Vanilla Essence

by Yamatogawa

Boyfriend and girlfriend engage in a dramatic bike race where the winner takes all (with benefits), while others cool down in the pool they're supposed to be cleaning for their club duties. For other after school engagements for those not into sports, there's activities for those that like to use their video skills to voyeuristic extremes, stargazing clubs to explore lovely constellations, and even a few field trips that may lead to impromptu anatomy sessions!

Reviews

[Javier Pavía · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me daba mucha vergüenza puntuar este manga, pero entonces he pensado que, si nos da vergüenza a todos, al final nadie le va a poner estrellitas al pobre. Por otra parte, lleva dos meses entre los más vendidos, así que creo que nos da vergu a todos. Pero mira, no todo va a ser alta literatura, ¿no?

Primera sorpresa: el dibujo es muy bueno. El diseño de personajes podría ser de un manga escolar normal (que a lo mejor es super típico, pero era mi primer hentai y me esperaba cosas raras). Segunda sorpresa: no es todo "acción", cada escena tiene su introducción, que aunque sean secuencias sin más trama que preparar el momento, alguna es hasta graciosa. Tercera sorpresa: no hay ni tentáculos ni cosas de esas. Son escenas de sexo normal entre personas que consienten.

Así que nada: es lo que es. Da lo que promete. No engaña. La edición es buena e incluye bocetos y dibujos preparatorios del autor.

Yamatogawa’s art in this books is top tier and almost all of the scenarios are great. Definitely worth the read if you have the chance.

E siamo arrivati all'ultimo volume di Yamatogawa, che si è rivelato essere il mio autore hentai preferito.

Mi piace un sacco il modo in cui disegna i corpi femminili, che sono sempre piuttosto reali. E le storie si fanno leggere, tutto sommato! ^__^

Estuvo bastante bien, es una recopilación de historias, y hay algunos muy ricos, pero en trama, no es la gran cosa, excepto en una o dos historias
A nivell artístic es magnific, i alguns en concret són encara més superiors

Desconozco si la tapa de la edición española salió así censurada o sólo la censuraron para redes.
