Shinohara Mizuki is a high-school student who is also a very promising male model. When
the mysterious Haruno sees him, she wants to make him the centerpiece for her company's latest promotion. To
lure Mizuki in, she calls on the talents of her twin brother, Kazuomi. Before you know it, Kazuomi snares
Mizuki and they're both living together in Mizuki's apartment (the rich gaki!). And would you know it, Kazuomi's
idea of rent payment is to teach the virginal Mizuki all the pleasures of the flesh. ^^;; |

PWP. Ok, there IS a storyline - which is most probably better fleshed-out in the manga -
but in the OVA, you'd be surprised at how quickly Kazuomi makes his move on Mizuki, and how quickly
Mizuki allows himself to be uh, 'educated'. *snerk* The whole anime is mostly about the lovey-dovey couple and
their gradual move towards full-blown sex. ^_~ Quite a few lemon/lime scenes here, and pretty explicit, except
all you can see of the men bits are the whitish outlines. Don't ask. As for the romance factor, it's not
realistic, although it's very light-hearted and sappy. I'd say just watch it for the pretty yaoi parts. |

MAIN CHARACTERS |
: |
Just the seme and the uke, and the woman, lol. |

SHINOHARA MIZUKI. *uber uke alert* He's kawaii and so uke, you'd think he's
half-woman. He's our rich, lonely, naive little boy who gets maneouvered into letting Kazuomi into his apartment. ^_^; Oh but anyway, it's pretty fun watching him
get introduced to all that is pleasure, LOL. |

HONJOU KAZUOMI. He's so obviously a ladies' man that you dunno whether he's
spineless, or just plain charming. Basically he lives off women, playing a toyboy, I suppose. He makes the same move on Mizuki, except one thing's different. He's genuinely
fascinated by Mizuki and even falls in love with him. *heartmark* |

YOROI HARUNO. She's the twin sister of Kazuomi, and strikes me as an elegant,
and very shrewd woman. She knows she wants Mizuki's popularity and knows how to get it. But at the
same time, she seems to share a pretty comfortable sibling relationship with Kazuomi. |

I'm afraid I've not read a single page of the manga at all, but from browsing around, I gather that
the manga is rather like the anime in the PWP sense of the word. I suppose it's unabashed pretty, graphic yaoi without much plot. |

ANIMATION |
: |
The characters are drawn nicely, and rather stylistically (Mizuki especially), with long
flowing lines of the body. The yaoi action is also smooth and unhurried, and hot, LOL. Overall, it's a
consistent, and above-average piece of animation, especially where yaoi anime is concerned.

VOICE-ACTING |
: |
You know, I always get the shock of my life when I find out that the voice actors for all
these yaoi anime are the famous ones (this is when I still can't differentiate various seiyuu by ear). ^^;;
Anyway, I wasn't impressed with Ishida Akira's portrayal of Mizuki. I thought it sounded OOC and his
uke voice makes my skin crawl, honestly. But to be fair, Mizuki IS a uber-uke, so I guess it's no wonder the
seiyuu makes him sound so...girlish. I suppose we can all excuse the ahem, plaintive whimpering and such.
Miki Shinichirou certainly doesn't need to flex any real seiyuu power here, but he's a very pleasant, charismatic Kazuomi. |

MUSIC |
: |
Can't comment too much on it, except...it sounds a tad sleazy? LOL. It's not one of
the better points of the anime for sure, but it isn't bad either. It's just there. ^^ |
