TLDR If you are into some high heat ecchi manga and love to get to know more about manga industry then this is for you First time writing a review here or anywhere in general so spare me with my basic vocab. That being said Ive been dying to write a review on this ever since I started reading it few years back. I usually enjoy anime as a medium and very rarely read a manga If I do read once in a while it mostly leans towards ecchi genre. This came in my radar when I was playing with Anilist filters filtering manga which is completed with chapter count less than 100 contains ecchi with rom com as genre but is not adult and is from JapanI know this seems so cringe but yes I did it Enough of this prologue jumping on to the review and my thoughts on it Minor Spoiler Ahead Story 9/10 I know if you are reading this then you are not for the story right? You want to know the type of fanservice it offers but bear a little we are getting there. Saotome Shimai wa Manga no Tame Nara? Saotome Sisters for the Sake of Manga? as the description on Anilist says is a screwball ecchi romantic comedy that leans heavily into metahumor about the manga industry itself. The story follows Mobu Saotome an aspiring mangaka who writes ecchi series. He is assisted by his two sisters who are all deeply in love with himyes obviously and serve as his references and assistants. Now the real thing this is on the levels of what I would say The Borderline Mastery It masterfully walks the line of being NSFW without crossing into hentai by using the substitute and camera pan techniques. Much of the humor comes from the protagonists struggle to remain professional while his sisters treat every drawing session as an opportunity for fanservice literally sexually assaulting our poor dense MC. And not just the sisters from the editor to their assistants or friends everyone finds a chance to get naked or get into situations which may not even feel suitable for a hentai and this is in every chapter with no exception. It also may smell like a little incest with just touching that line in the last few chapters so either you may look up to it or drop lol Character Designs 9/10 For an ecchi manga this is probably an important point much more important than the story lol. And they manage to pull it off nicely. This being focused on manga drawing itself there was a chapter wherein they detailed on how to make an ecchi manga successful and that isyou must have guessed is by making proper Oppais you need all types from small to big from normal to inverted every possible detail you need is there. And with the number of female characters they had it obviously covered all. Even the camera shots and substitutes to show the most explicit and perverted content one can imagine is shown beautifully not with just the light but anything they have from a pen to a leaf they just covered what it could have thrown this into an adult series. Other than the fanservice I think other designs is pretty average if you are into some beautiful sceneriesbut you are not here for that Pacing 8/10 This is more in a episodic format with couple of stories split into multiple parts. So nothing to say much about pacing but yes you still have to read it in order. Last chapters felt they rushed to make it end while I was expecting a better ending so it did hurt a little. Enjoying/ Reread Value? 10/10 For a very long time I was searching something to read which does not bore me out and this awakened something inside me each time I read a new chapter lol literally reading all the chapters which were out back then. I love how it kept its high heat premise all the way while at the same time it also tries to tell you the daily life of a mangaka although Im pretty sure they dont get this much fanservice in real life lmao. But on a serious note theres a lot which goes for even a single volume of manga to come out from story to drawings editors check and that too for a new mangaka to even stand out with thousands of mangas already beign published. Its actually a guilty pleasure that is surprisingly smart in its execution of tired harem tropes. And will probably sit on top of my manga list for a very long time and I have to definitely give this a reread without long breaks since English version is now completely out. Thats all from my side. Thank you for reading If you love ecchi series then do check this out the chapter count is less so will not take much of your time. Also be focused folks and as Mobu sensei says train hard lol 80https://i.ur.com/8OJMk9O.jpg
