Yamada, ma première fois

This is my 4/10 mangaupdates review for the manga. The anime adapts most of it and goes of script towards the end while skipping some of the trashier parts so you can add 1/10 if you want or not: The 4-koma format puts a narrative and the comedic timing into way too artificial borders so it shouldn't be uses in a long form tale but this series fails as is it represents 9 full volumes of warmed up nothing. The leads are all just boring tropes as they include a tsundere protagonist, the clumsy but lucky love interest who constantly catches the lead in various stages of undress, the sheltered rich girl as a "rival" (who is even in love with her perfect brother), the cooler sibling and... Yamada further constantly monologues how she wants to have sex with at least a 100 boys, can't stop to masturbating at school and so on but then can't even get the one guy into her panties who is heads over heels for her for nearly 3 full years. I can only repeat that it takes the main couple, who are the only characters who get a plot, the entirety of their high school career to actually do something and the manga just ends with a graduation thereafter. What sort of sex focused rom-com would pull such a stunt and all the jokes present are the same ones you will find in all the other equally lame siblings. Look this series may be better than the author's previous trashy hentai but if this can't work as a comedy, romance or a porno then why down it exist again? The award winning and also animated Ping Pong Club (7,5/10), the satirical Jigokuren (8/10) and the out of control The Penisman by Sui "Tokyo Ghoul" Ishida (8/10) all prove that Japanese sex comedies have no excuses to suck or put you to sleep and if you want to read a highly explicit romance that cares to tell a story thicker then the paper it is printed on then go for Natsu no Zenjitsu (9/10), a 17+ comic by Image or Yanagida-kun to Mizuno-san (6/10) which is a "real" tsundere porno. The last one may suffer from the usual hentai problems but it accomplishes WAY more in 1/4 of the page count and i lastly gave up on Yoko's new 4-koma ecchi comedy (how original) after barely 2 chapters.

IVE never felt so excited watching an anime in a long time.

Yamada is a high school student who we will have to accompany in her immature try of discovering "the other sex".

The term "try" is actually on the positive side of the series, as not much is revelead, however in my opinion the series remains not ok for minors, especially for girls, as Yamada and Kanejo could lead to emulation.

It is clearly fun, it looks kind of shojo version of more famous Hajimete no gal: in comparison B. H. have more tenuos the caterpillar part (although still present and ruining the otherwise awesome intro theme) but in contrast it looks less realistic in some situation (fan service I guess).

I also would have appreciated a slower peace, they could have made at least 24 episodes instead of the just 12.

Its a great show for anyone with an open mind and a hopeful heart. Its extremely funny and entertaining. I really wish they would bring it back or continue it but i'm pretty sure they wont. Still a great show for people of almost all ages. I wouldn't say let your kids watch the show but its a great show to watch with a girlfriend/SO. I guess you could call it an anime version of "How i met your mother". Just change the line to "How Yamada lost her V card". With all the raunchy lines and risqué scenes you might think you would be on the border of being a perv watching a show like this at first, but it has such a great way to tell its story that it keeps you coming back for more and such a great delivery of the lines and the voice actors that it makes you kinda reminisce about your own firsts loves. All the characters have some of the best material for growing up and having entertaining way of going through high school and the adolescent attitude towards the opposite/same sex.

It's not as funny as Konosuba but is still 'sitcom' funny, definitely not for children but for those who've been through the awkward stage of teenage relationships and their misunderstandings.

Yes, this show is all about Yamada popping her cherry but there's enough subplots to keep the story interesting and the comedic disasters that befall Yamada as she tries to reach her goal are quite funny. There isn't as much nudity as I expected and it's not what I would consider sleazy.
