Alice no 100°Cc is a rightfully little-known romcom ecchi manga that focuses on a young man named Aoi Kururi who is the son of a long line of incense-smellers. Due to this, he has inherited the ability to use "onmyou-ji" magic, which seems to primarily have the power to give young women collars that cause them to urinate, and then have to urinate again soon after finishing, until a user of onmyou-ji magic uses straws, perverted fantasies, and tissues to cure them of the spell they are under. As you might have guessed already, the manga much deserves its score and lack of popularity.
The manga uses humor that mostly revolves around girls wetting themselves, forcefully removing Aoi's clothes, very open incest, and more typical ecchi humor. The humor is decent, at best, but overall the manga is just not very good. The peeing jokes get old pretty quickly, the weird pervert magic is pretty funny throughout, but I wasn't exactly dying of laughter through reading it. There were a few particularly funny moments towards the middle of the work, but it was largely very, very bland.
The characters are largely very bland, the romantic interest (who scarcely appears whatsoever, and who the MC never makes any advances on) is simply just shy, the younger sister feels inadequate due to her inability to use the onmyou-ji magic that both her older brother and sister can, the main character is a smell pervert and later a pee pervert. The most interesting character was Asuka Kazusa, who seems to be both a total pervert but also a refined character, as the manga points out. The rest are largely uninspired, however.
There's really very little to say about this piece, the art is decent, the "story" is very much not. But if you like reading things that make you think "how did this get published in an official manga magazine", maybe you'll enjoy it, or maybe if you, like the author, really, really like pee. Overall, the manga gives exactly what it sets out to, at the very least, a subpar romcom ecchi about girls who just can't stop peeing their pants, if that's you're thing, by all means do read it, but if you expect literally anything else from this besides a few cheap laughs, if that, and pages practically stained with "Alice's warmth", then read something that's actually worthwhile.
