Eiken (エイケン Eiken?) is a heavily fanservice-themed manga/anime created by Seiji Matsuyama, which depicts the life of schoolboy Densuke Mifune after he is forced into the mysterious Eiken Club, which is populated by females only, several of which have enormous breasts.
The manga series ran for eighteen volumes, and additionally included a series guidebook. A number of radio drama episodes and two OVAs (the latter roughly based off of a volume 3 storyline) have been produced.
The first six manga volumes have been released in North America, and any additional volumes do not yet have a release date.
[edit] Characters
- Chiharu Shinonome (東雲千春 Shinonome Chiharu)
Voiced by: Miwa Oshiro (Japanese), Becky Chiang (English)
The red-headed Chiharu is considered one of the most attractive girls at Zashono Academy. Her bustline initially measures at 88cm (F-cup) and progresses throughout the series to beyond 100cm. She's shy around boys, because she came from an all-girls school. Densuke tripped on a banana peel in the first episode, landing hands-first on Chiharu's chest. Like Densuke, she's a recent member of the mysterious Eiken Club and always finds Densuke falling onto her bosom or stumbling upon her while she's undressing one way or another (accidentally, or one of Kirika's own brand of practical jokes), yet she doesn't seem to hold anything against him for it, and also has feelings for him. Due to the enormous size of her breasts, they are very sensitive, and when they are forcefully touched or squeezed Chiharu appears to be overcome by the sensation. Due to the sheer size of her breasts, she is forced to wear bras several sizes too small for her, which sometimes leads to her breasts popping out of the bras.
- Densuke Mifune (三船伝助 Mifune Densuke)
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English)
A plain boy no one seems to notice, Densuke was forced into the Eiken Club after an accidental run-in with Chiharu, whom he develops a crush on. He eventually accepts his place in the club, despite being tormented by Kirika and the other mishaps that befall him. Densuke is frequently forced to cross-dress by Kirika, who enjoys forcing him to.
- Kirika Misono (御園霧香 Misono Kirika)
Voiced by: Masumi Asano (Japanese), Cindy Robinson (English)
Not much is known about Kirika, except she runs the Eiken Club, and has a 99cm (G-cup) bust. She likes putting Densuke in awkward situations for her amusement and loves eating, especially anything banana or sausage shaped (which is subtle phallic symbolism). In many cases, it's revealed she doesn't wear panties.
- Komoe Harumachi (春町小萌 Harumachi Komoe)
Voiced by: Marina Ono (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
The youngest member (6th grader) of the Eiken Club (aside from Kuma), but also the most well-endowed, with an 111cm bustline. Komoe is very clumsy, but always striving to do her best. Her clumsy mistakes often leave her exposed, and has a habit of falling onto Densuke.

- Kyoko Morooka (諸岡京子 Moro'oka Kyōko)

Voiced by: Emi Yabusaki (Japanese), Jessica Gee (English)

When the Eiken Club was in grave danger (Chiharu had been forced to fill a resigning form, and the club building destroyed), it was Kirika's turn to save the day by stating the TRUE reason where exactly had the money for running the clubs had gone and why would Cho pay so much attention on the crushing of the Eiken Club. In fact, Cho had also been slightly infatuated with Densuke, unnoticed by herself.

Under the threat of the abolishment of her club, she is used by Cho as a bait in order to lure Densuke into quitting the Eiken Club, but is soon defeated by his kind heart and gentleness, and she asked for the abolishment of her club herself. She soon becomes a member of the Eiken Club, and after another accident with Densuke, becomes the new leader of Eiken.
