On a whim the other night I read through the chapters that are currently translated for the manga Nande Koko ni Sensei Ga!? (Why the hell are you here, Teacher!?). I don’t usually get into the female teacher thing but it had a high rating and is set to get an anime adaptation next year so I thought there must be something to it.
Having delved into it I can see what that something is .. ecchi. This is an honest, unapologetic lewdfest with the notions of comedy and character development carefully woven around a core of panties, tits, ass and all the other good stuff. The author also touches on some mild fetishistic stuff like bondage and peeing, but not enough to kill the fun for those not into it.
Good ecchi requires great artwork, and the quality definitely passes the test here. It’s not on the same god tier as something like To Love Ru, but the characters are beautiful and the artist draws nudity with the tender loving care that’s needed.
The plot is where it really falls down. Being largely episodic – a series of “unfortunate” and ludicrous encounters there’s little space for an overarching plot or even real romantic development. So it’s kind of hard to get into it beyond the visuals.

(censored for this blog but the manga shows nipples)
That said, this will make a great fanservice anime and I’m now quite looking forward to it. The key visual is quite fetching; I don’t think they could have translated the manga designs to anime much better..
