this was a really good hentai i thought, with great potential but was sadly unfinished with only 2 episodes made. it is not often you find a hentai with a decent plot, but this was one of them. i notice that all the reviews for this anime have been rated down. why? i fully expect mine to be rated down too. nevertheless, here goes... the art is lush, the characters are very attractively drawn, including the men for once, which adds to the appeal of the hentai scenes. the sex scenes are explicit (in the first episode- the second ep. is censored, and i'm sorry to say, done in very crass way with huge mosaics that completely ruins the art) and shows the men as well as the women enjoying themselves, which was refreshing. with one exception all the sex is consensual, and are acts of love between people who care for each other.

the storyline is set during the time of the shinsengumi, so there is a lot of political intrigue, which i found a little hard to follow as with only 2 eps there wasn't time to further expand the plot. there was some swordplay also but that was limited which is a bit of a negative.

this is well worth a watch; a political drama with a feminist element and appealing characters. what a darn shame this series did not continue.
