Maru Maru

Maru Maru (マルマル, Maru Maru) is a series of best-selling erotic novels written by Kamurogi Shigezo. They are so popular that they have been called the shinobi world's number two novel series, after the famed Icha Icha. The plot of the novels has also been likened to Icha Icha, albeit with a slightly stronger focus on the romantic themes. To date, only four novels make up the series, however it is well-known among the Maru Maru fanbase that a fifth is on its way.

Known Books

 * Maru Maru Fantasy (マルマル ファンタジー, Maru Maru Fantajī) is the first in the series and depicts the love between a woman and her sister's husband. It has been called "controversial" by many for its adulterous content.


 * Maru Maru Dream (マルマル ドリーム, Maru Maru Dorīmu) follows after Maru Maru Fantasy and continues the story of its protagonists. Trouble finds the couple after their affair was discovered in the first book and what's with this new guy at work!?


 * Maru Maru Calamity (マルマル カラミッティー, Maru Maru Karamittī) introduces an entirely new cast and is supposedly set before the first two novels. This book shows the forbidden love between student and teacher and is, by far, the bestselling book of the series so far.


 * Maru Maru Fever (マルマル フィーバー, Maru Maru Fībā) is acclaimed as the most "passionate" book in the series and is only truly beloved by hardcore fans. This book describes a man who has a string of affairs with many women, some of which are years younger than him. It should be noted, however, that all characters are above the age of 18.


 * Maru Maru Escape (マルマル エスケープ, Maru Maru Esukēpu) will be the fifth book in the series and is said to be released within the year. It is said that the plot revolves around a woman seeking adventure and a man seeking an adventurous woman. This is likely false information, however, as no one has ever met Kamurogi Shigezo to confirm such details.

Trivia

 * Each copy of the Maru Maru series can be bought from any bookstore in any village within the Five Great Nations and only costs 54 ryo each!
 * The name of the series is likely referencing a woman's chest.
