It's mainly very short episodic chapters of mostly light-hearted yuri SOL with a bit of comedy (or the other way round). Think Tsurezure Children, but not as 4-panel, a bit less comedy, slightly more mature, a bit raunchy and girls only. And it's hot, really.

The art is fantastic (mostly). Sure, in the beginning it may be a bit hard to tell the characters apart, but, boy, do they look gorgeous! Not your typical sticks with tits, no, they almost look like real people (very very very good-looking ones, of course).

As for story, weeeell, there isn't too much of that. Bunch of girls being quirky and/or falling in love, slow cooking, bit of more-of-the-same here and there (mostly done right). I wouldn't say that it misses anything in that regard. No, it's quite condensed if you will, mostly reduced to what matters. You never feel it lacks anything.

I have one complaint, though. Kaoru Yamada sucks.

I've seen many people's complaints about the manga being only about schoolgirls touching each other in a perverted manner, lacking any real plot or story; which is kind of almost exactly what it is - at least until volume 4(ish) onwards.
And I can't really blame anyone for just not wanting to read the whole thing because of how banal it might seem at first glance, something I might've been almost guilty of doing, too.
Comparing the first few volumes with the most recent ones makes it feel like you're comparing two completely different things, the theme, the characters, even the artstyle has evolved through the manga's 226 chapters (and counting) and almost 10 years of existance.
Personally I would say that this is not the type of manga for people that only read 2 or 3 chapters in order to tell if they've liked it or not (not that I think that's bad or anything, even I found myself almost giving up on reading it when I couldn't think of anything other than it being glorified ecchi!), and you'll have to read to a couple dozen 8 page long chapters until the characters start feeling way more like actual people and the relationships between them start feeling somewhat more realistic.

In conclusion, I think that, even after starting as just ecchi, Otome No Teikoku finally shines, after like 10 years of it's conception, as a slice of life-comedy-drama-yuri-romance-whatever manga about lesbian highschool girls.
Either that, or it's just that I fall in love way too easily with cute looking artstyles and lighthearted stories.

im bad at writing long stuff im sorry if i said the same thing thrice

As I said this manga starts slowly and if you dont know what your getting into than you would probably drop it but as i continued reading i started understanding the motivations and actions that the girls go through i realized with that the reason i started this manga is not the same as why i continue reading it.

As a lesbian I truly enjoy this because of the realistic characters and the beautiful art! The girls just look so soft to touch and each and every one expression is very realistic and really makes the art pop out.
This sort of reminds me of Sakura Kiss, but less manga-cliché and more ecchi. I just adore how the girls are shown as perverted in a way that makes it come from them as characters and not from the author wanting to just draw exposed girls. And there are also quite a few adorable love stories among all these wonderful characters and the pointless (but funny) storylines of teenage girls.

Not one for these type of manga but it funny and cute! There character i rather have focus more on. just mini stories of each character and for eye candy shots i guess.

Like DarrisonSaber said.....it's an ecchi that might as well be a hentai,, not really a story to it, just a premise, high-school girls do perverted stuff. It's not in NO WAY real....it's not bad, but I can assure you, this manga will just tease you into wanting a hentai version. :/

I usually don't like reading hentai/ecchi, but this one makes me laugh so hard; it's funny and easy-going, and with somewhat innocent characters. And the ecchi is drawn in a "cute" way, not all the way sexual. Maybe I like this manga because the ecchi makes me laugh instead of roll my eyes...

This is one heck of a perverted manga, bordering borderline h. No this is not realistic in any way possible; it's literally just girls wanna touch other girls every chapter! There's no story to this, it's simply eye candy. So if you enjoy eye candy, read this. If however, you enjoy a manga with depth, this is not right for you.

from the author of maka maka, this is less blatant manga which offers the same kind of enjoyability. reading this manga is like tracing highschool girl thought through their honest, or should i say, curious series of action. i think, the author is very talented in telling excitement in characters' psych within some bound of subtlety.

The art in this is seriously so cool. It looks like some really hip josei. That and the surprisingly realistic depiction of teenage female interaction (as in they actually look and act their age, not like 8-year olds with D-cups) make me have hope for the future of ecchi if Kishi sticks around a while longer.
