Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou

Like what the hell was even this manga.
Kimi wa Midara na Baku no Joou, is great romance story between two young highschool students, that is seems like it’ll be normal in the beginning but ooo boi those it take a change for the better our worst depending on if like Hentai or not.
Jesus you wont be able to put this manga down, once you start reading it.
I would hope any one likes a lewd romance would read this because you’ll love the romance in this manga. Like you if your reading this review right now drop what ever your doing and read this manga.

Listen man, I read the synopsis of this Manga and saw that it was 2 childhood friends who end up falling in love with each other so obviously I was in.. But what in the hell did I get myself into. I got a few chapters in and realized "oh shit, this is fucking smut" LOL. listen, it's essentially hentai. I actually think this is the closest thing to Hentai I've ever read. The plot line is a bit weak, and the art isn't over the moon fantastic but it gets the job done. The ending is wack though. It's pretty abrupt. At the same time, what should I really expect with this kind of Manga?

This is only my second review so please be easy on me :^)


This review might just be short, but it will be containing what I have felt was right in my own judgement.

Yesterday marked the end of Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou, although it is short, it is beautiful and had me fangirling at the end,

Storywise, it is decent, at least for me,

The Art is somewhat mediocre or its decent as well to say.

Character, well for me who doesn't like sweet things like this, the development of the Characters was done good in this short of a series.

Enjoyment, I enjoyed this quite a lot, even if it was just 13 chapters long, and even if updates have pretty long hiatuses, it was a fun, diabetes causing read.

Overall, I loved it, just simple words from an ordinary Reader, Have fun reading it fam.

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

*might move entry/review to my H profile if tag of this manga ever changes, since seriously. This is very questionable "echhi manga"*

✦Story
An extremely sweet and lewd manga regarding childhood friends that really love each other. Anyhow, aside the obvious synopsis. I must say this was superb Manga. The drama, character connection, feelings, love and lewdness aspect. I found story quite intriguing and enjoyable. Must say, considering this is pure vanilla Manga, it still did surprise me at certain chapter that did twist my gut a lot. But aside that I felt that progression and presentation of the story was superb. Plus interesting premise and very hot.

✦Art
Art wasn't anything special. Good enough.

✦Character
Going to mention only main characters as it's short Manga and no point mentioning others. Main guy is quite typical. Caring, with a bit of ego, crush since early age and has usual worries towards the woman he loves. Thus some inner complex yet required strong feelings towards love.

Main girl is a bit of a sketchy character. But I absolutely adore her. She is kind, loves very strongly, has her weirdness and mysteriousness. And on top of that she is quite lewd. Vanilla couple with lewd girl, that is just dream wife. Although on a downside, weren't so fond of her stubbornness and public face (hate over acting personalities.if it means you have to lie a lot and tank other people bollocks.), as well being way to self-punishing (mean her decision because of family) and a bit too strong of a tsundere. But aside that, Love her.

✦Enjoyment & Overall
This girl will go in every possible blof entry of mine on profile. Meaning I damn love her. Aside that, I found this Manga extremely enjoyable. Adorable and lewd. Vanilla love story.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

I only read this manga because it was linked in an image from Tumblr; I had seen two images of this manga on Tumblr, the first I found in chapter 1 and the second in chapter 3, and it looked slightly interesting. But when I actually finished catching up with this manga, I was dissapointed to say the least. The characters and their interactions are dis-interesting, and their interactions mostly consist of sex, and sex, and more sex. In fact, while most chapters do furthers the plot, they spend most of their time retelling the previous chapters and backstory, as well as pushing out sex scenes that are basically the same, every single time, making them incredibly repetitive and dis-interesting; I'm a person interested in sex, especially with a story and a relationship, and this manga did nothing for me. The chapters are very similar and it's nigh impossible to tell them apart; save that chapter 8 had him injure his dick to the point that it bleed whenever he got hard, and chapter nine ended with a cliffhanger, both of which are equally traumatizing. This manga has not being updated in English since March 16th, 2015; and if it ever does, it'll probably have the male lead screwing the female lead's younger sister, with the female lead joining in, with the way this manga goes. If this manga ever gets more EN translations, I might read it again where I left off. But only for completions sake and a good laugh.

As the time goes by, Saitou finally can meet Subaru again in the high school after struggling for a scholarship. Saitou, who is treated badly like ignored or viewed as low-life classmate and seems like forgotten by Subaru, then wishes the obverse God, to make Subaru's room and his connected. It happens, the wish comes true anyhow... If you're expecting something like "Saitou tries to convince her ojou-sama to come back to him" or "Saitou tries to do ecchi stuff to her while declaring his love", you should immediately turn that expectation off. Because it's more gripping than just it! Lewdness? Yes, you will get it, so MANY of it. But, it's not worthless story without any kind of development with so many ecchi-ness. It's not fanservice only.

Frankly speaking, the "granted wish" by observe God that involved both parties, Subaru and Saitou takes cost. As the main contractor, who is actually Subaru that wishes for it firstly, she has to bear the consequence losing her self-control for one hour. It's like far from expected that granted wish such as it would be exchanged with "self-control". But, that it is. There's a reasoning why "self-control" is at stake rather than "lifespan" which is more reasonable to take as a cost. And...this is where it leads us to lewd scenes. Even if it's going to be NSFW (Smut) almost all of the chapter, but every chapter itself has incredible improving plot that sequence is worth to wait. By that, we know more about the characters, its values, their point of views, feelings, and future desire. It's such a hard decision to believe the fact of offering lewd scenes can improve the understanding of characters and its personalities, that's why I recommend you to read it by yourself. As I said before, this manga's ero stuff is not for "just" fanservice. This reason is my most favorite because, as we all know, so many ecchi genre series, moreover smut, have no plus point than it's ecchiness itself for pleasure. This one is DEFINITELY different, from "who does it", "what kind of the things performed", "how does it possible to happen", even its "resolution". The characterization itself is not found in many other series. Focusing on the main characters, Subaru and Saitou are like flawless example of the real consummate love (look for Sternberg's Love theory lol). In the surface, we know they have commitment for themselves and their feelings. Our understanding grows that it's not just commitment to themselves, it evolves to each other. They also have passion when together, their intimacy moreover. It's not because the lewd activities, but it's more about how "close" and "care" they are for each other feelings.

Aside from the aspect of story and characterization that both funny, challenging, intriguing, one of a kind, the illustration is fantastic. Like Haruwaka manga, it has nice character design. It also pays attention into the surrounding of its characters and never make the panels look boring. The illustration can give the vibe of how charming is the character or how complicated their feeling is. It surpasses the physical appearances only.


It's not just entertaining with perverted scenes. It takes the perverted fellow to another level about how funny it is to "not" be pervert in times of need as the story develops and characters are growing more commitment with picturesque illustration and "real feeling" (love). I really can't get enough of this and badly need the continuation of it.

Story (6): The story is about Saito who gets into a top school in order to be reunited with his childhood friend Subaru, the only problem is she is cold as hell towards him. Later we find our Subaru is simply just a perverted tsundere. The story isn't anything particular special, it has supernatural elements with Ura no Kami granting the two the wish to connect their rooms and leading to the loss of Subaru's self control, but the supernatural elements get lost along the way in place of Saito and Subaru's perverted daily routines. The story feels quite fast paced, as it's only 5 chapters, and it's kind of a love conquers all cliche, and the ending was a total cop out. All in all the story is mediocre, but the two characters interactions are perverted and funny.

Art (9): The art to me is the strong point of this manga. Subaru is cute as hell and the backgrounds are nicely detailed, especially during the marriage interview scenes.

Character (7): I love Saito he's just taking the whole situation as it comes, and although Subaru's tsundere personality is slightly annoying at times her perverted side is A+. The characters are kind of vanilla, but they're not bad.

Enjoyment (8): I liked it a lot, it was pervy and that's always an A in my book.

Overall (7): I give this a 7 because I actually enjoyed it. The plot was mildly interesting, the characters were fun to watch interact and it was ecchi. What more could you ask for?

Minor spoilers follow.

"Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou" is a half-decent romp, but fails to live up to its potential as most of its plot points are poorly set up. The work's poor plot setup also hurts the characterization present.

The plot centers around a god who grants our main characters a wish (which allows for their dorm rooms to become conjoined) in return for stealing the female main character's, Subaru's, self-control for one hour every day. This forces her to act on instinct, so for one hour every day, her well-refined facade breaks down and she speaks her true mind, and she unashamedly displays her lust for the male main character, Akira.

The plot doesn't always develop very well. To be more specific, when the plot wants to go from Point A to Point B, the manner in which it bridges the gap is usually a little questionable, even when Point B itself isn't all that bad. For example, there's apparently a rule where if you spend the night in another student's room, you get expelled, which prevents Subaru from spending the night at another girl's room when her room is conjoined with Akira's. There are other times in which you'd expect the manga to naturally end up at Point B from Point A, but the plot thread is dropped or skipped over for some reason. A lot of plot points are also just rushed over in general. I'm aware of the meta reasons as to why that's the case, but that doesn't change the fact that it is the case in the first place.

Regarding the aforementioned god, he steals self-control from humans to use as some form of energy or currency -- sure, whatever. The main issue with this plot point is that it, and the rules surrounding the collection of self-control, don't appear to be entirely consistent. For example, as the plot progresses and Subaru begins to let herself go wild of her own accord more often, the god complains that Subaru has no self-control while in her (and Akira's) room, so there's nothing to collect. As such, he'll start to steal her self-control in public places as well (which he hadn't done before out of consideration). This would, on paper, appear to be an escalation of the plot and stakes, if not for the fact that the god had *already* stolen her self-control in public places (and other places aside from Akira's room, such as in front of family members) in previous chapters. When the reader notices this, they will not be pulled in by the increased stakes, but will instead be pulled out of their suspension of disbelief due to this inconsistency.

Another example would be the mechanics of stealing the self-control. At one point in the plot, the god gives the main characters an hourglass and explains that the sand will fall whenever Subaru's self-control gets collected. So, she loses her self-control for an hour one day, and the sand falls a bit. However, at later points in the manga, the sand falls while she's explicitly *exercising* self-control. It then becomes a plot point to have Subaru find ways to exercise a great amount of self-control to make the sand fall faster. But I thought that the sand would fall as the god was *stealing* her self-control? The entire premise is that her self-control gets stolen and she reverts to her primal instincts. Wouldn't it make more sense if, upon exercising immense self-control, the god would swoop in to steal it and then she'd revert to "acting on instinct" against her newly-attained great self-restraint? Or are there unexplained mechanics to all this, e.g. maybe the act of exercising self-control just allows it to (somehow) build up in a metaphorical container which is represented by the sand in the hourglass falling, and then the god collects it after the fact when she stops exercising restraint? Or maybe the god only takes some of the self-control while she's exercising it and that's why she doesn't totally break down. Doesn't really any sense, but at least it's an attempt...on my part. It doesn't really help that the characters seem to understand exactly how the hourglass mechanics work, even though there was nothing to lead them to believe that it would work in such a manner.

Keep in mind that, despite my digressions into talking about the mechanics of the plot in detail, the issue isn't that there's some absurd plot device to drive the romance and comedy along, but that the utilization of said plot device is not internally consistent within the work itself. The self-control plot point is also not the only one in which there are inconsistencies, but it was the one that stood out to me the most.

The comedy in the manga is alright, at least, and somewhat makes up for the plot not making a lot of sense. Certain plot points introduced in one part of the manga are played off for jokes in later parts, which is some nice and funny reincorporation to see. The jokes surrounding Subaru's lewdness can be funny, though sometimes her attempts to discretely masturbate in front of others are a bit much. Sometimes she'll think that the other party won't notice, but it's so clear that they can that it's a bit hard to laugh at. And then there are the times where they actually don't notice, despite the fact that she's as conspicuous as she always is. Still, it's not all bad, and there are other times when the jokes are set up fairly well. The comedy was the main reason that I kept reading, though even the better jokes manage to get a little repetitive over the course of a mere 13 chapters. There could've been some more creative jokes with a premise like this, and I think that if the aforementioned "stealing self-control" plot device were better utilized, there could've been better comedy.

The manga did not handle exposition all that well. During the early parts of the manga, the beginning of every single chapter started with the main character narrating his backstory and how he and Subaru ended up where they are today, with the same amount of excruciating detail every single time. I think this manga had a slow release schedule which might explain why this happened, but the exposition was just ridiculous regardless and definitely kills a lot of the potential reread value. One positive about the narration is that during a short portion in the middle of the series, Subaru takes over the narration for a while, and this was a good way to see things from her perspective and to better understand her character.

Speaking of character, the characters are a mixed bag for me. Subaru is a tsundere and pretends to despise Akira at the start of the series, but deep down she loved him and was working very hard to convince her father that she should marry him. I think the joke is that she tried to stay away from him so that she wouldn't be tempted by her lewd fantasies and so that he wouldn't find out about them, but how did she expect to actually get together with him when she completely avoided him and said that she hated him whenever they actually did interact (much to his dismay)? If not for the supernatural elements of the series, they would've never interacted with each other and realized their love for one another. I realize that this is sort of the point, but it's a bit much. Although some of the romantic developments and declarations of love later in the series are somewhat satisfying, it can feel a little out of left field at first due to Subaru's behavior at the start of the series. Akira himself is unremarkable as a character. He was nice to his childhood friend and worked very hard to see her again and be with her, and that about sums it up. There are a few interesting moments where he realizes his own perversions through Subaru's loss of self-control, but it's not much. One of his motivations is to better himself as a person so that he can be suitable for Subaru, and although he does this, it doesn't receive much focus. There is a villain character who is corny as hell and not all that well-written, even as far as corny one-note villains go. We see some other characters who are part of Subaru's family but they're a bit underwhelming and don't leave much of an impression, and are ultimately just plot devices for the story or for Subaru and Akira's romantic development. Despite Subaru talking a lot about how she cares for some of her family, we don't see a lot of it -- so, missed opportunity.

The highlight of the characters is the relationship between Akira and Subaru, but even that isn't all that great. I already talked a little bit about it above, where the initial setup for their relationship is not very well thought out. As far as how it develops, the idea is that Subaru's loss of self-control reveals her true feelings for Akira, and that over time, she'll come to reveal her true feelings for him more and more while she actually has her self-control. It's a fine idea, but it didn't necessarily come to fruition all that well though. Sometimes the story would forget the progress that the two had made in their relationship, e.g. at one point she admits to him that he's the one she wants to marry, then later tries to play it off (in a tsun-like fashion) like she didn't specify that it was necessarily him even though she clearly did (and I don't mean that she only implied it the first time -- it was pretty unambiguous). There are times where Subaru's perverted desires are revealed to Akira and he accepts them because he loves all sides of her, then later the manga acts like this never happened and she's hiding these desires out of fear again. This kind of thing cheapens the development that you'd already built up to that point. There are also a couple of moments where the two characters grow a little closer, but it's not always particularly clear on why they did. Despite a lot of the issues I have though, the romantic developments that are present don't do a terrible job of endearing us to these two characters at times, so it's not hard to see how a reader might root for them to work hard against the forces trying to keep them apart.

One of the ideas presented in the manga is that one doesn't need a (material) reason to love someone, which is a point that comes up whenever Subaru's love for an average guy like Akira is questioned. Although it's a cliche theme that could have been presented better, it led to some of the better and more heartfelt scenes for the couple's romance, so the work gets a few points for that.

The art is not all that note-worthy. It's not bad, it's not great, but it gets the job done. The characters are drawn well enough, and Subaru is cute (if a bit generic) looking. Things like the surrounding environment generally look fine, but sometimes drawn in such a way that the artist could avoid needing to draw too much detail (I assume). One cool thing about the art is that in the early chapters Subaru was drawn in different attire when in Akira's room to illustrate a difference between her refined facade and her true self, but this idea was dropped pretty quickly and she just dons her 'good' look for most of the subsequent chapters.

This manga ultimately feels like a bag of mixed opportunities for me. The premise is an interesting one, but the story tripped over itself in attempting to handle it. The romance is decent at times, but then a later event will cheapen the developments up until that point. The main characters aren't awful, but they could've gotten better development and their motivations could've been better explained. The minor characters are mostly plot devices, which wouldn't have been too bad if they didn't so blatantly feel like plot devices and nothing more. The comedy was the best part, but it was hit-or-miss and could've been more creative. To sum things up numerically:

Story: 3/10, the premise was poorly handled and the exposition was grating.
Art: 5.5/10, it's fine.
Characters: 4ish/10 or so...on their own they weren't great and there were a lot of missed opportunities. The romance could've been better, and a lot of the better aspects were squandered in some way.
Enjoyment: 5/10 or something, I didn't quite love or hate any part of this series, though I appreciated the comedy a little more than I disliked other aspects, and for a quick read it's not bad to look at.

Overall: I'll call it a 4/10 or around there. It's not really a BAD read (honestly, you kinda know what you're getting into), but not my cup of tea.

It contains some spoilers from the beginning of the manga.

"No matter what, I love you and I will continue loving you forever" is a phrase that applies very well to the plot of this manga. Anyways, it's like a one more "soft-hentai romance" but with its quirks of wealthy families.

The boy, Saito, who had a childhood friend. The girl, Subaru, is like a tomboy, she played with "our protagonist" every time, and she didn't matter to get dirty. They were good friends. Yeeey!

One day, the girl goes to a famous boarding school that the boy can't go because "it's for rich families". So he studied his ass off in his desire to meet her again and he manages to do it. He passed all the exams like a good boy and he percieves that the girl has changed her aspect totally... But the girl is avoiding him. She drift away from him. What a pitty!

But, god acts, and something will happen, the dorms of the girl and the boy have connected themselves. But not just any god, the god abverse is acting. Now the dorms has been conected, and they must live in together in the same room. But hey! We are forgeting something important about the plot... Subaru lost her self-control because of no one knows it and turns like a perver-girl 1 hour per day.

About the character I've alredy mentioned something about them. Subaru is a double personality girl (she seems to be perver and possessive, but really is a good girl) who loves Saito, but at the begining she is cold with him and she doesn't talk at all. And Saito, the boy who works very hard. He break his ass on working and studying to finally can meet Subaru, he's friendly and he get depressed easily.

The art is very good at my point of view, but sometimes it's like; Oops! This guy is like a transformer, how the hell have they drawn him? -- but this only happens a few times. Don't worry. In general is very good.

So, here we have the combination of fantasy and soft hentai romance. In 5 chapters of 40 pages.

Anyways, I like it a lot. Currently is fully released and in less than an afternoon you could read it at all. I assure you that you will like it.

Story: 8 - Very good.
Art: 7 - Good.
Character: 9 - Great.
Enjoyment: 8 - Very good.
Overall: 8 - Very good.

story:9
Art:10
Charater:9.5
enjoyment:11(dude this manga is like a hiden gem)
Overall:100/10(cant say enough)

Hooo boy, where to begin with this manga? From the door, you expect a typical "Childhood friends turned romance" story with a bit of Tsundere thrown in for taste but boy does that disappear fast. It becomes more like a story out of a doujin and with good reason, this manga is border line hentai. Regardless, the story was very satisfying with a good amount of somewhat unexpected plot twists in the mix, the characters were entertaining and unique, the art was nothing extraordinary, and the overall "ride" was worth the read. Definitely something to read if you like more, er, mature romance novels.

There’s been a complaint within the anime-watching community that too many shows lack a solid relationship aspect, most likely due the amount of battle-harem shows that flood the roster each season. It’s quite frustrating to watch characters skirt around painfully obvious emotions and never act on those emotions or see if their feelings are mutual. As such, it should be a bit of a relief to read a manga that very, VERY clearly shows a relationship commence and continue during its runtime, right? Well, Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou somewhat does that, but in the worst way possible.
Art for this series was completely average, perhaps even lackluster given the shortness of the manga. The entire series lacked detailing, whether on the interior of a building or in the few outdoor scenes. Walls were blank and bare, clothing minimalistic and impersonal, and furniture so standard it appeared to be part of a slice of life manga asset pack
Lack of detailing extended to the appearance of the cast as well, with the main pair looking similar to any number of other romance protagonists. Other supporting characters had maybe a single defining characteristic, such as hair fashion or inclination to wear suits. Side characters such as students or people on the street might even lack eyes and uniforms only lessened the differences between them.
Characters are similarly uninteresting, usual encaptured in two or three character traits to the point that the story makes a joke about few activities they actually partake in outside of interacting with one another. Of the four characters listed in the MAL page, only two appear for more than 4 chapters, and while other characters exist, their personalities are as expansive as their wardrobes as discussed earlier. Personality traits also appeared to have been on a premium, as even the main leads generally get by with a handful of interests, usually revolving around each other.
Finally, plot, oh the plot. Ecchi series rarely need much to justify the presence of borderline nudity, but when the entire plot focuses on either two people getting it on or a few things that get in the way of them getting it on, one can be sure new depths are being plumbed. A few subplots crop up around this main focus, but serve little more purpose than to temporarily prevent the main pair from being together. These minor inconveniences usually get through a few jokes through sheer absurdity, and then receive a conclusion either contrived or way to easy on the main cast simply to return to the status quo.
In conclusion, Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou is completely and utterly stupid in its intent and content. Without strength from either art, plot, or characters, the series might have been better off a full hentai and skip the rush of censorship and adding in other characters and subplots. This series is good solely for a laugh at how contrived situations the main characters can get into, and proves that just having an actual relationship on display does not excuse a lack of characterization or interesting writing.

This manga has to go to horny jail!

Okay,unfunny jokes aside,this is a pretty bold story,it's always interesting to see a manga display matters of sexuallity in such an explicit manner,I personally see that as one of the many strengths of Inio Asano(Oyasumi Pun Pun,Sekai no Owari to Yoaki Mae) as an author,he displays it as a normal thing and doesn't fear showing it,and that gives a kind of sincerity to his work,but yeah...sometimes,at least for me,if you go too far on that,not only does it just become borderline hentai,but also laughable.
And well this is a comedy,so it makes sense that it's laughble,but that's the joke,they have sex,they're horny,and that's what carries the "comedy" aspect of the series,and it's also one of the only things that is slightly entertaining here. The story is painfully cliche,and it doesn't even try to not be,setting up all the stuff you've already seen in thousands of other potentially better written and funnier romantic commedies.
The art is pretty good,I personally like Mengo Yokoyari's character designs
specifically,and overall it's pretty solid,so no noteworthy problems there.
I also kind of liked Saito and Subaru,together,that is, their interactions are sometimes fun to read, (usually when they're not being repeteadly horny because why not),but there's not much depth to them individually either,Saito is an average dude whose character trait is being in love with the main girl,and Subaru is a donzel in distress,her quirk being that she is a sexually repressed tsundere,and that's pretty much it, and as I said, they're made slightly better by each other,wich is a good aspect,means they have a chemestry that the reader can identify.
So the commedy and the interactions between the two protagonists are what drive the series,and even that is not always great,you'll probably laugh at one joke or another,and smirk at some cute moments, but that's all the enjoyment the manga has to offer,it's a good thing that it's short,because I would probably not be that interested in going through to the end if it was longer.
Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou is a mediocre romance story that has good chemestry between the main characters,decent comedy and a story that will probably force those that demand even a small hince of originality to drop it even though it's so short; if you don't mind all the cliches and poor writing and think the characters and slightly funny jokes can carry you through this story,than go for it,if not,I advise against reading it.

- "(...) Are you saying you consider masturbating to be primary function of life like breathing? That you masturbate so you can live?"
- "No. I live so I can masturbate. I breathe so I can masturbate."

Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou is really short seinen ecchi romance. Because of its length it doesn't offer much story progression or character development. What it does offer, is damn good ecchi and some good comedy. Romance part is rather average from technical perspective but satisfying nonetheless. Despite axed ending and forced drama near the end, the story felt finished and not too rushed.
Cast is small. Other than 2 mains there are only like 4 side characters that that have any meaning for story. We get to learn some backstory for main pair and see different sides of their characters, but I'd say they are still pretty simple and don't really change over the course of story.

Art in this manga is really good. Character design and background are solid, but what is the most important is how well the author drew ecchi scenes. While drawing of bodies themselves could be better, the angles, motion and effect made them really erotic.

When it comes to enjoyment it should be pretty high for anyone who, like me, enjoys good ecchi that doesn't rely on flooding reader with boobs. On the other hand there is understandable turnoff in form of NTR scares. Still, it's a short manga with satisfying ending, that at times can be more erotic than many hentai titles. If you like ecchi in seinen version, then you definitely should try Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou.

It’s not every day a subscriber or anyone recommends you a manga of this caliber. You see shortly before reading this manga I read the manga Oretama. But a subscriber has recommended me a manga that surely should be considered a Hentai… yet it is not a Hentai, it is in fact a normal manga with a story. That being said, do not read this if you’re under the age to do so it is incredibly graphic. But I will say this, if you do choose to read this, it’s a short manga that is pretty funny all things considered.

Background

You Are Dirty, My Queen is a short 2 volume Manga just spanning 13 chapters and is written by Lynn Okamoto, he is known for; Elfen Lied, Brynhildr in the Darkness, and Parallel Paradise. This manga of course has not been adapted into an anime like the first two manga I mentioned, and I wouldn’t expect it to be. The art though is done by Mengo Yokoyari, she is know for manga like; Haruwaka, Scum’s Wish, Retort Pouch, and the Hentai Manga, Mokkai Shiyo. Besides doing straight up Hentai, her work seems to be more oriented on ecchi, usually the more extremely graphic side of ecchi. Two of her works have been adapted to anime, one being Scum’s Wish and the other being the Mokkai Shiyo into a hentai anime.

Story

The story for this one is a little… thin to say the least. There isn’t a whole lot of story here to be had at all, and the story we do get is to really just basically set it up. Everything else after that is really based on jokes and thinking of weird scenarios to put the characters in. This will never be a story you read just for its plot. This is a story your will read because you get to see a lot of nudity and how funny it is in a ridiculous way. And I guess let’s talk about the comedy as it’s the best part of this series, at least to me. The comedy is centered around basically being incredibly pervy and adult oriented. There aren’t a lot of jokes here that aren’t meant to be anything more than either cringey or raunchy. But the jokes as is are pretty funny, they’re over the top and just kinda pokes fun at sex in general. The dialogue here is absolutely ridiculous too, and is one of the reason’s I find it so hilarious. I can’t repeat is here sadly as it’s not something that’s Youtube friendly and I don’t want to get a strike.

Characterizations

For the characters there is absolutely no development here or focus on any sort of it. It doesn't even focus on the romance aspect of it for any more than a couple of pages. All you really get is that Saitou and Subaru are childhood friends and they love each other dearly, but also Subaru is a nymphomaniac who literally and I am using this term correctly, literally masturbates all day every day. That’s all of the characterizations right there, so basically none is what you get. If you want deep characters this is not it and this is the biggest downfall of this manga.

Art

Alright here is where I kinda have to for the first time ever commend an ecchi manga for its art. The art here is by far some of the most… detailed. Ugghhhh I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s actually good okay. To start off I like the character designs a lot, I feel they’re very well designed and quite unique to the series itself. Then again we really only see two characters throughout the whole series besides our main female leads sister, and no don’t even start, it doesn’t get that bad. The nudity is also another facet of this as well, and while I don’t read or even watch Hentai, I noticed how covered with sweat they all were. I don’t know if that’s good or not, or if that’s just something people like… but there is a lot of it for sure. Also weird mist coming out of Subaru’s mouth is weird, don’t know what that’s about either. I’m not going to judge it too hard based off this, as I honestly don’t know if this is a bad or good thing for Ecchi manga that border on hentai, as I don’t read hentai or Ecchi usually. So I mentioned them here because some may enjoy it.

Final Rating

This is a short review for a short manga, but don’t misunderstand I enjoyed my time with this manga quite a bit. It wasn’t terrible by any standards and it knew how ridiculous it was and just continued to go more and more ridiculous with each panel. If you like terribly over the top fanservice and ecchi, then this is for you. If you like romance, story, characterizations… well this is not for you at all and you should avoid it.

You Art Dirty, My Queen receives a 7/10!
