Older but mysterious. That’s the ticket. But wait a minute, Asami is neither old nor mysterious. So where did her uncensored mystery artwork come from???
Anime
Welcome back to what is looking like the third of five BD fanservice reviews for Okusama wa Joshikousei (My Wife is a High School Girl).
Once again if you want official nudity, you can get it. From the manga and artbook. But not from the anime although there is a good amount of almost-nudity and fanservice.
Please do check out the manga fanservice compilation from Axist and BD fanservice compilation from delmogeny if you haven’t already. Both of them are excellent.
This time we are going to start off with some mystery artwork before talking about episodes 09 – 14.
Mystery Art
I went looking for more fan art after YouNoThatman found fan edits which I used in the last review. Then I found the mystery piece of artwork below. It sure looks like a fan edit since it’s uncensored and it’s the size a wallpaper would be. But … sites like Sankakucomplex and Konachan list it as official artwork by KOBAYASHI Hiyoko. The tags could incorrect but there were other image sites listing it as official artwork too. Plus I found a forum posting from five years ago that said it was the latest promo art for the manga. Since the manga turned into borderline hentai, uncensored artwork would not be too surprising but since uncensored artwork is not legal in Japan, it couldn’t be used as promo art inside Japan. (Maybe as part of an international release?) So it’s a mystery for now. I do lean towards a fan edit though. If anybody has any more information, please leave a comment.
Here’s the original art from the manga for comparison.
Episodes 09 + 10
These mini-episodes are mostly slice-of-life but with an all too brief bath scene. Sakura does scheme to make another move on danna-sama only to find out about Asami’s secret marriage.

Episodes 11 + 12
These mini-episodes are nice! How often do you get a beach scene and an onsen scene and a kimono scene in the same regular episode??? Asami looks great in a bikini and in her birthday suit and in a kimono…
Also time to be jealous of baka shota who gets to faceplant his face into Asami’s bare boobs and hang out with naked women at an onsen…

Episodes 13 + 14
These mini-episodes return to slice-of-life domestic life. But the nude fantasies also return which is nice. And baka shota gets away with groping Asami right in front of her husband. How politically incorrect is that???
The slow pans over Asami panty shots were fun. More anime should do that.
Oh, and high school girls in tight-fitting bloomers … just have the “it” factor.

Official Art
Once again, your best bet for official art with nudity is the manga.
There is some nudity in the artbook but not a large amount. I will be spreading those images out amongst several fanservice reviews so please be patient. In the meantime there is a good amount of sexy and service-y official art…
[The good news is that I think I found more official art with nudity while looking into the mystery art and hope to include more in my next review.]
Thoughts
Once again, this show is not for everybody. It is very slow and very dated and can be frustrating to watch. But if your tolerance is high enough, you can find some nice artwork, a really nice chubby girl design and adult women acting greedy, needy and bitchy at times. I enjoyed the anime starting with the character designs and artwork. I also got a chuckle out of watching a harem-king-in-the-making while he was still a shota. He really upped his game in these episodes. Groping Asami in front of her husband and planting his face into her bare boobs while they were naked in an onsen. So politically incorrect but so amusing…
[And yes, I still think Asami is a chubby girl design even if I’m the first to admit that she doesn’t look chubby. Not all chubby girls look chubby. Not all big girls look big. Etc. IRL too. The best chubby girl designs like Asami and Lucy Heartfilia don’t look chubby which is one reason I like this show.]
Notes
This anime was created as a series of mini-episodes each with it’s own title but combined into regular episodes for DVD and BD releases. I used the same numbering system as the raws. Thus what would usually be episode 05 is shown as episode 09 + 10 for this review.
This anime originally aired in SD and was upscaled for the BD release. Raws were not easy to track down for this show. I used the best of what I had at the time even if they turned out to be upscaled BD raws.
