Mahou Shoujo Ai 05 English Sub UNC

In a certain town, consecutive phantom assaults take place. As the incidents are extraordinary, a rumor is heard. A ghost or supernatural creature would cause these spectacular incidents. The students at the school Akitoshi went to are scared. One day, an unknown girl appears in the establishment. However, all the students except Akitoshi think they recognized her. Feeling strange, he follows her in order to investigate her but loses sight of her.

At that moment, he hears the scream of a woman from the nearby courtyard and goes to the place where the scream is coming from. There he finds the school’s cute girl, Mikage. Mikage is surrounded by « Yuragi » (fluctuation) monsters, and she ends up hanging naked. Yuragi notices Akitoshi and starts attacking him. Then the fighter, Ai, appears and kills them. Akitoshi looks at Ai. What was her true character, an enemy or an ally?

The characters are actually quite successful. Akitoshi is naive and a bit too curious for his own good, but he’s basically honest and kind-hearted. Ai is outwardly cold and somewhat dismissive, but she has a softer side that she rarely shows. Emotionally isolated after centuries of loneliness, Ai begins to open up, just a little, to Akitoshi over the course of the series.

Sex scenes are sometimes played for expected hentai value. But surprisingly often, they seem to be designed to frighten rather than arouse, consistent with how the Yuragi operate. Also, while Ai is inevitably raped, it’s a nice subversion of how things normally go in hentai. Instead of her breaking up, there always comes a time when Ai has had ENOUGH, and that usually means an awesome beating is about to ensue.
