High School Girls' Waists

After going through my monthly porn addiction cycle as I forget and relive all the horrors of JAV again, I finally find myself coming back to hentai and a recommendation that someone had sent me a while back, Joshikousei no Koshitsuki. I think it's a pretty basic hentai, sort of like a Big Mac because you can’t really hate it and earns its high score here handedly. The show is basically an anthology of the different illicit activities going on in various clubs at a high school and while there isn’t much that’s fucked up to talk about, it was just a fun ride thatincluded some minor twists and turns which spiced the experience to a notable degree. At a glance, it seems pretty average but when you take a moment to appreciate each storyline, you are actually presented with a smorgasbord of quality shorts that take on specific hentai and anime tropes while executing each to a high degree. If you are a vanilla enthusiast then you will be absolutely spoiled for choice. Story and Characters: 7.5 Recommended: At least watch the Photography Club episode 10/10 The Volleyball Club (two episodes, 1 & 5) This is the only two-episode arc of the show, with the least deviation from the norm. It is a comfy series where there isn’t much that would be off-putting to the average viewer. The story follows a member of the volleyball team failing to perform under pressure, leading to her asking her coach for some “special training” which leads to him having relations with her while she wears a bikini to “overcome her shyness”. Her younger sister catches them in the act and watches from afar and in turn she approaches the coach herself for that special training. Overall it’s a pretty tame story where we just have the coach fucking some students and some toys coming into play with the end of episode one being a personal favorite of mine as the older of the two sisters gets involved. The coach just comes off as the lewd older gent, not much malice from my perspective, and the girls were just your quintessential JK (joshikousei) archetypes with a decent arc of them basically coming out of their shells. The Tennis Club This episode was probably one of the weirder episodes in my opinion, with open intercourse being practiced as the norm. It felt like a departure from the point of being a taboo activity in such a puritan environment such as a school, with the winners of the male tennis club being allowed to have their way with any member of the female tennis club and just doing them right out there in public. It just felt odd, I felt like one of the other club members just standing around watching these people having it out in the school gym and just providing some idle commentary. I would’ve preferred a private verison, especially with the “reverse-nomination” couple, so that they could reveal a deeper part of their characterization to each other in that privacy given the opportunity that the situation provided them with. The character pairings were pretty good among the three couples, covering a wide spectrum that isn’t all too common in my opinion. Firstly, we had the reverse-nomination couple who were as vanilla as ice cream with their complete lack of experience, a wholesome confession and figuring out things together, (odd that your first time would be in front of all your classmates, but I digress) obviously we welcome our vanilla overlords whenever they choose to grace us. Next we had a dommy mommy insulting her victim’s dick which is always a nice treat to fill that masochistic need in my life. Third was the least common, the virgin girl and the expert chad, as the pairing is often peppered with overtones of rape and coercion but this didn’t have that layer of grime to it which felt what diet soft drink advertising tries to achieve (all the flavour without all the guilt). Overall the mix of character pairing was pretty great, however it is all for nought when they are put into this really weird setting. The Photography Club This is my favorite out of all the club “activities” for this entire series. Ubukata is the true best girl and you cannot fight me on this, because at least for this hentai, this is the only relationship where I can see there are feasible feelings. Torn apart by the fact that her senpai is leaving she commits to leaving him with as much fanservice as she desires and damn does it satisfy, from the varied array of cosplay to the determination of confessing to her senpai breaking through her uncertain demeanor it is just the best that this series has to offer. There is an earnest love that Ubukata exudes which is unparalleled. Also although most of the girls look the same in this hentai there is just something about her, perhaps just her mannerisms, that makes her stand head and shoulders above the competition. While I realize I didn’t mention much about the story itself, the story IS Ubukata as we are experiencing her grabbing control of her love life which she was quite passive in her approach expecting the winds of change to sweep through and incite some change, instead accepting the onus to progress with her life. So the fact that we can visualize her internal monologue without a word being spoken is what I consider a hallmark of a great character story. I would HIGHLY recommend this episode if you’re only going to watch one episode. The Billiards Club This episode is basically what I wanted out of the tennis club episode to a certain extent. We have three girls who go through their separate journeys into convincing some horny dudes to join their club. My favorite of the three is the “girl who taunts guys for being virgins but is actually inexperienced herself” as she grows to admit that she hasn’t had much experience either and they slowly pick up the pace and discover each other. While this is a common trope, the execution is always what differentiates it from other hentai/doujin examples so for this hentai, with the pacing and dialogue they absolutely deliver. The other two girls follow a similar evaluation, with the “yeah im just horny” girl and the “kuudere’s first time special” being common tropes as well, it came down to the execution and they all met my expectations. Weaving in each plot line into a cohesive experience also helped in strengthening each other as the variety held my interest throughout. The Drama Club This one is alright, two girls want to learn how to be meek so they do a character studying by fucking a dude. They end up being waaaay too assertive and they just end up riding him like a machine and learn absolutely nothing. Overall - meh. Girls were cute and at the end, the DP bit was *chef’s kiss* but they did that in the volleyball episode so it feels a bit cheap. Overall the stories and characters aren’t exactly mind blowing but they took well-established tropes and executed them as well as they could which met my expectations and then some. The variation of storylines and character archetypes from episode to episode was welcome and complemented the anthological structure of the series. Art and Animation: 9 I’ve already said this time and time again, new hentai art just kinda blows, so I don’t really mind the “older” art style as long as it is objectively well-made. They never held on shots for too long, they had a varied array of outfits between the characters, they played with switching between screen tones and environmental background plates between scenes. It just checks all the boxes in terms of animation execution for me, I never felt like they skimped out and my only major complaint is just the saminess of the female character designs. Yet overall the quality is so top-tier in my opinion that I would still be able to argue against my own critique that the show is just about an amalgamation of popular high school girl tropes and this theme of the Joshikousei aims for us to look at these characters as less like “main characters” and more like your everyday high school girl which the lack of wild character designs compliments exceedingly well. Variation : 7.5 I think despite how tame this show is, the tags on display are much more varied than you’d think at a glance. We had voyeurism, exhibistionists, a bunch of toys in play, random group orgies, wholesome one-on-one stuff, cosplay and double-fillings so it was in the most mundane sense quite exploratory and it's just another great hentai to recommend to weeblets. Enjoyment: 9 Overall, good times were had, some of the episodes like the tennis one were a bit weird so I feel like they could’ve trimmed the fat a bit but at this point I’m nitpicking. Even if you’re really bored of vanilla, the character interactions and stories are a bit more varied than what you’d typically expect so I think you should at least give it a try and if you really want some vanilla than this definitely one to watch. Now off to watch Kuro Gal, oh boy the girl looks so cute in that, I bet it's just a normal vanilla hentai!
