Sometimes, when looking over the weekly manga releases, I see a book so insane and a premise so daft that morbid curiosity overtakes me and I end up with... well, this book, as it turns out.
Chiaki is her school’s prince - an amazing archery prodigy, beloved by all. She’s also got a massive hang-up for female breasts (I’d say boobs, but I swear this book says it on nearly every page at least once) and, specifically, those of the cool and aloof Harumi.
This sets the stage for a whole volume of Harumi’s massive melons in the clutches of Chiaki’s animated appendages. I’m honestly not one for large illustrated breasts, but if you are then you will be as tickled pink as Harumi. It’s utterly ridiculous.
But... this is actually really well-written for what it is (and just generally competent, honestly). A lot of it is presented in 4-koma gag format, punctuated by Harumi’s endless exasperation with how deep Chiaki’s fetish for her chest region goes. Her reactions are largely the same each time, but the characterization really sells them.
Chiaki is less interesting, but still pretty fun - beyond her insane levels of mammary-specific lust, the symptoms that manifest if she doesn’t get her daily fix are ludicrous and make for a particularly hilarious later chapter. Please appreciate how much effort it took to avoid describing it as melon-choly.
The art is quite clean (more than the subject matter!) and the best visual gag in this volume comes when the girls go shopping together and get... uh... “matching” support. You can tell that the author certainly didn’t have any problem getting into subject matter anyway.
There’s some definite yuri-baiting to this - Harumi would clearly like to be more than a pair of breasts to Chiaki, but it’s so far fairly innocuous. I’m hoping they dive into the backstory of how this arrangement came about - Harumi goes to a different school (conveniently that allows for her to have a much cooler and more appropriately emo uniform), so there’s got to be a chapter there.
Honestly, I don’t know what’s more ridiculous - that this goofy as hell premise got another volume, or that I’m planning to pick it up, but this was surprisingly more than the sum of its... yeah.
