When the say smut they mean smut o_O but anyway, im just suprised she isnt pregnant by now, I mean... they do it EVERY chapter except for like 3... and i just dont see how she can just forgive her rapists and act like it never happened the next day just like that!

Pretty typical plot and characters. Jelous type boyfriend and stupid, weak female lead. Not much in the way of character development but.... GREAT SMUT! If you like smut, especially 'rape' scenes, then this is the manga for you!

I'd just like to say that I don't believe that SMUT = DUMBASSES. People keep saying "It's smut...so this, this, and this. So you should know better." But this particular manga is not inclusive of the entire genre. Sorry, but it's just not. Because I've read plenty of smut in both English and mainly Japanese that doesn't consist of rape, a dumb heroine (Seri's not that bright...), and has traces of an actual plot. "Traces" being the operative word here...

Much like jptranslator_girl said, summaries can be misleading. And plenty of smut series' start off one way, then goes off into a completely different direction less than halfway through . Some suck and some don't. Not all smut is the same.

I'm not downing the people who liked this manga, because your taste is your own and you have your reasons for liking what you like. Honestly, I really would recommend giving this series a try. You might like it, but then again you might not. I love reading smut, and obviously sex doesn't bother me, but I didn't like this at all; for various reasons....which have all been stated by various users.

This series is chalk full of non-consensual sex between the "heroine" and some random guy, and then make up sex between the "heroine" and her actual boyfriend almost immediately afterwards. It's pretty silly, redundant, and repetitive. So many people had their hands on this chick that it was just ridiculous.

P.S. This probably isn't even worth mentioning, but I've only seen this much rape and/or attempted rape in hentai. Scary, I know.

My true rating would be a 0 / 10.0, if possible.

1. Don't read it if you don't like the summary- it says clearly that there is lots of sex. "Oh, it had too much sex." What did you expect from smut?!
2. Manga is for entertainment, not literature. "It wasn't realistic at all!" DUDE. It's fiction! It's not like it had a theme to make people aware of rape and protection-- it's a thought-up plot line.
3. Plot line. The idea of karate catches someone's eyes, but the real moral in the story is about being in true love; you only like sex from the one you love. Obviously, only someone who has experienced simple sex and love sex would understand that, so that is why the mangaka portrayed a girl experiencing all the sex. It'd be ridiculous to have a girl "in love" if she'd only experienced it with one guy-- you have to see what's there to offer to determine whether or not you like what you have!
4. Romance. Manga about cute puppy love only happen to naive pre-teens or in fiction. Yes, this manga is indeed fiction and chances of these events happening to someone are very low. However, the EMOTIONS expressed are much more similar to girls in real life.
5. Rape. Just because she knows karate, that doesn't mean she can get rapists off of her. SHE'S A GIRL. It'd be more weird if it were some shrimpy dude without muscles trying to rape her. What's more important than the fact that she couldn't physically push them off was the fact that her body became aroused. That was the whole point of it.

So all in all, you don't determine how good a manga is based on the events, rather the REASON the mangaka chose those events. What also bugs me, in some cases, is when people say that you'll only enjoy it if you like sex. That is hentai. I respect people who don't see the art in smut manga, and I respect those who do.


I rate this manga a 7/10. I DO NOT recommend for people who want simple, cute stories with lots of comedy. Neither do I recommend it for people who only like more violent, intense, tragedy or drama manga. I recommend it for people who are in between. The people who like things more real but not as intense.

Ok I don't get why everyone is being so harsh with their critiques. It's not like the description didn't tell you what to expect. And I honestly don't find this that bad. Sure there are a lot of things that I don't like (the art; I'm not really a big fan) or I find don't make any sense (why do all these guys "want" her, and the need for revenge). But besides that, it's not God awful! The revenge thing I find absolutely ridiculous. Especially with Sakura Io. Ugh!! Whatever.
Everyone kept commenting on what a jerk Tamaki is. I thought he was kinda cute (no I'm not a masochist).. Yea he was a big "H", but he had some really cute moments as well. Obviously he really loved Seri no matter what. And it has to be some incredible power of love for you to keep loving someone after all "that mess" !! Seri was a bit stupid (Minami sensei has a habit of drawing stupid girls) but she wasn't a bad character. The only characters I despised were Takari and his dad (despicable people!!) and Io. It's not that bad. If you like Minami sensei give it a try.

I know what to expect while reading manga that is categorized as "smut" but I was hoping since Seri could fight, she would at least be able to defend herself. Why do all weak female leads feel sorry for the guys who try to rape them/ rape them or molest them in one way or another.

Well this is...shit. That's all there is to it. It's so fucking bad that I'm too embarrassed to have it in any of my lists - not even worth the read as a time-waster. All those who read this should do so either for whatever slivers of comedy can be found from reading such a pathetic, failed attempt at a real plot and dialogue, or so as to experience just how monumentally crap this manga (I hate to consider that this was actually published as one) truly is.
I have personally always considered this mangaka to be the embodiment of FAIL, having unfortunately come across several of her other works - some of which are, even more unfortunately, considered popular for reasons I will never understand. However, imo this has to be the worst...since I cant imagine how any series could be worse.
Not even worth the rating, but since I'm feeling generous 1/10 (which fyi is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than it deserves).

NB/ This is, so far, the only rare exception to my MU rules whereby I not only believe that the lowest possible rating is justified but that any higher ratings have been provided by individuals who are retarded due to heavy inbreeding and/or those who themselves dream of being raped repeatedly on several different occasions and of only having relationships with people who treat them as though they are nothing more than mere cumbuckets.

You like mindless sex scenes, then this is for you. Other than that there is no real story. Dumb characters. And the oneshot at the end with the kid...wow.

you know....it's not the rape scenes that make me hate this...nor is it the lame non-existent characters, nor is it the lack of genre and not even the totally horrible story line.....it's the total and utter lack of COMMON SENSE
