Plenty of ecchi isekai manga feature a goddess who summons a guy from Japan to complete some grand task. It’s only incidental when that protagonist ends up with a harem following him around. Well, Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens (Seinaru Otome to Himegoto wo) turns the harem-building into the entire purpose of the isekai summoning, and the goddess wants this lucky gentleman with a library of lewd games in his mind to ply his expertise on her own nuns.

Let’s talk about the guy who wrote and drew the giant naked goddess. Hirameki Bonjin released the original Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens manga series on July 20th, 2024. Kodansha has since published eleven volumes in Young Magazine Web.
The Divine Tales of Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens
This manga is a big mixed bag of all good things. First, it’s funny as heck: the Goddess of the Four Flowers summons Itsuki Kusaka to be the newest Sage who teaches the four goddess candidates all sorts of naughty things. Itsuki gets kidnapped to a city where men aren’t allowed to get busy with nuns who have never even met a man. It turns out that these chaste maidens need to experience sex to become proper goddesses.
To be a proper and pure goddess, a goddess must also be lewd and perverted. Now that’s my kind of goddess. It’s not a joke, either. The first nun who receives Itsuki’s hands-on education gets stronger miracle magic. There’s actual plot here. Also, sex education. Yep, the magic teaches readers how to really ring a girl’s bell. It’s worth a read for that alone. Itsuki is also very mindful of the girls’ feelings, which I really liked to see. He’s not diving into a harem pile; he goes at their pace before, during, and after. Mindful harem protagonists are hard to find these days.
The Innocent and Lewd Girls of Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens
The main four nuns are named after flowers, as per the goddess’s name. Lily is the first girl to receive Itsuki’s guidance. She’s innocent, pure, and devout enough to let Itsuki get her off in front of the Goddess of the Four Flowers and her three friends. It’s great to see innocent girls slowly become lewd. Rose is more against getting with a man she’s never met, but she comes around to him.
Lupina is another innocent girl who wants to be like the goddess, and Talia is straight-up lewd. It’s nice when a harem has some variety. The girls accept the goddess’ edict because of their faith, but I like that they’re still uncertain and embarrassed by the entire thing. The Goddess of the Four Flowers is just great, but I hate that her hair covers her chest. But you can’t go wrong with a giant naked goddess. She also lives in that building, which means we see her often.
The Divine Art of Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens
Let’s start with the most important question: is this censored? Besides the goddess’ convenient hair strands, no. There’s no divine light or convenient cloth. The girls’ body types are as varied as their personalities, which makes it easy to tell them apart. Team Plot and Team Justice are well represented in this holy building. Their expressions stand out, too. The artist did a great job there.
The sex positions are well posed, too. That goes hand-in-hand with the nature of the book, of course. Itsuki’s guidance ring goes out of its way to make sure Itsuki can do his job, like when it morphed his arm into sex slime so he could teach Talia about anal sex. Yep, his ringer grew longer, then formed bumps. Dang fine art, there. To top it all off, I love the goddess, and I hope she gets involved more. You really can’t go wrong with a giant nude goddess.
A Sage-like Conclusion
On its face, this is an isekai where the protagonist gets handsy with a bunch of girls who have never met a man. However, Itsuki is mindful of his situation, even if taking his time and being considerate of their feelings postpones his return home. The sex education bits also seem pretty realistic, like with Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun.
Secret Rites with the Holy Maidens handily gets a 5/5 on the Megumi rating scale. That score goes up if Itsuki gets handsy with the giant goddess.
