It’s Not Indecent!! (3) – It Wasn’t Gross Edition

Editorial Review

The third volume of this age-gap comedy franchise lands squarely in the “wholesome lucky pervert” subgenre—a surprisingly durable niche that treats accidental fanservice as situational comedy rather than titillation. Against the current glut of more aggressive ecchi works, this series positions itself as deliberately restrained, using the “lucky accident” framing as a structural conceit rather than an excuse for exploitation.

What distinguishes this installment is its commitment to the salaryman-and-high-school-student dynamic as genuine relationship material rather than fantasy. The train incident premise is a familiar setup, but the “lucky ecchi without actual content” tag signals the work understands its own restraint—it’s playing with audience expectations about what this genre typically delivers, then deliberately withholding the expected escalation. The height difference tag, paired with the school/salaryman pairing, suggests the work mines comedy from physical mismatch and social awkwardness rather than power dynamics. At 68 pages for a continuation volume, this feels like a complete comedic arc rather than padding.

The “wholesome” positioning is crucial here. In BL manga specifically, age-gap stories often invite scrutiny; this work appears to navigate that by emphasizing the comedy and romantic sweetness over anything predatory in the dynamic. The repeated “It Wasn’t Gross Edition” subtitle frames the work as self-aware about its own premises—as if the previous volumes triggered concerns the creators are now playfully addressing.

This lands most effectively for readers fatigued by either explicit ecchi saturation or cynical BL romance. If you’re drawn to comedy-forward romance where the humor derives from character incompatibility and situational absurdity rather than sexualization, and you’ve developed affection for these specific characters across prior volumes, volume three delivers exactly what the franchise promises: escalation through incident and emotional beat, not explicit content.
