\nI would enjoy Kanan-sama wa Akumade Choroi<\/cite> more if I wasn’t continuously distracted by the unfeasable breasts of its protagonist:\n<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\nThe series’ original mangaka, Nonco, clearly comes from the “more breast is better breast” school of character design. It’s not just Kanan here being blessed with tits bigger than her head. There’s also her childhood maid first seen in the second episode, whose abundance is even greater, as well as the childhood friend of Kanan’s love interest, the female teacher of her love interest’s class, the bunny girls her father employs… It’s all a bit much, as seemingly every woman in this series sports a rack that would give its owner serious back problems in real life. I’m not a fan. Kanan’s design is cute except for those ridiculous tits. They look alright in a still image, but in motion they quickly become an irritation.\n<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\nYouji’s problem is that he’s just dull, his character design matching his personality. The gimmick of the series is that Kanan is trying to eat his soul, but got tricked into becoming his girlfriend after he misunderstood what she wanted from him. When she told him how she wanted to peel off his skin he thought she was talking about a blowjob. He enthusiastically agrees to it, which first puzzles Kanan and then flusters her immensely when she realises he’s talking about S-E-X. A solid setup but let down by Youji just not being enough of a pervert. It’s the sort of story that can only work with teenagerrs, despite Cy Catwell’s objections<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\n[…]I just don\u2019t get why this couldn\u2019t have been two adults and not two high schoolers. In fact, I think the \u201csexy\u201d nature of the Kanan\u2019s approach versus Youji\u2019s incredibly disarming eagerness to have sex (he wants to go to third base immediately) would have been genuinely enjoyable if say, Kanan, a thousand year old devil with a bust size to rival Ilulu\u2019s from Maid Dragon, were like\u2026 in her thirties and Youji the same. Or like, at least if they were in college.[…]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nYou cannot tell the kind of story Kanan-sama wa Akumade Choroi<\/cite> wants to tell with adults. Youij has to be the kind of horny, hormonal dumbass that only teenagers can be, unfiltered by adult experience to play off Kanan’s innocence and naivety, which again wouldn’t work if she was a thirty something office lady. That’s she’s “actually” a thousand year old devil doesn’t matter: functionally she’s a sheltered teenage girl. I do understand Cy feeling uncomfortable about the high school setting and the way Kanan and other female characters are used in fanservice, even though it’s rather mild (mostly breasts going ‘boing’ rather than e.g. the camera leering at her underpants).\n<\/p>\n

\nI can also understand why Draggle wished<\/a> it was “just a bit more trashy”, which brings me back to Youji. In the first three episodes he has been mostly passive, not been all that thirsty after that initial setup and it has been Kanan who has been providing the comedy. I maybe should’ve expected this from a bloke orientated romcom, but it does make it all slightly more tedious than it needed to be. The introduction of the omnivorous maid in episode two, who unlike her mistress has no problems seducing anyone and anything, was a good step forward. Just a pity she was even more boobylicious than Kanan…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
