I have no real interest in this title, but I was giggling quite a bit through the whole review. Well done. Hats off to you.

This whole thing of diamonds coming out of your pp hole just sounds like kidney stones to me.

I'm guessing you meant to use the word "penile" there, not "puerile" which means "childish". A problem with auto-correct?

I remember it, the footjob duel really was great over-the-top ecchi comedy scene. I liked the childhood friend too.

I see what you did there.  The whole review was chock full of puns. Very creative!

"Puerile" honestly might've been the actual intended word. (Or maybe "prurient"!)

This reminds me for all the world of the gem(?) Oretama, or "My Balls," that a friend stumbled on a while ago and felt the need to share. In that case the queen of hell was sealed in the titular spot, and the world was doomed to destruction unless the protagonist remained, er, master of his domain.
I got a few good chuckles out of the review.  What jumped out at me more than the puns, though, was the first line:
| Quote: | | An angle of approach I often find myself taking when going into fanservice-focused anime and manga works is to ask "Why didn't you just make porn?" |
Thank you! I've never been able to understand just what these hyper-fanservice shows are trying to accomplish, or whom they're made for exactly. They cram in the outrageous over-the-top sexual situations and clouds of broadcast white mist that will be parted if one only shells out for the BD...but then they're bizarrely chaste when it comes to, y'know, actually doing the deed. I have much more respect for hentai artists, because they're completely upfront about what their work is intended to do. To the others, just drop the pretext that you're making a "respectable" work and go the full monty.

The premise is at the very least memorable that in itself can be a battle when it comes to standing out among the field of clone fan service titles out today.

Puerile isn't right. Substitute the meaning, and you get "childish penetration". The only thing that brings to mind is the always disturbing childish/puerile prank: kanchou.

I used to have a family member who had Kidney Stones and after hearing how painful it was I don't think I'd be able to get any gratification from this series.

Simple: because not everyone likes porn. Indeed, most people don't. But lots of people like sex jokes and mild nudity. If you look at western entertainment in the 70s, 80s and 90s similar content was huge: Playboy Magazine, Porkys, Revenge of the Nerds, Baywatch etc. with its own stars (Julie Strain, Pam Grier, Sybil Danning etc). Some called it the "screwball" genre, but distinct from the much earlier one. It also spread out from comedy to other genres: action, martial arts, horror etc. It is difficult to describe how lucrative and influential this was. Suffice to say that for ages Porkys was the top grossing independent film of all time. This sector was a major driver in adoption of cable and VCRs. Then it declined and died out for various reasons. It would be unrealistic to presume that ecchi manga and anime wasn't influenced by it. They share a lot of common tropes and the ecchi titles from the OVA (i.e. made for Japanese VCR market) era contained not a few winks and nudges.
So "I have much more respect for hentai artists, because they're completely upfront about what their work is intended to do. To the others, just drop the pretext that you're making a "respectable" work" is a newer outlook. It is pretty much the opposite back then, when even a mainstream movie like Airplane hired screwball genre legend Kitten Natividad solely for an extended comedic boob jiggle - and then topless - scene that didn't even show her face. If Hideaki Anno saw that scene and it inspired his famous "gainaxing" then it shouldn't be a surprise. The only difference is that the west has stopped making entertainment like that while Japan continues to. To put it another way: western entertainment is willing to leave a huge amount of money on the table by no longer making screwball B-movies that Japan is unwilling to forgo.

Puerile isn't right. Substitute the meaning, and you get "childish penetration". The only thing that brings to mind is the always disturbing childish/puerile prank: kanchou. |
Given variations in connotation, you can't just swap synonyms around like that and expect the phrasing to still work.
Using puerile to refer to this kind of writing is standard usage. See: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/puerile
Effectively the connotation isn't 'for kids' but more 'immature' with a sidenote of 'crass.'

Childish, doesn't mean "for kids". It means "like a child", and is frequently used pejoratively when referring to conduct that might be appropriate for a child but not for an adult. In that usage, childish is a synonym for puerile.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/childish
If the word "puerile" were being used to describe the writing, it would be fine, but here is the full context:

In that word order, "puerile" is describing the act of penetration, not the depiction of it.
If it were intended to describe the presentation, it would have to be changed to something like, "a purely puerile presentation of penetration".

Gratification is supposed to come from the girls being hot. Not because some sad sack has jizz crystals
