About Eiken

Here is what Eiken (Eiken: Eikenbu yori Ai wo Komete) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, school and ecchi anime by J.C.Staff (2003). The premise: To some people, Densuke Mifune looks like the luckiest man in the realm. Thanks to a chance encounter with the brilliant, beautiful, busty, but extremely shy Chiharu Shinonome, Eiken: Eikenbu yori Ai wo Komete sees Densuke being forcibly invited to join the mysterious Eiken Club.

Also worth knowing: Led by Kirika Misono, she recruited Densuke both for his completely boring, unassuming nature and his completely accidental groping of Chiharu’s chest. Despite the fact that he’s now surrounded by insanely busty women, Densuke can’t catch a break to save his life. All of his tries to get closer to Chiharu end up backfiring, making him look like a deviant pervert.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.

Production & Appeal

J.C.Staff is the studio behind Eiken, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 4.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. It aired in 2003, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
