Shoujo the animation is a hentai that strikes at the heart of its watchers' masculinity/femininity. It is a remarkably good blend of interesting and by extension sexy character designs, an engaging plot (for a hentai), an absolutely mouthwatering setting and last but not least - it features a male lead with a clear sense of right and wrong. To top it off, the ending is spectacular and happy, leaving you satisfied with a warm feeling in your heart. The story is quite simple. Away from the big cities, in a rural area there's a large mansion owned by a wealthy and powerful man. That manhas amassed dozens of concubines throughout the years. He also happens to have a son, Kengo, who grew up with said concubines and treats them like his sisters. Likewise, the concubines have grown attached to Kengo and care deeply for him. However it is quite obvious that they're not happy because Kengo's father is extremely abusive and treats everyone like objects, rather than human beings. Lo and behold! Kengo takes it upon himself to free the women and end his father's tyranny, satisfying the concubines' sexual needs along the way.

The setting and the place where most of the sex scenes take place is stunning to say the least. It's a cave filled with shallow blue-ish water and a couple of waterfalls, illuminated by the ambient light the water gives off during midnight... and a few torches here and there. That's right. No bullshit or otherwise bland school or motel settings. This hentai takes you back to the nature. Each night the girls eagerly await Kengo, completely naked (apart from flower petals in their hair) and when he shows up, patently wait for their turn to be pleasured by the heroic protagonist, who gladly fulfills their needs as well as his own. If this doesn't scream masculinity/femininity then I don't know what does. The hero & concubines who show their gratitude and love to the protagonist at midnight combo is so glorious it'll rip your heart out.

The art is stroke inducing. The girls look natural. No exaggerations. Normal breasts, realistic hip to waist ratios and pubic hair too! Male anatomy seems to be spot on as well, i.e Kengo doesn't look like Schwarzenegger, nor is he 36 meters tall or have a penis the size of Eiffel tower - the makers went for realism and that's something that you don't see often in hentai.

Sound is... nothing special. However I have no complaints here because this isn't what one should be focusing on while watching H-work. Voice acting was pretty good and that's all that matters really.

All in all, there is much enjoyment to be had here. Decent story and characters + spectacular art & setting. Not something to miss!
