Japanese Title: 可愛ければ変態でも好きになってくれますか？
On the prowl for new manga to check out, the volume cover artwork for this one instantly caught my eye for two reasons – cute, petite blonde girl in a state of undress and another girl with a kinky glint in her eye brandishing a pet collar and leash. Intruiged, I read on.
There are two volumes of the Kawaiikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka manga out so far, and both have been fan-translated into English. It’s actually a manga adaptation of a light novel series that has been ongoing for a fair while (I thought the artwork looked familiar, turns out I’ve been seeing the LN art here and there). Having caught up with it I can safely say those two reasons are still pretty much the main reason to keep reading.
The long dark-haired girl is a complete masochist who wants to be dominated as someone’s pet, while the short-haired blonde girl is the opposite – total sadist in search of someone to enslave. And of course, for whatever reason, they both have eyes for the everyday highschool boy MC. Aligning with my own tastes, I’m quite the fan of dark haired girl and her submissive advances and kind of repulsed by the other girls attitude. But blondie is good to look at so the fanservice scenes are appreciated.
There’s a few other twists to the story – MC has a secret admirer he’s trying to identify who confessed by sending him a pair of her panties – and other heroines with their own strange perversions are starting to adorn the series. Rather than a straight-up ecchi series, the perversity is more played up for laughs so it’s a fairly entertaining read with good artwork. Just don’t expect touching romance or compelling characters.
The manga knows its target audience – promo artwork and store bonuses really sell the girls.
I wonder if the novel would be a good read… In any case it seems to be a popular title so I wouldn’t be shocked to see it get an anime adaptation at some point.
