Futari Ecchi (Japanese: ふたりエッチ, Hepburn: Futari Etchi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Katsu Aki. It has been serialized in Young Animal since December 1996, with the chapters later combined into tankōbon volumes by Hakusensha, of which there are ninety as of February 2024. The series follows a newlywed couple in their mid-twenties, both virgins when they married, and chronicles their sexual explorations. The manga combines erotic elements with factual and informative statistics. Its title Futari Ecchi ("two person ecchi") is a play on a slang term for masturbation, hitori ecchi ("single person ecchi"). The series has 29.5 million copies in print and is most famous for being a how-to guide combined with a story. Two spin-off manga have been released, Futari Ecchi for Ladies focusing on the sexuality of women and Futari Ecchi Gaiden: Akira, The Evangelist of Sex focusing on Akira. There are also two sex manuals and an art book. The series was adapted into a three episode live-action television drama that aired on WOWOW in 2000.
