About this deal

With no negative bias towards the harem and misunderstanding genre, this manga was just a letdown through and through. There’s no better way to describe this manga than the word “stupid.” From the plot, characters, developments, and comedy, it is all “stupid”

Man, this series is brilliant. What happens when you take the over-the-top comedies and misunderstandings of Spy×Family but give it an ecchi rating? You get Honey Trap Shared House, and much like the name implies, this series focuses on the art of seduction. For those who don't know, honey trapping is a technique that spies and agents will use to seduce their targets to either get information from them or convert them to their side. We start wholesome with two young orphans who promise to marry each other when they get older, only for them to grow up into Mr. and Mrs. Smith on opposing sides of an ongoing war. They don't think the other knows that they're a spy and, therefore, try to use seductive tactics to recruit them over. Initially, the plot seemed somewhat original and unique, but it became an absolute cringe fest mixed in with the unreasonable turn of events, further solidifying the manga’s cringe nature. To be specific, the plot introduces character after character with the same formula while resolving each issue with the same resolution; the unpredictably of the manga, which is what made the manga palatable, was lostCOVER Corporation Announces hololive English VTuber Gawr Gura Collaboration with Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium Disclosure: Kadokawa World Entertainment (KWE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation, is the majority owner of Anime News Network, LLC.

But that's not the case; I am a simple man, and I'm not asking for my bawdy trash to be overly clever, just that it be stupid in unique, interesting ways. People just living together in a house, getting into sexy accidents? Yawn. Those people living in that house because they're all undercover spies and are engineering sexy accidents to coerce the other spies over to their side? You, keep talking. Sure, most of the horny happenings are technically of the vanilla variety glimpsed in many other manga like this. However, recontextualizing them as tactical espionage action adds an extra layer to make the humor accompanying the horniness more sputter-worthy. The manga has some bright spots with the art and comedy, however, that’s only enough to make this idiotic, cringe fest readable. It's silly, but damn is it entertaining. Sometimes, the sheer lengths these characters will go to keep up their façade is hilarious, and the sexy scenes are funny because they're always framed around this veil of awkwardness due to all of the characters' experiences. Despite that, it has a solid heart, and it can get surprisingly intense when it wants to. This is a spy thriller, first and foremost, with a lot of ecchi comedy sprinkled throughout. It does an excellent job creating that balancing act, and I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good time.
