It's a decent manga that has an interesting concept but is too short to be anything great. The story is unique but due to how short it is, it doesn't give us a true ending. Twin sisters fall in love with the same man who happens to be an erotic mangaka. The sisters agree to model for him and the harem lifestyle begins quite fast. I like the younger sister the best, but I can see the appeal of both sisters. This manga does take a serious turn later down the road but it's remedied by its humor and final scenes. The best element ofthis manga is the artwork which looked like Tonari no Kawshiwagi-san. There's a prefect blend of cute and erotic elements woven in between comedic scenes. It's not surprising that the artist behind this manga is a woman.
Ono Matori is a high school student who is secretly a successful erotic manga author. He has recently found new inspiration for his work from his neighbors and classmates, the Hikasayama twins, Haruna and Wakana. Both Haruna, the cheerful and active half, and Wakana, the cool and collected one, both fall in love with Matori. He unwittingly agrees to date both of them both for research purposes and personal interest. Their love triangle will help Matori with his erotic manga storyline but how will his life change back in the real world? (Source: MangaHelpers)
Haruwaka is an erotastic story. The word erotastic that I borrow from the main character, describes how ero it is as well as fantastic. The fantastic point comes from its illustration tho'. Haruwaka tells about the twin sisters who fall in love and date the same guy. Haru and Waka are happily date Ono even if it becomes threesome relationship. Haru is more girly and childish while Waka is collected and mature enough. Ono himself is the ero mangaka who dedicates his life to draw 2D manga and everything about 2D, 'til he dates Haru & Waka. The "dating" itself is the reason why everything getscomplicated afterwards. Technically, the twin sisters are "dating" Ono. But, Ono himself views them as his material for eromanga (which actually this-kind-of-just-being-inspiration-for-manga develops into real feelings). The lewd scenes are plenty, but it's not without reason. The character leads to erotic scenes for manga material and it's also funny moments. It's not baseless ecchi-ness. I still admit that the phase or the development of the story sometimes dull or too fast. They are likely to engage in something Ono asks in a sudden even if it's something which is new to them. Of course, it's not without exact cause. They do things because spending time with Ono is their top priority and being chosen as the only one is their goal. The art is really nice. The char design looks so yummy. The boy looks kewl with masculine attribute on his face. Not too much exposed like the female face, but it's enough I think. As for characterization, Waka has straightforward trait which is really I'm into, while Haru is a bit resistant with something she's not agree with, but because of love and challenge she is willing to cross the border. I came up with an idea that the ending will not be too good for me, but yeah it's happened as predicted. If you like an open ending where you can wander everywhere with your mind to decide what kind of ending suits you the best, try this one. Many events involved here as it's real dating and interesting like by the time they go out for summer vacation, the homeroom too, hanabi, cultural festival at school, karaoke dating, and so on. (RATE: 7)
