The author is the main problem of this comic book.
Reading the comic you notice - or at least to me it seemed so - that the author has filled every page of the comic with sex scenes and references to sex because it is fixed,
The whole comic book seems to be a self-justification for one's childhood ideas about society and sex. Pitiful.
At a certain point it becomes unnerving to read those childhood dialogues on sex and society, it is hoped only that the author decides not to talk about sex - even if only for a chapter-.
a work that wants to be mature, but that

Instead, the manga only gets worse the more you read it.

The manga gets super shitty about halfway through. Basically, up until that point there are no real arcs, just one off adventures that may be a couple of chapters long. But the first real arc is pretty good, but then it gets super weird. Oe ends up pretending to be a schoolgirl for a long ass time and then moves to a new place which involves a girl constantly pissing on people and goes into a whole spiral about human behavior and how every human in society is shit.

Golden Boy has a really solid beginning, with girl-of-the-week ecchi comedy approach. Unfortunetly, after literaly 9 chapters it embraces arc structure and becomes hentai expolring "harder" fetishes (NTR, BDSM, mind control) with our main protagonist rarely proactive. Setting becomes convoluted mess with typical porn excuses to show sex scenes, most character development is waisted and it all ends without any conclusion, as an axed series. Manga goes on tracks back again around volume 7, but pulls no puches and turns promising and inportant character into naive psycho. It is also full of social commentary. Surfice level, and inconsistent social commentary, that presents two possibilities of
