He ends a nice, horny, slightly-less immature guy. He starts off a nice, horny, immature guy. The MC does learn and grow over the course of the manga, but not nearly as much as he needs to. This includes the MC's brother, the MC's friends, and the few friends of the girls that appear. Basically every character who isn't one of the main 9 is annoying, and the manga is worse off for their presence. Then in the epilogue tries to make a joke out of the lack of a conclusive ending, which just feels insulting. The manga introduces unnecessary drama in the last 10 chapters, and then just stops without a conclusive ending. That being said, Hacchi Icchi is far from perfect: This is NOT 100 chapters of cock-blocking and "fainting from a nose bleed every time a girl smiles at him".The male lead is interested in sex, the girls are interested in sex, and they explore each other throughout the manga. Moderately aggressive male lead (who also isn't a jerk). In Chapter 1 you meet 8 girls and 1 boy, and then you take 100 chapters to get to know them. This isn't one of those manga that feels like it is necessary to keep adding new characters every couple chapters. The protagonist spends time with each girl individually, and each girl is a presented as a unique, easily identifiable, and somewhat fleshed out, person. So, compared to the expectations of the genre, here's what Hacchi Icchi does well:Ĭharacter development. Hacchi Icchi isn't those things, and was never going to be those things. If you want a grittier, more realistic vision of young people struggling with sex and relationships, find a good seinen. If you want an in-depth look at one couple and deep relationship building, go read a shoujo romance. I say this, because genre expectations are different. So, I'll be comparing it to other unabashed ecchi harem manga (To Love Ru, Love Hina, Nisekoi, Ai Yori Aoshi, etc.).
