Synopsis

A fun and sexy manga by Rui Takato of Mikarun X fame, this is the story of Misora Haebaru, an 18-year-old karate expert from Okinawa who went to Tokyo to enter the entertainment industry in hopes of supporting her family. She gets tricked into being a gravure idol who wears lewd clothing and is forced eventually to enter the AV world, but she won't go down without a fight! Another great ecchi manga by Rui Takato with over 150 pages of fanservice, ero scenes, and cool fighting.

Preliminary (70/? eps)

A very good subversive series that explores the life of an gyaru idol who also happens to be a god-gifted karate master. The series has some less-than-tasteful moments, so I wouldn't recommend it to the feint of heart, it deals with some pretty fucked up shit too, like sexual assault, mental illness, family trauma, etc.

One of the things I noticed while reading this series was the influence that the author drew from the Baki series, specifically in the artstyle (many panels are inspired by Baki, specifically in fights), and that leads into the best thing about this series, despite how the MC is often placed ...

Preliminary (70/? eps)

If you have dealt with at least 3-4 so-called "pantsu fighting" manga and the words "near-hentai" you associate with certain trends in ecchi manga, then you do not need to explain what Hagure Idol is. This work is a fairly well-made old-fashioned example of such, you know, the female lead with the soul of a shonen's teenn boy and the hentai heroine's breast fights with grotesque dirty men and lustful lesbians, incidentally falling into scenes that can make Yabuki blush. Two things make this work unique: Misora Haebara, this title protagonist, and unusually weird attempts to declare feminist messages, not only being terribly sexist ... and homophobic, but even directly bragging about the "problematic" nature of work in its original synopsis. In simple terms, it is as if JoJo from the 2nd or 3rd part tried to criticize "toxic masculinity", while also starting to promote itself as "brutal violence for real men".

Speaking of the first unique element, Misora, it's hard for me to resist praise. Although her image of gyaru makes no sense, her naivety and libido with each volume goes further beyond the bounds of mental retardation, she is one of the hottest and coolest female action characters that I have ever seen. Every time you see a hentai or a Baki-inspired fighting scene with her participation, it always captures your eyes and you will love every detail. Even when her logic or behavior will force you to put your hand to your face, it will still be difficult for you to think something bad about her. I can say with a clear conscience that Misora is the most important find of this work or even the entire Rui-sensei career in general.

Regarding sexism and feminism ... oh ... Dude, this is a very weird thing. First "Wait, what?" begins already in the second volume, when the lesbian rape of the main character is portrayed as a joke after the entire first volume was literally devoted to how Misora defended her chaste from men trying to rape her. This attitude will continue even when Misora realizes own bisexuality (that the manga is ambiguously trying to connect with her libido) and directly calls the lesbian and straight experience equal, which, perhaps, for the first time probably made me talk about open hypocrisy in a manga.

From this point on, the author begins to troll you almost openly, at the same time making rather traditional feminist comments against sexual violence or homophobia, and using lesbian sexual abuse as a source of hot fanservice, almost openly implying that harassment or unacceptable behavior by other women is not serious even if the victim herself is queer woman. For example, one chapter plays the deliberate deception of your partner for laugh, including the direct use of her inexperience to manipulate her, the other tries to justify the lesbian cheating by the fact that you are far from your girlfriend and therefore very horny and this is only a small part of this. Should I tell you that when men try to do this, it is perceived as a big deal and Misora always quickly suppresses any attempts to do this?

The only thing that somehow mitigates the negative impression of the two paragraphs I wrote above is the general grotesque of everything that happens. Most of the problematic moments are almost always as ridiculous and darkly funny as toxic, all the relationships depicted are so silly completely sexual and has zero of any romantic interaction or affection that in one chapter they even tell you directly, that physical attraction is a sign of romance and so on. Not to mention that most lewd scenes are so random and weird that it would be funny even in the hentai douji format.

Ultimately, I would definitely not recommend this manga to politically active folks, and especially to people who were victims of some kind of abuse. This work literally enjoys its sexist insult. On the other hand, if you are a big fan of So bad so its good content, this kind of thing simply amuses you with its absurdity and weirdness, or you just don't care, then this can be a great action and / or smut material.

7 from 10.

Ok, this manga is horrible. This review will have some spoiler from the second/third volume, but honestly you are better knowing those things before reading it. The first volume we are introduceded to the main premisse of the manga. Strong girl fighting to not get fucked and is literally what the manga is about. Which is whatever is a weird and bad premisse but the writing in general is pretty bad in this manga. During the second volume is that when shit really gets worse. Trigger warning: Rape and probably child abuse. This volume already starts weird when one of the mc's friends that is ...
