Synopsis This manga, by the creator of VIDEO GIRL AI, has become quite popular through the animated version. For those not familiar with the story, the schoolboy hero, Junta, is a nerd so hopeless with girls that the prospect of intimate contact with a girl makes him physically sick. As the story opens, he is in the apartment of gorgeous schoolmate Tomoko, who has a shower and then wraps herself in a towel. She invites him to play a little game. When she drops a piece of popcorn between her thighs and teasingly asks Junta to pick it up, this is too much for him and he vomits. Tomoko throws him out.
Enter Karin Aoi, a girl from the future, whose mission is to help counter over-population by finding a mega-playboy who will seduce hundreds of women who who give birth to hundreds of children with playboy genes ..well you get the idea. Karin intends to inject the proto-playboy with special DNA to alter his genes so that he doesn't become the playboy. The person she has identified as the proto-playboy is... Junta.
Karin, alas, is rather incompetent. We can guess this as she arrives in futuristic garb and tries to be inconspicuous, giving instead the impression that she is dressed up for another Japanese festival. She does shoot Junta with her DNA gun, but will this stop Junta becoming the playboy or turn him into one?
Other characters include Ami, the nice girl-next-door, whose family hope she will marry Junta.

Review In style, the similarity to VIDEO GIRL AI is marked, and the principal chraracters bear a noticeable resemblance to those in the previous series. Junta has strange spiky hair, rather like a DBZ character. The girls are nicely drawn, but I feel the art does not reach the standards of that in VIDEO GIRL AI, and it's rather a one-joke story. The volumes have attractive colour jackets, each depicting a different girl. The storytelling is quite visual, and easy to follow on thumbing through.
