Shoujo Ramune

Every genre has its Citizen Kane, whether in anime or hentai. Most would point to the Loli genre with the 1984 six-part OVA series Lolita Anime as its Citizen Kane. While it holds significance with its place in history, it has not aged well with the modern era other than being a time capsule. If there is one OVA that I think truly deserves to be crowned that accolade, Shoujo Ramune would be the one to fulfill that position, no questions asked. When talking about this hentai, you will get a lot of polarizing reactions. This is hentai that is about as niche as you’re evergoing to find. Lolicon is a genre that doesn’t have it as its main trope. Usually, you will have a loli girl in hentai that isn’t the centerpiece of it and only as a side thing for people who are into it. Similar to futanari, although futanari is more generally accepted than lolicon. It would be a no-brainer for me to say that if lolicon is not in your bag, this is definitely not for you. However, if you are, this is the best you will get out of the genre. Many people find Shoujo Ramune polarizing because the story is very slice of life. In fact, the setting almost looks like it’s set in the town from the anime Non Non Biyori. You have three little girls visiting the candy shop of a man who, for all intents and purposes, grooms them into sexual escapades. This isn’t like a loli situation involving some goofy scenarios that aren’t based on real ones. And because of that, this situation might turn off your typical normie who thinks this stuff is sickening. You’re in for a real treat if you can get over it. What makes Shoujo Ramune amazing right from the get-go is its production values. The animation is extremely good in all of the sex scenes. They don’t look cheaply thrown together or rigid like many typical hentai studios usually do to cut corners in their animation department. All girls look super adorable, and their proportions look appropriate to their size. The voice actresses also give them cute personalities both in the sex scenes and outside of them. They pull off the archetypical loli voices quite well, and not to the point where they get annoying like some tend to be. The quality of the sex scenes themselves is varied and isn’t copied and pasted into each episode. One involves two girls having a yuri-tastic sex scene; it’s not often you see a loli yuri scene in hentai, and boy is it one you cannot miss if those two things are your jam. My favorites are personally the ones involving Komako because of the actress’s sexy voice she gives her and how Komako interacts with our male protagonist’s chin-chin. Chie and Tenko definitely have their great moments, particularly one involving Chie and a classroom desk chair. The only downside is that the episodes are less than 20 minutes long. While the sex scenes aren’t short, they could have at least thrown in one more in each episode to spice things up a bit. While the story isn’t something to write home about, they provide a good template for our girls to have their own side stories. It’s always a plus to have context for hentai scenes to make them more enjoyable. One involving Komako wanting to make love to Chie and giving our main protagonist a reward for helping her achieve it was pretty nice. Another is Tenko wishing to be famous and the candy man telling her to become an idol as an excuse to make her do very suggestive things to him. You could make the case that this is a subtle commentary on the idol industry, but you can clearly tell the writers couldn’t care less to explore further. As mentioned before, Shoujo Ramune isn’t going to be for everyone. If you can’t get over lolicon or the culture surrounding it, this review will not likely sway you one way or another. It’s one of those situations where no one can’t argue one way or another if you are offended by something like Shoujo Ramune. For me and others who can get down with some lolis when we’re in that mood, this is something that shouldn’t be passed over. Grade: A

I always wondered why and how these things are made, but maybe I shouldn’t question it. Story 10/10 Now before you go screaming “Oh this a Hentai, of course, there is not Plot” but this did have some plot into it. Each girl has their own side story into it, I’ll explain more in a little while, but Each EP has us going trough 2 Girls side story with the occasional sex scene (of course), but in all honesty, the story dives deep with the characters (No pun intended) that at some point, I thought I was watching a regular Anime Art 10/10 The Art is more modern thanI thought it will be, but that probably just because I’ve been watching hentai from before 2010, but, for some weird reason, the eyes remind me of Love Live! School Idol Project, which got me mixed up at some point, but apart from that, the art is awesome, sure it’s censored, but it’s still great, it’s drawn really well and the animation was also something well done, the movements and way he ‘did’ it’s something to say about his abilities, and don’t even get me started on sound. Sound 10/10 Now here comes the sound, the BGM (Background Music) impacted this in a way that it just isn’t moaning and ‘swishy’ sounds, it contains Music which makes it less boring. Now for when ‘sex’ is happening, the sound is ridiculously good. One time they were in a Bench, and when they were ‘moving’ you can actually hear the benches wood being hit, I was amazed at that point, also of other sounds were also included with the scene, apart from the moaning of course. Character 10/10 Now like I said before, this does have its own side story to each girl, with that said, One of them was trying to be popular, so Kiyoshi (Main male) suggested her in becoming an Idol, another one loved another girl, in wish they both ‘Studyed’ how to make her feel good, while the other one, was just mostly neutral, being cute and happy most of the time. All of them have their own stories to tell during the series. Enjoyment 10/10 This was something that can be enjoyed by Lolicons such as my self. This is something that offers enough story mixed in with the sex scenes that we get, which is something that isn’t done very often, but also it has no resistance when done this, I wished they would offer more resistance, but other than that, this is a well-made series. Overall 10/10 Overall, I think some parts of it were not expected in the series, but that’s just me… The way the plot was told really surprised me and how the characters actually build up the main male is another thing. This might not be for people who like their girls to be big in every way, but this is more for people who like things a bit more tiny than usual if you what I mean.

There are few things that you really regret watching. But this is beyond that. It has already been more than two years since I've watched this and I'm still ashamed to not have switched off at the first second. Especially because I forced myself to go through with it. I found this so disgusting and disturbing when I first started it, but as you force yourself through this, your psychological barrier goes lower and lower. All this time afterwards I can at least say that, although my intrusive side always tells me otherwise, I am not a paedophile. I am still ashamed to even have thison my list, let alone in my head. I really wish that I had never watched it, also since it was one of those things you only watch because they're infamous. Truly an alltime low...

Honestly, this was amazing. Yes I know, this work may not be for everyone, different to other explicit works involving loli content, Shoujo Ramune is more realistic than the rest, the very much realistic setting and character acting makes a lot of people weirded out due to the realism. However, for those who have no problem with this sort of issue, this piece of work is fantastic, and the characters are even better. I loved the storytelling, and the smooth switches between the "slice of life" scenes and the actual hentai scenes, the cute and small girls with different personalities, all of it was lovely. And dont even getme started on the nice sounds and voice acting during the sex scenes, kudos to the voice actors for nailing in the moment with their high pitched voices. All in all, if you like loli content, you surely must have heard about this piece of work already due to its popularity, but if you have not, I recommend watching this. As for the last note, the character I loved the most was Komako, her more experienced and lewd nature during the sex scenes was truly erotic and made me love her even more. That is all, I hope you have a nice day, dear reader -Joevil
