Sensei who's the club advisor), and while the concept of a 'torture club' is new, it's basically serves as justification for showing the girls in erotic positions, and toy with the MC.

The art was nothing to write home about. Basically while I somehow made it through the ... ending, I have nothing to say about this manga that stands out. The ending was typical for harem trash from this era, and while I won't spoil it explicitly you can easily guess what happens.

So yeah only read this manga if you're REALLY into the school life/SOL/Harem genre ( I am), and have nothing better to do. Cause there are soo many better harem manga than this.

I started out liking this manga the characters some of them were fun and the main guy was well done, and likeable and several of the girls very nice. One the dark skin short hair was more and more obnoxious and the dark hair leader of the club increasingly abusive.

In the end I have dome to think the author is trolling the readers, making them accept trash more and more. Sad for it might have been really fun with a nice flavor of Ecchi instead it is just a nasty slide down hill.

The story at times was light hearted and fun, and there was even ... some nice development with the MC and some of the girls even the ones who started antagonistic, but over time none of them were allowed to develop any real feelings for the MC, while he more and more was just a target for abuse which is really not much fun in a story chapter after chapter.

The ecchi serves as a lure and bait. In the end even it becomes tiresome. i would say it is a sad use of the author's talents.
