If there’s one kind of hentai that I’ll watch before anything else, it’s the comical ones. In general, they tend to have a bit more plot or at the least more likeable characters and situations. I don’t think any hentai have really shocked me, but there’s been enough where it’s just, well, ewww. With the romantic type stuff, you rarely have that and end up with some more fun situations. Girl Next Door is just like that.
Enter Masahiko, a young man whose really wanting to find a woman from his youth that he’s fallen in love with. He only remembers scant details, mostly that she wore a straw hat, but that he has a fond memory of her when he was injured once. Masahiko, like any male lead these days, has a bevy of women after him for different reasons. Unfortunately, Masahiko is trying to save himself for this mysterious woman from his past, which means he’s having a difficult time trying to keep it in his pants.
Masahiko has two girls he’s definitely hot for in the sisters Kikyo and Asuka. His dreams about them and how they fight over him are closer than he knows, because in reality the younger sister is very protective of her relationship with Masahiko. And that’s even with Kikyo going to Masahiko’s house every day and doing the cooking and cleaning, as Masahiko and his father live together by themselves since his mother had died some time ago. But in this respect, Masahiko barely even lets Kikyo register to him.
At school, it’s just as bad. There’s one classmate there whose stalking him, such as crawling up from under a chair during a class movie to give him a blowjob (and that’s before she actually introduces herself). She uses that method to try and corner him into being her boyfriend. Then there’s the one teacher who just wants some of Masahiko’s superior genetic material for her own experiments…
Not enough? Well, his boss at the restaurant is in deep desire mode for any man since her husband is away on business for a very extended length of time, so much so that she haunts the local park and calls for men to come and rape her in the bathroom. And, of course, there’s one final woman whose visiting from America and now living with Masahiko, his childhood friend Fong Lee. She’s back to train in the dojo with his father so she can learn some new crippling moves.
There are more women too, which just brings things to a boggling level at times, but the fact that Masahiko never gets further the a blowjob with any of them up until the last scene of the disc is a testament to this young mans powers. He tries to stay true until he can find the one he truly loves, even with all these obstacles. His friend helps keep the action rolling along though and there’s plenty of other very amusing moments, such as an exorcism he manages to perform, but there’s just a lot of teasing sex for a good part of this.
But amazingly enough, it works really well within the context of the shows aims. Rather than throw out the plot after the first girl makes a pass at him, he tries to stay true to himself and continue his search. Masahiko’s not a clueless schlub either, he knows full well there’s some women after him, but not all women. He’s simply trying to balance a dream against reality. While that may make this a bit of a lighter hentai, it’s still a really good one. With gorgeous character designs and some really vivid color designs for them, this show comes out looking great.
I’d definitely put this one in the couples-friendly category, since being able to laugh with each other during these kinds of shows is a good thing. Definitely recommended.
[edit] English Version
An English dubbed version of the OAV was released on DVD, with voicework done by several Adult Film stars. Most notably Ron Jeremy, Abbey Wade and Natalie Fiori. It is currently available as a Region 1 DVD and can be easily purchased through websites like Amazon or Animenation.
[edit] Other Titles
A Bishoujo game was created before the OAV, and shares an identical plot to that of the Anime, minus a few characters and plot arcs that were removed due to time constraints. It has become relatively hard to acquire, but the images from within the game, are easily obtainable from various Hentai sites on the internet.
