Santa Training Session

Editorial Review

★3.2 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

Holiday-themed adult BL remains a niche corner of the doujin market, and this work plants itself squarely in the comedic absurdist vein rather than pursuing atmospheric eroticism. The setup—a workplace training scenario repurposed through the Santa framework—follows familiar group-sex dynamics, but the reindeer inclusion signals an intentional embrace of surreal humor over conventional fantasy.

The boss-instructor and senpai-kouhai power dynamics anchor the narrative, providing the hierarchical friction that drives most of these scenarios. The muscular tag distribution suggests a uniform physique focus across the cast, which streamlines visual appeal for readers seeking consistent anatomical preferences. At seventeen pages in full color, this lands in the extended single-chapter range, giving enough breathing room for scene transitions and character moments while maintaining pacing appropriate to the group-sex premise. The comedic potential of the “reindeer getting tangled up” in proceedings hints that production values lean toward playful exaggeration rather than serious eroticism, which will significantly affect how different readers experience the material.

The combination of workplace hierarchy, group dynamics, and overt surrealist humor is genuinely uncommon in adult BL manga—most competing works either commit fully to serious power-play fantasy or strip away professional framing entirely. This entry seems to occupy an awkward-comedy middle ground that appeals to a very specific sensibility.

This works best for readers who enjoy absurdist sexual comedy, appreciate muscular character designs, and find the contrast between mundane training scenarios and explicit group content entertaining rather than jarring. Viewers seeking atmospheric or genuinely romantic group dynamics should look elsewhere.

A competent execution of a conceptually bizarre premise that succeeds or fails entirely on whether you find “Santa training gone wrong” erotic or hilarious.
