Synopsis

Her name is Esumi Fuuka. Standing tall at 163 cm with a slender bodyline, she must be a university undergraduate; however, in reality, she is only an elementary school student. With a body figure of an adult and the mentality of a small child, she creates many misunderstandings around her.

Audience Consensus

Yoiko is a divisive ecchi comedy due to its lewd scenes involving an elementary school student. While some find the premise and characters funny, others criticize the poorly timed comedy, bland characters, and tonal inconsistencies. The basic art and animation also detract from the experience, making it a difficult recommendation despite its potentially humorous premise.

Strengths

  • Funny situations due to misunderstandings
  • Characters are crazy and entertaining
  • Naive soul and unusual ideas contribute to comedy

Weaknesses

  • Comedy is poorly timed and jokes are flat
  • Characters are bland
  • Tonal whiplash between ecchi and grade-school comedy
  • Art and animation are basic and lack style
