O Maidens in Your Savage Season

O Maidens in Your Savage Season

A manga about 5 high school girls of a literature club who become conscience about sex.

We discussed this on a recent episode.

This series is kind of a mixed bag for me. I like that it explores the youthful sexual awakening through the eyes of female protagonists. However a lot of these explorations lead to extremely dramatic moments, which the author Mari Okada is known for. I would’ve preferred if the series took a more thoughtful approach to sexual exploration like Scum’s Wish did, instead of using it to create drama for drama’s sake. I did think Nao Emoto‘s expressive artwork was impressive.

It’s available in English from Kodansha Comics.
