Perverto is just a regular 17-year-old...with the unavoidable nickname, "pervert." Unlike his namesake, he's actually quite naive when it comes to sexual matters; his first and only youthful romance having ended terribly. To escape his bad reputation, he transfers to a new school for a fresh start. But on his first day there, he's falsely accused of groping a girl named Hongdan on the subway. To make matters worse, she happens to be another new student who has just transferred to his new school, to his very class. The real pervert who framed him is a math teacher at his new school, too! The teacher is an expert at getting away with perverted behavior...and he's targeted Hongdan for more gropes. The girl possesses a voluptuous body and mysterious bruises, and Perverto is smitten with her. But when Hongdan expresses her romantic interest in him out of the blue, Perverto is reminded of the hurtful memories of his first love and runs away screaming. Will he survive his new school? The true nature of Perverto wiggles to the surface in volume 1 of this sexy new series!
Don't judge a book by its cover, or more accurately, by its title. This manwha looks at teenage angst created by developing physical maturity. Aiming for a new start at Sanghwang Private High School, 17-year-old Perverto observes a man groping a girl on the subway. In attempting to come to her rescue, Perverto gets accused of the harassment-and it is just Perverto's luck that the girl involved, strong, independent Hongdan, is also starting as a new student in his class. Perverto discovers that the molester from the train is the school's math teacher and vows to expose him. This teen novel begins and ends with flashbacks providing insight into why the naïve young Perverto has been forced to change schools. Youjung incorporates and alters photographs; the detailed and rich art melds from grainy black-and-white photos to the crisp lines of the artist. Each of the eight chapters begins with a page showing a young woman partially nude and/or a crotch shot. But the text, flashbacks, and artwork function smoothly together. This adorable story conveys the awkwardness and embarrassment of teenage life, and the reader is left anticipating Volume 2 of this four-volume series. Including nudity and mature themes, it is recommended for ages 16+ and adult collections.

it is a good one. the first chapters were really interesting but later it turned kind of rushed and undeveloped. especially the ending that I couldn't follow it up completely.
It's sort of funny having this sort of title when the person before me had their title as "expected," but this story really wasn't at all what I had expected from the title or the first chapter. The characters are just normal high school students, but it's also about overcoming stereotypes and standing up for yourself, which was a pleasant surprise. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
As expected the series was pretty funny with lots of fan service. Mostly being about adolescence and insecurities that all guys have to win over in order to grow up. I liked the ending because it shows that both the girl and the guy had grown up out of their puberty into adulthood. The outlook of the characters at the end was positive and hopeful.
i feel there was really no character development. I mean. The romance is hinted but it didn't seem like anyone would end up with anyone especially the perverto and the main girl character. I thought there will be more romance and development between them. I didn't really get the ending either. If someone does then message me please. I felt the ending was rush and i was confused at the end too. But overall, the story was funny but then i felt like there should be more character development and clear ending.
