【Sci-Fi × Cute Girls!?】 Too Abnormal!? A Bizarre Mix of Surreal Comedy and Adorable Girls—And Somehow It Works! The Talked-About Abnormal Manga: There is something odd about her!

*There is something odd about her* is a slightly erotic and quite mysterious short story collection by Akihito Yoshitomi. The stories begin with the daily lives of unique characters such as Maaya, a girl who meets her future self, a scientist who invents a device that induces pleasure in women, and Yuichi, a boy overjoyed to suddenly gain an older sister. However, behind the scenes, mysterious lifeforms beyond human understanding begin to stir, gradually pulling readers into a world that defies common sense. A brilliant fusion of sci-fi, cute girls, and laugh-out-loud comedy, this work exceeds expectations in the most unexpected ways and will keep even first-time readers flipping the pages.

The greatest appeal of this work lies in its exquisite blend of adorable girls and its uniquely surreal story developments. Far from being just a “moe” piece, it is packed with eroticism and gags to the brim, yet maintains a refined sense of taste through its superb balance. No matter how absurd the plot gets, the cleanly drawn girls and natural backgrounds create a comfortable distance from reality, making it fair to call this “a manga you don’t need an excuse to read.”

Readers familiar with Yoshitomi-sensei's style might chuckle, thinking, “Here he goes again,” but as they read on, they’ll surely be captivated by the surprising development where all the short stories connect through a single, bold narrative thread. While placing lolicon-erotic motifs at the core, the work never stops at mere explicit depiction; instead, it skillfully concludes as a solid sci-fi story. Upon finishing, you may find yourself uplifted, wondering, “Wait, was this really a gag manga?” This work masterfully brings together gags, sci-fi, and cute girls into a single story—I wholeheartedly and confidently recommend it.
