      Wortina War: No, Ryoma hasn't, at least not explicitly, and not for a lack of willing participants. Like Bookworm, there's a whole lot of rape going on off camera. Moving on.

      Ryoma slept with a maid loaned to him by the ruler of the territory next to his, unless I'm misremembering.

        Yes. I believe he also is said to have slept with women while out with his men at brothels or something.

        Monster Tamer has the main character having sex too if that wasn't covered (nothing too explicit).

        And Welcome to Japan Ms Elf does as much cuddly physical closeness as it can with the clothes on in the first two volumes. Curious if that'll go there.

        For Anime / LN:

        White Album 2 has a very major sex scene in the anime adaptation (it's as explicit as a broadcast thing can be without showing full nudity). The Visual Novel also features this, though the all ages cleans it up a bit. I don't know what the LN version does.

          For another JNC title, Tearmoon Empire (see Exhibit A: Miabel).

            Ideal Sponger Life, the protagonist literally gets summoned for the purpose of making babies.

              Admittedly, I rushed my initial message and missed several (ahem) prominent characters like Diablo and Yuuto.

              I'd like to add one to the anime list. Parasyte the Maxim. My son was watching it and I remembered that the MC does get together with his GF before the end of the series.

                I think there's a difference between "and then MC had a child" and the more direct mentions of physical relations that this topic seems to be the focus of.

                (Also, probably a difference between MC having relations with other major (or at least named) characters and "MC visited a brothel" like in Death March.)

                  @stardf29 Agreed, having the plot point of "child that they had at some point travels back from the future" is very different from a story having a clear physical relationship between two characters. I think we need exclude any LN that only has the "and they had a child at some point in the future" element from this topic. Otherwise we stray away from the original point of this topic.

                  “There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

                    Not a JNC item (in fact I don’t think it has a US publisher at all yet), and the anime was lackluster at best, but Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (“The 8th Son? Are you kidding me?”) is surprisingly full of intimate relations, to the point of his harem having a deliberate orgy with him in order to scare off a potential additional woman (who later becomes a mistress anyway). In fact, it also has one of the more surprisingly romantic relationships, with him going out of his way to treat another mistress (who is 12 years his senior despite his being 16 at the time - giving some strong “Are you okay with a slightly older girlfriend” vibes - and also his former sister in law) with loving attention and care.

                    A programmer is just a complex method of turning caffeine into source code.

                      Or Ryoma in Wortinia War...

                      I'm not sure about Diablo from How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord. He runs right down the fine line between "Yeah, he did." and "No, he didn't."

                      Regardless, I'm going to agree with you that New Lifehitting the local brothel probably shouldn't count, nor should nameless side characters, like a nameless maid.

                      Now if want to go back and reread New Life + to see if the 90 YO reincarnated MC got frisky. I'm remembering there was a "Did he or didn't he?" scene between him and one of the girls. That debate got rather heated.

                        what I'm certain of (so far):

                        • 3rd base/Lewinski'd with the covergirl of vol 11
                        • gotten pretty frisky with the bunny/guildmaster
                        • 2nd base(?) with Rem (in volume 1) and lot's of cuddling
                        • whatever that was with our biscuit loving demon in the last episode
                          From what I can tell still hasn't consumated his marriages with either of his wives(?)
                          ...but certainly 'physical' to some degree. So whether he 'did it' or not depends of defining what 'it' is

                        I read banned books

                            No, @Wellwisher mentioned it as the third item in the included list, though that list was long enough that it was hidden in a spoiler tag. It appears nobody chose to discuss the series beyond that, though.

                            I haven't read the series, so I can't speak to how much it does or does not count as a physical "relationship" for purposes of the OP's intent, rather than the titular context of it being more of a transaction.

                              @durask I'm not sure if it's forgetting as much as overlooking the "professional" in the room.

                                Basically when it comes to getting physical, there are several levels of depiction:

                                1. Nothing at all. Zip. Nada. Perfectly clean here folks.
                                2. They k-kiss. It was nice. They have babies in the future.
                                3. Heavy make out. Probably a reference to others doing it, but not our MC (yet?).
                                4. They did it. Probably. Not gonna say when. Alternatively, he went to some brothel.
                                5. Some foreplay and fade to black.
                                6. They do the do. Here's some graphic description. (aka the JK Haru)

                                  the whole topic is spoilers but still

                                  one of the series I read on BT before -so might be edited differently/ or slightly different content (I don't know if BT translated the LN or the WN) but it was rather explicit

                                  I read banned books

                                    @Jon-Mitchell Huh. I read the JNC translation but gave up around v10 I think. Sill don't think it's enough to make me revisit lol, but if it ever comes back to catchup I might skim through (though it just did back in September so it'll probably be a while).

                                        In my experience with Manga/LN/Anime (excluding hentai of course) the vast majority of the media that includes sex at all fall into one of these three. Even some of the lewder ones (like Monster Tame and If it's for my daughter...) really just say enough to let you know they are having sex and then skip over what happens.

                                        Having spent most the year just reading LN, it was a bit of a culture shock to read a western novel where (spoiler for lewdness)

                                            In the case of JK Haru you're talking fairly descriptive explicit scenes virtually every two pages.
