Unnecessary Fanservice

Don't you think it's just way over the top, I mean don't get me wrong, I'm ok with some fanservice here & there, but it's gotten to the point where in every panel of every chapter consisting of any female character (bar the little girls ofc) there is a clear focus on their busty instead of having a clear picture of their faces, which I find rather annoying, so it's led me to lower my rating for this manga, even though many people may consider this a minor "problem", I just think it truly is unnecessary, hence the title.

Just wanted to get that off of my chest & of course i'd like to know your thoughts on this.

yeah i think without all of that the manga would be better.
"Non mihi, non tibi, sed nobis" Which means "It's not for me, It's not for you. It's for everyone"

Holy shit guys. You'd think by now people would know that fanservice is part of HSDK.

Is it necessary? Of course not. Is it good? Up to your preferences. Should you complain about it? Not when we're 522 chapters in.

There is a "focus on their busty"? Of course. It's fanservice. I can see everyone's faces (whether they have awesome boobs or not) clearly though
"From Baby Steps to Giant Strides"

This applies to life as well as my updating of my anime list

Fan-service is unnecessary by definition, so that's a redundant statement.

Exactly, it's just ridiculous and really lets the series down. It doesn't look sexy it's just laughable and desperate.

I was reading a chapter recently and in one panel Miu was saying something but instead of seeing her face it was just a panel with Miu's bum with a speech bubble....

So apparently her bum has the ability to speak, it's ridiculous.

It doesn't bother me personally. But of course, I'm saying this as someone who likes fanservice. And Matsuena draws such a wide cast of attractive women (especially Shigure) to where it just wouldn't feel right without it. But I can understand how the fanservice might be too much for some people. Especially with how explicit and random it gets as you get further into the series.

I already added that to my plan-to-read list. I'll probably take a look into it when I'm done the Kenichi manga.

I'm weighing in on this pretty late, but I picked up my tankabon of volume 61, and relived all of these feelings over again. I feel like there was a major shift in chapter 380 art style wise where women just became excuses to fill the panels with just ass shots, and they stopped having cool fight scenes (except shigure, mostly). Miu used to be my favorite character because she had a really acrobatic fighting style, and could probably go toe to toe with any of the Yomi disciples. But she eventually just became constant, poorly executed shots of T & A.

I'm okay with fan service, but once it starts making the characters look less cool, or they stop being funny or creative, thats when I start having issues.
It's even sadder that Syun sensei continue this trend in his other series. He just traded out Miu for a Shigure type of main love interest.

there's no such thing as "fanservice" shit who the fuck gave it that name fanservice and when you deliver something the fan wants to see fanservice not echi what the manga does and perverted things designs or things like that and also the author knows how to blend the echi well with the story so there's no such thing as "unnecessary" or some independent type shit if you're male or female if you don't like the designs then don't read asshole.

@scabab "Exactly, it's just ridiculous and really lets the series down. It doesn't look sexy it's just laughable and desperate" Same can be said with the manga you love that starts with the letter G which includes a dog licking some cooch (bleh). Don't throw stones at glass houses

@SOEMasterAgent You're right that was also ridiculous. Funny how two things of similar nature can be idiotic across two series.
