Female Authors Also Enjoy Scenes Where the Heroine Sees a Naked Man

What do you think about ecchi scenes in anime—like when a male protagonist accidentally sees a girl naked or in revealing clothes? Many call this “unnecessary ecchi” made to please the male audience. But did you know the reverse also happens? In fact, there are plenty of manga where the heroine sees a naked man, and these stories are often created by female manga authors for a female audience.

In shojo manga and josei titles aimed at girls and women, it’s surprisingly common to find moments where the heroine sees a naked man by accident!

Female Authors Also Enjoy Scenes Where the Heroine Sees a Naked Man

Japanese otakus were surprised to learn that female readers and creators also enjoy these kinds of scenes—but made to suit their preferences. A thread compiling several manga scenes where the heroine accidentally sees a man naked gained attention online, showing that this trope is more widespread than people realized.

Interestingly, these scenes differ in tone depending on the audience. In manga for men, the girls are usually shocked or embarrassed. But in manga made for women, the guys being seen often appear calm, relaxed, or even flirtatious.

Fans commented things like:

• “Wait, women want to see naked men too?”

• “Isn’t this sexual harassment?”

• “Women think just like us? That’s shocking.”

This reminds me about a certain isekai hentai manga where a female protagonist is transported to another world and meets a dangerous man who forces himself on her—yet the series received a surprisingly beautiful animation.

Yes, women enjoy ecchi and hentai content too—and many create it because they genuinely like it.
