Japanese Title: おしおきエクスキュート

Whenever you go to Japan and poke your head into a bookstore you’re always starkly reminded of the fact that we only get to see the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the manga that get released over there. The manga that foreign fans hear about tend to be the ones that a fan-translator just happens to pick up and stick with.

This manga is a good example of that. It’s pretty popular in Japan with 5 volumes sold so far, yet I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else ever. My keen-eyed girlfriend spotted the cover when we were last in Akiba and thought I’d like it. Boy was she right!

The word Oshioki means punishment and the premise is based around light S&M/bondage tones with the following premise:

Shimizu Kenta’s high school life changed when he was seduced by Aoi Riku as a joke who then proceeded to bully him mercilessly. However, a messenger from hell named Beatrice came and gave him a choker so that he can dominate sinful women as an executor.

At this point you’re probably either sold or completely uninterested, which might be why it never took off outside of Japan (although Nana to Kaoru was popular and focuses a lot more on the kinky themes). Anyway, if the premise intrigues you it’s well worth keeping your eye out for this one. You won’t be disappointed in the ecchi department, with girls being put in all kinds of compromising positions.

The artwork is really moe, the fanservice is shameless and the story/characters is easily digestible trash (in a good way).

I grabbed 3 volumes in Japan, so here’s some dodgy photos (as usual, self-censored but the real deal bares all):

The first 5 chapters have been translated, but seems to have stalled..hopefully someone will pick it back up again. In the mean time I’m going to keep trying to drum up support!
