It's er, not good I agree, but it's really entertaining for some odd reason. The concept...hasn't been done before, and there's potential for cheesy yet endearing character development which may make this series actually worthwhile.

Also the original Japanese title is much more harmless-sounding to our gaijin ears: "Oretama".

You have no idea how funny this looks to me. Maybe I just have a wierd sence of humor. I dont like hentai, and I generaly stay away from sexual content but..... Anime hyper Come on! Theres a demon living in his testicle?! HILARITY. I think it would almost be worth reading just for the level of absudity! Almost.

That sounds freaking hysterical!!! I don't really read hentai, but I will if it seems this funny. Please tell me it's actually funny and that no one is taking it seriously.

Okay, now that the link has been vastly improved I will say that this looks funny and interesting at the same time now. That summary is just whack.

I remember posting a thread about this series a ways back when the first chapter was just released through scanlations. Got a few moderators heated. Laughing

I only stumbled upon it because the same group was doing Vagabond, so suffice to say I was taken aback by the premise. Taking into account that it runs in the same magazine as Futari Ecchi, I think plenty of its male readers take some real enjoyment from the monthly installments.

I found a scanlation of the first chapter (the only scanlation I've ever read, actually Shocked ) and yes, it's every bit as awful as you think it would be.


I wouldn't quite say it's that bad. If you can sit back and enjoy perverted humor every now and then, it's enjoyable in a (very, extremely, horribly) twisted sense.

That and, well, I'd sooner consider Tough to be a candidate for the worst ever manga than My Balls.

Well that was an interesting read, thank you to jgreen and KAtchan 15 for the information of this series. Weird, but not hentai. To me, it would be a waste of my time and money to try and find this series, it's way too up there Shocked

Possibly, but if I remember correctly his penor only has sharp, pointy teeth. No face. And it's pretty scary looking when it gnashes its teeth; it looks like some kind of ferocious Dick-a-saurus. Must be pretty hard for him to pee... Shocked
Shocked teeth? his thing has teeth?!?that's Horrifying! I want to see it though...and Anime hyper haha Dick-a-saurus.!! I really want to read it though. It's so peculiar, such wild imagination the creator of that manga has.

Oh, god, the inhumanity of it all....

You're welcome. Wink
It [Oretama] wasn't as funny as I expected. It was ok [below average but tolerable to a certain extent]. Anime smile + sweatdrop I enjoyed it a bit.

What's sad is that with all the ridiculous hentai comedy manga I've seen around over the years, this strangely doesn't phase me. There's a demon in his dong...I've seen worse, which scares me, actually. Laughing


Question: How would that idea fly by the censorship laws in place? The "character' would spend what, 100% of the time in mosaic or covered up??

You don't see the demon. It's just accepted that it's there.

The series is...entertaining. Stupid, but entertaining.

Yes yah dooo Smile spoiler[Theres one scene where she appears to him in his dream so she can personaly give him a wet dream.]
And at one point in time, spoiler[it shows a chibi picture of her, with little sperms swiming around her, and she's saying "Ever since that day Iv been covered in your saved up sperm!" To which he replys, "Well... uh... that sucks to be you..."]
I found it to be signifigantly less funny then I had hoped. The above chibi dialoge was the only really funny thing in there, or at least the only one that succeded in making me laugh. I wont be reading more of this. >_>

Go for it. It's better than a lot of the shonen romance drivel that's so popular nowadays (I'm looking at you, Ichigo 100%!).

It still sucks, of course, but at least it's amusing.

It does suck, but it's amusing at the same time. Like at the end of the first chapter spoiler[when he realized he can't masturbate for a month, or else the Terror Queen will be released thus destroying the world. ]
