This volume was part of my manga reading vlog on YouTube, where I give more of my impressions on this book. Feel free to subscribe to my channel.
I've already read an e-book of this volume, and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to start collecting the series in print.
However, I almost regretted moving to the print version. The first chapter had inconsistent font sizes in the word balloon, and it made it hard to read. In the electronic version, all I had to do was expand the image with a simple gesture on the screen. At least, it achieved a measure of consistency with the succeeding chapters so no worries for me.

I'm not going to lie. This book is not for everybody; you either like it or not. However, this reader is definitely in the "like" camp.
This book blurs the line between two mature genres of manga, ecchi and hentai, because of its gratuitous nudity and sex acts. However, this is mitigated by the the author's skill in illustrating luminous depictions of the female form. Also, it actually has a story. There is a mystery underlying in the main character's appearance in a alternate world where there are no men, and girls are cursed to die before reaching adulthood.
I'm here for exploring the circumstances of this parallel world and solving the mystery of the curse. I'd be lying if I'll say I do not enjoy the wanton nudity, but it is part and parcel of this story.

I'm not sure whether to laugh, scream, or sadly shake my head at the state of sex education/misunderstanding of basic female sexual function. (Unless the author played that last bit up and was giggling the whole time, in which case, bravo!)
Definitely not my book, but I can't say I didn't get some entertainment out of it.

"Whoa... So this is what it's like... Genitals...! It's so wet I can barely see it."
****
Non-pornographic erotic manga are almost always very funny to me, and Parallel Paradise is no exception (okay, actual H is often funny to me as well). This manga reads like a parody of the overdone "isekai" branch of the fantasy genre: Yota is pushed out of a window at school by some weird teru teru bozu-looking monster, wakes up in a fantasy land where human males haven't existed in 3000 years, and has to lay low because all the girls have been cursed to cum their pants when they touch a boy. Oh, and . Classic stuff, here.
I can definitely see this work being polarizing, and between its rating here and many of the reviews it looks like I'm not wrong (disregarding that many reviews are by people who seem to either not like manga and/or hate the Japanese). I am not too familiar with Lynn Okamoto; I've seen the first few minutes of the episode of Elfen Lied many times in ninth grade, but was always turned off by the remainder, at least back in my "manime" years, and when I did get more into moé and fanservice I would have considered the series to be "too edgy." I read a little bit of Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou, I think in freshman year of college, which has art by a different person, but which is otherwise not unlike what we have here; namely, I remember the main girl cumming all over her chair or something, or at least the main guy could smell her cunt-juice during class, something like that. Point is, Okamoto seems averse to family-friendly concepts. Anyone who might consider reading this should look up its author beforehand to get a sense of what to expect (at least, I always do this), so anyone who reads this and takes offense would necessarily out themselves as an idiot.
If I were to write a "log line" for this series, it would be "Yota eats sloppy pussy in a strange fantasy world." Such a premise is humorous enough to keep me reading for a little longer. I cannot imagine this manga will last to One Piece lengths, so it should be able to propel itself reasonably well. Beyond the ecchi, there lingers a few mysteries: why is Yota here? What's in the castle? Who are the Karu? What does the jealous god want? Decent reason to read on, to uncover these secrets.
Props to all the leotards in this series. I've only recently started to appreciate such things a lot (the honor goes to BB in Fate/Grand Order, whom I sometimes use as Support for quests, lol).
Props also to Genius, the talking bird god who grants Yota some exposition. He reminds me of Punpun.

I thought this was absolutely hilarious, however I really hope the author has a much better idea of how the female body functions in real life cause if not…WHEW 😅 there were also some parts that were just very strange that I’m hoping were just translation issues (looking at you “protein smell”)
If you like silly/spicy manga you’d probably enjoy this one

Absolutely dreadful in almost every way. If you want to know what a comic written by a hormonal 12 year old boy that needs serious therapy would be like, here it is.

It was a interesting read. Well done and thought out premise and theme. I kinda dislike the art tbh… it has a older fuzzier look/feel, hard to put my finger on it but it shows that this was originally made in 2017. The whole reason for Yota getting isekaied is kinda unique and makes me curious to keep going, but the art just seems meh imo, like I don’t like the character designs I think; seems too childish and not unique or distinguishable enough (also imo needs more bigger/older women)

Small spoilers may be here.
Ok, I have a bunch of these listed on my Goodreads, I have no shame in what I read, but an explanation of how I feel about this series is definitely something I want to put out there. I enjoyed the Elfen Lied anime forever ago and checked this out on a whim, as it is the same creator.
The set up of the story is that there is a mysterious, alternate reality (fantasy) where women are dying off when they reach a certain age (18 to 20ish, can’t recall 100%). There are only women, no men, other than monstrous races. A human male is sent to this reality through falling to his potential death in the real world. By (him) having sex with a woman in this new reality, they get a ring mark around their neck, and they are saved from their death age expiration.
All non sexual scenes are pretty cool. Some scenes are humorous that play upon the fact that this is a sexualized manga (it’s basically hentai which I honestly was not expecting when I picked it up). As more world building is done there are some cool places, interesting monsters, and our “hero” finds himself back in his reality but each time he returns, he has less limbs and more damage to himself, only to go “back” again. Obviously there may be a limit to his travels and at a certain point it could be game over. That is a spoiler, but it makes the whole thing more interesting so I’m throwing it out there.
Ultimately, the completely oversexualized nature of this kills it’s value. The only thing that redeems it for me is if this is supposed to be a parody of isekai manga or other manga types? If so, I am not educated enough on the genre or author to say.It is completely hilarious to me how tons of anime/manga have absolute violence but don’t do sex scenes as say, a show on HBO would do them. An example would be the anime Future Diary. Small spoiler, but there is a sex scene in that anime, not overly done but it’s there.
The fact that this dude causes women to become mindless sex dolls just at a touch . . . gets very old. I do like the story enough to want to know what happens, but the hyper sexual stuff is arguably degrading as this dude holds all the power over them (the women). That’s ultimately what I can’t get past. I can’t blame anyone who reads this and thinks badly of it as some sort of objectification, but if someone else enjoys it, that’s fine. I’m all about people enjoying what they want unless it’s bringing harm to others.
This content would be much more tolerable even in its extreme fashion if it weren’t volume after volume after volume of it. Maybe the story expands later and it’s no longer “magic touch boy” getting whatever he wants, but I have to leave that criticism here. 2 1/2 stars. Remove my main gripes and this becomes a 3 to 3 1/2 star read.
