2[[caption-width-right:227:And yet, things still seem to have gotten a bit [[{{Pun}} ecchi]].]]
3{{Fanservice}} is found in many anime, in many forms. When it appears to be a major focus of the show, then it's safe to assume you're watching ''Ecchi''.
4
5"Ecchi" (pronounced EH-chee) is used by English-speaking anime fans to refer to soft-core pornographic or sexually suggestive anime and manga, and that's the definition this page uses. It is a "milder" version of the word [[{{Hentai}} "hentai"]]. However, this is entirely a western invention, as in Japanese, "ecchi" is a catch-all term for all things sexual, however slight or strong, and not really considered a "mild" term; on the other hand, in Japanese "hentai" need not be sexual at all ("hentai" is actually a catch-all term for all things perverted). Basically, in the English speaking world, "hentai" is hard-core porn, while "ecchi" is soft-core fanservice; in Japan on the other hand, "hentai" is like how you'd say in English "You pervert/creep!", while "ecchi" is all salacious stuff ranging from as mild as a bit of fanservice to as explicit as full-on intercourse. Similar to other terms English borrows from Japanese such as "anime" and "manga", the application in these two worlds is quite opposite.
6
7The word "ecchi" arose from how Japanese speakers pronounce the letter "H". Transliterated back into English, we get "ecchi". The letter "H" comes from the word "{{Hentai}}", but the term as currently used is not synonymous with {{Hentai}}, as mentioned above.
8
9The line between Ecchi and Hentai can be hard to draw at times. However, one good rule of thumb is, if it was aired on Japanese public TV ''at all'', it probably wasn't Hentai. Ecchi usually features BarbieDollAnatomy, or avoids nudity with lingering {{Panty Shot}}s. {{Hentai}}, on the other hand, will usually show full frontal nudity in some explicit form, and full, intimate sex scenes; in other words, ''pornography''. At its mildest, Ecchi is closer in spirit to shows like ''Series/ThreesCompany'' and ''Series/AreYouBeingServed,'' full of {{Double Entendre}}s, [[ThreeIsCompany big misunderstandings]], and [[SexComedy sexual farce]]. At its most explicit, it is still more in the realm of HBO Presents than Vivid Entertainment. Another good way to distinguish the two is if there are any animated sex scenes in which genitalia have to be pixelated. If so, you have left this genre entirely.
10
11To borrow an old saying, when it comes to sexual content, Ecchi is the sizzle; Hentai is the steak.
12
13Due to its dependency on fanservice and sex-orientated-humor: the focus is generally the females, which leaves the protagonist to be a stale, [[FeaturelessProtagonist faceless camera]] to capture all of the [[{{Fanservice}} escapades and shenanigans]] going around him.
14
15Possibly because sex is [[NakedPeopleAreFunny inherently funny]], a large number of Ecchi series are [[SexComedy comedies]]. Many start out as softer versions of actual hentai content (such as video games), while others may revert/graduate back to such if an {{OVA}} is released. Due to ValuesDissonance, quite a few Ecchi series can be found in {{Shonen|Demographic}} magazines, meaning that at least in their native Japan, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids they're marketed primarily towards horny teenage boys]] (albeit with a strong PeripheryDemographic).
16
17Note that display of {{nipple|AndDimed}}s alone is not sufficient to be considered Ecchi. Shows exist that aren't focused on sexuality, but will show the occasional bare breast. Like Europe, Japan is also a bit more relaxed about displaying breasts on regulated TV than America, but typically does not show such content in most of its shows. In America, display of nipples means you are either watching something on pay TV such as HBO, or something completely off TV altogether.

20!!Examples
21[[index]]
22* ''Manga/TwelveBeast'' from the same author as ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' and ''Manga/DeadlineSummoner'' has this in spades, with the twist that they are (mostly) {{cute monster girl}}s
23* ''Anime/AbunaiSisters'', starring two vapid celebrities who often use their [[BoobBasedGag ludicrously huge breasts]] to solve problems.
24* ''Manga/AhAndMmAreAllSheSays'' is a SliceOfLife about an editor and mangaka at a hentai magazine who live together.
25* ''Manga/AhMyBuddha'', aka ''Amaenaide yo!!''
26* ''Manga/AirGear'': Very few authors would go for ecchi in a series about roller-blading, but Creator/OhGreat is the proud exception.
27* ''Manga/AmaiSeikatsu'': The setting is a women's underwear company, and the protagonist can cause women to orgasm by a single touch. Also a lot of exposed breasts and butts.
28* ''Literature/AndYouThoughtThereIsNeverAGirlOnline''
29* ''Manga/AnAngelsMarshmallow''
30* ''Manga/AshigeiShoujoKomurasan'' is a romance comedy about a high schooler meeting a flexible, acrobatic girl who uses her feet for practically every day tasks.
31* ''Literature/TheAsteriskWar'': Barely. The anime has a few shots of the girls in their underwear but all things considered it's generally pretty tame.
32* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' has a lot of nudity and characters getting into suggestive situations.
33* ''Manga/{{Azumi}}''
34* ''Manga/BGataHKei''
35* ''Anime/BattleProgrammerShirase''
36* ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts''

41* ''Manga/CaheDetectiveClub''

43* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex''
44* ''Manga/Change123''
45* "Manga/ChierisLoveIs8MetersTall"
46* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' has quite a bit of fanservice early on in the story, particularly from [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Chi]], but the fanservice is less frequent as the plot and tone gradually become more serious.
47* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' is an arguable example as the fanservice is relatively infrequent, but is still listed under "Fanservice" on Creator/{{Funimation}} now.
48* ''Manga/{{Colorful}}''
49* ''Anime/CosplayComplex''
50* ''Anime/CrossAnge'' has lots of nudity, with very Stripperiffic outfits, forced groping, rape scenes and lots of strong {{Yuri}}.
51* ''Literature/CubeXCursedXCurious'' makes it very obvious as you get a PantyShot of the main character '''before''' seeing her face.
52* ''Anime/CuteyHoney'': Considered by some to be the Main/UrExample to this genre.
53* ''Manga/DaimidalerTheSoundRobot'' is about HumongousMecha being powered by grabbing women's breasts and a gang of villainous penguin people with prominent ... ''[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything front tails]]''.
54* ''Manga/DeadlineSummoner'' from the same author as ''Manga/TwelveBeast'' continues the trend.
55* ''Manga/DearS'' (MagicalGirlfriend? Not necessarily ecchi. Magical ''sex slave''? '''''Ecchi.''''')
56* ''Manga/DestinyLovers''
57* ''Manga/DominaNoDo''
58* ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'' is a spoof series about the adventures of a mother/daughter duo of superheroines, who are often sexually assaulted by a pervy organization called, "Blowjob".
59* ''Manga/DontToyWithMeMissNagatoro''
60* ''Manga/DoYouLikeBigGirls''
61* ''Manga/DragonHalf''
62* ''Manga/DragonsRioting''
63* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'', the {{Animesque}} comic. Sex scenes galore, but GodivaHair and SceneryCensor are flat-out ''abused''.
64* ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' is a HotterAndSexier take on ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' that becomes ecchi in later issues, [[{{Bowdlerize}} at least in the Japanese original]]. There's times you'll see Misty nude although with BarbieDollAnatomy and all the girls have [[WorldOfBuxom really big breasts.]] Misty typically wears really revealing outfits as well.
65* ''Manga/ElfenLied'': A [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], the story as a whole is a drama/horror. Much of the nudity is FanDisservice and misleads the audience quite a lot.
66* ''Manga/FairyTail'': The [=OVAs=] bundled with the special editions of the manga pretty much exist solely for fanservice.
67* ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero''
68* ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': A MagicalGirl {{Parody}} of the original ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', it doesn't take itself at all seriously ([[CerebusSyndrome for the first half anyway]], before we're reminded that it is indeed a ''Fate'' story, [[CerebusRollercoaster then the ride gets bumpy]]). The protagonists are not spared from any Ecchi antics despite being ''children'', which despite NakedPeopleAreFunny and BarbieDollAnatomy being in full effect may still be a source of {{Squick}} to some, and has resulted in the series being [[BannedInChina banned in some countries]]. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.
69* ''Manga/FireForce'': Frequently shows the women showering complete with CensorSteam, multiple instances of clothes being reduced to scraps, and a character whose RunningGag is to end up in compromising situations.
70* ''Manga/FoodWars'' takes FoodPorn to near-literal levels by having the characters prepare OrgasmicallyDelicious meals that often cause the diner to undergo an ImagineSpot in which their clothes fly off (referred to as "foodgasms" by fans).
71* ''Anime/{{Free}}'' is arguably an example of ecchi meant for a female audience, as though it's primarily a sports anime, the [[WalkingShirtlessScene near perpetually shirtless]] male cast is constantly subject to female gaze-y camera angles and fanservice, and Creator/{{Funimation}} even places it under the "Fanservice" category on their streaming site as well featuring it in their "Funimation Peep Show" panel.
72* ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'': The anime tears clothing off every female in every episode, often leaving them with only a shaded/whiteout bar for modesty. The original manga is somewhat more restrained.
73* ''Manga/FutariEcchi'': Unlike most examples it features actual sex scenes and the plot is about sexual relationships, but doesn't qualify as hentai because it's never graphically explicit.
74* ''Manga/GachaGacha'' features plenty of boobs, panties and other lighthearted fetish material, there's even some nudity, although only limited to nipples.
75* ''VideoGame/GalGun''
76* ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' loves naked women almost as much as it loves gore.
77* ''Manga/GhostInTheShell'' -- Man-Machine Interface specifically.
78* ''Manga/GiantOjouSama'': An action/sci-fi comedy series about a young woman who has the ability to transform into a giant with an enhanced energy drink.
79* ''Manga/GirlsBravo''
80* ''Anime/{{Godannar}}''
81* ''Manga/GoldenBoy''
82* ''Anime/{{Gravion}}''
83* ''VisualNovel/GreenGreen'': While the 12-episode anime is ecchi, the original visual novel and an OVA which is considered by some to be episode 13 is straight-up hentai.
84* ''Anime/{{Grenadier}}''
85* ''Manga/GunburedXSisters'': An UrbanFantasy action-comedy about nuns with guns slaying vampires, with plenty of {{yuri}} {{fanservice}}.
86* ''Gushing Over Magical Girls'' pushes the hentai envelope pretty hard.
87* ''Manga/GyaruSen'': A SupportingHarem focused around a young man and his FirstLove turned Gal teacher.
88* ''Literature/{{Haganai}}''
89* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam''
90* ''Anime/HandMaidMay''
91* ''Literature/HaremInTheLabyrinthOfAnotherWorld'': The main character acquires a harem of {{Sex Slave}}s that he regularly sleeps with, depicted in R-rated manner in the anime adaptation.
92* ''Manga/HarenchiGakuen'': aka ''Shameless School'', this work by Creator/GoNagai can be considered the TropeMaker for ecchi.
93* ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty''
94* ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster''
95* ''Manga/{{Hen}}'': {{Yuri}} RomanticComedy with a lot of female nudity.
96* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'' features bouncy chests on girls being torn apart by zombies, a girl cracking open human skulls with a wooden sword while wearing nothing but an apron and a thong, and one particular gratuitous sequence of bouncing in BulletTime.
97* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': If you've gone more than one episode without seeing a nipple or one of the girls in an advanced state of undress (Or nothing at all) then something is amiss.
98* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': these {{OVA}}s are much more fanservice centered than the original series.
99* ''Manga/{{Himegoto}}''
100* ''Manga/HitomiChanIsShyWithStrangers''
101* ''Manga/HoneyTrapShareHouse''
102* ''Literature/HorizonInTheMiddleOfNowhere'': Its use of the WorldOfBuxom trope is enough to land it in this genre. Even without having the biggest breasts many of the woman are still well endowed.
103* ''Literature/HowToBuildADungeonBookOfTheDemonKing'': A DarkFantasy series involving an aspiring SorcerousOverlord having sex with a bevy of beautiful women and {{Cute Monster Girl}}s.
104* ''Manga/{{Hyakuen}}''
105* ''Manga/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': The girls literally get a power-up from sexual intercourse.
106* ''Manga/IdolPretender''
107* ''Manga/IDontLikeYouAtAllBigBrother''
108* ''Manga/IDreamOfMimi'' could be considered a borderline case for either Ecchi or Hentai, though it is marketed primarily as the latter. It stands more or less in the same position as ''Ebichu'' -- there's a lot of risqué material such as bare breasts and implied sex, but it's too ''funny'' to be a straightforward {{Hentai}}.
109* ''Manga/IketeruFutari''
110* ''Manga/IkkiTousen'' aka ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' [-[[RecycledInSPACE WITH]] [[PantyShot PANTY]] [[PantyFighter SHOTS]]!-]
111* ''Manga/ImaizuminChiWaDouyaraGalNoTamaribaNiNatteruRashiiDeep''
112* ''Manga/ImmoralGuild''
113* ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers'': Considering it's about a group of adventurers that review monster girl brothels, it is definitely expected. The anime adaptation is considerably HotterAndSexier, as it features full-frontal nudity for the women, and some scenes veer extremely close to full-blown hentai.
114* ''Manga/{{Inumimi}}''
115* ''Anime/IppatsuKikiMusume'' is the [[GrossOutShow gross-out]] version, with a young woman placed into tricky situations, usually half-naked or even completely.
116* ''Manga/{{Is}}'': Manga about a guy who would really like to date a certain girl.
117* ''Literature/IsThisAZombie''
118* ''Manga/ItsudatteMySanta'': Not everyone got the memo on this one, as it carries a '''G''' rating in at least one Canadian province (Manitoba).
119* ''Anime/JungleDeIkou''
120* ''Anime/JunkBoy''
121* ''Manga/KamiKatsuWorkingForGodInAGodlessWorld'' has a very raunchy sense of humor, having a lot of {{Fanservice}} centered on the female characters and making references to tropes common in hentai, but it never becomes too explicit.
122* ''Literature/{{Kanokon}}''
123* ''Manga/{{Keijo}}'': Girls' competitive sports, except they're using their boobs and butts to compete. It's more of an AffectionateParody of fanservice and the show clearly doesn't take itself seriously.
124* ''Manga/KekkoKamen''
125* ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is an [[WorldOfHam extremely over-the-top]] parody of {{Fanservice}} itself. {{Stripperific}} outfits are the norm and ''[[LaResistance there is an entire organization dedicated to resisting all clothing]]'' (because clothing is representative of fascism). But of course, there is plenty of BarbieDollAnatomy and [[SceneryCensor Scenery Censoring.]]
126* ''Kiss × Sis'' is a manga telling the story of two girls' attempts to date, and especially sleep with, their step-brother, while dealing with a horny teacher, a classmate with continence problems, and an OlderThanSheLooks kouhai who are '''all''' aiming for the exact same thing.
127* ''Manga/KoeDeOshigoto''
128* ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou'' jumps between shameless pantyshotting and contriving to get the girls into as many compromising positions as possible, often lampshading it and complementing it with surprisingly classy dialogue and references.
129* ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh''
130* ''Literature/LadiesVersusButlers''
131* ''Manga/TheLegendaryHeroIsDead'': Main protagonist Touka has a fetish for women's thighs, which is a frequent source of jokes, and main heroine Yuna is a ReluctantFanserviceGirl who often ends up in embarrassing situations.
132* ''Manga/LoveHina'': The manga features lots of naked female flesh, albeit with [[BarbieDollAnatomy absence of nipples and barbie-doll crotches]]. The anime has them wrapped in towels or [[ToplessnessFromTheBack shown from behind]], though it still has a lot of raunchy jokes thanks to the main character being an AccidentalPervert.
133* ''Manga/MaboroshiPanty''
134* ''Manga/MagicalTarurutoKun''
135* ''Manga/MagicalSempai'': A comedy series about a girl who can perform stage magic well whenever she's alone, but suffers from a severe case of stage fright. As such, she gets into several compromising positions because of her mishaps.
136* ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}''
137* ''Manga/MakenKi'' is a harem series (with a conspiracy plot!) set at a school where the student body is predominantly female; most of whom have [[WorldOfBuxom D-Cup breasts and above.]] Art by former hentai/doujinshi artist, Takeda Hiromitsu.
138* ''Manga/ManyuHikencho'' takes place in a world where social status is determined by breast size. Naturally, plenty of {{Fanservice}} ensues.
139* ''Manga/MariaHolic''
140* ''VisualNovel/MashiroIroSymphony''
141* ''Anime/MasterOfMartialHearts''
142* ''Manga/MidoriDays'': It's bound to happen when your girlfriend literally becomes your right hand, though it doesn't get as risqué as it could (the North American DVD set carries a 13+ age recommendation).
143* ''[[Webcomic/{{Mierukochan}} Mieruko-chan]]''
144* ''Manga/MinnaAgechau''
145* ''Manga/MinamiKe''
146* ''Anime/MiruTights'' might as well be called "Foot Fetish and LegFocus: The Anime".
147* ''Manga/MissMachiko'' is one of the Ur Examples -- being a kids show that revolves around new and creative ways for the title Machiko to lose her clothing and/or be sexually molested by her elementary school students.
148* ''Literature/{{MM}}''
149* ''Manga/MoneSanNoMajimeSugiruTsukiaikata''
150* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' has this '''in spades''' with {{cute monster girl}}s. In the manga, and the uncensored anime, female nipples are shown.
151* ''Manga/MotherOfTheGoddessDormitory'' has a lot of softcore nudity, but it runs in a shonen magazine.
152* ''Manga/MyBalls'' consistently skirts the line between this and straight-up hentai.
153* ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'' is mostly a heartwarming story about a friendless boy and an outgoing GyaruGirl bonding over cosplay (and it can also be [[ShownTheirWork quite informative about how cosplay works]]), but there's also a lot of fanservice and MaleGaze, with much of it focused on ShamelessFanserviceGirl Kitagawa.
154* ''Manga/MyFirstGirlfriendIsAGal''
155* ''Manga/MyLovelyGhostKana''
156* ''Anime/MyOtomeZwei''. The rest of the ''Franchise/MyHime'' franchise is fairly heavy on the {{Fanservice}} but doesn't focus nearly as much on it.
157* ''Literature/MySisterMyWriter''
158* ''Manga/MyWifeIsTheStudentCouncilPresident'': Another 'how far can we push this before being labeled hentai' type of series.
159* ''Manga/NagasareteAirantou''
160* ''Literature/NakaimoMySisterIsAmongThem'' is about a student who has to marry in order to inherit his late father's corporate empire, with one of his prospective brides possibly being his long-lost sister.
161* ''Manga/NanaShimazakiLookingForWork''
162* ''Manga/NanaAndKaoru'': A BDSM comic with plenty of female nudity and sexual situations but very little actual intercourse (and none between the main pairing).
163* ''Manhwa/NeedAGirl''
164* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', by the same author as ''Manga/LoveHina''.
165* ''Manga/NinjaNonsense'' simultaneously parodies this and plays it straight.
166* ''Manga/NozokiAna'' straddles the line between ecchi and hentai.
167* ''Manga/NozomuNozomi''
168* ''Manga/OMaidensInYourSavageSeason'': Pantyshots and other elements of sex. Goes along with the coming of age theme.
169* ''Manga/{{Okusan}}''
170* ''Manga/OmamoriHimari''
171* ''Manga/OnimaiImNowYourSister''
172* ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}'', with BrotherSisterIncest themes.
173* ''Anime/OruchubanEbichu'': While the show featured material that could be considered explicit, the simplistic art style and goofy premise kept it from being taken seriously as {{hentai}}.
174* ''Literature/OurHomesFoxDeity''
175* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', due to Panty having [[LovableSexManiac sex with roughly any male she meets]], and the transformation sequence involves a striptease, though the majority of the fanservice is played for parody and crude humor.
176* ''Manga/ParallelParadise''
177* ''Manga/ThePerksOfWorkingInTheBlackMagicIndustry''
178* ''Manga/PeterGrillAndThePhilosophersTime''
179* ''Manga/PleaseGoHomeAkutsuSan'' is about a delinquent freeloading at her classmate's apartment.
180* ''Anime/PleaseTeacher'', ''Anime/PleaseTwins'', although these shows have a bit more serious content than most, especially the latter.
181* ''VisualNovel/PrincessLover'': The twelve-episode anime; not to be confused with the [=OVAs=], which are hentai.
182* ''Manga/PrisonSchool''
183* ''Anime/QueensBlade'' has no objection to showing nipples, and the proportions of the female characters cover every trope applicable to breasts.
184* ''Literature/RailWars''
185* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''
186* ''Anime/RioRainbowGate''
187* ''Literature/RiseOfTheOutlawTamerAndHisSRankCatGirl'': HaremSeries of {{Cute Monster Girl}}s who routinely have explicit sex with the protagonist.
188* ''Literature/RisingXRydeen''
189* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' (the anime; died off in the manga)
190* ''Manga/{{Sankarea}}''
191* ''Manga/{{Satanophany}}'' has lots of fanservice, but also FanDisservice due to its status as a Mystery, Horror and gore manga too.
192* ''Manga/SchoolOfWaterBusiness''
193* ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'' is a pretty ecchi manga and anime series... including giant breasts, nearly naked scenes and lots of nosebleeds from the main male character.
194* ''Manga/{{Semelparous}}'' is a YuriGenre manga with a lot of female nudity and sex.
195* ''Manga/SensualTrigger''
196* ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins''
197* ''Anime/SevenMortalSins''
198* ''Literature/{{Shimoneta}}'' features a girl who runs around ''[[GoingCommando in nothing]]'' but [[ModestyTowel a bedsheet]], another girl who habitually leaks vaginal fluid, 'cuz she's always horny for the male protagonist, and a guy who ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady looks]]'' [[AloofDarkhairedGirl like a girl]] even when he's naked. Whereas the series itself is about a zany group of ero-terrorists whose goal is to re-educate Japan's citizens about sex, the joys of porn, and the right to tell dirty jokes again, which have all been prohibited by their government.
199* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'', one of the best examples of CerebusSyndrome in the genre ([[UnwantedHarem harem]] comedy turns dramatic halfway into the series. Let's not even get started on [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest Kaede Fuyou]] [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled snapping on Asa Shigure]]]].
200* ''Manga/SisconAniToBroconImoutoGaShoujikiNiNattara'': While mostly a SliceOfLife slash comedy, several scenes feature the two main characters making out very passionately, with the occasional tease or FanservicePack from the female lead.
201* ''Manga/SoulEaterNot'' - While the original manga and anime had occasional fanservice, this spinoff series takes it up a notch.
202* ''Manga/SteelAngelKurumi''
203* ''Anime/StrangeLove''
204* ''Anime/StrikeWitches''
205* ''Manga/{{Sundome}}''. Another borderline case.
206* ''Manga/SuperHxEros''
207* ''Webcomic/TawawaOnMonday'' is a series of images prominently focused on large boobs, but otherwise a SliceOfLife.
208* ''Manga/TengenToppaGurrenLagannGurrenGakuenHen'' (HighSchoolAU manga of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'')
209* ''Manga/TenjhoTenge''
210* ''Literature/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil''
211* ''VisualNovel/TheyAreMyNobleMasters''
212* ''Manga/ThoseWhoHuntElves''
213* ''Manga/TonaGura''
214* ''Manga/ToLoveRu''. While certainly not the first manga to incorporate loads of fanservice and interesting shots of semi-naked to naked young women, ''To Love-Ru'' takes the trope to a whole 'nother level to put it bluntly! The sequel "[[HotterAndSexier Darkness]]" somehow manages to crank things up to where you'd swear at times you were looking at a hentai work, not a fanservicey rom-com!
215* ''Manga/TorakoAnmariKowashichaDameDaYo''
216* ''Manga/TriageX''
217* ''Manga/TrinitySeven''
218* ''Anime/{{Tsugumomo}}''
219* ''Ultimate Girls''
220* ''Manga/{{Underdog}}''
221* ''Manga/{{Uwakoi}}'', ''Aki Sora'', and other works by Masahiro Itosugi, which [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] many ecchi-related tropes while indulging in borderline-hentai sex scenes.
222* ''Anime/UsagichanDeCue'': A bunny-girl fights for her life against a relentless cyborg sent by a mysterious government bureau. Clothing damage galore, and nobody gets NippleAndDimed.
223* ''Manga/UzakiChanWantsToHangOut'' is a mild case, focusing more on the comedy than the fanservice, though there's plenty of both.
224* ''Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid'' takes this as far as it can before becoming straight up {{hentai}}.
225* ''Anime/VariableGeo'' is about a women's-only MMA tournament [[FanserviceWithASmile for combat waitresses]], where the loser of each match [[ShamefulStrip has to strip for the audience.]]
226* ''Manga/VideoGirlAi''
227* ''Anime/WalkureRomanze'': From the creators of ''VisualNovel/PrincessLover''.
228* ''Manga/WhyTheHellAreYouHereTeacher''
229* ''Literature/WiedergeburtLegendOfTheReincarnatedWarrior'': An English-language LightNovel series with explicit sex scenes between the male lead and his {{harem|Genre}}.
230* The ''Anime/{{Witchblade}}'' anime surely delights in showing Masane's... ample assets with VERY LITTLE covering them. However, it's in many ways a subversion -- as the actual appearance is quite sexy, what's she doing is absolutely not.
231* ''Manga/WorldsEndHarem'': Starting point of a ThematicSeries of {{dystopia}}n manga written by Creator/{{LINK}} and drawn by various {{hentai}} artists, with virtually everything but the actual genitals shown.
232* ''Manga/WorldsEndHaremFantasia''
233* ''Manga/YokaiGirls''
234* ''VisualNovel/YosugaNoSora'': Caught a lot of fans off-guard by ''showing'' the sex scenes from the visual novel (which is rare for eroge adaptations), albeit in an R-rated rather then X-rated fashion.
235* ''Manga/Yuria100Shiki''
236* ''Manga/YuugaiShiteiDoukyuusei''
237* ''Manga/YuunaAndTheHauntedHotSprings''
