Story : 3
This hentai is worse than mediocre, it has committed the cardinal sin of showing that there was potential depth to the story then taking that potential plot, eating it and shitting it out as the garbage fire that it has presented to us. When I take the title and run it through Google translate I get what I expect "Rape legalization". Seems simple enough and reading the synopsis I get this but condensed : “Rape legal, everyone woman raped”. So as I expect, we get a montage of women just getting raped all over the place in the most grotesque was possible as men literally line up by the hundreds to fuck the idols that they stan so hard. We then get a montage of the same women getting fuck some more after they’ve been mind broken(You really can’t say mind broken sex and rape are the same, they’ve basically given in). Pretty boilerplate hentai stuff, expect they took it one step too far which pissed me off. They mentioned that there was political influence and left the possibility of a national conspiracy manipulating lawmakers to pass this law then led to a gang rape scene and a montage of pregnancy porn. At the end of the episode, I was left in disbelief and disappointment that this hentai was able to garner similar audience scores as some of the most forward thinking and structurally rich stories in hentai.
Legal Accuracy Consistency : 3
For a hentai dealing in the legalities of rape given the passage of this new legalization, the one quirk which made this show somewhat entertaining was playing around with how legal certain acts were with regards to rape. The cop scene was relatively entertaining as technically the man’s claim to rape the girls was justified, we do not see any injuries or evidence that the man assaulted them meaning their claim to self-defense was unjustified so they were guilty of assaulting him for doing something perfectly legal. That sliver of hope for the show keeping with this quirk was soon dissipated as the cop proceeds to commit malfeasance in office as he uses his position of authority unlawfully to kidnap the girls. With that, the charm of the ‘law abiding rapist’ quirk dissolved as he had committed an act of kidnapping. If the officer had just raped the girls right there then this would be perfectly legal but he moved them as in Article 224 of the Japanese Penal Code
“A person who kidnaps a minor by force or enticement shall be punished by imprisonment with work for not less than 3 months but not more than 7 years”[1]
And defining a minor as being under 20 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs policy [2] we see that our girls were high schoolers and thus presumably minors. Furthermore we have the man who rapes a married woman saying “Shutting yourselves inside your house is useless!” which hints that the man broke into the house meaning he was guilty of breaking and entering. It seems far fetched in my opinion that society would break down so far as to forget that the legalization of rape is a law and thus all other laws established beforehand must be maintained.
Art : 5
Personally, I am not the audience for giga-breasts and find that they take me out of the moment due to their ridiculousness and unrealistic scale. On the other hand, the faces, settings and character design were top notch in the realm of hentai with a very inconsistent standard of quality among different products.
Emotional Damage : 2
I’ve seen worse. This hentai doesn’t hold a candle to cult vore classics such as Euphoria or Dropout where I’ve seen more creative forms of rape and faces of girls who’s human value has been dragged through the mud and left to rot on a pile of faeces while their faces reflecting the degraded state of their being continue to haunt my waking moments as whispers of degeneracy. These women barely resist, barely feel pain, barely show an ounce of true horror as their own bodies are made as playthings for primal, savage beasts known as men. If you’ve seen any mildly disturbing hentai then this is a walk in the park and while newcomers might be put-off by this, it acts as a stepping stone for them in their journey to become as sick as the rest of us.
As I mentioned before, if this was all a satirical commentary on hentai and the broader Japanese culture then the choice of art and story was masterfully paired together. The extremely unrealistic body proportions of the females as a cold reflection of the oversexualization of women in society acting as a wakeup call to the consumer, the purge-esque vibe unleashed by the men of the hentai and the overly simple and primal plot that serves only to get to the raping mirroring Japan’s JAV market which has become severly oversaturated with rape themed content. All of this would be masterful however I am not ready to credit this work with being a sophisticated critique on modern hentai culture, we must take it at face value as a brainless escapade into pushing what kind of content consumers are willing pick up despite being completely devoid of any appreciation for the art form called hentai.
