Futari Ecchi (Japanese: ãµããã¨ããHepburn: Futari Ecchi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Katsu Aki. It has been serialized in Young Animal since 1997, with the chapters later combined into tankÅbon volumes by Hakusensha, of which to date there are seventy-three. The series follows a newlywed couple in their mid-twenties, both virgins when they married, and chronicles their sexual explorations. The manga combines erotic elements with factual and informative statistics. Its title Futari Ecchi ('two person ecchi') is a play on a slang term for masturbation, hitori ecchi ('single person ecchi'). The series has 29.5 million copies in print and is most famous for being a how-to guide combined into a story.[2][3]
Two spin-off manga have been released, Futari Ecchi for Ladies focusing on the sexuality of women and Futari Ecchi Gaiden: Akira, The Evangelist of Sex focusing on Akira.
