Plus-sized Elf Specials

 After the fun series, it is time for the two specials: Muffin Top Lovers and Calorie Lovers.

These bonus episodes where released on the Blu-Ray after initially being aired on the streaming service.

In the first special, Muffin Top Island, the girls are invited by Tomoatsu and his boss, Akiho, to a secluded island resort.  But while the girls are trying to enjoy themselves, mysterious things start to happen, like Laika being pulled down in the sand when she tries to capture a tentacle.  Later, they have a barbeque, a kraken emerges, responsible for the misschief caused so far.  The girls face off, but their powers are insufficient against a creature of that size.  

But Gonda, mad that the beast tries to ruin their island experience, angrily attacks it with her flaming dragon breath, inadvertently burning off the other girl's swimsuits.  The girls see the beast retreat and tend to Tomoatsu, who is in shock after witnessing Gonda's attack...

In the second special, Calorie Lovers, Tomoatsu finds himself in an alternate high school romatic comedy setting, surrounded by the girls all vying for his attention.  This even goes as far as Oeda, their teacher, trying to seduce him and the girls all pouring water over themselves to expose their breasts after they see him offer his jacket to Kusahanada.  It turns out he promised to marry one of them back when they where children, and they all still swoon over him for that.  But a new diet supplement has started turning people into zombies which shifts the romcom to a zombie survival... and it all turns out to be a nightmare imposed on him by Satero, and while she is defeated by Kuroeda, he wakes up finding both girls naked on top of him.

So, two more episodes in the trend of the original series: quite funny and quite ecchi, so I wasn't complaining hehehe.

Plus-sized Elf

 Time for some comedy fantasy anime, as Plus-sized Elf is one of the series I had marked down to watch during summer season.

 

 

And eventually watched it during the winter season... but that doesn't stop me to watrch a lot of oppai, as this is definitly a series in the ecchi comedy category.

 

Tomoatsu is a massage employee at the Smiley Boar, who gets an extremely obese client one night.  This woman, Elfuda, turns out to be an Elf that travelled here through a gateway to explore, but got addicted to french fries.  As a result, she can't return as the portal works on weight of those that traverse it, and together she goes on a strict work out and diet, allowing her to return home.  Only to be encountered soon after, and plus-sized again, as she couldn't miss the fries.

 

In a convenience store they meet Kuroeda, who seems to be a Dark Elf and immediatly engages in a weight related rivaly with Elfuda, and asks his help to be able to fit back in her garbs that allow her to use magic.  They also help out Alraune, who suffers from back issues, and an ogre that resides in the sauna of a spa, Oga.  Further adventures bring more and more mythical creature girls (a mermaid, a werewolf, etc...) seeking out his help, and soon he is training a whole harem of girls who loose their tops easier then their weight.

 

 

Tomoatsu himself though suddenly starts to gain weight, and his techniques don't seem to work.  Kuroeda and Elfuda summarise he is under a spell, cast by a satyr called Satero in order to feed of his avarice.  As a result the mythical beings start a schedule of staying with him overnight, as satyr form a strong bond with their prey, and can protect him that way. 

Satero keeps bugging Tomoatsu though, but when they drive her off and go to a private gym Oga meets a woman called Hitome, a cyclops and natural rival of ogres, resulting in a fierce sparring between the two.  Akiho, his boss who has a crush on him, gives them access to a yoga room, Satero observing before fleeing in embaressement from the suggestive poses.  Kuroeda brews a potion shrinking him to child size, which was actually a mistake as it was supposed to be a weight loss brew to make his job easier, and luckily the effects wear off soon.

But another mysterious elf has travelled through the portal, following Elfuda.  This turns out to be hard as nails aunt, coming to check in on her as she hasn't visited her mom in a while.  She subjects Elfuda to a hard regime, causing her to losse weight and get back in shape, but Oeda, having aquired a taste for icecream, now can't return herself.  She must follow Tomoatsu's regime now herself...

This was a fun, and ecchi, series with some great gags in them.  While not a classic to be, it is worth the watch though for some innocent giggles.

Breasts are my favorite thing in the world volume 1 - Wakame Konbu

 So, a series I got the first volume from thanks to Noshi during our Eindhoven trip in august.

And the title, well, it has a point... so let's see what this is all about then!

Well, going by the title, it won't be a manga about ping-pong... 

Chiaki has a serious fetish: boobs!  And especially those off Harumi, who is well endowed and helps her to keep her obsession in check by letting Chiaki fondle them every so often.  Chiaki claims she loses all het strength and be good in anything if she doesn't get her daily dose of fondling, and not even for the sake of sexy things, she is just obsessed with them.  But as she is rather small chested herself, she can't resort to, as she calls it, being self-sufficient.

Chiaki is also the most popular girl in school though, the one all the girls have like a crush on, as they want to be like her.  That's why Harumi is from another school, to keep the secret safer.  But she also wants more and more, like a breast sandwich or even have her take her bra off to prevent the markings in her face.  Trading cell numbers with Harumi at last, she decides she actually wants to be a bra, feeling her bare breasts.

 

 

When Harumi skips some meetings, Chiaki starts to unravel in her performances, even trying to fondle herself in the process to unsatisfactory results. Luckily Harumi returns right before her important archery tournament.  But Harumi from her side is wondering wether she is developping feelings of love for Chiaki.

 

Chiaki takes her out for lingerie shopping, insisting on buying it for her out of thanks for all she does. But then they are almost caught when trying on each others bra's by Kana, a first year under Chiaki's wings at school...

Nope, this was not my thing at all.  It had 9 chapters, and nothing happened but some fondling, and the gags weren't even funny.  This is one series I won't get the other volumes for at all.

Shin Ikkitousen

 Time for some harem fighting girls anime in this 3 part OVA Shin Ikkitousen.

And this time, it is the reincarnated spirit of Himiko, the former queen of Yamatai, that comes to Kanto.  And the ecchi side is a bonus hehehe.

 

When Nanyou Academy is savagely attacked by Himiko's ally Yamada, out to retrieve a sacred sword stored there, Hakufu's sister Chuubou faces them.  She awakens the dragon in her, but falls in a deep unconsciousness state as a result.  Hakufu arrives just in time to stop the assault, back from her trip abroad.

 

Chuubou's Chi has been used up from the dragon manifesting, Hakufu is set out go to a sacred training ground linked to the underworld in order to get her power back.  Meeting an elderly lady, and a female monk called Ganryu she starts training by fighting back the undead, together with another girl called Tamonmaru.  But she sees visions of her friends Mou and Kan'u in the underworld, and goes to save them. 

Mou faces the spirit of Ryofu, who engages her.  Tamonmaru finds an opening under the altar of the abandoned temple, running into Mou who has overcome the spectre.  But as the flood of undead starts streaming the land, the others have to make a run for ut while Hakufu needs to search on to help her sister.  Tamonmaru stays behind to slow down the tide approaching, being grieveously impaled as she fights the mass.  Ganryu also stops the ascend to the exit, passing her sword to Mou before going back to aid her comrade.  But they are overwhelmed, and with the old master buying Mou the time she needs, she escapes with the sword.

And then the story basically ends, with a lot of open ends and arcs to be resolved... hopefully that will actually happen, instead of becoming another Queen's Blade anime.

 

 

Asumi-chan is intrested in Lesbian Brothels volume 2 - Kuro Itsuki

 Next on the reading list for this year it is time for a "Men of culture" book.

And that is, little innocent Asumi exploring the world of escorts more, in the hopes of finding her crush again and bringing her back into her life.

Unknowingly having booked her high school crush and goal of her bookings, it is Mai who recognizes her and starts getting all nervous for the appointment, as they both blame themselves it turned out in a let-down when they tried that first kiss all those years ago.  

But that means she has to work as well to keep her brothel visits paid, and at her job in the catcafe, a special school girl event takes place.  But as she is getting overworked, she comes down with a fever and has to cancel her appointment.  As she goes back to the website for a re-booking, it turns out the girl, whom is actually Mai, is full for the coming weeks.  Instead she books Serina, an experienced girl that shows her great pleasure, and due to their get together decides not to retire from the job.

Later she learns her senpai not only knows Serina, but that she herself once briefly worked in a brothel.  Deciding to try the sites specials, she tries a threesome with two girls she had already met before.  Here she gains new experiences, like watching to people making love for the first time before being drawn in herself.  And as such, gaining an experience not even her senpai ever had.

When they are discussing it, they find a keychain of an anime figure, and soon after a girl comes to look for it, Asumi inviting her to go see the new movie.  The girl, Nanao, is rather shy though.  They have a fun night out, and Asumi befirends her.  But when she returns home, she sees on the brothel app that one of the girls, Iroha, offers a cosplay service as she loved the movie as well, resulting in Asumi booking her.  Though their passionate evening makes it difficult for her to see the movie a second time without reliving her cosplay adventure...

And so the second volume comes to an end with a short bonus story of a young Azumi and Mai having a sleepover, and we gear up for the next instalment.

Asumi-chan is intrested in Lesbian Brothels volume 1 - Kuro Itsuki

 Aaaah, a good old love story about the one that got away...

Though the title might be a hint where she ended up!  So yes, ecchi inside mucho...

Sweet and weird college student Asumi had a childhood crush on her friend Mai, but their first kiss was a disaster.  During a party, she reflects on this with her senpai, and how that disaster came about due to her inexperience.  Her friend thinks she recognizes Mai from a lesbian brothel, taking Asumi for her first visit ever.

The booked girl doesn't turn out to be Mai, but a gentle girl taking care of the very nervous Asumi.  But as the girl returns to her agency afterwards, she seems to live together with Mai, who still cherishes the same picture as Asumi of both of them when they where younger.  When Asumi decides to find Mai on her own, she starts studying some adult DVD's to research what is out in the world.  

Her next appointment is with Jun, a strong, tomboyish girl that afterwards also seems to know Mai.  Because of the expensive nature of her search, Asumi goes out to look for a part-time job.  She gets hired at Izumi's bar thanks to senpai, which turns out is a maid cafe for female customers only.  On her day off, Izumi takes her along for a photoshoot of ecchi cosplay, that goes a bit further and pays well.   Together with senpai, the money is used to book a double date and Asumi ends up with Ena, a soft first timer girl.

Mai meets with the girls, who all have been with Asumi, who herself is becoming a bit the talk of the town.  She follows a collegue booked by this Asumi girl, and discovers it is indeed her long lost love.  As she showers, she ponders what is going on as a message pops on her phone stating she has been booked by Asumi for next week.

And that will be for the next volume.  It is quite innocent in the Asumi character, and given the title no suprise it is ecchi as well.  But to be honest, I`m still in doubt of this particular series, I will keep following it but I am not certain it will become one of my great series that I read in the past in the end...

Queen's Blade Grimoire

 So, here we are at perhaps the most difficult letter of the alphabet challenge, the Q.

Luckily in a way, there was still a short OVA series I needed to watch from the Queen's Blade series, and that was Grimoire.

While counting only 2 OVA episodes, this sidestory takes place after Leina's championship ended, focussing on royal court magician Alicia who by using black magic opens a door to another dimension.  Lured in there by a rabbit, she finds herself in Melfairland, which is holding it's own Queen's Blade tournament which she enters in an effort to find a way back home.

 

Encountering a big wolf, Zara or Red Riding Hood, a kind girl she met earlier, breaks her way out from the beasts stomach, engaging her in a Queen's Blade duel, possessed by undead powers.  In the meantime, more beautiful warrior girls enter the call for the tournament, recruited by Kyuel.

 

 

Like Tiina, a mermaid princess who, against the will of her father, uses the sacred orb of her Kingdom to be able to walk on land and as such enter Queen's Blade, even though she just dreams of going to a dance. She defends her kingdom though from the pirate queen Liliana, getting her father's approval to join the tournament.

But there this series ends, seemingly no further episodes have been made and as such we never know if Alicia ever gotten back home or who won this tournament.  An issue that seemingly is strife with Queen's Blade series after the first one, as this is now the second OVA set that never concluded...

Ikkitousen Western Wolves

 For the I in the challenge, we came out at a short series, counting 3 OVA episodes.

But for those that know the original Ikkitousen, one can imagine why this man of culture selected this one from his planned to watch list...

 

Kanu, Hakufo and the rest are back, as are their malfunction wardrobes...  

The series starts with a duel interfered by a girl called Himiko, who is seen as the big predator, and who defeats Sousou fighting, putting him in the hospital.  Hakufu seems depressed now that her friends are taken out, but the others believe she will be the next target of Himiko who want to take their magatama's.

Koukin begs for their power to protect Hakufu, as Gentoku steps in and decides they will go on a "field trip" to Himiko's college.  The whole gang joins in, making Koukin think they might actually pull it off.  But Himiko is waiting for them, but first there is the trip to the onsen.  Yes, it is really ecchi here as they go about oppai comparison... but during the night an assassin comes to the onsen, beginning the confrontation between both groups.

They are attacked in the surrounding area by henchmen, and become split up having to face their own challenges.  Like Koukin having to face a naked cat warrior for example, or Ekitoku having to go through additional training to become more powerfull.

As the group, who misses some members as a result, decides to try and go for it, the others race to rejoin them in the fight.  But facing Himiko, they are quickly realising she might be out of their league.  But just as she reaches Gentoku, the others arrive.  The fight is still a hard one though, as she seems to be on another level, using illusions against her opponents.  But it is Ekitoku of all warriors that finally overcomes her for now, returning the magatama's to their owners.

Okay, top notch animation, but the final confrontation might feel a bit rushed though, taking place only the final 7 minutes of the third episode.  BUT, ecchi.  Lots of it.  I`m good with this series.  Bring on the sequel!

Divine Raiment Magical Girl Howling Moon volume 1 - Kenji Saito and Shouji Sato

 Time to start a short (it's 3 volumes), ecchi manga this time round, and purely because of the cover grabbing my attention.

Because ecchi oppai magical girls, what is not to like?

During a school trip, Kaguya and Himawari are abducted by a criminal organisation called Millenium, who is responsible for attacks all over Japan.  But are they actually the bad guys, even behind their monstrous looks?  Isn`t the government agency Six perhaps the real evil?  Kaguya and Himawari are split up as Six comes swooping in, the latter freed by them as Kaguya is taken away to a secret base.

Kaguya wakes up, her body seemingly matured, in a Millenium lab, and learns the organisation aren't people dressed up as monsters, but actual monsters!  She meets the boss, Nine, who tells her she is the last hope for humanity to save the race from the wicked gods behind Chaos Six.  Joining a mission to see what it is all about, she runs into Himawari.  Working for Six, she transforms into the magical girl Flaming Star and slays the monster that went with Kaguya.  Refusing to believe she is actually Kaguya, she herself transforms into Howling Moon and holds Flaming Star off.

 

She returns to her normal life, to secretly observe those around her and try to weed out the enemy.  But of course, to protect herself she needs to keep her identity of Howling Moon a secret, even from Himawari. While Himawari admits that she works for Six to protect the world, this tears Kaguya into doubt, but she is soon supported by Nine who starts working at her school as an assistant teacher.

She meets the Deep Sea Empress Klier after school, who takes her to her own reality and explains what is at stake, before assaulting her.  This however leads to Howling Moon fully awakening, and while unable to defeat Klier yet, Kaguya now realises her true purpose at last.

Okay, so a regular magical girl manga series, with a sauce of ecchi poured over it basically.  I can`t say I was awed by it, though I will complete the series of course, but this won't be a priority to get series.  Rather one of those on and off things you occassionally toss in your basket.

JK Haru is a Sexworker in Another World volume 1 - Ko Hiratori and J-ta Yamada

 Okay, let's get two things straight: I like isekai, and I am "a man of culture".

And I`m not ashamed to admit either of those statements!

So a recent manga I aquired over at Akiba.be is this "parental advisory" labelled story, and yeah, it's a tat different as the name suggests from the typical "young guy gets ressurected in another world to save it as the titular hero" which might even be a name for an isekai come to think of it.

 

Haru and her classmate Chiba are ran over by a runaway truck during a school outing, and find themselves reincarnated in a harsh fantasy world.  Ironically,  weak Chiba comes with three skills that put him on almost godlike adventurer level, while Haru is on the lowest social ladder.  Women are tools in this world, and in order to survive she starts working the only job she knows: in a brothel.  

 

 

In her previous life, she was an escort during her middle school years, so putting those skills to good use in the new one, she craves out a living for herself.  But she wants more in this world, even though she seems to be blocked at every corner in the mysgenic society, meaning she might have to resort to Chiba after all to help her forward.

I must add though, this isn't a hentai book, every action and handling is subtely shaded.  Just to put things into the right perspective you know.

Ishuzoku Reviewers

One can wonder sometimes what the heck they make anime's about... or one can just watch the abundance of fanservice.

 

 

And that is the case with this ecchi fantasy comedy, as it is all about... reviewing brothels from a variety of species!

 

And it all starts out with what sounds like a japanese cover of YMCA... I kid you not!

 

 

Stunk and Zel are two perverts who made this their life mission, and are soon joined by an injured angel, Crimvael, who can`t return to heaven before her halo is repaired.  And she gets defiled within the hour of meeting them, loosing his purity to a cat girl. But the investigations turn out to be the most popular and earning reports on the hero bulletin board.

They are approached by the spokesperson (the Piccolo reference loool) of Death Abyss, a demonic political party candidate that wants to get a bit more popular in the public view, to make an honest review of demonic succu-girls.  But not before they experience the joy of a gender swap!

They continue exploring "the frisky life" with various species in the world (the golem episode is plain hilarious!), while we learn Stunk is actually a very legendary warrior as well, who fell out with his father but doesn`t look back on his past.

 

 

The series is also riddled with awesomely hilarious inside jokes, like a guy that managed to remain a virgin until 30 turning into a wizard, or some references to isekai anime, so it is truly worth the watch.  It's just one of those series you think the creators must have had a blast at team meetings while making this...

Be warned though, weirdness reaches new levels with the egg episode!

Redo of Healer

 Okay, so we watched perhaps the most discussed isekai of the past years... and not for good reasons.

Because the fact that this rather ecchi, violent and downright wrong story has gotten an anime adaption, made many frown in advance.

Not me though, ecchi is nice teeheeeheeeee... now we did watch the censored version, afterwards we found ep 1 uncensored and that gives a whole other, well, experience as in the censored one whole scenes are either cut or changed.

 

Keyaru is a healer, who is being heavily abused physically, sexually and mentally by the rest of his party.  As he destroys a demon lord, he uses the Philosopher's Stone to reset the world to before his adventuring life began, and starts plotting his vengeance.  Suffering months of torture and abuse all over, the finally comes he has waited for, and he begins his vengeance by raping the princess Flare.  After he is done with her, he changes her face and wipes her memory, turning her into his personal toy.

 

 

 He also buys an Ice Wolf Clan slavegirl whom he bonds to himself, and helps her extract vengeance against the slavers of her village, as does he enthrall legendary swordsmaster Kureha.  When captain leonard enslaves the inhabitants of his old village, and violates his childhood friend Anna into death, he tricks him into captivity.  He performs his appearance changing skills on him, turning him into a woman surrounded by his men, high on a strong aphrodisiac.  As they rape their captain, he puts the place on fire... yeah, this isn`t your normal anime...

When his fellow villagers are executed, he lights the fuse of rebellion against princess Norn (Flare's younger, and even more perverted sister) and the kingdom as a whole, wanting to bring it all down.  He seals a pact with the future demon lord Eve Ries, the one he defeated before resetting time, and continues by taking his vengeance against former party member Blade.  As Norn attacks the city and kills his only friend, she triggers his ultimate vengeance on her as well.

Well, the concept of the series is pretty cool, and I can appreciate some well placed lewdness in my stories (Sin Nanatsu or Queen's Blade for example), I felt a lot of it in this case was rather misplaced, or just gratuitous because they just *had* to include a certain amount of fan service per episode.

I must admit, this severly influenced my score on MAL, trop is trop, though I am still curious how the story will continue.  But that will be in an uncensored version then for sure!

I'm the Hero, but the Demon Lord's also me Vol 1 - Tatsuya Endo & Akiyoshi Ota

 So I bought this manga, unknowing what it was.

Now, it was wrapped in plastic, and I just thought it was because the store, Akiba here in Antwerp, had received them like that.

Nope, it is because it is one big boob show!

Not that I mind, mind you gnahgnah...

The story seems to start like any other isekai, with Yuuma about to be ran over by a speeding truck.  he even thinks he will be reincarnated in another world... and miraculously escapes death, staying just where he is.

One day he is cleaning, when all of a sudden a scantily clad lady, princess Alfin, appears.  She claims he is a legendary gero (who, actually, turned out was his father) and he needs to save her kingdom again.  But then another gorgeous lady, the demon Lavinia, appears, claiming he is the demon lord instead (which was actually his mom)!  As it turned out, his parents decided to elope, because his father fell in love, and couldn`t resist her chest area!  And now both the women claim Yuuma as their own, with all awkwardness included!

As he first gets kidnapped by Kokene, a cat girl demon general that wants to be impregnated by him, he has to make Lavinia reach her power to use the Foreplay Flash to overcome her.  he learns his father lost both his and mother's magical swords though, so they have to find out where they are...

 

So yeah, it was one ecchi bubs-show volume, but heck, it was also hilarious as hell, so I`m definintly getting the other three volumes in the series!

Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai

 Every once in a while, one can have some guilty pleasure and watch an ecchi anime, and this time it was The Seven Mortal Sins.

And it had a lot of guilty pleasure gnih gnih gnih...

The anime is a take on the biblical story of how Lucifer was cast down from Heaven into Hell, where she plans to become to overlord, replacing Belial, and take her revenge on Michael.  Halfway on her plummet though, she gets stuck on Earth meeting and enslaving a girl named Maria.

Upon her arrival in Hell, she meets fangirl Leviathan and together they set out to overthrow the Seven Mortal Sins, but as they combine their powers they overcome Lucifer and place the Garb of Punishment on her, transforming her into a Demon Lord.

But one by one she overcomes the Sins, reducing the grip of the garment and uncovering a plot by Belial to sell out Hell in order for her to reascend to Heaven herself...

An okay series, with of course a LOT of very buxom fanservice, but heck, it was fun to watch and some decent laughs where let out.
