Shuzo Oshimi

Stupid fun. Very very stupid, mind you, but still fun.

As a child Noboru was traumatized by a cousin who sexually molested him with her chest, and now he is barely able to talk to women and absolutely panic-stricken at the sight of large breasts. So of course he accidentally discovers a message parlor filled with large-breasted succubi with a secret plan to take over the world and finds himself on the run from the usually naked demons.

One of the few people Noboru can trust is the flat-chested masseuse upon whom he has a crush because her little breasts are the only ones that are not terrifying to him. True love?

So much nudity! A ridiculous amount! A hilarious amount! A stupid amount!

I think we can safely classify this as a guilty pleasure.
