Synopsis

After winning the lottery and landing a job in a prestigious firm, Shin Nitta returns home to celebrate the happiest moment of his life. However, the next morning, his elation turns to panic when his loan agent suddenly informs him of his massive debt. With no hope of paying off his creditors, the devastated Shin is given an alternative: befriend a beautiful girl named Kanoko Kikuchiya, whom he had encountered earlier in a business meeting. Thinking it would be a simple job, Shin accepts the offer, but little did he know of Kanoko's true nature as a spoiled, lustful girl who demands his company at every moment.

In Velvet Kiss, a hapless salaryman must climb his way out of debt by appeasing a wealthy temptress who thirsts for sexual intimacy. As the bond between the two transcends from a mere partnership, they begin to learn each other's secrets and the truth behind their fateful meeting.

The first two-thirds of the manga is basically a diet hentai with almost 1-2 sex scenes a chapter. But the story and themes shine through towards the end ; with the result becoming more than just fanservice and ecchi for it's sake.

The MC is a salaryman that get entrapped into looking taking care of a girl and her "needs". You find out later this is actually integral to the plot as more characters get introduced.

Themes like Love vs Lust, Friendship or skinship, and understanding what makes one happy are present througout the work as the two main characters have larger impacts on ...

Mixed Feelings

So kinda read this unexpectedly, i never read or watched a hentai since it wasn't interesting to me and was just another way of rubbing one out for people who enjoyed it, but i was reading haikyu when i stumbled upon this and started reading out of curiosity and I must say im surprised
I'm nit used to nudity or sex scenes in manga like im used to them in western shows, i guess im attached to this idea of manga not being erotic in the sense that you never see any sex scenes or rarely kisses in romance anime.
Anyway this was a fun read ...

You know, I read this manga after I bust a nut, I finished reading this manga after I bust a nut in like hours before I finished it. My point is, my horniness isn't going to be factor on how I will judge/rate this manga, my horniness wouldn't cloud my judgement and post nut clarity would also help me out on reviewing me this manga. I ain't gonna praise it or rate it high because I'm blinded by my horniness, and because it has many s*x scenes, as a man it is automatically good when you're horny, ... no. I'm observing and reviewing this without that shit so I'll try to be not biased about it, just because they showed naked girls.

First of all, if you're looking for a good drama series, don't pick this up, it is a bad forced drama. 2nd if you're feeling horny and don't want h*ntai manga shit, go pick this up, almost every chapter has s*x on it, it's like breathing to the characters. The author is horny as fuck when he/she was making this manga. I'd say 40-50 % of the manga shows a girl and boy having s*x, how lazy is that? every chapter the s*x scenes takes up like 4-5 pages minimum and sometimes it goes 6-7 pages, all of that to make the manga longer, without the s*x scenes, I bet It will be around 18-20 chapters long. Most of the times the s*x is just a filler, it doesn't help with the progression of the story, I get it if MC and the other girl (not the FMC) have s*x, that will establish the feelings of MC for the other girl, but most the times the s*x is there just to fill up the manga pages.

The drama is shit, you got a horny tsundere spoiled brat girl and a pushy weak ass beta MC (not as beta as the others, he man-up and smash the girl), you know this is what I don't understand about japanese people, when someone blackmail you, secretly play along with them while you gather evidence, or you could just fuck them off. There's a lot of problems here, blackmailing, pedophilia (middle aged man, teen girl having sex, I don't care if the girl started it, as an adult male, you're the one who's supposed to stop this behavior), technically reverse rape (teen girl "forced" our MC doing it, if it was the other way around it would be called rape, so it's fair to say that this is reverse rape case) and so many others.

The story without the sex isn't really enticing enough, most of the girls are all sl*ts, the only proper girls are the MC's workmates, I was rooting for the glasses girl workmate, but the MC got in loved with another useless girl, then he got NTR'd then calls back the main girl again (which is in teens btw) & uses her as rebound, a safety net, then everything that went wrong with them got solved through s*x, come on how can I take the story seriously now? suddenly all their conflicting personalities got solved through s*x? so that they can force the MC and heroine to reconcile? I also believe that the author got lazy with the other girl "saeki" if I remember correctly, the fastest way for her to get out of the picture was to NTR the MC, looks like the author heard that this series wouldn't be around any longer that's why he/she take the NTR route for fastest way to get saeki out of the picture and gave kanako and MC the reconciliation sex. The drama with her step-mom/aunt, it's all BS for me and that's what I was talking about the forced drama. I believe the author didn't intend to make the step-mother the villain, I think it was Yuki-san (the other rich boy who seems interested in our FMC kanoko) but since the series is nearing its end, the author needed something for FMC and MC to unite, that's why the author make her an enemy, which I think is BS.
