My Balls (Ore Tama) is a hilarious Mature, Ecchi, Romantic, Comedy with one of the most absurd plots I've come across in a non-H manga. Think 40 Days & 40 Nights through the mind of a perverted mangaka; where a being, not of this world, is accidentally sealed in a poor virgin's balls. Now the next time he ejaculates, within the current month, marks the end of the world. Can the whole of mankind be save through the abstinence of one man? It is only by reading this manga that you'll be able to find the answer, but in the process of reading you willdiscover one absurdly funny story. Comedy is what it's all about and with a title like My Balls, you can assume that it'll be full off adult humour. Adult humour that will continuously push the boat, in providing comedy that is completely unheard of in manga, but on the other hand the story certainly isn't its strongest suite. With each chapter merely following the escapades of the protagonist (Kohta) and his companion (Elyse). This mainly comprises of a bunch of random events, mostly involving some demon spawn, attempting to release their Queen and these scenarios are loosely strung along to form a coherent story. Sure in most manga, having a weak storyline could prove detrimental to the plot but with a plot as absurd as "the Queen of Hell being sealed into a virgin's spunk cavern", then one can accept the lack of any in-depth, logical, story. The virgin in question, Kohta, is the poor sod that has to endure all the perversion being force onto him. Due to the nature of the story, most readers would expect him to be an unlikeable, generic, guy; but on the contrary. He is not useless at all, like the pathetic virgins you typically find in ecchi, rom/coms and that's what makes him so damn funny to watch. His female companions may have personalities that follow the most generic of tropes, but they do offer just a lil something special that will make even their predictable actions seem amusing. To complete the cast are a number of other-worldly beings that have very little to do with any character development and are just there to serve the plot. The artwork is just as good in serving that plot; especially in its portrayal of ecchi scenes and near pornographic sex acts. It is simple, yet very effective. The panels are also well organised and even with a lot of them, on a single page, it never gets messy... unless it's trying to be. Overall My Balls is one of the funniest things I've ever read and by far the funniest, perverted manga ever created... and I've read a lot of those. However, with all its unadulterated humour, some can easily be turned off by how perverted it gets. For the guys & girls who donβt mind numerous reverse rape situations; will end up rolling on the floor laughing at the adult humour and in turn, be shocked by what this manga & its characters are capable of doing. Every chapter will provide something new to laugh about. It's a shame it had somewhat of a weak ending. *Be warned, there's A LOT of sexual content.*
After a night of drunken revelry, 19-year-old Kouta Satou decides to relieve himself near a seemingly secluded temple. Meanwhile, an angel is attempting to seal the queen of the underworld into a holy ball with his bow. Unfortunately, he misfires, trapping her instead inside of Kouta's unwitting balls. The angel departs, leaving Kouta a dire warning: if he fails to resist ejaculating before the end of the month, the queen will be released and mark the end of the world. For the lustful Kouta, such a commitment is easier said than done; on top of using any means necessary to resist temptation, he must also guard himself from advances made by Elyse, a lesser devil who would resort to drastic measures to free her queen. In Oretama, the fate of the entire world rests upon the improbability of one man's chastity. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Note: There are five specials: Extra Ball 1-3 and Special Ball 1 & 2 are coupled with the tankoubon releases.
One of those few ecchi manga that deserves to be read not just for its fanservice, but for its characters. Condensed verion: Why you may pick this up: -Fanservice -Elyse -Interactions between characters -Elyse X Kohta -Interesting setup for plotWhy you may skip this: -Heavy Fanservice (Arguable) -Weak ending Long version: Story-7: There is actually a story, and it is OK, if somewhat lacking in the ending. MC is (another) useless bum who is hopeless in life. Then, in a freak accident, the Queen of terror becomes sealed inside his... balls. To prevent the end of days, he shall not come. Yes, the story is as weird as the title makes it out. As the story goes on, demons (who all happen to be female, for some reason, and yet this isn't a harem) attempt to seduce MC in an effort to make him release his load and finally have demonkind rule the world. No, you are not going to get an epic 'hero defeats the demon lord and saves the world' plotline from a title like 'My balls', but the story is serviceable, and gives many opportunities for ecchi scenes. Nothing special, if not creative, but it isn't bad either. Characters-9: This is where, in my honest opinion, the manga really shines. We have the MC, Kohta Satou, the useless bum who destroys the world if he ejaculates, and one of the lesser demons sent to make him do just that, Elyse*. Kohta has a crush on his colleague, Minayo, but being the useless bum he is, he does not have the balls(?) to ask her out. As the story goes on, we see the MC try to hold it in as hordes of demon girls use an array of fetishes to get MC to blow his load and release their queen, while Elyse slowly falls in love with MC, and Kohta begins to make his move on Minayo. The chemistry between Kohta and Elyse is some of the best I have seen in ecchi romances. I genuinely felt the sparks fly between them, and I found myself rooting for Elyse even as Kohta progresses further with Minayo. Its one of the few reasons you may want to pick up this series. Well, that and maybe the ecchi. *just going to rant about Elyse here. She is one of the most cutest, beloved, and most expressive tsundere pettanko i have seen in a long time. Every time she is with Kohta, there is never a dull moment, from scolding each other, to dates, to her crying when she sees her beloved Kohta enjoying sex with someone else and being unable to do anything about it. Ok, rant end, on with the review. Art-8: its an ecchi series, so the art is usually good, by default. All the curves are there in the right places, and all the facial expressions complements the action going on. Characters are easily told apart, since all the different demons look like ecchi cosplayers. Enjoyment-9: I came for the story, and stayed for the characters. I was expecting a typical harem romcom where MC is so dense it is unforgivable, and I will then default to admiring the ecchi that this manga is priding itself on. What I got was an MC that becomes more likeable and becomes aware of the girls' feelings, a lead female that is just downright enjoyable (see rant), and good fanservice in between. Overall-8: If you want some quality fanservice with characters that are likeable, pick this up if you can get past the fanservice. The story is simple but doesn't commit any grave sins, but lets be honest, you are here for the ecchi and characters, not the story. IF you cannot handle fanservice, skip this, but only after reading through the first few chapters. It is entertaining, enjoyable and has memorable characters let down by an ending that doesn't do the romance between Elyse and Kohta enough justice.
I was forced to read this manga or else spoilers for various anime would be have been dropped, but having said this... I really enjoyed this manga. It is the first one I have completed and although there is a lot of... (for lack of a better term) fan-service(??) once you get past that it really is enjoyable. The plot at first sounds absurd but it really is funny and had me quite interested throughout - I really enjoyed the characters as all of them were extremely likeable and hilarious. Visually it is great (but have little point of reference) and I generally enjoyed thisread overall. Definitely recommend for those who enjoy a good laugh!
stacy please premature ejaculation is a completely normal problem i mean have you ever read the manga my balls where the protagonist gets satan sealed inside his nutsack i'm just like him! no i don't actually have satan sealed in my family jewels it's just like in the manga i'm surrounded by all these nearly naked sexy women all the time so i can't help if i fire off prematurely like a bad hitman it's not my fault is it really that ridiculous to believe that much like the stunning and prodigious kouta satou i'd have issues controlling my young man's erratic behaviour due to the factthat i spend all day every day avoiding increasingly ridiculous and titillating events with ridiculously sexy women? no, no, i swear it's all true! it's almost as if forces from beyond our plane of existence and constantly conspiring to make me turn my underwear into a jackson pollock painting! in fact, that may be all that happens to me for 41 chapters straight! chapters? are you cottoning on to the fact that this lazy metaphor is getting played out and i haven't actually had my prostate destroyed by the most ridiculous no nut november challenge ever commited to any medium, visual or otherwise? needless to say i did not get laid that night
Oretama, also known as Ore Tama, or My Balls (the much preferred name for an English review), is an interesting supernatural romcom about a guy whose balls (specifically his right testicle) become a vessel for sealing a demon queen. If the demon queen is set free in the next month, the world will be destroyed. And so begins the quest of many devils to cause the main guy, Kouta Satou, to blow a load so the demon queen is freed. Story: 5 That's the story. I kid you not. My Balls contains slapstick humour based on the premise of a man trying his hardest to not cum fora month. The main obstacles to his success are his crush: a coworker in the supermarket he works at, and a lesser devil trying to seduce him and free the queen. Along the way you have different residents of hell trying to get him to cum. The premise gets old very quickly... or so you'd think. Every chapter ended with me thinking "almost time to drop" but the next chapter always had some crazy outlandish idea. Honestly the conclusion was a bit weak. That's my main qualm with story. Art: 8 I mean, the art does what it needs to do. Not perfect per se. It works Or that could just be that everything i've read till now has immunized me to the horrors depicted in this manga Character: 8 The characters are pretty nice. Funny. The coworker crush and the lesser devil are both well made. You've got a timid pure girl with a nympho drunk personality. A tsundere pettanko lesser devil loli with hints of yandere in her. Enjoyment: 100000000000000000000 Reading My Balls was an orgasmic experience of joy and humour. It's the best and worst reading decision I've made. My Balls features such strange comedy and deus ex machina that it gets a bit annoying at points, but is an enjoying ride overall. Overall an 8. TL;DR: THis is hilarious. Premise gets old but never boring. Funny read Be warned there is a shit ton of fetish fanservice A lot of it
