Boku no Pico 01 English Sub

An effeminate boy, named Pico, works at his grandfather’s cafe during the summer, hoping to make some friends. He soon meets a man called « Mokkun », who seduces him, believing him to be a girl. Later, in Tamotsu’s house, Pico asks him if he loves him, but he doesn’t say a word. Pico runs away and cuts his hair. Tamotsu goes looking for him and the two reconcile at the end of the episode.

A boy with blond hair works part-time in his grandfather’s bar. He is often depicted swimming, usually naked. He has been wearing girls’ clothes since Tamotsu (Mokkun) gave him some as a gift. Later, he feels hurt that Tamotsu doesn’t define their relationship. He rebels by cutting his hair and running away from home, although they later reconcile. The following summer, Pico meets Chico. He soon befriends Chico and they form a romantic and sexual relationship.

On the surface, Boku no Pico is nothing more than a very well animated shota with many sex scenes. But it’s what lies beneath, what isn’t said that makes this a somewhat disturbing OVA, even more so than the next two episodes which also feature Pico. There is no romance in this OVA, which is strange considering the content. Mokkun, a somewhat bland character, spots Pico and ends up having sex with the underage boy. This brings to mind stories of teachers having sex with their young children that we see in the newspapers from time to time. Of course, I’m not trying to say this is anything but shota porn, no. Merely that it stands out to me because of its stark realism. There are no roses and flowers in this OVA, no love, no happy ending.
