tl;dr: A manga with good albeit perverted humor and an amusing albeit insane cast that it attempts to give character and relationship development to but fails because of how rushed it is. This manga is one about a world where all perverted entertainment, humor, and even information is heavily censored. Under such circumstances, a group of high school students known as SOX fight back. As such, this manga itself has a lot of perverted content, though it’s in the form of a lot of humor and innuendo and not actual nudity or anything like that. And this humor is pretty solid all the way through ifyou like that type of humor, especially the final arc that showed you can have a lot of variety even while sticking to just dirty jokes. The overarching story is about fighting censorship, and it does a decent job at developing points centered around that as well, though in a pretty heavy handed manner that will likely not really appeal to anyone that doesn’t already agree to the point being made. The cast overall is also really amusing with the characters being likable just because of how hilarious and crazy they are. There is definitely some character and relationship development as well, though it’s heavily lacking.

To expand on that point, I would first like to compare this manga to the anime. This manga adapts the first 11 episodes of the anime in its first two volumes, with the last episode of the anime not being adapted at all. These first two volumes is where all the characters, their circumstances, and their initial relationships are introduced and begin to get fleshed out. The pacing on the anime in terms of plot was fine, so 11 episodes worth of content in two volumes is clearly too much, and as a result the manga felt incredibly rushed. Still, in terms of characters it was mostly basic introduction stuff that’s easy enough to follow along even if it is rushed, so I didn’t think the pacing itself was too much of an issue, though that could just be due to already having watched the anime. The third and fourth volume adapt a single arc from beyond the anime. There are characters introduced during this arc including one that’ll likely be pretty important in the future, but it also felt like there was a much larger emphasis being given to character development and relationship development in the character’s already introduced which was somewhat lacking before this. The problem is that it was still really rushed, just as rushed as the first two volumes, and it didn’t feel like any of this development got fleshed out properly.

Because of that, the ending to the manga didn’t really get to do much beyond simply ending the arc. Anime and manga adaptations of light novels generally don’t finish the plot, but they usually do try to end in such a way that at least in terms of tone, atmosphere, and framing they give a sense of completeness, which the anime did with what I believe is anime original content in the last episode. This manga didn’t manage to do that at all and thus the ending felt pretty lackluster. I also thought that in terms of art the manga wasn’t that great, with the style not fitting that well with the visual humor and quality also not being that great.
