Impression: This is a 4koma manga about a perverted high school beauty whose aim is to get 100 fuck buddies while she’s there. Her schoolmates consider her to be one of those girls who has her way with guys and can get laid whenever she wants to but in reality she’s an inexperienced virgin who is overly(an understatement) eager when it comes to any topic of the sexual nature and despite having such an abnormal obsession about such matters, she’s too “maidenly” to follow through on her attempts and keeps messing things up with the average Joe she’s interested in. A refreshingly hilarious and over the top series about a girl who actively tries to land in her catch only to keep having something get in the way of actually fornicating with the guy who actually holds mutual feelings towards her. Though there are some rather risqué topics and events in the manga, the drawings themselves are rarely ever explicit and the erotic content always gets played for laugh making this surprisingly safe for work. It’s basically on the same level as one of those dirty jokes you throw around with your colleagues though I can’t really say the same of the anime which shows the scenes in better detail and has the main character voiced by the super talented Tamura Yukari. Still, manga or anime, B Gata H Kei is a great series to follow.
