I feel like I shouldn't like this story so much, since that's probably all a queerbaiting full of fanservice ... But ... Oh ... Girls being idiots and boobs ...( ̄ー ̄)
Original title: "Sekai de Ichiban Oppai ga Suki!" or "I Like Oppai Best in the World!"
The title is the synopsis. A high school girl recharges herself by groping, or massaging, the breasts of her friend. That happens, a lot in this volume. Yet, somehow, the perceived lewdness of the act of groping breasts does not deter their relationship to be unexpectedly pure and refreshing.
I have never read a yuri (girl love) manga that resonated or appealed to me in a basic level. We are mammals after all, and breast do provide us with comfort and security we associate to nurture and warmth. What am I saying? I've totally drank the Kool Aid. Whatever, give me more. This is a comforting read.
Sometimes you see a title of a manga and think "surely they don't really mean"... and then you open it up and start reading and you realize they actually did mean it... but with a twist.... First of all, the main protagonist addict is Chiaki, who is the coolest and most popular girl in school. The object of her focus is Harumi, a very ample student. The secondary twist here is that Chiaki has zero sexual attraction to Harumi's chest, and is only interested in the comfort of touching them. Other than that, this is exactly what you would think, or could at least accurately guess. My assumption is that it is headed in a yuri (or Girl's Love) direction. Not sure about reading more of this because of its content, and implications therein, but I might.
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.
There's no real storyline except for groping away (while the other girl doesn't seem to be 100% comfortable with it either) I heard volume 2 will be better... Also, I'm not a lesbian, my husband keeps buying this stuff for me.
Well that was a waste of my money. No story involved, no romance, just one girl feeling up another girl for no reason. Definatly not a series I will continue with.
When I received this I was surprised on how small it was, it's about the half the size of a standard Viz manga, probably the smallest manga that I've ever seen.
Anyway I picked this up because I thought it'd be one those outlandish comedies and it's not, the cover and title sum this up pretty well. It's just about groping boobs, nothing else really no character development or real story.
A girl needs boob time otherwise her brain doesn't function properly and this poor sap lets her feel her boobs, that's the premise. Throughout this they get more raunchy, starts with over the clothes and then you eventually get bare breasts, and nipples if anyone interesting in that.
I'm kind of grateful it was so small, otherwise this may have grated on me. It's an alright read, nothing spectacular.
Wanted to explore other mangas by Konbu Wakame, since I enjoyed her Jahy manga so much. There's really no plot here, just two girls groping and pretending like there's nothing lewd going on, it's all just wholesome stuff...
It's pretty light on the comedy, the recurring joke being that one girl treats the groping situation as standard quo while the other is there to exclaim how embarrassing and not normal it is. There seems to be some blossoming romance and themes about how the groper is not being straightforward with her feelings/insecurities, while the gropee is coming to terms with her body and liking herself.
I really wanted to like it, but it's just too basic/straightforward for my taste. Rounded up to 2 stars because Wakame's art is beautiful as always.
I found out about this Yuri manga through watching Sydsnap’s latest video on this today. I have to say I really liked the art; it was sweet, but I didn't like that there wasn't much of a plot to keep readers interested, and that it was all about a girl obsessing over her "friends" breasts. I understand the other girl gave consent to her friend to touch her chest but it’s just like it’s so cringy and creepy like all she cares about is looks than the friend she’s involved with???
In conclusion this is more of a fetish to those who want to waste time so if you love this sort of thing, knock yourself out and get reading it if it makes you happy!
Sometimes you see a title so absurd and intriguing, you HAVE to see what it's about. That's what happened to me with this series. While Breasts Are My Favorite Things in teh World! turned out to be more wholesome than I expected, it irked me frequently because it's mostly nothing but queerbaiting. Cute art, but I'll save my money and read it from a friend or someone who already owns it.
I'm pretty new to "Yuri" manga. But the title of this series immediately got my attention. The author certainly seemed to appreciate breasts as much as I do. And I always thought that it was unfortunate that after breast feeding as an infant, most people don't get to enjoy breasts until many years later as an adult. That being said, I am the perfect person to market this series too. Since I'm an adult now, and a big breast conosiuer.
At first, it felt a bit pervy reading volume one. Since the characters are teenagers. Maybe the Japanese culture is more liberal with regard to age. I know that in the Hispanic culture, girls are considered young women at age 15. And these characters seemed to be 15 to 17.
The art is pretty nice. And the action effects are hilarious: "momi" (fondle) & "nun" (rub). The story moves along well too. I read it cover to cover in a few minutes. And anything that gets me reading and off of Social Media for a little while, is more than welcome. The story feels very lesbian at times. And there is a sense of queer baiting. But there are also some very satisfying erotic moments for heterosexual breast lovers as myself.
Very solid slice of life with yuri sexual undertones. I’m a man who can’t get enough breasts in my life so I’ve been eyeing this series for awhile due to the MC’s adoration of my favorite thing. Very slow and methodical story, I’d like to see how they met and then see what happens as they get older. I’m curious how this could evolve into more. I’d like more nudity in the next one, but glad we got slight glimpses of nipple instead of none like I imagined. I could’ve used more artistic details and different perspectives of the characters visually.
Not a series for intense sexual stuff, but has good “soft-core” stuff and I think that’s more of the MCs jive.
“Harumi’s breasts are still the best!”, “and that line is still the worst!” Lol
I’ll be trying the next one to feel it out more, could possibly like this one just because I can relate to the MC so much.
There is a hint of a yuri/sapphic romance in this story, but it's nothing more than a hint. The vast majority of the story is just Chiaki talking about her obsession and pushing Harumi through more and more objectification.
Harumi is the only interesting character, but the story leaves her seriously underdeveloped. We get the basic idea of why she associates with Chiaki, but the author spends so much time on fan service that the story comes off as seriously one dimensional.
I'll likely skip future volumes and wait for something with more depth.
I had my eye on this manga for a while now and thought it would be perfect to start Pride Month with. I cannot wait to read this series further, it was cute, funny, adorable, you just want these two together (or at least for the boob-obsessed one to see the feelings of the other), and I love how the girl was seriously obsessed to the point that she lost the will to live when she didn't get to touch/see them for a while, haha.
Chiaki Ichihara have an obsession: Breasts! They are her favourite things in the world! Without them, she's stressed out. Luckily she's got Hana Harumi; with her perfectly sized and shaped bust.
The early chapters in this book were kind of repetitive. But it's a great read. Very simple silly premise, but it's loads of fun.
Is this a pervy book? Yes, very much so. But that makes the comedy so much more fun. Chiaki can't function with boobs, and Hana has a generous rack.
The manga style is also in four-koma, which makes the humor and pacing so much faster. I'm intrigued for the next volume, cause I wanna see if Chiaki will return Hana's feelings.
I had this one for a while and I finally decided to give it a go because I was challenged to share a book I had with a weird title, so I guess this is it. 😄
What to say about this one?
The theme is interesting for the lack of a better word but the plot and the narrative is simply atrocious. I had to read these chapters in small doses mixed with other reading or I would die of boredom.
I still want to see where this is going but the plot is just too hollow.
A very cute slow burn yuri manga about a breast obsessed main character. I'm curious to see if it leads anywhere or if any of the two characters have any realisations
