Onani Master Kurosawa - Recommendations

Szwagier says...

Weird Combo? Defienietly. What does a 14 year old masturbation addict have to do with guy killing criminal via notebook? Well for starters Onani Master Kurosawa is (at least at the first half ) a very obvious parody of Death Note. Young Kurosawa just like our (anti)hero Light deals justice to all the annoying bullie girls by fantasising about raping them and ( a bit l8r in the series) by spreading the white juice over their clothes while they're not here.

That said you really shouldn't just treat Onani master as plain parody - it gets more meaningful than you could have anticipated from the title and description, I can  even say that in terms of psychological realism it surpass Death Note by far.

Summing it up - both mangas are about a lone-wolf, who looks down on everyone around him and feels righteus enough to judge them (whether just in imagination or in harsh reality). Both deals with issues of punishing the crime that can't be punished by normal means.

both Kurosawa and Light Yagami have almost the same type of dark personalities...

talking about the manga, both are have somewhat fucked up and twisted plot

Jare says...

If you liked Onani Master Kurosawa, you'd also like Death Note because they're strikingly similar in many ways. The main characters are probably the biggest reason. Both Kurosawa and Light Yagami are anti-heros that have a dark personality and look down on everyone around them. They both have twisted ways of "justifying" evil, and are very analytical about things.

Also, the suspense you get when reading OMK is almost the same suspense you get reading Death Note.

Naga says...

It doesn't matter if the main charachter's biggest passion is writing in the notebook or fapping... everything looks better when you play epic music and look at their indentical (yes OMK is parodying DN in that) facial expressions... their goals are quite questionable... and so is their sense of justice... though it doesn't make them any less epic...

JtkBasketball says...

These two have one thing in common, the main character talks to himself like he is in control of the world. 

AirCommodore says...

In both manga, our teenage protagonist is caught doing something pervy/embarassing (stealing a girl's gym clothes, etc.) by a female classmate, who lords it over him, and blackmails him into doing whatever she wants- or else she'll tell everyone his secret. Both are psychologically dark, but while Onani Master is also fairly uplifting, it's unlikely that The Flowers of Evil will be anything but twisted.

Remmmmm says...

Both are about a middle school boy commiting a perverse act

Both seem to be ecchi comedies but end up being psychological

Both are about blackmail

(Flowers of evil is a bit more messed up than onani master kurosawa)

dreamindodo says...

Initially, both may appear as depraved indulgence; however, upon closer examination, they reveal themselves to be increasingly psychological narratives with a profound focus on character development. "The Flowers of Evil" stands out for its heightened intensity and subtle conveyance of its messages.

AirCommodore says...

Onani Master lacks Sundome's nearly-nonstop and over-the-top ecchi, but both are coming of age stories about nerdy anti-social guys, cute popular girls, and masturbation. Fans of one may enjoy the other (especially Sundome -> Onani Master. Some Onani Master fans may not be down for all the fetish-y ecchi of Sundome).

wolfbankai says...

Further you read , The deeper and darker it gets.

Similar atmosphere and lots of sexual stuff going on. 

Onani Master is serious from very start while Sundome has some comedy elements. (not much though)

maquisard says...

Both of them have a harem setting but the main character is kind of antisocial, antiromantic ; he slowly learns, often the hard way, to open up to others. They also both feature consistent - as in realistic, not too caricatural - female protagonists.

SawZack says...

I think i love all of them because it has mysteries about sexual activity, but not like hentai, both of them used that ingredients to give a certain lesson about life and friendships. The plot twist also cool too. And they are both short manga, you can finish it in a short amount of time.

LinkSword says...

No, I'm not making this recommendation just because both protagonists' surname is Kurosawa.

Though the drawing style is very different (Onani's being much more appealing at first sight) and the age of the characters as well (Onani's Kurosawa is 14 or 15; the other Kurosawa is on his forties) both these stories focus on a social outcast that can't seem to get along with the people that surround him, whether that's on his own volition or because he lacks social skills. As the story goes on, both characters change steadily, and so do their relationships with their fellow classmates/coworkers and how those people look at the two. Love is an important matter as well, though in a different way for each.

Both manga include worrisome, mature themes such as bullying, harassment, homelessness or violence, and they take a deeper look at them than one would expect.

Out of the two, Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa is surely the darker one, with a very pessimistic peek at society and slight rays of hope that amount to little.

Depending on why you liked either of these, you might greatly appreciate the other. If the reason is mainly some of the aforementioned, I think it's worth a try for you.

Likeablefella says...

Both contain a similiar comedic tone (With N.H.K possibly edging more on the comedic side) with damaged and confused characters. Both series also contain a very similiar message and the same descent into dark territory. If you like one; you should definately try the other.

Rotaku says...

Nozoki Ana and Onani Master Kurosawa are similar in the aspect that they both have a serious plot based around the subject of sex and masturbation respectively. Both play with the aspects of human emotion, interaction and serious character development. In both there are characters who aren't quite what they seem to be. If you like one of these, I can almost garuntee that you will like the other.

AirCommodore says...

It's a bit weird to rec a shoujo manga to a story about masturbation, but hear me out. I find most manga set in high schools to be extremely boring. Most have the same characters acting out the same plots over and over again. Onani Master and Lady Kanoko really impressed me, though. Both are extremely hearfelt with interesting characters, and (aside from Onani Master's frequent parodies) neither feel derivative- you won't find many other manga like them. Though both are about loners learning to make friends and trust others, it never feels like you're reading something you've already seen in some other fluffy high schol drama.

LinkSword says...

Kids and teenagers can both be really cruel, and for the odd one out, life can become hell. Bullying, ill rumors, rejection. The fear of those unknown to us and the fear to get to know that they, too, are fragile people just like you and me who suffer when we hurt them. But, for better or worse, the positions of bully, bullied and observer switch places at the whim of the majority's circumstances, and that is when people learn the most about others and themselves.

In the end, Koe no Katachi and Onani Master Kurosawa are somewhat different takes on the same idea of fellow humans getting to comprehend and respect each other. Beautiful tales of sorrow and suffering, self-realization and redemption, then an effort to reach out to happiness... and perhaps love.

DivJoe says...

Tbh they both have themes of revenge in it. However Onani Master Kurosawa has a good character development arc whilst Redo Of Healer only gets worse. Onani Master Kurosawa is basically Redo Of Healer but much better and less torture.
