Actual manga recommendation.
kimi wa 008
it's basically History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi x Kingsmen. By the author of HSDK.
I had no idea that this was a thing, and it's weird seeing all of these reused character designs.
The only character I don't really like is the lady-spy in charge of the seduction course.
She doesn't look like a sexy lady spy, she looks like a stripper.
Which might be the point, but... I can't tell which layer is the deception here.
Yor from Spy x Family looks like a sexy lady spy. Dignified, elegant, sexy, deadly.
This character looks like... she's about to jump out of a birthday cake and start taking her clothes off.
Which might be part of her cover, naturally, but...
She's just not suble enough. Like the lady-spy from Assassination classroom but even less subtle.
I mean, you can just directly see her nipples through her shirt, she says things like 'tee hee' and does the 'oops I dropped my pen' trick in the first minute of class starting.
It just feels like she's leaning into the sex-appeal far too blatantly.
A seduction-based spy should imply things, not just wave her nipples in your face and somehow magically make you collapse from that.
Still, aside from her the characters are all pretty cool.
The protagonist is a braver and more assertive version of Kenichi (although he's currently not very good in a fight) and the main girl is 'what if Shiguri was Miu?'
Edit: Later on that same character does take on a more serious tone and say that you can't just assume that half of the population of the world (all men) are fools, because it'll come back to bite you.
But...
Well, it sure feels like she's taking her students pretty lightly. Given that her opening gambit was so blunt and unsubtle.
Maybe it was deliberate? She wants it to be obvious to her students that she's tricking them?
Maybe not.
Granny is way better at this class than the lady is.
She teaches body-language and manipulation, instead of just 'how to wave your tits in a man's face'
