Do You Like Big Girls? Vol. 3

Can the diminutive Sota stand up to -- and service -- these rambunctious giantesses and survive the numerous hurdles of an all-girl dorm life? Maybe! And what about satisfying strange desires of his favorite team member... who happens to be his older sister?! Maybe not!

Alas, it isn't as if the volleyball gals of Hokuei University are total idiots. Kaoru's vibrant affection for her dear brother, Sota, spills out more often than not. Such is the case in the current volume when the cast more ardently schemes to pair the two together in spite of the luxury of circumstances that might grant the girls their own fleeting moments with their shortstack interim coach.
DO YOU LIKE BIG GIRLS? v3 is neither an entertaining nor an enlightening installment; just more of the same. One struggles to amass any sympathy or interest in a cast of characters whose growth and complexity is routinely stymied by the perilously obvious. Instead of Sota earning his due by scraping together some semblance of respect and affection with the team, he bounces around, witless, while the others regularly talk behind his back (notably, the team has yet to play an actual game). Instead of Kaoru stepping into herself and owning her affections, the young woman bites back any criticism of her shifting relational dynamic, gets drunk, and conveniently forgets anything ever happened between her and her brother.
The nature of ecchi comedy content is to move at a pace that prevents one from believing the story's conflict can be solved so easily, but in the case of DO YOU LIKE BIG GIRLS? v3, one can doubtlessly argue that Sota's relationship with the girls can and should progress faster than it does. Sota has a knack for offering sage advice on personhood and being true to one's self, but many of these more wholesome notes are often lost amid the manga's circular greed for size-humor and family-frolicking.
A brief chapter on Julia, the American, smartly etches into readers' minds the importance of agency when the girl turns down a chance to play for the basketball team for the sake of simply having fun with the volleyball girls. Sakura, the insecure otaku, has a brief run-in with an old flame, and naturally plays off the man's interest as an old joke. Would a bit of seriousness upend Sakura's comfort with the obscure and the inane? Although brief, these moments push the manga beyond the circumference of its more gaudy and flagrant boundaries of adult humor and closer toward the realm of purposeful storytelling. But the examples are sharply limited and with little support.

The misunderstanding and events in this manga are very funny. I will continue reading for that alone.

The continued escapades of Sota and his volleyball charges continue as we finally get to see some more of life outside the bedroom. Yet a Godzilla-inspired kaiju movie shoot is still the most grounded situation in the volume, especially as Sota continues to struggle with his relationship with his sister. This incest plot has been an undercurrent for two volumes but coming now to the forefront really upsets the dynamics of the series and the entertainment from Sota's dates and relations with the other girls.
The art is good, the facial expressions are all so much fun, and besides the weird brother-sister thing, this has been such a fun series so far. Please just ditch the brother-sister thing!
