For many years, Succubi have been a source of many an erotic fantasy. Often pictured as beautiful women, they take a mans essence as a source of sustenance. But the glorious land of Japan was not happy with leaving this as it was. They needed something else... something more...

And this new development was to make the succubus a 10-year-old girl.

The keen eyed among you will have noticed that this manga, with several underage characters, is listed with an ecchi tag. As one might expect, these two facts lead to more than one uncomfortable moment.

However, the story, characters and humour, if you can look past the ... uncomfortable air that this manga produces, are first-rate. There is many a cute moment, and a constant supply of humourous events.

Story - as said above, the story revolves around a 10-year-old succubus, rotte, and her first harem candidate, the canonically large cannoned Naoya. Having only, at this point, read 50 of the 70 chapters, I can say that it is an enjoyable story which progresses well and allows for the development of involved characters, relationships and plotlines.

Art - I am no art critic, and can get by with stick figures if the story is good enough, but this art is consistently cute.

Characters - The cast of characters are mostly memorable, and rarely boring or annoying. A new character is introduced every few chapters, either as a new main or a recurring side character. All of the characters seem to have some kind of development, but not a great deal. This is basically a slice-of-life after all.

Enjoyment - other than when the 10-year-old characters meet the ecchi tag, this is a cute and quite heartwarming manga, with a few twists from time-to-time to keep it interesting. There aren't many sad moments, if that's what you're in to, but there is a lot of humour.

Overall - This manga may have a questionable premise, but it is still worth the read, and i would recommend it to anyone who can see past the discomforting themes.


I have read this and am likely on a watch list with some government agency.

You would probably think that after over 400 chapters of this manga, I would have had my fill of dirty jokes, but I am still waiting with baited breath for the next installment to drop from the authors God-tier talent. While primarily a gag manga, this series somehow manages to keep the reader interested with a small cast of characters and a simple scenario, while making them laugh with every chapter. If you have watched and enjoyed the anime adaptation, you will love this. As I read it, I could hear the voice actors in my head.

Story (8) - This series falls into slice of ... life, and thus there is no real plot to talk about. The four main characters are high-school students and members of the student council who are constantly getting into misunderstandings and situations which offer ample opportunity for sex-related jokes. This lack of heavy plot can be refreshing and allows the sex-jokes to flow without pesky story developments getting in the way.

Art (8) - For me, art style is rarely the most important The art style may seem simple at first, but as you continue, it becomes obvious that the artist is able to display a full range of emotions for each character without a large amount of details. The artist also regularly changes the art style to a much less detailed, chibi-like style when the characters are making their dirty jokes.

Character (9) - The characters, where to start... Firstly, the student council girls all appear to be normal, intelligent, high-achievers, but when the protagonist gets dragged into the student council, the facade slips a little, and their more unconventional aspects to show through. Outside of the student council, a host of lovable and funny characters fills the space between boke moments.

The president, Shino Amakusa, is a dignified leader, highly reliable and loved by all in the school, commanding the respect of students and teachers alike. However, when she lets down her guard a little, her more perverted side shows through.
The Vice President and protagonist (though all four of the student council members seem equally important), Takatoshi Tsuda, a student who chose the school which was closest to home. After having the responsibility of being vice-president forced upon him, he quickly finds his place... as the resident tsukkomi to the others' antics. He is also incredibly dense, often totally misreading the mood of a conversation with the girls.
The secretary, Aria Shichijou, a beautiful, buxom, rich-girl. Airheaded and almost always carrying some type of sex-toy. Sometimes, she wears underwear, but not always... easily the most openly perverted of the cast.
The treasurer, Suzu Hagimura, the final council member and vertically challenged. God help those who call this genius small or compare her to a child. Fluent in english at the start of the series, she is quickly becoming fluent in tsukkomi too, offering much needed backup to Tsuda.

Enjoyment (10) - After reading 400 chapters of any other manga, I would probably have become sick of it. That is not the case with Seitokai Yakuindomo. After following the characters through the three or four summers of their second year, I am still in love with this series. Once you pick up the first volume, you will not be able to hold back, as you read chapter after chapter, unable to to stop.

Overall (9) - If I was asked to recommend a series to my family, it wouldn't be this, as the awkwardness and embarrassment would be too much. If a friend asked though, I would recommend this in a heartbeat. If you want to spend a couple of days laughing at potty humour, or are looking for a relatively plot-less filler while you wait for the next chapter of you favourite series to be released, i cannot think of anything more suitable.

This is my first review, so if you see anything wrong, let me know. I am sure I'll get better with experience and I hope this has helped you decide to read this wonderful series.

Please remember that this is my opinion, and you may not share it. Let us live and let live, okay?
