No.
No on so many levels.
I haven't had the urge to chuck a book across the room in a while.
So the description is misleading. This is a book about rape. Rape, rape, and more rape. Raping boys. Raping girls. Lesbian rape. Kidnapping girls with tasers to rape. Drugs that make guys rape girls.
Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I hate series that make light of rape. This one does it so much that I'm tempted to kill it with fire if not for the fact it's a library book.
Anyway, the real description should actually be:
"This is some dude, name not important. He's hot. He will now be raped by every girl at school if he doesn't find some not psycho chick to pretend to be his girlfriend. He finds one, but girl (again, name not important) gets bullied and nearly raped twice because of guy/by guy. Also, despite the characters being obvious about all of this, teachers are so stupid they don't even notice (or they just don't care). The end."
So, nope. No thank you. This was absolutely disgusting.

Welcome to Sexual Assault Academy. The only good thing I have to say here is that female sexuality is the focus in a way that doesn't frame them as "sluts." But it isn't funny to have girls assaulting guys, having males in charge of "taming" the girls' sexual appetites is distasteful, and the bullying depicted is frankly disgusting. It's stories like these that make me remember that we all have different senses of humor - because as a comedy, this is a hard fail for me.

A fascinating dumpster fire.
TW: rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment.
The mangaka basically said in the notes that they wanted to write a story were the female characters attack the male lead. They succeeded. The main dude is constantly trying to escape sexual assault from his peers. I am in no way condoning or approving of such behavior.
However, it is sort of an unintentional examination of rape culture. The main guy (i can't remember his name) calls the attempted rape "rape" but no one takes it seriously. He suffers from micro aggressions left and right and is expected to accept that as normal. He has to hide behind a fictional relationship because his abusers don't respect his boundaries but the boundaries of someone they consider equal. All of the female students, save our leading lady, are predators waiting for the right moment to strike.* The main girl sees what's going on but hesitates to risk personal comfort for the main guy's safety.
Maybe it's because I'm reading this side-by-side with Black Bird were the MC is constantly fighting off the sexual advances of every rando and her love interest, but it's interesting to see these tropes gender swapped. I will probably continue to read this series to see how this meta analysis plays out, especially as the sexually aggressive behavior is framed as bad, but i don't expect them to be morally or qualitatively good.
*what was with the lone lesbian character? I can't tell if the joke was supposed to be about butch lesbians or transphobic or what but it was bad.

What in the hell did I just read?! I've never read a more misleading synopsis in my life. I was expecting something funny and lighthearted. I got some sex crazed girls and guys who get malled every day at school by them.
This manga is full of series issues! We have extreme bullying, attempted rape, and terrible characters. Where are the teachers here? Does anybody have any morals?
I will not be continuing with this series!

Yeah no. There’s nothing but sexual assault, sexual harassment, attempted rape, and bullying in this book. I kept reading hoping it would get better but it didn’t. MC was funny and she stood up in the end so one star.

I bought this and the next two volumes while bargain bin shopping a while back. The cover made me think it might be some kind of "bad boy + nerdy wallflower" romance. It's not.
Jyoushioka High School used to be an all-girls' school until a few years ago. Although it's now co-ed, the school's girls still vastly outnumber the boys. All the boys are placed in S-class, which only the richest and brightest girls are assigned to.
Azusa Mizutani is the school's newest male transfer student. He has no idea how the school works, and he soon realizes that he'll have to learn fast. Since boys are few and far between, nearly all of the girls are sex crazed. S-class gets first dibs on raping the boys, after which they're fair game for anyone who can get at them. Munechika, the school's most powerful guy, has learned how to make the system work for him, and his advice to Azusa is simple: just accept it and don't get anyone pregnant.
Azusa doesn't have many options. He can take control and actively seduce girls the way Munechika does, keep running until he's finally cornered and raped, or find a girl who's willing to date him and thereby stake her claim on him. When he accidentally comes across Rise Okitsu, a girl who just wants to make it through high school without getting involved in any trouble, he decides to declare her his girlfriend.
I always liked Del Rey's manga releases because they all had pages of useful translator's notes. Those notes are probably the best thing about this pile of garbage.
This series is basically just an excuse for lots of on-page abuse and near-rape. Within the first few pages, Azusa spots a guy in tears because a gang of girls ripped all his clothes off. During his first class, he reads a note being passed around in which all the girls are talking about how hot he is and what it'll be like when they tie him up, take embarrassing pictures of him, and rape him. (I don't recall the word "rape" ever being used in the volume, but it's pretty clear that's what the girls intend to do.) After Azusa forces Rise to help him, There are a couple instances where girls try to drug Azusa -
The brief quiet period after Azusa initially announced that he belonged to Rise bothered me on multiple levels. Both Azusa and Rise started to relax, thinking their fellow students' sudden friendliness was genuine, and all I could think was how gross it would be to smile and laugh with students who were only behaving like decent human beings because of a necktie (students who are dating each other exchange neckties).
There are a few gender-flipped instances of the sorts of things women often encounter. For example, when Azusa first finds out how the girls treat the boys, he tells himself that the boy he saw on his way to his first class must have had a problem (had done something that led to the girls attacking him). That kind of thing wouldn't happen to him because he's different. So we have victim-blaming as a form of self-comfort (which doesn't last long in this case). Then there's the whole "ownership" aspect of dating - guys gaining some measure of protection by declaring that they "belong" to one particular girl. The gender-flipping didn't make any of it less gross, and I have a feeling that, in the end, Yuzuki was aiming more for "titillating rape fantasy" than some sort of commentary on rape culture.
There was also some "not like other girls" crap. Rise was the only girl who wasn't involved in the boy-hunting and the only one who seemed to be even slightly bothered by any of it. There were also multiple instances of her fuming about the "heifers" and "sluts" at her school.
If I continue on, it's because I already own the next couple volumes and it's always hard for me to force myself to offload stuff I haven't read. I can't get the "what if it gets better?" voice to shut up, even in cases like this, where odds are really good that it won't get better and might even get worse.
Extras:
Four pages of translators notes, a couple pages of honorifics explanations, a few author freetalk sections (including the postscript, in which the author writes "Well, to tell you the truth, I've been drawing manga just by my instincts, so I don't know the basics of building up a story." (175)), and at least one humorous four-panel comic featuring characters from the series.

Azusa Mizutani is the new male student at the prestigious Jyôshioka Gakuen Private High School. It used to be an all-girl school. Only recently, it became co-ed but only a small number of boys are enrolled because of the difficulty to get acceptance.
On Azusa's first day, he finds the individuals of the male population to be very strange. But no stranger than the fact that the whole entire female body tries to mob him! Their sexual desires are at the maximum! With rarely any boys around, they would always take on the new student (especially if they are good-looking!). And this time, Azusa is on their hit-list!
While hiding from them in a closet, he meets the nerdy Rise Okitsu. She wants no part in the battle to get him and just wants her peace. Remembering one of the techniques that another male classmate told him, Azusa decides that he must pretend to commit to Rise to avoid the female herd. Pulling out the girl, who's appearance he fussed up (making her look undeniably pretty once you get rid of her geek getup) and half naked himself, all the girls gasp in shock. How could he pick her??! From then on, they are "officially" a couple!
To Rise's horror, she now has to go through endless bullying from all the girls. She hates it. She tries to stay low in high school until this idiot shows up and wrecks everything!
Both Rise and Azusa are now constantly being attacked by the school; will there be no end to this sea of madness?!?
To start off, when I glanced at the cover and summary, I knew it was a clique story. And it is. I thought I wouldn't like it as much because it is one of the many repetitive plots that mangakas are using nowadays. But remarkably, Gakuen Prince was an entertaining read that I could not put down!
Sometimes, the main girl could be quite annoying. But I actually like Rise! Maybe because I can relate to her in the nerd factor and tries to avoid attention too. Even though she is the "girlfriend" to a hot guy, she is completely unfazed while other girls are attempting to rape him! She was bullied when she was younger (yet to explain why), giving the reason why she likes to stay out of the spotlight. She may be quiet but can be strong and scary if you provoke her enough!
Two of my other favourite characters would be Akamaru and Munechika, both males. Akamaru is a solemn guy who you would never know what he is thinking of. Munechika is the polar opposite. He may look and appear more mature, but he fools around with more girls than you could count. I liked the way the mangaka potrayed these two stereotypes (or they wouldn't be my favourite characters!). And Azusa is just the stupid sort of guy that you would just want to make poke fun of!
Gakuen Prince is a definite non-serious read for those who likes your typical girl-meet-boy-but-they-don't-really-like-each-other-except-they-have-no-choice-to-be-stuck-with-each-other-anyway plot (phew)! The art is also drawn very nicely! The character would be all beautiful one second and then down-right comically ugly the next! Check it out manga fans! The second volume is totally on my wishlist!

I bought this books because I had read 2 books in another series by this author, which I thought were cute. The art in this book isn't as good as the art in the other series. That was the first thing I noticed. Second thing I noticed is the fact that this story has a major problem: rape. The female students gang up to chase down boys to rape, sometimes with the aid of stun guns, drugs, restraints, and/or trickery. They even have an organized system of rules which completely strip male students of their rights. It is meant to be funny, but it's not. It wouldn't be funny if the genders were switched, either. There are also serious problems with bullying and classism. The teachers are all too stupid, oblivious, or uncaring to do anything about any of that. On top of the "world building" being crap, most of the characters are flat and/or inconsistent. The main character is alternately weak and timid, then acting like a tough kid trying to intimidate everyone with her sneers. I feel like the author thought she was being clever and edgy, and she's just not.

This has been one of the foulest things I have read in a long time. This is not like the vapid things I have trudged through. No, it is absurdly horrid. Even in the most exaggerated, satirical interpretations of human behavior, it is still horrid. All of these kids have one thing on their mind. Just one! And where are the teachers? The school isn't a school at all, but a pig pen caged ravenous animals.
I kept thinking that surely the next chapter, the next book will get better. It never did. For this scenario to get enjoyable, it needed to follow an established formula most others fall into. The exaggerated is supposed to fade out after a few chapters, or a volume and a half with an occasional flare up every now and then. For it to be this drawn out, it needs to be a 30+ volume series like Boys Over Flowers. But seeing as it is not,it just remained trapped in the incredible mental stench.

Well, this book has one of the most misleading descriptions of all time.
I thought I was getting into a lighthearted manga where girls compete over a small number of guys, with our heroine determined to get a boyfriend, ending up in hilarity.
Nooooooooooooooope.
This story is about a high school with only a handful of guys, guys who, if not 'protected' by being with a girl or by just banging any girl who wants to, are subject to sexual assault and rape.
Yep.
Rape.
Desperate not to be, y'know, RAPED, he makes it look like he's going out with a girl who frankly wants nothing to do with him or any guy there, and that causes our leading lady to be bullied, and, you guessed it, almost raped.
WTF.
Who wants this? Who is this manga for? I'm genuinely asking. Fans of rape and near rape experiences? Psychopaths? Like, seriously?
I want my money back and I didn't even pay for this. Gross, gross, gross.

Before you judge me on my rating, hear me out.
I do not like the whole scenario of school filled with desperate girls, with the urge to rape any guys (with a requirement: Must be handsome)
The only reason I gave a 4-star-rating is due to the one and only Akamaru Omi. If the mangaka didn't create this character, I would have left this manga aside loooong ago. I mean look at him! Those eyes, his hair along with his height are all so dreamy~ He's attractiveness doesn't end there, he's also kind, protective, loyal and throughout the manga he really cherish the main character.

(4.5) This is absolutely freakin hilarious. Also kinda wrong. (OK, not kinda. Quite. Probably not recommended for anyone I actually know in person.)
--- series review
I loved the first half for all the wrong reasons (see above) and hate read the second half where it turned into weird sentimental mush (or got back on shojo track, depending on your worldview).
Summary - best avoided, as you're either like me (also see above), or you'd like the second half but be too squicked by the first half to get there.

This manga is shrink wrapped at the book store, which I think gives something away about its subject matter. Though there was never anything more racy than an un-done blouse (!) or the top of some underwear. The story is OK and the characters are a bit hard to follow. I only read two books into the series because I got kind of bored.

Es imposible recomendarlo porque es re trucho y super predecible. Pero hace mucho que no leía manga shoujo y me re enganché xD

2.5 stars
This isn't the best shojo in the world but, it's not horrible. Really hoping Akamaru gets the girl.

*Spoilers for the whole series*
*Repeat review as of vol 12. I seriously needed to warn potential readers*
This is a series where the best you can say about it is of "well... At least there isn't incest".
From a magical school where laws don't apply and women free to rape as they please to a rushed plotline where romance is missing but love blooms anyway.
This whole series has thrown me into a loop from the start.
No love occurs between the main couple and on the last few volumes there's a sudden pairing switch where the heroine claims love for her childhood friend until... She just suddenly stops loving him and wants to go back to the main guy who never said a kind word to her despite her going through horrendous abuse to protect him, has now decided he loves her too
A random rich dad comes in to send the main boy overseas in a plot about his mysterious past that was forgotten for the last 10 volumes. And the dad, seen for a total of 3 chapters in the whole series despite being the antagonist this whole time, just gives up in the face of one teenage kiss...
Oh let's not forget the 2nd male leads of childhood friend and actual prince who declared his love for the heroine and was just... Forgotten.....
This series sucked. The only thing I liked was the mangaka drew some pretty funny faces occasionally

2.5 stars. So, this is full of kinks and problems, and the story is very thinly drawn behind it with a slow (very slow) development with lots of random pathways and side stories, yet it is coming together.
It's practically a dumpster fire you can't look away from or rather, I can't look away from...I am a total junkie at this point, but oh my goodness, I can't give it under 2.5 stars because I am surprisingly not angry at the manga, even with it's issues, because it just seems so over the top and ridiculous from the first page. It's crazy-pants and crap-tastic. And, super problematic issues in crazy pants scenarios doesn't seem to bother me as much as problematic issues in non-crazy pants scenarios.

Seriously...what was this? I would have really liked to give a good review but how can I when this was so bad. Happy I KU'ed or else I'd be seriously pissed.
I was hoping that there would be some redeeming factors as I read further but, nope. There was no saving this manga...not the story, not the graphic, nothing. The story was trite, with a sliver of a plot. The graphics were, meh. Throughout the story, the graphics seemed to morph from older teens to pre-teens to toddlers, then flipped back to older teens again.
Jun Yuzuki is clearly a talented graphic artist but not a very good storyteller. Also, there should have been extensive editing and proofing done before this was released.

I like the MMC and FMC so far. I'm interested in seeing their story progress. I wasn't sure how to rate this one. 3 stars seems right to me. I like the main characters but this volume/series is very problematic. This story has some very dark elements to it and I don't agree with the way these issues are made light of. So yeah that's it.
March 31, 2025
The reviews are correct this is a lot of assault and sexual violence.... I think i will read one more and see if it is the same cause it needs more plot. I don't see how the teachers aren't aware of this crap.

This was very disturbing- the main characters are the only sane one here, and pretty likable in someways but the whole school is full of girl rapist and male prostitutes...
