Synopsis

 

Hideo Aiba's sexual desires awaken when he meets the new girl in class, Kurumi Sahana. The first of many struggles begin when she puts her table up to his. Aiba gets paranoid when trying not to bring attention to his erection. He decides to quit his geeky school club, the roman club, whose only rule requires that members be virgins. However, Aiba is promoted to club president since the previous leader is kicked out for allegedly losing his virginity. Soon Kurumi decides to join their club, being the first girl to join the club, the boys seem apprehensive. Except for Aiba who is willing to go through masochistic feats in order to humour Kurumi.

 

The school's martial arts club invades the roman club's territory as their own. Kurumi wagers a battle between the two clubs. If Aiba can last long enough in an arm lock then they'll keep the club room and have Kurumi but also the martial artist will serve to protect the boys. Kurumi prevents Aiba from tapping out, by being close to him during the wrestling, she traps his hand from under her crotch. Poor Aiba can't hide his erection whilst he gets his arm broken.

 

Through the following days, Kurumi tests Aiba, who is willing to go to dangerous lengths to get her number but he is fortunately safe with the protection of the martial arts club. Another girl, Kyouko, gets jealous of Kurumi and steals a voodoo doll from the roman club but ends up enjoying her time with the roman club so much that she makes herself a member. When Kurumi falls ill, Aiba can't help but blame himself and think that in someway her distance is a way of punishing him.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
