Ao-chan Can’t Study! (Episode 1) – Ao-chan Can’t Enjoy Her Youth

What happened?

Ao once revealed the origin of her name which was given to her by her father, a noted erotica author. He said it was as in “show ’em your A-O-face!” Since that moment, Ao has made it her mission to avoid men and focus on studying so that she can go to a university far-far away from her father.

Everything seemed to be going to plan until a boy called Kijima started to show an interest in Ao. Determined to put her life back on track she resolved to tell him that she hated him, so when the gym teacher asked Ao to take Kijima’s uniform to the infirmary as he’d sprained his ankle, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

But once faced with him, she found herself unable to tell him. Then her perverted father intervened, attempting to help her score, things went from bad to worse and before she knew it, Kajima had confessed his love for her…

What did you think?

This was far tamer than I was expecting, almost boring. On top of that, Ao’s father is a bizarre chibi-style character that is so over the top it’s silly. This made all of his interactions seem that much more forced and odd. There also wasn’t much in the way of ecchi content with a tiddy pudding probably being the most shocking moment. I hope this series picks up as it goes, but it wasn’t the best start.
