■Detailed story and character analysis

"Oira Onnaban" is a school comedy filled with Nagai Go's unique humor and erotic elements. The main character, Onnabanko, is a delinquent boy who is quick to fight and repeatedly drops out and transfers to other schools. However, because his name is Onnabanko, he is mistakenly transferred to an all-girls school. This setting itself is reminiscent of Nagai Go's humor and has a major impact on the development of the story.

Although Mebanko is confused about life at an all-girls school, she lives a dream-like school life surrounded by other girls. However, she catches the eye of a group of delinquent girls at school and gets caught up in some trouble. The conflict with this group of delinquent girls forms the main axis of the story. The leader of the group, "Otoko Danshi", is a beautiful girl with a strong personality, who teases Mebanko in a way that borders on sexual harassment. This character setting also brings to mind Nagai Go's erotic elements, and adds to the overall atmosphere of the work.

Although the character of Mebanko is set up as a brawny boy, he is shown to grow through his life at an all-girls school. Though he is confused at first, he gradually develops friendships with the girls around him. His relationship with the boys is also initially antagonistic, but gradually comes to understand each other. The character's growth and the changes in relationships are part of the appeal of the story.
