{{Nihongo foot|Hensuki: Are You Willing to Fall in Love with a Pervert, as Long as She's a Cutie?,|可愛ければ変態でも好きになってくれますか？|Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasuka?|lead=yes|group=Jp.}} also known as {{Nihongo foot|Hensuki,|変好き|group=Jp.}} is a Japanese harem, romantic comedy light novel series written by Tomo Hanama and illustrated by sune. It was published by Media Factory under their MF Bunko J imprint from January 2017 to January 2022. A total of fourteen volumes have been published. The series follows Keiki Kiryū, a high school student who seeks the identity of the sender of an unnamed love letter attached to underwear, which consequently leads him to discover the special hidden peculiarities of the girls in his life.
A manga adaptation of Hensuki with illustration by CHuN was serialized in Fujimi Shobo's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Dragon Age from November 2017 to December 2020. It has been collected into six tankōbon volumes as of February 2021. A drama CD was released in May 2018, along with a RPG browser game released on the same date. A 12-episode anime television series adaptation by Geek Toys aired from July to September 2019. Reviews of the first episode from the English language anime adaptation were mixed. While critics praised the effort that went into it, they criticized the lack of personalities for the female leads. The original Japanese light novel release fared better as the seventh volume became a top-seller.

{{See also|List of Hensuki characters}}
Hensuki revolves around Keiki Kiryū, an ordinary high school student who finds an anonymous love letter addressed to him. What makes things even more interesting is that attached to the letter, there's a pair of panties. To determine the identity of his secret admirer, referred to as "Cinderella", Keiki proceeds to investigate several possible candidates, including his senior and president of the {{Nihongo foot|Calligraphy Club|書道 クラブ|Shodō Kurabu|group=Jp.}} Sayuki Tokihara; his underclasswoman and assistant librarian Yuika Koga; and his classmate and close friend Mao Nanjō. However, as Keiki seeks to uncover who this mysterious girl might be, he discovers that every girl he suspects is singularly perverted and desperately interested in getting him to participate in their perversion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.animeunited.com.br/noticias/animes/hensuki-e-confirmado-para-o-catalogo/|title=Hensuki é confirmado para o catálogo da Funimation Brasil e México|author=Ana|website=Anime United|language=pt|date=October 30, 2020|access-date=May 8, 2021|archive-date=October 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211016222958/https://www.animeunited.com.br/noticias/animes/hensuki-e-confirmado-para-o-catalogo/|url-status=live}}

Theron Martin gave the highest rating of 3/5 stars saying that the title "Hensuki", translated to "Perverted Love" is "exactly the premise of the series". Martin also stated that the visual style and animation level is "definitely a bit more ambitious that the typical harem series". he concluded by saying that watching the whole series was a "borderline call" due to it not being as "flagrantly sexy as some", but praised the effort that went into it.{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2019/summer/hensuki-are-you-willing-to-fall-in-love-with-a-pervert-even-if-she-a-cutie/.148804|title=Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, even if she's a cutie?|work=The Summer 2019 Anime Preview Guide|publisher=Anime News Network|date=July 8, 2019|accessdate=June 2, 2023|archive-date=August 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190806084050/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2019/summer/hensuki-are-you-willing-to-fall-in-love-with-a-pervert-even-if-she-a-cutie/.148804|url-status=live}} Rebecca Silverman gave the first episode 2/5 stars saying it felt "like a tease" and was "dull" due to the plot pace, and lack of character development. Silverman also went on to say that the artwork was "washed out", the characters are "bland", and the first episode felt a "bit too predictable".
Reviewers Nick Creamer, and James Beckett both gave the first episode 1/5 stars. Creamer criticized how oblivious the main protagonist Keiki Kiryū is, and how the female characters have no personalities outside of their love for him. Meanwhile, Beckett stated that the first episode was "absolutely devoid of both laughs and sex appeal", and went on to echo Creamer's criticism of how the female characters have no "discernable personalities". Beckett cited Keiki not having "an ounce of chemistry with a one of them" as an issue in particular. Caitlin Moore from "Anime Feminist" also gave the first episode a negative review by criticizing how none of the girls' personalities were generally established before they fell in love with the protagonist. She went on to say that while Harem anime has never been a mainstay of feminism, "at least their casts used to have personalities".{{cite web|url=https://www.animefeminist.com/review-hensuki-are-you-willing-to-fall-in-love-with-a-pervert-as-long-as-shes-a-cutie-episode-1/|title=HenSuki – Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, as long|author=Caitlin Moore|work=Anime Feminist|date=July 11, 2019|accessdate=June 2, 2023|archive-date=June 2, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602164945/https://www.animefeminist.com/review-hensuki-are-you-willing-to-fall-in-love-with-a-pervert-as-long-as-shes-a-cutie-episode-1/|url-status=live}}
