I hope this doesn't end happily like what happened between Nami and Kana (their fighting over Sora's dick was the most ridiculous thing in the series).
*ARMOR PIERCING SLAP!*
Wow. That's like entering
Apartment 213, 924 North 25th Street, Milwaukee and commenting on how the drapes don't match the carpet. That, being the most ridiculous thing you find.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
I see. In matters such as this, it is best to bite one's lip. My usual saying is "To each his or her own", after all. However, I must correct a few minor infractions that might otherwise deceive the populous into believing that Aki-Sora has a plot worthy of the term 'drama'. No, I'm mistaken. That sentence should have ended at the word "plot" as such a thing cannot be found in this mindless garbage.
See? There can't be a singular most "ridiculous thing" as the entirety of this manga is a ridiculous thing in and of itself.
Sora cries after -
any- mildly traumatic experience, and by "mildly traumatic" I mean any-fucking-thing he does other than his usual maid-work. Even completely consensual sexual encounters with Aki brings this little faggot to drain his crocodile tears, which in turn, makes his frequent bawling a thing of comedy, not drama.
Actually, why isn't there a comedy tag on this series? Granted, it makes me laugh in a way that has nothing to do with humor or wit, but nonetheless, it splits my sides in a way few comedy titles can.
I bet that little prick's only real regret is that he's losing all his holes. He just lost hole Kana and hole Nami in some kind of demented sex showdown that, in Sora's defense, had rather unclear conditions for victory. Hole mom's seemingly uninterested and hole Runa never actually fucks him anyway. He's still got hole Alice, but it's questionable whether or not she and the gayly prancing midget who attends her are a figment of Sora's imagination, so that hole's somewhat unreliable.
And now he's about to lose his most reliable hole of all! OH NOES!!!!!!!! What's a little DICK GIRL TO DO!?
Not.
This is becoming a bit rhetoric, but there is NO PLOT in Aki Sora. None. There's something that vaguely resembles a plot, but that's not really a story so much as an excuse used to give Sora an opportunity to empty his bottomless prostate; flippantly thrusting his grubby little penis into anything that has a pulse.
That is -NOT- a plot. It's an EXCUSE. It's something that's usually found in porn flicks to initiate action.
There is a man who delivered a pizza.
There is a woman who ordered the pizza.
There is a pizza.
Watch them fornicate.
PROFIT!
I'm inventing a word that I hope will catch on, or better yet, be included in the tags: Light-saber Hentai.
Anyway, the randomly introduced father is portrayed as an asshole. When doing menial tasks, he's still drawn like an asshole and he's only scheming things an asshole would scheme. Such a force-fed "plot" needs a force-fed villain, and this dropped-from-the-sky "father" that anyone reading this trash would assume was dead, fits the bill magnificently.
As a sidenote, I for one assumed the father was Sora, who unwittingly breached time and space through the sheer force of will that guides his penis to all those impossible holes he's so fond of. This theory is, of course, heavily flawed.
No, what makes it flawed isn't the time-bending penis or the paradox of being your own biological father. Rather, the assumption that Sora could possibly impregnate someone is absurd. Then again, if he's able to load up his sisters (or the other holes that thoughtlessly line up to ride him) with gallons of semen without a single worry of the inevitable nine-month death-sentence he magically avoids, perhaps one can assume he knows, instinctively, the cycles of a woman that no man could ever fully comprehend.
That, or else his affinity for holes is akin to say... Shirou, of Fate/stay night's affinity for swords, and said affinity allows Sora access to any hole he desires, even wormholes...
...
...But that's a rant for another time. The problem at hand is the blatantly-an-asshole father that'll never achieve his goals because his very purpose is only to give this "story" a false sense of relevance. It's obvious. It's so obvious that you've already pointed out how obvious it is even without me explaining it. How can something so blindingly obvious be dramatic?
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
It can't.
For God's sake, the title is AKI-SORA. Someone needs to tell Itosugi Masahiro to quit taking naming advice from
Seo Kouji.
Suzuka? Boy, I wonder who the protagonist is gonna end up with? Truly a mystery.
Or, someone should tell her if she wants to make a hentai, then make one. This has all the makings of your standard issue hentai, where the main protagonist fucks the universe without a care in the world, as seemingly every female member of the human race lines up to play with his prick. Truthfully, I think the only real issue I have with this title is that it's -not- a hentai. If it was, I could at least dismiss the protagonist's actions, waving it off as a testament to the genre.
Mind you, I'm by no means insinuating that a hentai can't have a plot. There are plenty of age-restricted materiel with excellent plots out there, but there's way more that, as I said before, have no plot, just an excuse to move from vagina to vagina. For instance, the difference between
this eroge about fucking your sister, and
this one. If Aki-Sora were a hentai, it'd be the latter... or a horribly, HORRIBLY botched fusion-dance between the two.
No, not because there's sex in every chapter - that's not and never was the issue I have. The problem is that like a rubbish H-game, the sex, or more specifically, the relationships Sora forged through sex are meaningless. It's just there without offering any challenge to Sora's psyche. Encounter after encounter through the course of the "story", he learns nothing, gains nothing through his promiscuity, but more importantly, he loses nothing. He only satisfies his unquenchable lust, and then has the gull to say he understands love, claiming Aki to be special.
No self reflection. No remorse. No guilt. No reason. No consequence. Nothing.
One could argue that the events of chapter 6 have warped his concept of fidelity. One would be wrong.
Before the troll-fest of chapter 6, what of chapter 4? Now, granted, the difference in terms of betrayal are immense, however both are still betrayal. Yet, next chapter, not a single panel of guilt, no matter how minor, crosses his mind as he gleefully plows his sister. Maybe he doesn't think of Aki as someone special? Mmm, but by chapter three, he's already surrendered to the fact that Aki is someone important to him, even if he's still mulling over the taboo aspect. Then maybe it's his unresolved feelings about the taboo relationship that make him feel no betrayal took place? That's fine, but why isn't that mental battle in the "story"? Probably because it's NOT part of the "story". So what are we left with? It must be that Sora doesn't understand fidelity.
That's wrong too. He does understand the concept; he simply ignores it.
Chapter 12, how I love thee. I hope the butt-fucking INSANE editor that allowed his author to waste forty pages on this crack-fueled retard-romp got fired immediately, but, putting those feelings to the side, in this chapter we see that Sora is unwilling to have sex with Alice. Why? Because he's afraid of contradicting what he believes is THEIR concept of fidelity, not his own. Essentially, the dialog consists of "What!? No! I can't do that!
But if Alice and Miharu are OK with it, then bend over an' let's get ta slappin'!" See? If his OWN belief was that sex should only be done between you and your significant other/the person you love, then he would never comply, you know, since he has Aki whom he presumably loves. Right?
Right.
Chapter 11. Same thing. He defensively shouts "She already has someone special!" to ward off the obligatory pool studs from hitting on Runa. As if the little shit understands the concept of "someone special." As another irrelevant sidenote, I can't believe this faggot's STILL trying to pull off lines like "Uwa...! I... I can feel them... against my back!" at this stage of the game. Didn't this dick-girl reject fuck about ten different girls in a God-damn orgy five chapters ago? And now he's flustered because a pair tits are on his back!? WHAT. THE. FUCK!? That's like running a marathon one week, then suddenly being unable to walk around the block the next week.
Ughh....
Whatever. Fuck Sora. Clearly he's only a one-dimensional wannabe hentai-hero and I could easily go on for pages on how he continually contradicts himself. Itosugi Masahiro could've replaced him with a blowup doll, nay, a
cucumber and I'd a been hard pressed to tell the difference.
Here's the real problem: What's Aki's point of view? What's her stance on the matter of fidelity? For a manga that claims to be "dramatic" and "mature" and seems to play on contrast, it sickens me that it failed to touch what could easily be it's most tragic and dramatic aspect. Some people want a "nice boat" end. I don't. But I certainly didn't expect it to outright ignore the issue entirely. Mentally, physically, and socially, the infidelity between Aki and Sora is completely ignored, and no character growth is derived from it.
And then he looks Aki in the eye and says he loves her.
What a joke.
I guess a one-dimensional hero deserves a one-dimensional heroine.
I might as well go play or watch something like 'Fault!!'. In the very least, it delivers completely irrational copulation between the protagonist and a boatload of irrelevant skanks, without the need to mask it's true intentions under the guise of a fake incest theme. It knows what it is, and it's not trying to fool me into thinking otherwise.
Hey, now that I'm thinking about it, I mentioned 'Fault!!" as a plot-less hentai out of pure coincidence, but really it has quite a bit in common with our plot-less light-saber hentai, Aki Sora.
In "Fault!!" our hero bangs his sister. Full stop; right out the gate. And just like Sora, our protag thinks of the ramifications a good two seconds before happily depositing his hefty slab of meat into her ham-wallet. Even more amazing? A female classmate confesses, she and the protag fuck (on the spot of course), his sister catches wind, and suddenly the protag finds himself fucking them both at the same time. Even MORE amazing? Later, said sister and female classmate start slicking together. Needless to say, the protag is an unfaithful cardboard cutout of a character, who's only redeeming feature is his hard dick, and the bimbos of the "story" ignore that fact and keep on' coming. And cumming.
But that's fine, because 'Fault!!' never made any claims to have a real deep meaning, other than being porn. That's it's purpose.
Also, these situations are by no means EXACTLY the same, but they're damn similar, and to anyone who's read or watched even a handful of actual hentai would be able to see the hentai cliches Aki-Sora borrows. A lot of other adult-but-not-hentai manga borrow hentai cliches too, so this isn't anything new or bad, but in general, cheating on such a grand scale will ALMOST ALWAYS be addressed in some form or fashion. The greater the scale the greater the consequence, be that consequence self reflection and reform, or straight-up getting caught. To ignore it, for me, is the forbidden H-cliche that needs to stay in H-manga.
And so, we've come full circle. I'll re-quote it to save anyone from scrolling up.

Do you see the delightful irony in this statement now? If not, that's to bad because it's -fucking hilarious-. The "MOST ridiculous" thing is what
I think this story was LACKING. *snirk* The "MOST ridiculous" thing was that SORA GOT CAUGHT AND IT WAS DEALT WITH. *HahhhAHHhaA* That's rich! The "MOST ridiculous" thing was that for the FIRST TIME in the series, the SEX HAD REAL MEANING. *hahhahHAH haH* Oh! But there's more! The reason you thought it RIDICULOUS?
*maniacal laughter*
BECAUSE THE PLEASURE COMPETITION IS FUCKING
TEXTBOOK BRAINLESS HENTAI!! AHHHH HAHAHAHHAHAH!! HELL, it's even RIDICULOUS by HENTAI standards!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! The most MEANINGFUL SEX was OVERSHADOWED BY HENTAI STUPIDITY! HAHAHAHHHAHHAAA!! And Kana COMPLETELY DISREGARDS that fact that SORA WAS FUCKING HIS SISTER, which is SUPPOSEDLY the theme of this INCIPIENT TRASH! AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! And, and you've been reading this THRASH as a "DEEP" and "MATURE" story!
NEWSFLASH! Deep and meaningful stories can N-E-V-E-R coexist with TWO GIRLS FUCKING A GUY FOR A WINNER!
Hey! Hey! You know WHAT ELSE is RIDICULOUS in the context of a "MATURE" and "DRAMATIC" "STORY"?
How 'bout "FUCK MY GIRLFRIEND" plots? How 'bout sex ultimatums issued with PAPER THIN TREATS?(I'm lookin' at YOU Runa) How 'bout "5 GALLON CREAM-PIES that MAKE NO BABIES"? How 'bout "FUCKING for HOURS yet the LAST loads as big as the FIRST"? How 'bout "let's cum at the same time!"... DURING A THREESOME? How 'bout EJACULATING with NO PHYSICAL INTERACTION with your penis, WHATSOEVER? How 'bout the fact that virtually EVERY ISSUE despite how mundane it may be is SOLVED WITH PENIS? Hate men? CURE IT WITH PENIS! Suffering from PTSD? PENIS! And when penis doesn't work? MOOOOAR PENIS! (I'm lookin' at YOU Kana and Nami) Why, that sound's like PORNOGRAPHY to me, sir! Very suspisious~
AND WHAT THE FUCK'S THE POINT OF A MEGANEKKO WITHOUT HER MEGANE!? ITOSUGI MASAHIRO: If you wanted to change Kana's look just to give the illusion that Sora's fucking someone different, THEN JUST MAKE HIM FUCK SOMEONE DIFFERENT. WHO THE HELL CARES AT THIS POINT!?
*regains sanity*
...Ahem.
Obviously there's more, but the point is made. For every H-manga cliche you draw upon, you must discard a portion of the plot, and certain cliches have greater prices. The cost of the main protagonist sticking his finger into all the pies without it being found out by the female lead is an expense that would break the budget of any title with a 'mature' or 'drama' tag on it.
Certainly, it has broken my threshold of disbelief.
Congratulations, Aki. You'll probably be forever unaware of how you've become infected with every STD the human race has to offer. Live your life in ignorance; you don't have long before the HIV progresses into AIDS.
TL;DR:
- Dick-girl(Sora) is crying because he lost all his holes.
- Sora is Sora's biological father because his penis can time travel and fabricate reality. This is possible because his penis defies the very logic of it's own existence, thereby refracting the bounds of 4 dimensional space into conforming to the 3rd dimension.
- The title of this manga needs a spoiler box.
- Three of the five category recommendations lead to hardcore Yaoi manga. Which begs the question: How did Sora escape chapter 6 without taking a dick in the ass?
- Aki-Sora would make more sense if it were a hentai.
TL;DR for the TL;DR:
- To enjoy Aki-Sora, read it as an H-manga, even though it's technically not.
- See the holes, fill them up. All day long you'll have good luck.
...
But, hey! To each his own! Yes, yes...to each his own... *devours own lip*
