One man and bunch of girls trapped by mysterious barrier in school. You have probably seen enough stuff to know, where this is going. The story is psychological in particular psychological manipulation and domination from which the main character young man Haruka Sato is getting his satisfaction. The name and cover explain the gist of the manga. The series has explicit sex and violence so beware of that. Despite having elements of typical adult harem series, it has this strange mystery and psychological element to it. To be more critical it does seem to play on the NEET revenge porn fantasy on women, who look down on man of this low status.

I don’t understand why the supposed adult characters look like bunch of children. They get trapped during their high school reunion in the school. The characters' design is questionable. Especially the MC looks like twelve rather than twenty-six years old. Why? May be to contrast cute design with more rough content. I don’t know. There are no monsters in the school only those the characters have brought within them.

There are only seven girls, that makes me wonder what the story is going to be when all are conquered. It goes at the very common speed for such series one new girl per volume. It has hint of mystery with motivation and true objectives one of the characters [1].

Overall, it’s ok adult harem with dark elements. If you are looking just for serious psychological story, I would look elsewhere.

Japanese difficulty 5/10 (see my profile for details about various difficulty scores)

This series despite having adult content does contain quite lot of furigana. It’s strange, because it doesn’t use it everywhere. The text of average density is quite straightforward and there is no complicated vocabulary used.

This review is written after reading three volumes (all released volumes).
