The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life is a pretty interesting hentai anthology. Half of the book isn’t an anthology at all, but instead a series of six chapters about the Katsura Family. The other half of the book, meanwhile, consists of five standalone chapters that aren’t related to the shenanigans of the Katsura household. Having these two different collections featured in the book gives you the best of both worlds, providing a long and continuous story as well as a handful of shorter, unique tales of sexual adventure.
Unfortunately, the end result of this kind of volume is that, in the case of The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life, there isn’t a whole lot of variety when it comes to the characters in the stories. Take the six-chapter Katsura Family story, for example. This part of the book is focused on Shinobu Katsura, a slender and sexy stay at home mother with incredible breasts and a perky butt. When her teenage daughter goes to school and her husband heads out for work, she’s immediately pestered by her annoying college-aged playboy neighbor Kawakami. He relentlessly flirts with her day after day, until one day he gives up and grovels at her feet to be able to sleep with her. She can’t help but be impressed by how serious he is about this, but before she can finish rejecting him one last time, he ties her up and decides to force himself upon her instead.
At first, she’s resistant and repulsed by Kawakami. The more she experiences his dick, though, the more she starts to accept the situation. Eventually, she comes to enjoy her time fooling around with Kawakami, and the two begin to have a prosperous sexual relationship. Over the course of the six chapters, the only major development is the twist of Shinobu’s daughter falling for Kawakami, as well, leading to the two of them sharing their blonde boy-toy while keeping it secret from the husband. It’s a sexy story, to be sure, and the way Shinobu slowly gives in to temptation and goes from hesitantly embracing Kawakami’s lust to downright clinging to him every possible moment was really entertaining and erotic.
As I mentioned earlier, though, The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life has a sore lack of female variety in it, and this saga of the Katsura Family themselves is the biggest offender. Shinobu and her teenaged daughter are almost identical in build, hair-style and face, and they’re the only two women to have any sexual exploits in this story. I straight up couldn’t tell them apart in some pages, and while they’re certainly gorgeous, the similarities in their designs proved to be too much of a distraction. The anthology chapters rectify this somewhat, featuring a variety of other kinds of girls. While they all share really similar body types, they’ve at least got different faces and fashions that breath some much-needed fresh air into the artistic variety of this volume.
The lack of variety in characters is disappointing, to be sure, but it’s balanced out by the gorgeous art style and attention to detail from the talented hands of Higenamuchi. Every girl in this manga, whether they’re a mature older woman or a slender college student, has an adorably soft and round face coupled with a small and petite frame. The way these small yet curvy bodies contrast with the tall, rugged man of each story is a wonderful sight. Even better are the sexy faces they make as they engage in the act, with expressive eyes and watering mouths that portray their lust perfectly. The sex scenes in each story are drawn with magnificent detail, bodies clinging to each other passionately and engaging in a bunch of different sexually appetizing acts. There’s gorgeous detail put into every inch of sexual anatomy in The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life, making the uncensored nature of the artwork in this volume an absolute treat.
One of the standout anthology stories in The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life is probably Summer Time. In this, a young man named Daiki comes home from baseball practice to see an unfamiliar blonde bombshell sitting in the living room with his parents. When she greets him with familiarity, he can’t help but be confused because he has no idea who she is. It isn’t until she jogs his memory by donning a pair of glasses that he remembers who she is; Satoko, the black-haired next-door neighbor he used to play with as a kid. Daiki has a hard time accepting how much she’s changed, though. She used to have black hair and wear nothing but tracksuits, and now she’s got luscious sandy locks and is wearing the tiniest of tops and shortest of shorts. When he comes across her asleep in the living room, later on, he becomes entranced by just how sexy she’s become. What starts as some innocuous lip touching soon escalates into him going all the way with his childhood friend as she stays sleeping through the entire encounter.
I appreciated this story a lot because of how much of a breath of fresh air Satoko was as a character. After six chapters of the black-haired Katsura family, it was nice to see some variety with a tall and busty blonde-haired beauty like Satoko. The art of the chapter is gorgeous, too. Not only are the sex scenes incredible, but the lighting and composition of each panel perfectly illustrate the hot and quiet vibe of an empty home during the summer. Summer Time is a simple story, but it’s elevated immensely by the incredible art of Higenamuchi.
The Katsura Family’s Daily Sex Life is a bit of a mixed bag. The variety of stories and characters isn’t very high. Half of the book consists of the somewhat repetitive sexual exploits of the Katsura Family, weighing down the pacing of the anthology somewhat. Despite that, though, the art of Higenamuchi is downright gorgeous, and if you don’t mind plenty of similar-looking girls, you’re likely to have a great time reading through this anthology.
