Fukigen Cinderella is the story of a man named ‘Haruhiko Kanna’. Haruhiko suffers from a disease, you see. It’s a disease that makes women want to kick his ass and he’s been suffering from it for a very long time.

Our anti-hero, Haruhiko, appears to have a lot of trouble with the fairer sex. When he was a kid, he had been bullied by the girls in his school. He also discovered that his mom was disappointed he had been born a boy instead of a girl. He discovered this from his female babysitter, who apparently also abuses him.

In all seriousness, Haruhiko’s life is filled with such women and it led him to having a rather repulsive personality wherein he is immediately nasty and rude to every woman. He also has a tendency to sexually assault them. The story doesn’t say it, but this personality is likely how he got cursed by the three witches he met. Presumably, he’s been turned into a woman so he can experience the other side and come to understand them better.

Unfortunately, Fukigen Cinderella is an ecchi manga. One of the rare ones that have a half decent story. But as is typical in such cases, the ecchi ends up being the downfall of this manga.

The need to show off T&A as much as possible ends up interfering with the story and, unfortunately, the author seems to have problems integrating ecchi scenes well. Most scenes come off as bizarre and unreasonable making the MC look idiotic.

Still, I think the manga is actually pretty good for what it is. The story is mildly complex and presented in a good way. The author really does well to input interesting plot points that could grow into something more.

Well, perhaps that should be phrased as ‘could’ have grew into something more as the series ended after a very short (and seemingly rushed) run. It is a bit of an advantage, though, as it makes the story a very quick read.

Ultimately, would I recommend it? On a cautious note, yes. If you can’t stand ecchi manga, don’t bother with this, but if you find you can tolerate it, I would recommend a try.
