Yamada (山田)
Yamada is a high school girl who is best described as oversexed, flirtatious and lustful. She is particularly vain and is unabashed in flaunting her looks in public. Her goal in high school is to have sex with 100 guys; however, her insecurities as a virgin causes her to turn down any advances. She believes the first step towards realizing her dreams is to lose her virginity to an inexperienced boy; this leads her to pursue Takashi Kosuda after she accidentally falls on him at the bookstore.[ch. 1] Through the course of the series, Yamada tries to make advances on Kosuda, and becomes overly jealous whenever other girls interact with him. She eventually acknowledges she has feelings for him. Despite living at home with her younger sister, Yamada is unashamed in her licentious habits. She is an excellent student,[ch. 11] although that is partly attributed to her ability to read and memorize articles about sex.[ch. 253] At the conclusion of the manga series, author Yoko Sanri noted that she never managed to reveal Yamada's given name.[ch. 300:author's notes] Yamada is voiced by Yukari Tamura in Japanese, [3] and by Brittney Karbowski in English. [4]
Takashi Kosuda (小須田 崇, Kosuda Takashi)
Takashi Kosuda is Yamada's classmate and the target of her lust and affections. He is perceived by Yamada and their classmates as being nothing special, even "plain and ordinary".[ch. 3] When Yamada makes advances on him, he is initially taken in, but becomes confused and anxious because of her mixed signals. His hobby is landscape photography.[ch. 8] Over the course of the story, he develops feelings for Yamada while being totally oblivious that she only wants to be with him in order to lose her virginity. He is voiced by Atsushi Abe in Japanese, [3] and by Scott Freeman in English. [4]
Miharu Takeshita (竹下 美春, Takeshita Miharu)
Miharu Takeshita is Yamada's best friend and classmate. She is described as "dry and sarcastic", and a "foil for the loud, sex-obsessed Yamada". [5] Despite Yamada's prurient interests, she tries her best to help, even going so far as to invite Takashi and Yamada on a double date at the water park.[ch. 15] Yamada gives her the moniker "F-shita" as a reference to her cup size. Although she has a boyfriend who is a college student, she rarely talks about him because of Yamada's lewd prying,[ch. 15] and hinting that she lost her virginity after junior high school graduation.[ch. 79] Miharu is voiced by Yui Horie in Japanese, [3] and by Cherami Leigh in English. [4]
Mayu Miyano (宮野 まゆ, Miyano Mayu)
Mayu Miyano is the childhood friend of Kosuda, who lives directly across the street from her house. She is depicted as a shy, clumsy, yet busty girl with glasses.[ch. 20,22] Mayu has feelings for Kosuda but doesn't have the courage to confess to him, instead she tends to revert to cooking.[ch. 37] Because of her close history with Kosuda and her relatively large bust size, she is perceived by Yamada as a rival,[ch. 21,22] although Kosuda considers her totally sexually innocent[ch. 37] and a virgin.[ch. 73] By the series' end she has come to terms with Kosuda dating Yamada and has chosen to study at a college in another town in order to become more independent, unaware that a secret admirer has chosen to follow her to university in order to remain near her. She is voiced by Kana Hanazawa in Japanese, [3] and by Jad Saxton in English. [4]
Kyoka Kanejo (金城 京香, Kanejō Kyōka)
Kyoka Kanejo is a returning transfer student from America who joins Yamada's class in their second year. She is extremely wealthy,[ch. 52] and classifies herself as a perfectionist who can do everything, including modeling,[ch. 51] cooking[ch. 74] and sports.[ch. 46] After she finishes as a runner-up to Yamada in the school's beauty pageant,[ch. 29,45] she becomes obsessed with Yamada as a rival,[ch. 75,76] and declares to her that she will still steal her boyfriend,[ch. 76,101] However, she has an excessive complex over her brother Keiichi, and harbors a secret room full of pictures and objects that sport his image.[ch. 72-75] Kyoka is voiced by Yū Kobayashi in Japanese, [3] and by Kristi Kang in English.

Supporting characters

  • The Eros Deities (エロ神様, erogami-sama) act as the character's libido. [5] Yamada's Eros Deity takes on the appearance of a super deformed version of Yamada, but she has a white mustache, and floats on a pink cloud.[ch. 36] She occasionally narrates and recaps past events as well as breaks the fourth wall to address the audience. She is voiced by Rumi Shishido [3] and English dubbed by Alexis Tipton. [4] Eros Deities are also depicted for the other characters: Kosuda's Eros Deity wears a bathrobe, has a laid back attitude, and gives ineffective advice such as telling Kosuda to give up and go to bed,[ch. 96] but in the anime he more often stands in whenever Kosuda has an erection; [5] Mayu's Eros Deity is dressed like a magical girl [5] and gives innocent love advice such as suggesting that Mayu "indirectly kiss" Takashi with her cookies;[ch. 96] Kyoka's Eros Deity is a noblewoman with a fan; Miharu has two deities to represent her serious and her wild side; Chika's Eros Deity appears like a motion blur which indicates they are in sync with each other.[vol. 3:extra chapter]
  • Chika Yamada (山田 千夏, Yamada Chika) is Yamada's little sister. She is unaffected by Yamada's perverted nature. She is very popular, and often receives affections and gifts from boys because of her cuteness,[ch. 9,43] a trait she inherited from her mother.[ch. 60] This experience allows her to clearly see what is going on in Yamada's love life. Although she is visited by many boyfriends, when Yamada asks her to teach her how to have sex without fail, Chika replies that she cannot give an answer as she does not know how.[ch. 176] Chika is voiced by Asami Shimoda, [3] and English dubbed by Emerick Jade. [4]
  • Kazuki Kosuda (小須田 香月, Kosuda Kazuki) is Takashi's older sister; she is a college student who lives with him at home.[ch. 13] Though she often teases her brother, she deeply cares for him. She is not shy, and often walks around the house barely dressed despite her brother's presence, much to his objection.[ch. 16,26,130] She recognizes Yamada has interest in Takeshi early on when Yamada visits,[ch. 13] and helps them with advice throughout the series.

  • Daisuke Matsuo (松尾 大祐, Matsuo Daisuke) is Miharu's boyfriend who attends a nearby college. He occasionally appears in the story as he offers advice to Kosuda concerning his relationship with Yamada, and appears to be composed and insightful, although it is because he has previously heard the details from Miharu.[ch. 17] He is voiced by Yutaka Koizumi, [7] and English dubbed by Ian Sinclair.
  • Miss Akai (赤井先生, Akai-sensei) is Yamada's homeroom and P.E. teacher.[ch. 118] She initially pairs Kosuda and Yamada as representatives for their school's sports festival[ch. 118] after hearing that Kosuda announced that he likes Yamada during an informal beauty poll by the guys.[ch. 109] In the anime, she pairs them up for library duty. [8] She becomes concerned that Yamada and Kosuda might be fooling around after she finds them alone in the storeroom.[ch. 121] In the manga, during Christmas, while out jogging, she finds a distressed Yamada[ch. 184] and listens to her problems, but becomes shocked about her candid talk about sex.[ch. 186] Her anxieties of being single[ch. 97] and in her mid-20s[ch. 122] are compounded when she overhears Kosuda proposition Yamada at the school stairs,[ch. 198] and when Yamada writes that she wants to lose her virginity on her career counseling form.[ch. 230,231] Akai is voiced by Yūko Gibu, [7] and English dubbed by Cynthia Cranz.
  • Mami Misato (三郷 まみ, Misato Mami) is Yamada's classmate with the petite figure and hair buns. She is as boy obsessed as Yamada. She's the first one to fall for Keiichi Kanejo when he returns to Japan, even snapping a picture of him at the airport,[ch. 115] picking him as a "hot guy" at the sports day scavenger hunt,[ch. 131] making moves on him during the Christmas party,[ch. 165] and even goes as far as break into his estate sometime afterwards.[ch. 219] Later on, she becomes interested in an effeminate looking guy named Kawai Mizuki,[ch. 245] and even gets a brief makeover to look mature.[ch. 248-250] Mami is voiced by Megumi Iwasaki, [7] and English dubbed by Lara Woodhull.

Anime

An anime television series adaptation was announced in December 2009. [25] It was broadcast for 12 episodes on KBS, Tokyo MX, and other networks from April 2 to June 18, 2010. [26] [27] The opening song is "Oshiete A to Z" (おしえて A to Z) and its ending theme is "Hadashi no Princess" (裸足のプリンセス). Both theme songs are performed by Yukari Tamura, [28] and a maxi single containing the two themes was released on April 28, 2010. [28] An internet radio show was produced by Hibiki Radio to go with the anime. [29]

Funimation licensed the series with the title Yamada's First Time: B Gata H Kei, and released it on DVD and Blu-ray on January 31, 2012. [30] Funimation also released a Blu-ray limited edition that has a mousepad of Yamada. [5]

Reception

Anime News Network reviewed the first episode of the series as a preview for the spring 2010 anime season. Carl Kimlinger initially assessed the series as having "real promise", [31] and Theron Martin felt the comedy was on how Yamada focused on the sex side of a relationship rather than the emotional side, finding the first episode "fanboy-pandering", but somehow reticent about showing fanservice. [32] Tim Maughan noted that although the premise could be interpreted as a "ballsy teen-sex comedy" about the pressures teens feel about becoming sexually active, but noted that due to the 1 am screening time, the audience was "otaku men-children" rather than teens. [33] Zac Bertschy regarded it as "yet another in a long line of crappy anime sex comedies". [34] It fared well in an ANN review of the Complete Series Collection, Rebecca Silverman commented that although it was a "bit tasteless" it is "also a surprisingly clean, very funny show about one girl's realization that sex and emotion aren't totally divorced from each other." [5]

In July 2010, the anime team for the series posted a notice that they had received multiple threatening letters concerning the content and presentation of the anime. The team responded that the studio and its writers are not solely responsible for the content, the anime was handled by the production committee, and that they have reported the threats to the police.
