Now that FAKKU has released over a dozen books and are just about to start simulpublishing magazines from Japan I thought it would be a good time to talk about which erotic manga we love the most.
In addition to the poll I also thought we might write top lists. You can make any kind of top list you want according to any kind of sensibility that you want, and I'm going to start by ranking all the books in the current FAKKU lineup according to how much I like them.
Note that I don't think any of these are bad hentai, I think they are all good, but there are some I enjoy more and some I enjoy less. Also note that this is a subjective ranking based on my own tastes and opinions. So feel free to disagree ;)
11. PuniKano
This one didn't leave much of an impression on me the first time I read it, with the exception of the last chapter which I thought had a pretty sweet story. I think it has a lot to do with that pyon-Kti's art doesn't turn me on. But the art is still pretty to look at, and I enjoy the rough sex scenes that squirt bodily fluids everywhere. Just not my kind of fapping material.
10. Alluring Woman
This was the first time I read a hentai made by a woman, and in a way it was an eye-opener. In the past I went by the stereotype that women only draw and read yaoi, but as it turns out hentai made for a straight male audience has more crossover appeal than I thought. That being said though this one didn't do it for me that much in terms of a sexual experience. I still like the way Cuvie draws women in that you can see their bones a bit more (if that makes sense).
09. Porno Switch
I know a lot of people like Hisasi, but I'm putting this one pretty low on the list. What these first three all have in common is that they didn't really turn me on. I know that hentai is more than fapping (I'll get to that later) but a sexual experience is still a big part of it, and the styles of these three artists aren't really my thing. Porno Switch is my preferred one of them because it's more enjoyable to me, it even has a few moments that actually made me laugh. I do think Hisasi is a good artist and I hope to see more of him.
08. Cure Assort
I owe a lot to lesbian porn, so it was a lot of fun reading this. It may be short but it was a good reminder that sweet yuri can sometimes be very rewarding fapping material. So please keep 'em coming yuri-ism ;)
07. Peachy-Butt Girls
Obviously this one has strong appeal since it's the best selling book FAKKU has published. If I were to guess I would say that it's because it has something for everyone (even tentacle fans). But maybe it has more to do with Bosshi's talent for drawing his special brand of cute girls with fun personalities, sexy swimsuits, and peachy butts. I had a lot of fun reading this and so did the rest of us.
06. Melty Gaze
I went into this one not expecting much, but it turned out to one of the most awesome hentai I've read. Ironically not because it offered me a lot of fapping material, but because I was just swept away by the art and writing on display. Hyocorou appears to be the kind of artist who likes to go crazy and not conform to any set standard (much to the dismay of his editors apparently), and that's something I really like in an artist. Not that much fapping, but a whole lot of awesome.
05. TiTiKEi
Just when I thought I had seen some good boobies ISHiKEi comes along and blows everyone out of the water. The female nudity in this book is so erotic that I get turned on at first glance, and to watch them fuck each others brains out just makes me drool. This is especially true for the main heroine Chie. Add that to the fact that half of it all is in full colour, this is one erotic experience I won't soon forget.
04. Love-Ridden
If I were to put my faith in a hentai artist to always bring me great fapping material it would be napata. There's nothing that napata has made that didn't give me a wonderful erotic experience, and this book is no exception. Every chapter was around that same level of pleasure, and if napata aims to draw even cuter and sexier heroines in the future then I have to see it.
03. Hanafuda
If I were to judge all these books as works of art alone I would probably place this one at the top. This book is so beautiful and unique both in terms of art and storytelling. It didn't work for some as fapping material, but to me it has some of the best in the lineup. I also appreciate that it doesn't shy away from obscene content like bestiality and loli/shotacon. If you thought hentai wasn't art before you certainly will after you've read this work of art.
02. Welcome to Tokoharu Apartments
A Gunma hentai? Hell yes! Just to top it of it's harem comedy, and probably the sexiest and most cleverly written one I've ever read. Like any good harem it offers hot sex scenes with all the heroines and eventually comes to a resolution, but what makes this one so brilliant is that it's resolution not only makes sense but is also very emotionally satisfying. It holds together better than any harem I've read. That along with Gunma's fantastic artwork makes this some high quality fapping material. Highly recommended!
01. Renai Sample
Yep, even after all this time it's still my favourite hentai of all time, and with good reason. The reason I read erotic manga is not just because I want a good fap, but because i want to remind myself of something very important: sex is a beautiful thing. In real life I have a lot of insecurities about sex which results in a lot of angst. Reading good hentai is for me a way to cope with that, and none does this better than Renai Sample. The relationships between the characters and the sex they have is not only passionate but also very intimate. Even a small detail like a gentle kiss on the lips can help to make a sex scene so much more. Stories that will touch your heart and beautiful art combine to make this an erotic experience so good it blew my mind when I first read it, and it still holds up. It's my favourite book in FAKKU's lineup and it made me an avid fan of FAKKU!
