Devil Ecstasy

Devil Ecstasy

A manga about the brothel Devil Ecstasy that’s run by succubi who consume the life essence of men and kill them.

We’ve talked about this manga on an old episode.

This book is not good. It’s probably one of the worst things Shuzo Oshimi has ever done. It makes light of the main character’s experience as a child being molested. It’s filled with pretty excessive sexual content. This was also the first manga we read for Manga Machinations that Darfox and Seamus absolutely hated.

However I still find some enjoyment in the innocent romance of a loser guy and a flat chested succubus. The ridiculous fear of giant breasts is entertaining enough and I really enjoy the impotent side character Kageo.

It’s only worth reading to see how far Shuzo Oshimi has come as a manga artist but still a guilty pleasure pick for me.
