Originally serialized in Comics X-Eros #38 from the February 2016 installment, Arousal is a forty-page story from creator E-musu Aki, who has several other works on the service. I’ve read some of his stuff before, some of it recently with Summer Rental, and that got me to go and dig back into their work a bit more. While I continue to adore their artwork as there’s a lot to like here, there’s also plenty in terms of story and actual design work that just makes me uncomfortable. My preferences when it comes to hentai tends to trend more towards full adult characters, or at least college level, so things like this tend to not work as well for me. That said, fans of this particular area of henta will find a lot to like.
The premise is fairly standard in that we get the usual group of boys that are pretty much all hormones and energy at this stage and they’re looking to catch a glimpse of what they’re after. We see that they’ve figured out in the gym bathrooms that there’s a peephole into the girls room and it’s every little delight that they want. Of course, they’re crude enough to masturbate right then and there to what they’re seeing, though with how it plays out it looks like they’re going to climax over each other more than anything else. For Yoshida, he’s just taken with a girl named Yui and seeing her use the bathroom just pushes him even further. So when she ends up not feeling well through some close moments during gym class, he ends up taking her to the nurse’s office and things just spiral from there.
Though he’s forceful here, Yui ends up really liking the initial round of pleasure that the two engage in without full on penetration and that gets her later on to make a bigger play to seduce Yoshida. This has its own strengths but it gets pretty uncomfortable with her deciding that he’s too big for her (and man, she is tiny), but they end up going through with it anyway. This makes for some mildly graphic hymen breaking material and pain with requests to stop, or at least modulate what he’s doing. But, as you can imagine, it doesn’t take long for them to really find a rhythm and work it as she gets more and more into it and they find new places to go to fool around. This even has them being listened in on by a couple of his friends, and one of hers, which makes for a fun viewing party as they’re all upfront about it before that devolves into its own spot of fun for everyone.
In Summary
The Arousal story is one that plays well to the intended audience but I know that it’s not me. I’ve had mixed luck when it comes to E-musu Aki’s work as I really like his designs for the curves and expressiveness, as well as the general flow of the stories as they work well. With forty pages to work with here, it’s not rushed and that has its own payoff. But the story itself is one that just doesn’t work well for me and has me craving something a bit more mature to hunt after. So, back to the tags for me and exploration of the copious library that Fakku is building.
