Summary: Yamada, first name withheld, is a 15-year-old girl who has just entered Takizawa High School. Easily considered exceptionally beautiful, she has only one problem with her own body, she thinks her vagina looks weird and is very self-conscious about it.
Upon entering high school, her dream was to have casual sex with 100 men but therein lies the problem, she believes an experienced partner will tease her about the way her vagina looks or simply the fact that she's a virgin. She stumbles upon the solution in the form of Kosuda Takashi, a fellow virgin, whom she believes will help ease the transition to more experienced partners.
There's only one small problem, Yamada doesn't know anything about sex or the ancient art of seduction, meaning her quest to conquer Kosuda will be a difficult one.
Thoughts: What the hell did I just watch? I'm kind of surprised that Netflix put this up on stream, although most of it is pretty harmless romcom. The final episode was a bit more..."edgey" . I guess that's why it's rated TV-MA.
The show starts off with Yamada trying to find 100 fuck buddies basically and turns into her finding her first love, romantic rival and apparently an arch enemy. It's almost identical to most other school life, romance comedies save for that one underlying factor.. Yamada doesn't want to fall in love, she just wants to have sex with 100 men.
Does this happen? Not even close. She's really not even a likable character for most of the series, she's just the snoddy, hot chick in school, showing small pieces of likableness here and there. I'm still not quite sure why Yamada was so popular, other then the fact she's hot. At least she's openly bitchy though, Kanejou is a fake nice, popular girl...
Oh well, I made it through the entire series which was actually quite the feat.. Of course that may have had something to do with the fact that I switched to watching it subbed on the computer, from having watched eight of the twelve episodes dubbed... it was a breath of fresh air to get the Japanese voices. The Dub was just too Americanized.
Who we have...
Yamada: The lead female, she's attempting to have sex with 100 men! She's a sex fiend and a virgin all at the same time; having the drive to set out on the sex mission, but not the.... skill set. She seems to think her lady parts look wrong so, she wanted to find an obviously inexperienced male to be her first.
Of course, teenage emotions get in her way. Instead of a casual sex partner she ends up falling in love with her cherry boy. It takes all of the 12 episodes for her to completely realize that yes... she likes this guy and that the two of them don't have to just jump into bed and do it.
Personality wise, she is severely lacking.... she's an uptight bitch for the most part. Deep down though she is really a kind, sweet girl who is just a little confused about stuff. I'll admit her antics are quite amusing though...

Kosuda Takashi: The poor, clueless, cherry boy that Yamada chooses to loose her virginity to. He's a "good guy", a gentleman really... just...clueless. He's really good with photography and likes to take pictures of scenery more so then people, he does take some pictures of Yamada though.
He lives with his older sister and.... has a fear of heights that leads to some awkward breast grabbing on a giant slide at a water park. About midway through he knows that he's fallen for Yamada and of course has no idea that his childhood friend Miyano has the hots for him.
Miharu Takeshita: Yamada's large breasted best friend, she's normally the voice of reason even though it falls on deaf ears. She seems to be in a committed relationship that she hasn't really given Yamada much or any information about. Her boyfriend kinda of feels sorry for her due to having to put up with Yamada and he has on more then one occasion gave Kosuda advice...
Mayu Miyano: Kosuda's childhood friend, next
door neighbor and just all around sweet girl. She's not so secretly in love with Kosuda, everyone but him seems to realize this and Yamada actually feels threatened by the relatively plain looking, large chested girl. She is however the perfect wife, she can cook and take care of a man... sadly she's just too timid to really act on her desires.
During the end of the series, at Kyoka's Christmas party she gets lost in Kyoka's mansion and ends up in her... Brother Love Room. Of course she's a bit naive so she really doesn't seem to think much of the room...
Kyoka Kanejou: A rich, beautiful, seemingly kind girl who transfers into Yamada's school from America. On her first appearance she looses a pageant to Yamada and becomes extremely obsessed with crushing her.
She's really a bit psycho, and at her house she has a secret room fully devoted to her older brother. Who she loves...deeply....more then anything. To the maids disapproval....
Keiichi Kanejou: Kyoka's older brother, he doesn't show up till late in the series and of course... when he does... He falls for Yamada. He's hot, says he's still a virgin {may actually be since his sister is a psycho} and asked Yamada on a date... right in front of Kosuda {rude}. Of course she adamantly denies him and he's still after her... much to his sisters dismay.
The Ero-Gami; Yamada, Miyano and Kosuda all have their very own Lust Gods. No one can see them, but they are there to guide their humans to the glory of sex. Well, not Miyano's she seems to be just as innocent as the real Miyano.
Kosuda's may be the most amusing, certainly when he's put in place of his penis in a few scenes.
The End: Noone got laid, well...other then Takeshita maybe. Yamada and Kosuda seem to finally be a "couple", the parts with Kosuda in the hospital and Yamada playing nurse were probably the best parts of the show. Well, when the bed at the Love Hotel went berserk and threw Kosuda off breaking his leg right before they did the deed was also quite amusing... haha.
Kyoka still has it out for Yamada, even more so now that her brother wants to loose his V-Card to her. I kind of wished that Keiichi would meet Mayu and the two of them would hit it off.. This would leave Kyoka with noone but.. That doesn't really matter.
