Ikoku Irokoi Romantan

In the story there is a feeling of the main character being traped as he is going to marry a woman he does not like for the sake of his familiy,The story starts when he goes onto the cruise ship he is getting married on where he meets the ships captain who loves Japanese culture,not being able to stand one night even in the same room as his new wife he goes of to the bar where he meets the captain agein,as from then there where coincides of them two which seemed to be destined wherever they go. The art is very good,thought out the ova'sthere is no point where I could complain about it as expected from PrimeTime who also brought us Koisuru Boukun,Kirepapa etc The cast of voice actors is great,the main character being voiced by Itou Kentarou who voices Hiroki from Junjou Romantica and the captain voiced by Suwabe Junichi who is Frau from 07 Ghost. In only two ova's is its hard to not have one dimensional characters,The characters don't change dramaticly thought out the ova's but Im not dissapointed in it,they change enough to be satisfied. The enjoyment was good,there where points where I wanted to scream of excitement and embarrassment as the main character lives up to his partner's needs which leads him into shame anpon family members and friends. Overall this is one of my favourite yaoi animes,don't just skip it becuase its not a series,I think for a boyXboy fan this is a much watch !

I'll make this review short and simple, as the anime was just that. I must say, I find myself surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this. I find that I enjoy objectively watching yaoi in attempts to find stories of romance that I enjoy. This one actually caught my attention. Although I am strongly against what i call the 30 minute I love you, I did very much like the idea. A man forced to marry someone he doesn't love, only to find the one hes been waiting for right under his nose. The bit about the human trafficking wasn't entirely necessary...but eh, I canlive with it. My only other issue is that Al was a bit too perverted for my taste... The Seiyuu's and the art were as good as I could have asked for, and I love the serious tone! I'm a business kind of person. All and all, well done for a two episode yaoi!

I'll keep this simple - if you're just looking for ANY yaoi, ANY action...be my guest. You don't really have anything to lose with this show, but there's no gain to watching it either. My main issue with the whole thing is that the relationship between Al and Ranmaru starts with Al forcing himself on Ranmaru while just telling him that it's okay (because somehow that justifies it in yaoi). I watched the first one and didn't enjoy it but figured I had to see it through, and it got worse. The plot goes all over the place and somehow Ranmaru ends up for auctionin some weird viewing for rich men on ANOTHER boat...he gets sexually assaulted from which he should be traumatized, then they both decide to have sex in the middle of the boat with one of the previous assaulters punched up by Al right beside them. And the fact that Ranmaru is still married never goes away and in the end, he just runs away with Al without ever actually resolving the whole family/marriage part of the barely existing plot. Overall, not a great experience. This is just your typical yaoi, fits the genre if that's what you're looking for, but overall not recommended. If you want something more on the yaoi side that actually has substance try something like Ai no Kusabi (1992).
