Series Plot Summary
Kintarou Oe doesn't look like it, but he is a genius who completed all his university courses and then quit before graduating. He becomes a wandering student, going from place to place on his bicycle, seeking to learn what he can about life, the world, and women. He is willing and able to do any job he has to prove himself. His travels take him to a variety of locations and a variety of women, each who learns to love the hardworking guy, but not before he can run off.
My Thoughts on the Series
This is one of the funniest anime series I've ever seen! It's so crazy. Kintarou's a dirty pervert obsessed with women. Each episode has him with a different job and a new woman to obsess over. As dirty as the show is, each story has a nice ending. Kintarou ends up making a big difference in the lives of the women he admired. I highly recommend it!
Also, I want to point out that this series is not hentai (no sex). While there is some nudity, this series is primarily comedy.
