The story consists of 2 decent length volumes about a short, timid boy (Tomonori Tsuda) who ends up in a perverted relationship with a tall amazon (Hikaru Ohno). It basically follows their experiences as they grow attached to one another. Even though this is a Rom/Com, the comedy doesn’t play much of a role but at least the romance is done fairly well. However the increasingly perverted nature of the manga does get in the way of the romance. But the plus side is that the story and the developments are pretty good. Nonetheless the story in volume 2 is pretty disjointed as some chapters either have no relevance at all, to the actual story development or just don’t seem to flow well, until the latter half.
The main characters in this manga are fairly appealing in their own way but have one thing in common; they are all “extreme perverts”. Apart from the main 2, the remaining characters do get their own moments but sometimes it doesn’t seem like enough.
For a h-manga I must say that the artwork is the only thing that’s perfect. The characters are drawn so well that you’ll notice each of their defining features and the background environments are fairly detailed as well. With this being a h-manga, of course the sex scenes count towards this score, with the panels being drawn well and arranged in an easy to read manner is such a huge bonus.
Overall Take on Me did feel like your average h-manga with each chapter building up to a sex scene however because this follows a single story there’s a good deal of character development involved. There’s quite a lot of content for the perverted reader to enjoy, like a large number of fetishes and a few whacky moments. Nevertheless this can only satisfy a certain readers taste but this is definitely a must read for those who are into this type of thing.
