I like it specifically because it's so self-referential and unafraid to be offensive may not be everybody's cup of tea. I find the play on the long drawn out attack names in Shonen Manga especially humorous.

From the description of this series, it sounds like it's one of those macabre fan service titles.

I'd have preferred Heaven's Lost Property be the localized title, but I enjoyed the volume for what it was all the same. The parody and self-references are all top-notch, though the humour is a bit over the top at times.

It's probably unintentional, but I really like how some of the debut manga reviews aren't up right after release. This series had slipped under my radar and now I don't have to wait 3 months for the second volume to come out! (Just a one month wait now.)

Story doesn't seem too bad, I might check it out.

I'm watching Dusk Maiden of Amnesia and hearing Brittney Karbowski's voice as I type this.

The idea that the MC gets arrested made me laugh. Characters in ecchi manga should probably be arrested more often.

Not sure what to think about this manga, but as I get most of my manga from libraries, I doubt I'll see this one.

but its definitely fun fanservice. and if heavens lost property can get an anime version i can easily see this series getting a TV or at least and OVA version. and if it follows the manga to the letter,it might just give dxd a run for its money in popularity when it comes to ecchi/fanservice series.

I read some of this series earlier, and it is batsh!t crazy. There are fighting techniques in this that borderline on Bo-Bobo levels ("Fist of the preparation for the fact that most of the cute girls you see in dating games are actually boys" or something like that). Its good for a series that doesn't take itself seriously (AT ALL), but can feel just plain exploitative at times.
