Enough MILF’s for even the pickiest connoisseur, and some schoolgirls thrown in for good measure.

What They Say
Collects nine short stories from the author of Relish. Corner Onani Nurse – a nurse rubs herself against a bedpost in her patient’s room, but gets caught. Primal – a lonely salaryman and porn enthusiast discovers his kind neighbor is actually a former AV idol, and lives out his fantasy.
Packaging:
The well-endowed girls on both the front and back covers exemplify the body type the author focuses on, busty! The large format of this Icarus release lends itself to the frenetic sex scenes, and the print quality remains one of the best seen by any North American publisher. Extras consist of the usual note from the author. A little different are the addition of the artist’s sketches and a description of how he creates a rough draft for okay by the editor before a final draft is drawn. It is a nice addition.
Artwork:
Demure, surprised, happy, or ecstatic, the author does an excellent job capturing the characters emotions. This level of detail isn’t always found in eromanga, and it adds to the quality of the stories by making it easier for the reader to become engrossed in the story. The girls are all very busty (yet proportional), with medium length hair and big eyes. Considering most of the characters are established (or older, if you prefer) women, it fits for them to all be busty. The male characters receive as much attention to detail as the females, which is nice because it nullifies the disjointed feeling some eromanga have when the men receive a minimalistic approach. Some of the outdoor sex scenes are good and kinky, but most of the sex is pretty vanilla.
Text/Translation:
The translation reads well and honorifics are prevalent. The Japanese SFX remains but lacks an English translation. The dialogue reads smoothly and lacks misspellings or the odd ‘missing word’ syndrome.
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
This book has nine stories spanning a multitude of scenarios from schoolgirl to housewife.
‘Corner Onani Nurse’ is a funny story about a nurse that masturbates next to her patients while they sleep. Seems she is so busy with work that she never has any time for herself. Will a kind patient be able to help her with that? The nurse fetish seems to be a favorite of the author as his ‘Relish’ book (also released by Icarus) also has a nurse story.
‘How I Met My Friend’s Mom’ has a fitting title for this Mrs. Robinson themed tale of kink. The kid thinks he might be more than his friend’s mom can handle, but she proves to be open to just about anything. MILF and schoolgirl fetishes collide in this story when the mom wears her school uniform out in public with no underwear. It doesn’t take much for people to see the treats hiding under her skirt.
Maybe my favorite story is ‘Primal’. An otaku with a super hot neighbor spends his nights fantasizing about his favorite porn star. Even though that porn star is actually his neighbor, he has no delusions that she would ever bless him with her sexual attention. Still, he is the only person in his complex that talks to her and she is really nice. Maybe she will deflower this thirty-something-year-old virgin?
Hands down, the kinkiest story is ‘Riding Together’. While riding the train to work, this guy accidentally grabs another passenger’s breasts. No, it really was an accident. One thing leads to another, and before they know it, they are rubbing and teasing each other on the train ride to work every day. Not only is this hot because of the chance they could get caught, but they never reveal their names. Hot!
In Summary
This is a great eromanga, with plenty of humor and some nice variation in the scenarios. While there is a school scene, this book mostly breaks away from that fetish to focus on older women and the situations they could find themselves in. A mom getting it on with her kids tutor, the housewife and her brother-in-law, the nurse and her patient, the otaku, and the porn star, and a kinky Mrs. Robinson scenario, just to name a few.
My only complaint would be how similar most the girls look. However, it was probably intentional since the theme is older women. Not a big problem as the girls are all attractive, I just prefer a little more variety. Same on the sex front, it is all fairly vanilla. Regardless, ‘Obedient One’ is still a sexy and entertaining release by the same author of ‘Relish’.
