Futari Ecchi (ふたりエッチ Futari Etchi) (German: Manga Love Story), or Step Up Love Story, is a manga series by Katsu Aki (克・亜樹, a pen name).
Futari Ecchi is a story about a newlywed couple in their mid-twenties. Both virgins when married, the story chronicles their sexual explorations. The manga combines both pornographic elements as well as factual and informative elements. The title Futari Ecchi ("two person ecchi") is a play on a slang term for masturbation, hitori ecchi ("single person ecchi"). A four-episode anime OVA series was produced in 2002 and 2003. There is one issue completely set around the sexuality of women called Futari Ecchi for Ladies and an artbook with the title Yura Yura.
Futari Ecchi tells the story of Makoto and Yura Onoda, newlyweds in Tokyo. Many comedic complications get in their way, from nosy relatives to interfering co-workers, but they do love each other very much. So far, there are 32 volumes released. They are released in Young Animal magazine.
Characters
- Makoto Onoda (小野田 真 Onoda Makoto) is a 25-year-old junior salaryman. He was introduced to Yura through an omiai. He is very critical of his own sexual abilities.
- Yura Onoda (小野田 優良 Onoda Yūra) is Makoto's bride. Also twenty-five years old, Makoto is the first man she has ever had sex with. She is loving, but extremely naïve on sexual matters and too shy to try something new by herself.
- Rika Kawada (河田 梨香 Kawada Rika) is Yura's younger sister. Experienced and promiscuous, she constantly teases and goads both Makoto and Yura into improving their "night life."
- Miyuki Kikuchi (菊池 みゆき Kikuchi Miyuki) is a secretary at Makoto's office. She had a long-standing crush on Makoto while he had been working as her home tutor but never told him. She has attempted unsuccessfully to seduce Makoto on at least one occasion, and has met Yura at least twice.
- Kyoko Omiya (大宮 杏子 Ōmiya Kyōko) is Makoto's second cousin and an obstetrician and gynecologist. At the request of Makoto's mother, she moved in next door to the Onodas to encourage them to reproduce. She is thirty years old and still a virgin, and worries that she may be "running out of time."
- Akira Onoda (小野田 明 Onoda Akira) is Makoto's older brother. He is very nosy, and frequently pesters Makoto about his sex lifea and fancies himself as Makoto's tutor on the topic of pleasuring the wife.
- Jun Onoda (小野田 淳 Onoda Jun) is Makoto's naive younger sister. Her experiencese and introduction into the sexual world are followed through out the series. There was a one-chapter 'side-story' of sorts showing her sexual exploits with her boyfriend.
Style and theme
There are many scenes in the series that look like they are actually happening but are then revealed to be the sexual fantasies of Makoto or another character. This means there are many scenes of Makoto having sex with other characters, while in truth he only has sex with Yura. One of the goals of the series seems to be explaining how to maintain a happy, monogamous relationship.
One of the fetishes explored in the series is cosplay.
