List - 7 Mostly Harmless Dirty Old Men
Dirty old men are a dime a dozen in anime, but at some point, an unspoken rule was established that the level of perversion is greater than or equal to grandpa's fighting prowess. 2013-06-15

Interesting character developments and comic book-style twists are the norm in this generally fun second half. Some may find the plot twists to be irksome, but they don't keep it from being entertaining.

Missions of Love GN 2
Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.
