There are nice people in this world. mt-i is one of those nice people. Out of the kindness of his heart, he offered to mail me some manga (complete with furigana) for me to try my hand at reading. I didn’t ask for anything, he just did it. That’s pretty cool of him. I emailed him a big thanks, but I should probably send another one out since the guy deserves it. NSFW after the jump.

Naisho No Tsubomi is some manga that got an award for being a kids comic that talked about issues like sex and “what’s going on down there” in a sensitive and educational manner. Recently, an anime adaptation was made and it was… an OVA. Now, if this was some mainstream comic, why is the anime version released in this obscure direct-to-video format instead of being some corny afterschool special? Because the OVA is so panderific!

Do you like lolis? Do you like lolis learning about how their bodies work? Do you like lolis who freak out over their first period? Then this show is for you! I’m not sure how they did it in the original manga, but the way the anime handles these issues is less, “here girls, this is how your body works” and more “hey guys, this is how a little girl’s body works”, and I fucking love it. Honestly, the only really weak episode was the last one, mostly because they cut down on all the Sex and Violence and pulled some weird Sixth Sense shit at the end. Crazy.

Watching this raw is kind of a challenge– my Japanese sucks and this show delivers a lot of its entertainment by way of each episode’s individual plot. I can still follow the general plot points, but I miss a lot of the fine details. That’s okay, though– the real draw of this show is just how moe each of the girls are. Shiho really stole the show in this one with all the blushing she was doing. Real hot.

I just love how all the girls are hot for Minamoto. And to think this is a kid’s show…!

All is forgiven

She asked for a kid’s meal… that’s so adorable.

Man, they’re seriously catering to the lolicon otaku in this one. Other highlighs include Lucky Star, Shugo Chara, Yotsunoha (the anime sucks but I’ll be damned if Nono isn’t a totally cute design), Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and Zero no Tsukaima. I’d love to have it, since my walls are stuck in mid-2007, but I really have no money right now. Also, not like I’d be able to put up this Murasaki one, since I’m living with my parents. My 3 or 4 Kodomo no Jikan posters are bad enough…

Once I start work I should just get that year-long Megami subscription with my first paycheck…

Best part is they use this image for June; my birthday month. It’s like they knew all my favourite characters???
