Tag Warning: Mind Break, Rape, NTR, Ugly BastardHeath Ledger’s Joker, Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh, Christoph Waltz’s Hans Landa - these are the onscreen portrayals I think of when I try to picture a great villain and joining their ranks is the coach from Akane wa Tsumare Somerareru. While the hentai as a whole was quite mid and being NTR it wasn’t suited to my more vanilla tastes considering I am a megavirgin who can absolutely self-inserts myself as the cuck, I just cannot deny the fact that the coach was one of the greatest villain portrayals I have ever witnessed in cinema so despite any preconceptions this one is just for the true cinephiles.
Story and Characters: 4 | 9
The story is pretty much as barebones as an NTR can get - a girl wants to support her crush by being an assistant on the boy’s baseball team but then the coach fucks her and because she loves her crush so much she lets him fuck her so that the coach won’t pull him from the team. In the end, she’s broken and discards her pure love to becomes the coach’s sex slave. Honestly, it's insultingly boring and just distasteful for a non-NTR enjoyer like myself. I was genuinely put off by the hentai but I stuck through to the end just to see how it ended and I have to say this coach is one of the most stomach-turning characters I have ever encountered in many ways. The overbearing domination the coach has over everything in his vicinity is genuinely sickening and as the girl struggles to not get swept away by his influence you experience that internal conflict she undergoes which makes you hate her as much as you empathize with her. The one underdeveloped character feels like the boy that our main girl is trying to protect so vehemently (by fucking the coach) and while this could be seen as a flaw, this lack of attention on him reflects exactly how she really feels about him as a scapegoat, a tool to justify her own actions.
While the story is very straightforward, to be able to execute such a complex character-driven experience the hentai cannot be bogged down by a more complicated plot so in a sense it is justified as it fulfills its role in providing a succinct medium where the very essence of the two main leads can be dissected and broken down to the deepest levels.

Visually I hate, yet love everything about this hentai which reflects how I feel about every other aspect of it. In the past, I have had very harsh opinions and have been very clear about my distaste for the excess of body fluids, disproportionate bodies and motion blur effect applied to the breasts which this hentai ticks every box and yet I cannot deny how perfect a pair this style is with the actual content of the hentai. For such a visceral and gut-wrenching hentai, it only makes sense that the visuals evoke that feeling in you as well and if you read the first bit of this review then you know what you’re in for when you boot up this hentai and it definitely isn’t sunshine and rainbows.
Villain: 10
I really have to dedicate a whole section to the Coach because he is truly a compelling character and when you have genuine hatred for a fictional character then you know that’s one hell of a villain. So let’s think about what makes a great villain, what story points can you include to create someone vile?
1. Make the villain more powerful in creative ways
In reality, our coach isn’t a powerful man, he’s a high school baseball coach plain and simple, but for such an insignificant role this man wields an unprecedented amount of influence. Within the sphere of Japanese high schools, baseball is the equivalent of football in American culture so just being on the baseball team gives you certain superiority over your peers making it one of the most coveted positions to hold within the hierarchy of high school and who controls those positions? The coach. So within the realm of high school students, our coach is a kingmaker who we’d never even take a second look at in real life, working behind the scenes yet essentially owning the backbone of high school society.
2. Let them win
This is real plain and simple. The most impactful diversion of a story is that the hero doesn’t win and here that is absolutely given to us but since its a hentai that diversion is rendered moot the moment you see the NTR tag because you know that ugly bastard won, you know the cuck lost, you know the girl lost and you know you, the viewer, has also lost the moment you clicked on the video.
3. The villain thinks they’re right
One of the vilest things you realize about a true villain is that they genuinely, unapologetically believe they are right. Our coach is the purest utilitarian you will ever see because as it gets revealed later on in the episode, he never cared about the girl or cucking the guy, all he cared about was honing a new tool to use to further his coveted baseball team. The coach threw her to the wolves as quickly as he broke her just to motivate his team and the worst part is that it actually worked considering the blowout match they showed later in the episode. The coach thinks his methods are absolutely and unequivocally flawless as they produce results.
4. The villain is in control
Staying on the coach’s method, one thing that takes away from a great villain is that their success is attributed to luck or unpredictability of their chaotic nature but what truly brings fear down to the bone is realizing every action is carefully considered and calculated. Everytime our protagonist struggles to beat the villain, the realization that they are playing exactly into the villain’s hand is a chilling feeling and our coach is exactly that. He knows his place as he does everyone he interacts with, he knows he owns the girl and he makes sure all the baseball members know it and that show of domination reveals on an instinctive nature the strength of the coach’s rule on his dominion.
Enjoyment: 1/10
I hated this hentai, my heart rejected everything from the plot to the characters to the visuals of it all. It took all my efforts to hold a somewhat objective view and throw out my anti-NTR preconceptions so if you really like NTR or purposefully grotesque visuals then you’ll love this but you pure of heart vanilla enjoyers should keep a wide berth from this hentai. Of course, the coach is a GOATed character and if you’re just going to watch this then go ahead but if you’re planning to fap then take a look at the tags before you go in.
