Synopsis: A naive teenage boy, Fukuda Shinichi , decides to spend his summer at cram school. He is not much of anything, not handsome, popular, sporting or smart. At high school he was the captain of his school's cheerleading squad. This is his only passion.
On his way to cram school with a friend, planning to make the most of the chance to raise his grades, he discovers that the plan was never what his friend had in mind. He is diverted into a summer of excitement, but they are waylaid by two beautiful girls who take them to a crooked bar where the drinks are insanely overpriced. It becomes a matter of pay or die at the hands of the criminals who own the bar.
Shinichi is rescued by his role model, the previous captain of the school cheerleading squad, Ume. In order to survive, he takes work with Ume's employer. Unfortunately, Ume works as a male escort (gigolo) in a bar that specializes in providing bored lonely women with distraction.
He decides to approach the situation using his only talent, cheering others on.

What I thought:

Really whacky and funny manga. Best part about this manga is the uniqueness of the premise. This manga has every sort of character... cliched ones and some unique ones too... but the combination is spectacular... you have the ugly male host, the uber cool male host, a transvestite, a dominatrix(ish) boss-woman, a couple of high school girls one studious and one... err... less studious... an overzealous cop... and lots of random lonely pretty women...

Characters are all quirky.... there is humor, drama and budding romance in there... mangaka has taken care to give each character some sort of backstory... and backstories are in progress for some of the main characters in the recent chapters...

This is one series there could easily be a Live Action version of and it would probably be crazy good too... Oh yeah... Ace and Arrow would like this one since it is slice of life genre (At least IMO it is slice of life)...

Scanslations are not especially quick... but they seem to be regular... about one chapter every fortnight...

Going strong this one... One of the better Slice of Life manga out there... obviously still pretty far out there... but still slice of life... and hilarious as all hell... latest chapters have only added to the fun...
