Well, this is it. This is my first review. I sure hope this sorta stuff doesn't become a habit for me. Anyway, I might add that this particular review was written in Portuguese first and translated by me to english, so please endure if there's any grammar mistakes that will make your spine hurt

Let's get at it, then: First of all, I would like to emphasize that this work is a 2004 webmanga based on a thread to a Japanese forum similar to 4chan (yes, that pit of toxicity and degeneration of people with weak hearts and minds), however this factor does not impact the quality of the work at hand. Initially, I would also like to point out that the character names are based on that thread, that is, don't be scared by names like: '' Molester man '', '' Kansai girl '' or '' Loli Jugs ''.
Anyway, after this little contextualization for the general understanding of the opera, let's move on. The story follows our dear protagonist brilliantly called '' Molester man '' (molester to intimates) an archetype of the Japanese Neet virgin, nothing special at first . However, this guy finds himself in an unpleasant situation when he is mistaken for a Stalker for a girl (called by him Mrs. Understanding) who is distraught when noticing Molester is following her. Then Molester finds himself in this girl's life (after the mess is resolved) and, tipped off by purely sexual and selfish factors, resolves to help her in her tribulation.
Soon, our dear molester finds himself forced into a situation found only in the hottest fantasies of smelly otakus neets, finding himself surrounded by Mrs. Understanting cute friends and the like.
What differentiates ''Chikan Otoko'' from the rubbish found in this genre of ''Cynical neet japonese Romcom'' is the author's personal values in portraying his characters, the sincerity of those said characters and a unique approach to this type of orbit. When I refer to the ''sincerity'' in their characters, I must highlight the tangible reality and personality of these figures (who are based in irl people lol), which are essential to maintain the character of the work's message, which is: ''We'll all make it, man, if you strive and work at it you'll get that pussy '' a very common feeling on forums and sites frequented by losers and incels.
It is concluded that, despite its crude and unoriginal premise and belonging to a trashy subgenre of romcoms, ''Chikan Otoko '' is saved with unique characters, an engaging and personal plot, an appeal like feelings commonly found in many otakus and being based in a real life story. So go read it now you cowardly virgin and stop crying for a girl who never existed and will never love you!
