Description
A Keio College (top notch Tokyo college) exam candidate, Touma Inaba, is interupted when a cute young girl, Urara Kasuga, arrives at his hotel room door. She later turns out to be his cousin who he barely remembers from his childhood. Urara, who had felt something special for him (an other-than-cousinly-love), invites Touma to live with her since he has no place to stay other than the hotel room. Before taking the test, Touma meets Meiko Yotsuba, a beautiful, sophisticated woman also trying to get into Keio. Meiko gets into Keio but Touma does not, due to a cold Urara had given him shortly before. Although he did not make it, he pretends he does to earn the respect of Meiko. Touma is caught up in a love triangle with Urara and Meiko, while struggling to keep Meiko believing he's really a Keio student and still be there for Urara at the same time.

@toto you say he's a scumbag for 2 volumes but i don't see his character changing and im almost 10 volumes in. i find the story to be too much ecchi without any proper development.

The comments saying this Manga is too much drama and raging about it are hugely exaggerating. Rape is nearly non existent except two scenes and one of them isn't even rape, but lesbian teacher blackmailing schoolgirl into cunillingus. I mean c'mon that isn't even sex! It's pure lesbian win! Other rape scene isn't worth mentioning: unimportant side character gets raped by thugs... nothing explicit shown. Yeah the male lead is an idiot. But so are the females too. The whole drama is artificially maintained by stupid mistakes as much as like in other manga and the inability of the protagonist to grow some balls and grow up. Altogether a slightly below average, mediocre and foreseeable read. Art is ok so far but nothing special. Some good drawn t*** and p*** right here. At times the proportions seems false but it is bearable.

Well, for me, its like the author let his feelings on the manga.

More probably he got betrayed for some slut girlfriend. Like they say "One cant imagine what cant be seen".
This manga started like a light read, but got darker and darker, to pure nonsense violence...they say that the ending was good, but, to me is more like the author got an new girlfriend or something like that.

The author like to picture sex, but honestly? I dont really think he has that much experience.

I never rate 1.0 a manga, but this manga deserve it, so that no one dare to read it again...

What bothered me the most, and it continues (I read from chapter 1 to 10), is the main/lead character. The foolishness and stupidity coming from this character questioned whether or not I should continue reading. I decided to give it a few attempts to continue but it just didn't work. I have read others where it starts with similar foolishness and stupidity of the main character only to develop but this is slow and occurs way to often.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I have completed reading all 20 volumes of Sakura Tsuushin. Story about a childhood love of a girl towards a boy and then faced numerous obstacles before finally getting married. Around volume 10 to 14, the ecchiness of the manga become pretty twisted with boy/man love, lolita incest exploitation, etc. Thought U-Jin went over the top.. However the manga comes back to normality with a twist at the final volumes, when the two lovers finally "mature". Final volume 20 might even bring a tear to your eyes... Remember that this is fantasy, though scenarios in this manga does happen in real life, it's not this ridiculous as depicted by the manga in some of the hardcore volumes.

Girl shows up at your room after just servicing a customer and expects you to love her? Ha! The best part of the entire manga is when he boots her out!

I had read a little of this a year ago and thought it was interesting. Decided to continue again recently, ignored all the bad ratings, wow do I regret it.... there was so many points in the story where it could have redeemed itself, instead it ALWAYS chooses the other route. I finished up volume 12 and I'm not sure I will continue unless the ending is satisfying.

Still, I'd recommend this so you guys can suffer with me ^_^

This like the worst manga i ever read, i just stopped at volume 8. The characters are idiots, esprcially the male lead, hes the worst human trash in a manga. It just gets boring and boring and then you ask yourself why did you start to read it in the first place

even his other series (which is hentai btw) angel has a better plot and more readable than this one.

this series just takes everything to the extreme with little justification for it. Little logic and a pathetic protagonist kills this off after the first 2-3 volumes. If you think you can go around abusing girls like that in real life, you'll end up in jail for most of your adult life before you know it.

truly a pathetic series imo. don't waste your time on this series - it's just that pathetic.

A little too dark for me. If there was any redemption at all it might be ok, but when a gang rape happens, and the guys get away with it, when another guy abuses his girlfriends, and nothing happens. Ecchi can only take a story so far. I'd recommend passing on this one, there are other stories just as ecchi but far more entertaining and fun.
