This is a real love it or hate it series. The plot centres on a collage circle club called Euphoria, and it you know your hentai, the name is probably an easter egg and also prophetic in relation to that show. But this club is just a front for a hook-up meet and greet, which in turn is a front for the exploitation of young girls. So it is R18+ and has an awful lot of sexual violence, but as the story goes on, you lose any sympathy for anyone involved, especially the girls who turn up, get raped and then come back again the ... next day!?!? The core of the series is the pornography. It is largely vanilla, with couples performing basic foreplay and vaginal sex, but there is lots of it. People wave the NTR tag about, but it is more the case of anyone and everyone just banging away. The closest thing to NTR is the relationship between the MC and the FMC, who is willing to offer put her body on the line to get information about her missing sister. But don't feel bad for the MC, since he is having the time of his life with lots of other girls. Once you lose all sense of empathy for any of the characters, I have to admit the pressurised deflowering of innocent girls is is very erotic, but only because you know they will be back the next night to go again. So with it being devoid of reality, I view that aspect as roleplay, since no one is getting hurt and everyone is lining back up to do it again. If there were in-story consequences to the violence I would have a different opinion altogether. That being said, it is absolute trash, there is no denying that, but if you want some titillation and you are not shy about fantasy sexual violence, you may enjoy it in passing

This manga is classified as Erotica, but I don’t think that label fits at all. It’s censored hentai, nothing else. The whole story follows typical hentai logic, with no real plot or character development, just nonstop scenes focused on rape. Almost every male character is a rapist, and every female character who gets assaulted actually enjoys it. There are some female rapists too, but their numbers don’t come close to the many male ones.

The plot feels like it’s just there to string the scenes together, but it adds nothing meaningful or interesting. It’s all surface-level, and the story never goes beyond the obvious, making the ... whole thing feel shallow and pointless. Honestly, I don’t get why anyone would read this when there’s plenty of uncensored, better hentai out there that doesn’t rely on such a stupid setup.

This manga is just lazy, using shock value to pass off as a story. If you want real depth, interesting characters, or even good adult content, you’re better off skipping this one. There’s nothing here but a bunch of pointless scenes that just keep pushing the worst clichés of the genre without giving anything worth your time.
