I liked this manga... I pretty much believe it is true, at least it sounds more realistic than some biographies out there, and I really hope there is a guy who got lucky like that...

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Also chapters 21 and 21.5 weirded me out a bit. It seems like Kansai is YOKO to me, but I suppose we will never know...

o mai gosh man just at the third chapter and I feel so tired already, there's just too many wooooords, for a manga let's lessen the inner talk, it's starting to feel like I'm reading a shoujo manga~ sigh...

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
So I skipped all te way to the second last chapter, an wat cha know, my thinking of "actually Molester and Kansai is much more compatible than Molester and Understanding", well this thinking of mine actually came true! Yea! I love it~ cause in chapter four molester and Kansai can happily chit chat together hehe sort of happily, now ain't that a sign of a happy couple? It sure is~! Well hehe didnt read the middle parts though but I love the ending since I kinda you can say predicted what should happen~ ok I'm just happy what I thought came true haha ^^ ok i'm lame, get it ==

i dont mind wordy manga, for example mind game manga like one outs with lots of explanation of the strategy or scify like 200+1 ya monogatari that heavily peppered the panels with scientific jargons. i love reading - but only if its useful or have meaning. but here, there is too much words that is thinner than air - its panels after panels of momentary thought and text-speak and it really tire me out to read such mundane conversations.

i understand though why the rating is very high as it seems 'realistic' and very true to the source material or message thread. but to me every medium have different kind of presentation and whats best for one is not good for another. thus the inane conversations, if directly read in message board might be thrilling, but here they just deadened natural flow of a manga.

the characters, as it is taken from real life, have realistic quality to it with the mc reacting like normal horny young adult with a pretty good head on his shoulder. the girls are also good, so if you like good characterization, this manga will provide some for you.

the art is rough and unoriginal, but pretty and easily understandable. some people might not like the fact its just sketches but i think it lend a more 'realistic' feeling to it as if this is really hastily drawn by members of 2ch to celebrate the couple victory.

all in all, i like the mc, the plot is quite plodding, and you better off skipping some inane text. but it is a pretty good romance.

I really do love it biggrin
But to say, it is a true story? Well, to quote 4chan's /b/:

I guess no one will truly know, but I would surely like it to be true biggrin

This is one of the funniest things I've read in awhile. And to think something of this level actually happened? That just makes everything all the better. No wonder everything had a realistic feel to it. ha ha ha.

The fact that this story is based on a true story is just... something incredible.

No wonder why Molester Man gets frequent recommendations from veteran readers. This series is so... well, so great and unbelievably 'real' (and you know, by the word 'real', I do mean it). Mr Molester is just so innocent (when it comes to 'relationships' of course). The developments between girls and him are fast, but not insanely fast.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
someone before me stated the girls fell in love so fast. I agree. But one can 'like', well more than 'like' but not as deep as 'love', someone that fast, I guess. And the crush can be developed into love.

Molester Man is hilarious if you read many manga's (see below). Personally I laughed crying when I first saw the A#e waiter. I mean,... LOL. It's not the most touching story ever, or the most beautiful story ever. But... it really is oh so frickin beautiful and emotional just to think that this is what actually happens. (I wouldn't believe if there were more unbelievable stuffs though)

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Molester is honest, more like blunt. He said he wanted to had smex with these. He had desire and such. There wouldn't be a part like this in usual 'beautiful' dramas. He admitted he was selfish. He was cool as a real man.

Also, I'm here to confirm that things like that can actually happen. I, too, was once mistaken for a molester, but at that time the girl just ran away and I didn't follow (why would I? lol)

The artist did a good job pleasing manga fans. I found a lot of parodies funny, and I still couldn't understand some of them, presumably because I've never read the references. Anyway, I like the style of drawing. Although this series could probably be better if drawn with inks, this pencil style gives the story appropriate bright tone well.

Life rarely goes easy on you. The ending is hardly ever happy...

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
but sometimes it really is!

TL;DR: 'This guy's love is so earnest and... real'

 Good, but not stellar

After seeing so many recommendations and the stellar ratings, I started reading this with extremely high expectations. Maybe because I'm a girl though, it didn't live up to my expectations.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
One of the moments I found most interesting in this series was when Mr. Molester solved his misunderstanding with Mr. Glasses. At that moment I had high hopes for Mr. Molester to make his very first guy friend in real life, which could result in all sorts of interesting interactions and discussions beyond what he got on 2ch. With that, the series would have been about how a shut-in eventually acquires a well-rounded life with both male and girl friends as well as a girlfriend.

Instead, this boy who never had friends, let alone a girlfriend, somehow found himself surrounded by Only girls, all of which eventually get over initial misconceptions and quickly befriend him. This process was quite enjoyable, until the other romance "routes" were added. At this point the series started feeling like a dating sim (not helped by the "choice A or B?" conversation formats). Despite the well-written moments (especially from Mr. Molestor's POV), the girls fall so easily and quickly in love with someone they only meet from time to time that I can't help but think that they must be Really horny or desperate for a boyfriend. This reinforced the feeling that they're mere dating sim targets (challenging ones, but ones to be "won"). I mean, they started as total strangers, but in 2 months 2 girls were ready to sleep with him?


I can see why guys would love this. This series gives shut-in guys a lot of hope, and the main male character is easy to empathize with, with many realistic (?) flaws portrayed in sympathetic light. However, the girls were not written on the same level: they were overall "girls who guys would like to date", but conveniently seemed to lack any decent guys in their life. And in the end, they felt like routes to be played through, albeit challenging ones, rather than real-life girls (who would likely need a lot longer to grow so intimate with a stranger otaku).

You'll experience a whole rainbow - no, make that a DOUBLE rainbow - of emotions while reading this. The art, while not the best, is still unique and meshes with the silly-awesomeness of this story. The characters aren't very developed, but the development while they go through the story is enough to bear without suffocating. The MC is very relatable to many guys. Yes, I mean you. And you. And me. 'A' I will seriously bend you over and hit you in the arse with a giant metal spoon if you skip this because it seems a little weird. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed. 10/10. Good job 2ch, and thanks, YOKO.

Would have to say the art reminds me of Onani Master Kurosawa. And from there, i also learned not to underestimate a manga because of the drawing. For those voters who rates it 10, big chances you're an otaku too huh? biggrin I give it 10 so i'm one of you. And though it's quite different, i can certainly feel the main character. In short, epic.
