Opis

Revisiting a setting of his biting pick-up book parody How To Pick Up Japanese Chicks And Doom Your Immortal Soul, Josh Muggins concocts this smooth and fizzy cocktail celebrating his career at the fabled N. University of Yokohama. There, surrounded by affectionate students possessed of breathtaking beauty and far superior intelligence, he somehow fumbles his way through seventeen years of encounters that are by turns hilarious and touching but, alas, nonsexual. (Unless, that is, you count shaving his head for him as a sexual act, as Muggins conveniently does.) We meet the "faithful correspondent" Kotoko, who obliviously cows Muggins with her vastly superior volume of experience; "last intern" Kuni, whose tenuous hold on virginity becomes a cause of ceaseless concern; serial buttocks-grabber "Shojo M"; erotic yawner Ruriko; and the worldly Kiko, who seeks to trade displays of cleavage and domestic services for academic credit. Muggins vividly draws the N. University campus and environs as a personal heaven, populated with powerful and awe-inspiring "chicks" (as he cheekily calls them), saturated with music and joy, but-again, much to his regret-almost totally devoid of sex.
