Ai Kora review

Honestly I feel a bit like I wasted my time. It's not really bad or anything but it's not all that great either. The story is a cliche among cliches. Boy gets to live in a girl's dorm. Wow. Haven't seen that before. I expected better from the mangaka.

The characters are weak. They don't evolve. They are stereotypes and have stayed the exact same up to the last volume I read (the fifth). I would be lying to say I could distinguish all the random scenarios in this manga from the billion other similar ones like Love Hina and so on. Heck the characters even look the same as in all other typical harem manga. For Christ sakes, not yet another bipolar girl with pigtails that likes the protagonist but doesn't realize it. And yet again, she is apparently on track to be the protagonist's main love interest. Sigh. And oh, what do we have here, the glasses girl with big tits who is yearning for attention but doesn't get what she deserves. And the sexy teacher. Yawn.

Okay, I'll be fair. It's not all garbage. There are some original parts. The protagonist has a specific fetish for "parts" of females. He doesn't believe in aesthetic gestalt, he appreciates only the specific parts of a girl. And in no terrible act of coincidence, the girls he meets at the dormitory each have only one part he wants. One girl has great tits, another has great eyes, and so on. A decent premise, actually. But the mangaka (a famous one too) seems to waste all the potential by jumping on the cliche train for everything else.

One thing that is a bit unusual, and the reason I didn't bring the character rating down to a 5, is that the protagonist, at least, has some actual balls in this manga versus all the other typical harem manga. He's not a weakling and is very straightforward about what he wants. He doesn't get all emo and whatever about random stuff. I'm not sure this is enough to salvage the overall rating to more than a 6 however.

This all said, it's not actually *bad* per se. Just somewhat trite and repetitive. If you haven't read very much harem manga it'll be a decent read. Even if you have, you might still like it, if only because ecchi manga is basically the Japanese equivalent of pulp fiction. Easy to read, quick to understand, and steadily consumed by all males with a pulse no matter how ludicrous the scenarios get. Enjoy, guys.
