Eromanga Sensei
Eromanga Sensei

I'm not entirely sure I should admit to watching this. It is dodgy on so many levels. This anime follows the exploits of Masamune Izumi, a student who writes vaguely porny light novels. He needs lewd pictures for these novels, and works with the eponymous "Eromanga Sensei", a shut-in who is obsessed with the erotic form. And also might just be his sister.

Sure. Whatever you say, tiny perv

Which is where the creepy factor kicks into overdrive. Now, to be fair, she's not technically his sister. She just happens to be the girl that his parent's adopted while they were both children, who calls him big brother and he looks after. Not weird at all.

Stop pulling that face, sarky editor

Despite his (forbidden) love for his sister, he manages to acquire a range of girls who are fond of him. For various reasons, including they like what he writes and possibly just because they can beat his sales figures. They have various approaches to the wooing process.

(And she's probably pulling that face again)

Though admittedly, some of them are a bit less obvious than others

It's actually really funny. The scenarios it comes up with are silly, and the Girl and I have spent a lot of time going "What." Many terrible things happen in it, and they are wonderful. And cringe-worthy. It's on Crunchyroll. It's free. Go try it.

Recommended.
