Strike 1: The trope where a girl becomes a guy’s “slave” because he finds out a secret she’s keeping
Strike 2: The love interest says to the heroine, “Hey, I’ll rape you,” when she falls asleep in front of him
Strike 3: The love interest takes the intoxicated heroine to a love hotel and proceeds to kiss her and get handsy even though she, being drunk, cannot consent to this scenario
To me, this first volume went way beyond acceptable boundaries for problematic content, and because of that I will not continue further with this series.

She isn't just your ordinary wallflower. She has a secret and it's big. Forced to support her brother while her mother is ill, she is asked to finish the last book her father was working on when he died. Only her father wasn't just well known for just any romance book, he was known for his books in erotica.
School, home and deadlines don't leave her much time to enjoy being a teenager. So when she finds herself caught trapped watching the newly enrolled famous model making out with one of his teachers, she uses it to meet her publisher's deadline. Unfortunately, people take notice and the model finds himself at the point of rage.
Ran, the model finds out where to find this pervert writer lives and is determined to confront him head on. What he didn't expect to find was some average girl with zero experience in sex. Though he should be mad with anger he gives her an ultimatum, be his slave, and make him lunch every day at school, or he'll expose her.
What starts out as a chance encounter between two people with zero things in common, slowly they find themselves involved in a romance story of their own.
It's a story of a girl who has no time to concern herself with finding love and a guy who finds he can only love just one girl.

There is so much wrong this manga. I know that and I get that. However, I couldn't stop reading it. Would I recommend it? Only if gross comments and actions don't bother you because it's a hot mess.

Momoko is a student with a secret - despite maintaining her place at school, she is dirt poor and raising one sibling by herself while working her dad’s old job. When the school’s pile of hormones, Ranmaru, discovers her dual life, things go from complicated to annoying AND complicated AND a manga ouroboros very quickly.
If this looks shockingly similar to the opening of my Maid In Honey review, take it up with author Mari Yoshino, as I decided to check out this earlier work of hers on a friend’s recommendation that it was not as bad.
Imagine my surprise to find that Maid in Honey is this exact book with the serial numbers filed off. Can you sue yourself for plagiarism? At least Niko and Momoko look different - Leon is a poorly Xeroxed version of Ranmaru.
As often happens, the original IS the better work, but how much better is the question. A lot of it depends on your tolerance for this mangaka’s ongoing problems with little things like consent.
Okay, starting positive, Momoko is the best thing in this book. Her motivation to care for her family is light years beyond her successor’s and she’s earnest and likeable. It juxtaposes hilariously with her job, which is ghost writing erotica for her deceased father.
The examples of her purple prose (to say nothing of her tendency to come up with them during otherwise banal situations) are so riotously awful and over the top that they almost save this volume on their own. There is a better book hidden within this idea that we’ll never get to read and it’s a real bummer.
Ranmaru edges out Leon by virtue of having maybe one redeeming quality. Otherwise he is the same sort of pushy asshole who has the same ‘love ‘em and leave ‘em’ philosophy. Ranmaru uses his leverage mostly to get lunch, so he’s a damn sight better in that regard.
His godawful attitudes towards other women aside, there is the chance that this might be going somewhere as Ranmaru opens up a little and comes to care about Momoko. Then the last part of the book happens.
Let me just shout this for the people at the back... DO NOT USE RAPE JOKES IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL ROMANTIC COMEDY! Is that really so hard? Is it? Even as a joke to be shocking, just say no, kids, especially when said to your female lead. There were any number of ways that line could been written that were less stupid.
Don’t worry, there’s more. The last section features our heroine getting mixed up with a group of party animals who end up giving her, super drunk and defenceless, over to a would-be assaulter. Fear not, Ranmaru saves Momoko so he can try having his way with her instead. Sigh. Mercifully the book ends at this point before anything worse can happen.
2.5 stars because it is unquestionably better than Maid In Honey. If the last part hadn’t happened, I would have begrudgingly given this 3 stars, but I can’t in good conscience round this up. The last part and that awful rape joke just left a bad taste in my mouth.
I will say that there IS a small chance in hell I might read another volume of this class, just to further cement that it edges out Maid In Honey in all respects.

Read scanlation version, #33 chapter, ongoing.
My manga app does weird things some times, tonite while I was checking my latest shonen series update, it end up recommending shojou, smut-ish one. Not my ussual taste, but the premise of a high school girl doubled as ghost writer for erotic novel did intrique me a little. So, I read it. All 33 chapters available. Ha! =)
Well, it feels like cheap knock off of Kaichou wa Maid Sama. All the conflict's background; acomplished student, dad's gone, debt, fragile mom, younger sibling, scandalous work, getting caught by a jerk schoolmate, and so on, and so on. Down to the fact that the boy was an illegitimate son of a verrrrryyy rich family. Wtf.
I confess, at first I just keep reading it to know how "differ" it would be from Maid Sama, but then it had its moments. Some times it's funny to see Momoka absurd-erotic fantasies. And Ranmaru did hit some soft spot with his tsundere acts. And in the latest chapters, the characters develope a bit, so not really that bad. Just... I prefer spending my time to re-read hilarious, lovey-dovey tsundere relationship, pact of conflicts and great ending - with handsome artwork of Maid-sama! manga, than this one. Sorryyyy....

April 2, 2021It started out being amusing with bits of smut, but it started to get really tedious around volume 10. I have no time to spend on something that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

It doesn’t start off great and I’m not sure I like the series premise at all but I’m gonna read more volumes since they’re short to see if it gets better.

Okay, so here’s the gist of the story: the MC oversees her high school’s “hot guy” having sex with the English teacher. As a ghost erotic writer out of ideas, she decides to use what she saw in a story. He finds out her identify and demands she be his slave or he’ll oust her.
*quirk eyebrow* Really?
I found the love interest repulsive and extremely unlikable. Stopped reading after the first chapter.

3.5 stars. Just here to say this is a highly problematic manga, but I couldn't put it down. I read it at a time when I wanted a fluffy/old school escape and was intrigued by the set-up for the heroine.

Iseng bangeettt saya ya baca rekomendasi dari manga browser. Tapi ngga papa, it's quite worth it Kok.
Ceritanya sih sebenarnya cukup klise. Awalnya ketika pertama mendapat rekomendasi ini, saya baca sekilas, kok ada unsur Slavery disini. Langsung tutup ngga jadi baca. Ternyata saya balik lagi baca, terus keterusan...
Ceritanya khas shoujo, macam Hana Yori Dango atau Ookami Shoujo dan sejenisnya. Shiina Momoko adalah gadis biasa saja di sekolahnya. Yang menjadikannya tidak biasa adalah dia merangkap menjadi penulis novel erotika di sebuah majalah. What!!! Erotika??!! Saya ngga tau seberapa banyak pembaca novel erotika di Jepang-- mengingat banyaknya genre ecchi, smut, yaoi, Yuri, hen*ai, dan mungkin masih banyak lagi-- mengingat Momoko bisa survive dengan gaji sebagai penulis novel eroro begini. Dan ironisnya, meski imajinasinya tentang erotisme di novelnya, ternyata si Momoko ini masih GADIS!! Apa dia banyak nonton atau membaca yang berhubungan dengan dunia ena ena itu, tidak terlihat di sepanjang cerita ini.
Inui Ranmaru adalah cowok ganteng, model, playboy kelas kakap yang kebetulan mengetahui kedok Momoko. Dia yang waktu itu tengah asyik indehoy dengan guru bahasa Inggris nya, tertangkap basah oleh Momoko. Karena diburu deadline majalah, jadilah Momoko menulis kisah erotis tentang guru dan model. Ngoahahahahaha... Ya jelas ketahuan lah. Meski model ganteng, ternyata si Ranmaru ini juga cerdas :))
Ya karena ketahuan inilah, Momoko meminta Ranmaru untuk merahasiakan identitasnya sebagai penulis cerita erotis. Sebagai gantinya, Momoko harus menjadi babunya atau budaknya. Jangan salah dengan kata budak disini. Momoko tidak otomatis menjadi budak nafsu Ranmaru, dia hanya setiap hari membuatkan bento untuk model cakep ini. Selesai? Oh tidak... Ranmaru yang tau kalo Momoko ini ternyata masih virgin, dia gatal sekali ingin mengambil sesuatu yang berharga yang sudah dijaga Momoko selama 17 tahun. Usahanya sayang sekali sering kali gagal. Dan kegagalan berkali kali ini yang bikin ketawa ngakak sepanjang manga.
Saya belum kelar sih baca manga sepanjang 36 chapter ini. Konfliknya lebih kompleks dari sekedar master-slave nya. Tapi tentu ada sisi kehidupan dari keduanya yang dibahas dan sering kali menyentuh. Rasa kesepian Ranmaru di tengah keluarga yang kaya raya serta ketenaran sebagai model, dan kerja keras Momoko memenuhi deadline penulisan hingga riset tentang kehidupan para host club' yang terkadang membahayakan dirinya juga cukup menyentuh.
Overall, saya suka dengan cerita macam BDSM yang ngga ada penyiksaan nya ini sama sekali. Imajinasi Momoko saja yang kadang absurd Dan bikin ngakak kejengkang tiap kali ia memikirkan ide apalagi untuk kisah eroro berikutnya. Ohya, di mangapark, manga ini masuk kategori 'smut' meski setelah saya baca penjelasan smut itu tidak ada di cerita utama. Ada di kisah dalam cerita eroronya Momoko. :D :D
Lanjut dulu ke chapter 23.

I really like the concept, a high school girl writing smutty novels is a pretty good set up for fun shenanigans. The art is absolutely gorgeous too, it's definitely my taste when it comes to manga and anime, the characters, the sets, and the backgrounds all look so clean and good! The actual story isn't my favorite so far. I like our MC, Momoko, she's funny and pretty relatable, but our ML is a bit too much of an asshole and a playboy for my liking (man-whore male leads are so overrated). He has his nice moments, and he obviously has a sad backstory, I just hope he can have some really good character development, and can be kinder to our MC.

The story was ok but not what I would normally read. This manga is about a virgin high school girl that writes erotica under her father's pen name because he passed away, her mother is sick and it's the only way for her to get money to take care of bills and her little brother. I had a little trouble with the attitude of the guy he was a real jerk sometimes. It took me two days to read not because of the story but because I don't read a lot of manga and I kept reading it the wrong way. I'm not sure if I'll continue.
December 25, 2017
It was not something extraordinary- the same kind of shoujo where a plain girl meets a hot boy by fate (or by accident) and they fall in love with each other. It had some funny moments, and it wasn't boring either, but the story was certainly not my type.
January 13, 2024
Took me surprise actually very touching and funny. Momo is a teenage girl who is also an erotic novel writer ever since her father passed away and she had to become his ghost writer in order to pay back all his debts. Ranmaru is heartthrob male model and when he bumps into Momo sparks fly.

This book is absolutely ridiculous in its premise: a “pure” virgin writing (really bad/cheesy) erotica? And yet the characters are endearing and it’s actually pretty fun.

review for the whole series (status: still ongoing)
funny, entertaining and a very good read for relaxing.

This story is so spicy! The guy is clearly a tsundere, and I am not sure how I feel about them romantically yet. I need to try out one more volume before I know for sure.

This is the first typical shojo manga I’m really getting into. Then again maybe it’s not so typical since it is pretty mature at times

Unfortunately this was a miss for me. Maybe I'm not in the right mood for a story like this and I'm not sure if I'll continue reading the following volumes in the future.
October 24, 2024
So I kind was hoping for more of a bully romance. But its just black mail. Its okay just seems really juvenile for erotica (i mean the "writing" for her stories) but it was enjoyable.
September 26, 2025
Thought it would get better as I continued reading but it only got worse. I don’t think manga erotica is for me.
December 13, 2012
While this does have smut in it, the main character is a virgin who currently ghostwriting for her father, and writing erotica to top it off. It's a secret, yet when a popular model discovers her secret and threatens to expose her secret, she becomes his slave. This isn't really like other smut manga. Most of the smut that happens in this series is actually in the erotica that Momoko writes. Sure there are plenty of characters who want to do it, or are even in the middle of doing it when they get caught out. So it's not really as smutty as some other smut mangas.
What I like about this manga is probably the comedy, but also the development of the male character. He's not a brooding asshole like many male love interests in shoujo manga. He's not even the quiet guy who doesn't like to be bothered alot. In fact, he feels real. He's interested in nearly everything, and he's blunt, commenting on everything when he disagrees with it. He does nice stuff on whim (sometimes not thinking about other people too, but always with good intentions and always making the choice after hearing about something Momoko had never tried). Ranmaru and Momoko have a really cute relationship that also has a special kind of chemistry that develops as the story moves on. I like how they are comfortable with each other and almost act like a couple even though they don't confess to each other for many twenty or so chapters. I also like how Momoko worries over her feelings, yet always has faith in Ranmaru and doesn't doubt him. Though she is a bit naive, and there are times later on, around the middle volumes (when another character appears who I kind of really dislike) when I did disagree and kind of really hate her choices. But overall, I do love this manga a lot. It really does help when there's a whole lot of comedy. Oh and not to mention the Ranmaru and Kouta (Kouta is Momoko's brother, and whom Momoko is looking after while their mother is in hospital, very ill) moments. They're really adorable, and I love how Ranmaru treats Kouta like a little brother or son. They have great chemistry! And there's so much adorableness.

It's not the greatest series I have read, but it isn't bad so far and I look forward to reading more.
The basic story is a high school girl, Shinna Momoko, is ghost writing erotica novels for her father who has passed away so that she can afford to take care of her younger brother and pay for her mother's hospital bills. Very few people know that she is an erotica novelist except her family, publisher, and an attractive model who discovers her secret and makes her become his slave to keep the secret.
The series is described as ecchi - but the only thing so far (I've only read this volume at this point) that could count under that label is the wording she uses in her novels. You get to read small excerpts of the books that she writes while she looks for inspiration.
I like the humor and sincerity that the main male character, Inui Ranmaru, occasionally shows for Momoko. She is obviously uncomfortable with his advances and his general demeanor (that of one who sleeps with anyone who will have him, and since he is a model, that is a lot of people), but it is clear that he is in need of someone to be a true friend. His heart is in need.
It's not a very original story in any sense of the word, but it is written in a cute style. I'll update when I read the second volume.
(I'm reading on an online Manga site - they only have 26 chapters posted so far, and I've read the first volume, which was four chapters I believe. So my updates will be when they update once I get caught up.)
