Meet Minamoto. An 18 year old college student with the mental capacity of a horny 12 year old. Just to be clear, I'm going to try and cover both sides of the spectrum in my review (giving some ups and downs). When starting off reading the story I was intrigued by how it managed to introduce the main character in a clean and organized manner. It has its moment of comedy as well as backstory that hooks the reader right off the bat. From the introduction I was interested in how the genophobic teenager (Minamoto) would develop as the story went on. And let me

tell you, boy was I disappointed! (Recommend reading synopsis first)
Story (7/10)
Even for an ecchi/harem manga the story is intriguing at first sight and overall does a good job executing. I can appreciate how there is always a story line to follow, and from what I read, not much filler. Each of the supporting characters comes with their own unique set of interests, such as: different personalities, interesting backstory, as well as being fucked in the butt by a perverted nymphomaniac. The story has one reoccurring flaw that I see when reading it that I can't look past... It isn't romantic. Let me elaborate. In every damn scene I read, the girl is talking giving us an overview on her past life and why she is the way she is. There little to no interaction between side-chick/main character. He just stands there thinking about how much he wants to erupt inside her until she finally shuts up and he asks to grab her tits.
Art (8/10)
The art is done really well and it deserves major credit. Whoever decided to illustrate this horny 12 year old's wet dream has major spine.
Character (3/10)
If you can come away with one thing from this review I hope it will be my overall hatred towards the main protagonist. I'll start with the MC and then move to the supporting characters. The main protagonist has many likable traits, such as : (Ill list them out for you)
*Being an overall pervert (And not in a funny way like Issei Hyoudou) ~High School DxD reference
*Being a sexual predator and avid nymphomaniac
*Being a borderline rapist
*Having less self-restraint than a pedophile
*Being dumb as a pine cone
*And an overall weirdo
In all seriousness, the main character (for me) lacked the two things that people seek in a protagonist: being likable and relatable. He has done many great things that I've seen, such as:
*Spanking and wanking it to a childhood bully having sex with a college professor
*Sexually assaulting his cousin
*Having so little self restraint that he gropes his cousin after their first date inside a movie theater
*Lacking the simplest concepts on what romance is
*Going straight for the goods of a freshman he met 3 weeks prior
*Practically begging a bitch with a daddy fetish to fuck his limp dangler after being told he was just a toy (or pet, though i don't know who would think of a pet that way but who knows)
The MC of the story has 0 character development and stays a sex hungry predator who wants to bang 14 girls and call it "romance." He is so fucking stupid that he actually believes that someone cannot date without doing the BANGA (word choice xD) right after they met, even if he understands that the girl does not want to date him because she thinks that he is just after her body. He just can't put two and two together. It is pathetic. The most ironic part of it all are that his relationships last about less than a month and end usually after he gets his clock cleaned, so I don't know if the writer meant to put in some "hidden message" but I doubt it since he is writing about a nymphomaniac who has to be set up on dates by his weird pedo aunt (aunt is still pretty nice though :)).
Supporting characters: If you were to read this manga the supporting characters are developed pretty well, but every relationship with them normally ends in disappointment because they end up doing it doggy style before kissing (slight exaggeration xD). The development of the supporting characters is pretty good, but you end up becoming disinterested once Mr. Predator (main character) gets his teenage hormones in a jumble and decides to go scuba diving in that thang. <-?
Enjoyment (4/10)
I feel weird saying this but the amount of hate I had for the main protagonist led me to not enjoy this manga. It had its moments, but the amount of pure bullshit indoctrinated into this story is enough to make me dislike it. It is obvious the author did not have anything above a high school diploma (crude humor) so it is ironic that he is writing about a college student :P.
Overall (5/10)
Overall I rate it a 5/10 because the main protag kept me from enjoying this manga, because when is ignorant and dumb enough to turn down a girlfriend (which he wined he didn't have) just because he wouldn't have "normal sex" with him. His transparency and simplicity made the idea that this manga is a romance null and void. So unless you like to see perverted (and not in a funny way, like Issei, hehe) sex fiend rape his cousin (could be classified as rape) and fuck anything that walks (literally) then don't read this manga. If you are logic strung like me you won't enjoy it.

Rosario to Vampire Capu2
(Anime)
add
Rosario + Vampire was the first anime show I have watched other than Pokemon 10 years ago. As far as the story line is concerned, I found the concept unique and it was an enjoyable series to watch. The story line is taken lightly and not as serious as Death Note or Code Geass, but overall it has its perks. The synopsis of Rosario + Vampire is that Tsukune Aono has failed to get into High School but due to a mix-up is sent off to a school for monsters. He there meets a girl named Moka Akashiya and they quickly become friends. Despite his

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
(Anime)

You know how after a season of an anime ends and the writers put out an OVA that completely strays away from the story line to do something different and not as serious? Well, this is basically the entire show. The whole series is like 1 big OVA. Each episode a new situation occurs but most of the time it is just the characters sitting inside a club room saying how bored they are. The comedy is enjoyable as well as the relationships between characters but if you are looking for an anime with plot, DO NOT watch this. Character development is minimal and stays

High School DxD
(Anime)

Review on English Dub: The High School DxD Franchise is a combination of comedy, harem, ecchi, and romance. DxD is by far one of the highest-rated harem television shows out there, and here is why. Compared to other harem/ecchi shows, High School DxD knows how to deliver a solid plot line as well as execute it. For an ecchi, DxD shows better character development than other popular shows.
Starting on the protagonist, (by far my favorite) Issei Hyoudou has a lot he brings to the table. If you are a fan of crude humor and sexual jokes, you are going to love this. The main ... |
