Шаблон:NihongoШаблон:Efn is a Japanese sex comedy manga series created by Kazuki Funatsu. It was originally published as a webcomic through Funatsu's Twitter account starting in March 2017, and has since been published by Kadokawa Shoten in two collected tankōbon volumes. A two-part novelization and a live-action adaptation were released in 2018, and an anime television series adaptation by Adonero aired from October to December 2020.

The series follows Suwaru Doge, a man who bows in front of young women while asking to see their underwear or breasts, and focuses on their reactions to him. The webcomic serialization of the manga was popular with readers, while the critical reception varied, praising the visuals but sometimes criticizing the writing.

Doge himself is rarely actually visible, as the series instead focuses on the female cast.

Anime

A series of anime shorts adapting the series was produced by Adonero and directed by Shinpei Nagai, with character designs by Harabote, background art by Ami Takasusuki, and color by Akira Nagasaka. The sound was produced at Dax Production and directed by Masakatsu Oomuro, while the music was produced at DMM Music and composed by no_my. Nagai was also in charge of the animatics work for the series. The episodes end with art cards of the characters by various artists: these include Jonsun, Saisou, Unasaka, Kaisen Chuui, Harimoji, Kujo Ichiso, Neibi, Oryou, Yanyo, Sakiyamama, Nishida, and Funatsu.

Funatsu was surprised when approached about the adaptation, and said in July 2020 that he could not believe that it would happen; The Fandom Post commented that it is rare for adult manga to be adapted for a mainstream platform. The anime was announced in July 2020 by Gakken's Megami Magazine, and aired from October 14 to December 30, 2020 on AT-X, and ran for 12 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with English subtitles. The series was released on Blu-ray on December 23, 2020 in Japan, with the censorship from the broadcast version removed, an additional OVA episode, a soundtrack album, and, depending on retailer, one of a number of illustrations of the female cast showing their breasts or underwear.

The main cast was announced in August 2020, and includes Tomokazu Sugita as Suwaru Doge; Kazuma Horie as the Heavenly Voice; and Yui Ogura, Juri Nagatsuma, Miyu Tomita, Ayaka Shimizu, Saika Kitamori as the female cast, playing 2–3 characters each, while Akane Kaida plays as one. Shimizu and Kaida thought it was exciting to get to act in sexy and embarrassing scenes, and Kitamori liked getting to use her experience with living on Kyushu for one of her characters who speaks with a Hakata dialect. The theme song, "Dogeza! Do Get That", was performed by Ogura, Sugita, Kitamori and Kaida as their characters, credited as the group "Dogeza-tai". This marked Kaida's first time recording a character song, and Kitamori's first time recording music in general; Kitamori enjoyed the opportunity, whereas Kaida expressed a feeling of relief after having finished the recording.

Reception

Although the series was well received in Japan, with its web serialization being popular with readers on Twitter, it was less popular internationally. GNN recommended the series to readers interested in the topic, calling it visually appealing with well done coloring. Comic Book Resources like the series' premise, and wrote that the series makes good use of the manga format, with its first-person perspective.

Anime Anime thought that the format of the anime adaptation worked well, as one can watch several of the short episodes in one sitting, although Comic Book Resources noted that the anime had a hard time adapting the manga's point-of-view presentation. The Fandom Post was critical of the series, calling it "trashy" and full of bad messages, but well animated and having "just stunning" ending artwork for the episodes. They heavily panned episode 8, where Doge pretends to be a baby, as "a whole new level of embarrassing in a big way", but still found it funny to see Kanan turn things on Doge in episode 3, and thought the book talk in the beginning of episode 4 was cute.
