There's likely only 'two reasons' you might want to watch this, and it probably isn't for the story or characters. And that's okay. But thankfully, Manyuu Hikenchou does manage to fit likeable characters and a mostly engaging plot between it's other, main, bouncy draw. One thing that separates the show is how surprisingly good natured it is to the inhabitants of it's breast obsessed world. Instead of taking the cheap and lazy route of abusing characters for titillating pay off's, it takes time to let us learn about and even respect them. Although the main plot is too ludicrous to ever take fully seriously, Manyuu Hikenchou does explore manyaspects of boob culture that are reflective in our own society.

I know that sounds silly, but speaking for men everywhere, I've never really considered what women themselves think and feel about owning such bosoms in the first place.

The range of emotional and peer pressured strife that women have to endure was more than a little eye opening.

In fact, while the show starts and continues with many graphic scenes of toplessness, as it reaches conclusion, the frequency and detail of these fan service moments are severely toned down.

It's as if the creator, Hideki Yamada, wanted to remove the glamour and one dimensional status of these highly popular body parts and give them some respect and naturalness instead.

The show is far from perfect though, it drags in places and doesn't conclude some of the major conflicts it seemed poised to resolve.

It's an obvious ploy for a second season (which I'm all for) but i'd have preferred a completed arc rather than trying to stretch an already thin plotline even further still.

The voice acting, music and art are all top notch, and I found myself enjoying the show for a lot more reasons than the main two it promised.
