Description
Two middle school swimming club students have problems on opposite ends of the spectrum: Toshihiko Ota is troubled by hairlessness and bullied by his peers, while Ayako Goto garners attention for being too hairy. One day Ayako approaches Toshihiko with a crazy request…will he shave her body hair for her?!
A perfect example of Oshimi’s unique blend of the sweet and the perverse, this is ultimately an innocent, charming love story.

It's cute. You can really feel their adolescences and insecurities, but it's encroached in the oddest premise. However, what says puberty more than body hair, first love, and self-awareness?

Main guy gets mercilessly bullied. He begins to help this hairy girl. He falls for her just to have her tell him that she likes the senpai guy, It sorta breaks him and she still expects him to shave her. She claims she will begin to love him as well if he continues to shave her. It's left open ended so you don't know if she does like him or not. I felt bad for the main guy.

The manga itself was interesting and had decent pacing, but the ending didn't tie up any of the loose ends. Something that annoyed me to no end when I read it, was the portrayal of the bullying of the main character. There was a teacher present when that boy

dragged him naked out of the locker
and there were absolutely no consequences for that guy (wtf?!).
I love OSHIMI Shuzo because I've never seen him produce a Standard Manga Story. This little on-shot is no exception. Through having similar embarrassing problems a girl and boy get closer, and the boy learns to stop being the usual Japanese manga boy who's afraid to touch girls. It's charming and fun to read, and it's creativity of subject foreshadows all this mangaka's other work, particularly the current hit "Aku no Hana"
Even though this has an usual premise, the heart of this manga is in the right place.
It is the first manga I read that deals with hairiness (or lack thereof). And it dealt with it in a semi-realistic manner (in terms of insecurity and such).
Mixed in with a quirky sense of humour, I really enjoyed this short manga!

I love the author because he comes up with the weirdest plot in his manga. The story is short so it's easy to finish. I like the premise of the story and that's about it. There's nothing that stands out for this manga. I didn't like the ending very much, but I suspected that it wouldn't be good anyways with the manga being so short.
