It’s about a lovable loser. He’s shy, and not that interesting. But he somehow winds up in the company of a hot — and flawed but fundamentally pure — girl.
Occasionally, “H” things happen between them.
Fanservice here and there.
Along the way, there are a lot of laughs. Interlopers and…

[TW: references to sexual assault]
Now, we come to the second half of the problem with breasts: The idea that women are obsessed with them. While the scene referenced above has all the assault-y overtones of the one referenced in my earlier post it’s also upsetting because...
