Ero manga sensei

From the series Ero Manga Sensei comes this great 1/6-scale statue of Izumi Sagiri

The “new sibling romantic comedy” revolves around Masamune Izumi, a light novel author in high school. Masamune’s little sister is Sagiri, a shut-in girl who hasn’t left her room for an entire year. She even forces her brother to make and bring her meals when she stomps the floor. Masamune wants his sister to leave her room, because the two of them are each other’s only family. Masamune’s novel illustrator, pen name “Ero Manga Sensei”, draws extremely perverted drawings, and is very reliable. Masamune had never met his illustrator, and figured he was just a disgusting, perverted otaku. However, the truth is revealed… that his “Ero Manga Sensei” is his own younger sister! To add to the chaos that erupts between the siblings, a beautiful, female, best-selling shoujo manga creator becomes their rival!

In 2016, thanks to a website called Baka-Tsuki, I was able to read the english translated version of the Ero-Manga Sensei light novel up to the end of volume 4 (the anime covered up to the end of volume 3 so far). When I was done with volume 4, I joked to myself that Japan would probably animate this series.

However, even before Ero-Manga Sensei was aired, the show was being treated with caution. This was understandable. There were several reasons why Ero-Manga Sensei was treated with caution before being aired, and they were all related to the show’s predecessor.

I suppose the author Tsukasa learned something from his previous work, as this new work is refreshingly different from his old work. However, I am not sure what he learned, and I would love to ask him what it was. Because the show became an even better trash. Not only does Ero-Manga Sensei’s fan-service surpass that of Oreimo, but the new show’s female casts are mostly all…lolis.
