Pure Mail easily ranked on the top of my favorite hentai list from the first 10 minutes. The plotline, while simple, was incredible and a unique idea for a hentai. The 30 minute episodes include the effects of child abuse, meeting people on the internet and a dysfunctional family. The main male protagonist, Kei is by far the most complex hentai character I've come across. One very unique aspect of this series is characters with a back story. Kei becomes lovable within the first few minutes and you find yourself rooting for him to find real tangible love. The main female protagonist, Midori shares justas much complexity with her own personal family issues and fear of relationships. The relationship between AW/EVE is so genuine you forget you're watching a hentai.

The only negative aspect of the series was the completely irrelevant side characters. Honestly, I don't even know the name of the girl who blackmails Kei into becoming her slave because I skipped that entire scene, she doesn't even reappear after that. This hentai would be a solid 10 if it wasn't for the 2 unnecessary and long sex scenes involving characters that have absolutely no effect on the main plotline.

As much as I dislike and don't agree with rape scenes, the one in Pure Mail was excellently placed and defended. You are introduced to how scarred Kei is from his father and how unfamiliar he is with true love. I thought I wasn't going to like Miki, Midori's best friend, but I ended up really appreciating her unselfish personality, sensitivity to Kei's situation and care for Midori.

All the characters are fully wrapped up with acceptable endings. I believe the mark of a good hentai is finding yourself really rooting for the two characters to hook up consensually and romantically.

If you're looking for a hentai with complexity, well-developed characters and true love, Pure Mail is perfect for you. You may want to skip some scenes if you don't enjoy random irrelevant sex scenes with no substance or if certain topics make you uncomfortable but this hentai is definitely worth watching at least once.
