Lynn Okamoto is a popular manga author who you probably know from works like “Gokukoku no Brynhildr (Brynhildr in the Dark)” and “Elfen Lied“However, his most recent focus has been on extremely erotic works, as demonstrated with “Parallel Paradise“This latest work has been in serialization for over seven years and is so full of sex that you no longer even notice whether the story is progressing or not.

In case you didn't know, the synopsis of the work says: «A normal day at school takes a strange turn for Tada Youta when a strange apparition pushes him out of a third-story window. You wake up in a fantasy realm like no other. Not only are there dragons and knights, but all the inhabitants of this world are voluptuous girls. Men haven't been seen in the kingdom for thousands of years, so Youta is about to get very, very lucky. Whether Youta died or was transported to this place for mysterious and unknown reasons… either way, it's his version of paradise!».

Well, yes, as the protagonist is the only man in this other world and as women are extremely sensitive to male touch (they practically become eager for sex with the simple fact of him touching them), the story of “Paralelo Paraíso” is more than unique. And even though she's currently in her final arc, Lynn Okamoto hasn't missed a single opportunity to show sex in this story.

But why sacrifice story advancement to show sex scenes whenever you can? In fact, he referenced this in a recent Twitter post:

• «I'm currently drawing an erotic manga, so I think it's normal to have sex at least once per volume. So when I realize that it's been a while since I've shown sex, I rush to draw it. It's really fun to write like this.», he wrote on Twitter.

• «It wasn't my editor who told me to include sex at least once per manga volume, but something I decided for my work. If you are responsible for an erotic story, it is normal to include erotic content every week. However, doing this doesn't advance the story, so I gave up on the idea of showing sex in every chapter. So if you suddenly see a sex scene that you don't know where it came from, don't worry, it's because I realized that I haven't included sex in a while.“, he added.

And of course, his curious statements did not go unnoticed:

• «Parallel Paradise has been officially classified as an erotic manga by Okamoto-sensei himself.».
• «So the teacher thinks that sex is necessary from time to time, I think we agree».
• «The manga is a good example of how a manga artist can be more than just crazy.».
• «The story is very interesting but also very funny so it's a good manga».
• «I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but it's a good manga because it's a very funny story and makes you laugh.».
• «I'm not sure it's a good thing not to be a history buff.».
• «Well, if you don't have sex, that means death in that world.».
• «It's the only one of his works where people don't die.».
• «I would like Okamoto-sensei to take up Nononono again sometime in the future.».
