Overall, I found this a highly enjoyable DVD, but it does contain some reasonably explicit sex scenes, and I can appreciate that this might not be everybody's cup of tea. The ending, however, is a happy one, so fear not. The animation is very good, and while it's unfortunately in Japanese there are English subtitles. The story is set in Japan's seedy criminal underworld, where Yakuza-run casinos collect their debts by selling people into slavery or selling off their organs. Kanoh is a loan-shark who fits neatly into this world, and buys Ayase at one such auction, after Ayase was offered as collateral by his gambling cousin Ishii. Ayase doesn't remember Kanoh, but the two have some history, and Kanoh is absolutely obsessed with the pretty youth. But I won't tell you anymore, lest I spoil the story... The character of Kanoh is particularly interesting, as he swings between a bad man being bad and a bad man trying to be good. Ayase is stereotypically tragic, but sweet, and the combination works pretty well. Some extra angst is added by the fact that Kanoh is struggling with his sexuality, maintaining that he isn't gay, it's just that Ayase is special. Anyway, it's got some hot scenes, and just enough plot to make it interesting ;) -------------- Each DVD is 60 Min Long a Total of 120 minutes

BUYER BEWARE
I was hoping for a fun, sex-filled anime. I got lots of rape.I know that a lot of Japanese manga/anime like to show a significant difference in ages and heights in their main "romantic" characters, but NO MONEY take that predilection to obscene heights. The "hero," Kanou, is at least three times the breadth (shoulders and chest) and weight, and twice the height and age, of the boy Ayase, who claims to be a college student, but looks and sounds like a 13-year-old girl, which ups the obscenity factor.The story [I made the mistake of not reading the manga first, so I didn't know what I was letting myself in for] has the older beloved cousin of the boy Ayase sell him to pay off his gambling debts. Ayase is heavily drugged at the "auction," to make him pliable. He is bought by Kanou who, angered that drugged Ayase still manages to rebuke his sexual advances on their first night together, rapes him.Later, because his feelings are wounded that Ayase does not remember their first encounter during a rainstorm on the street at some previous unspecified time, Kanou turns Ayase into his personal whore, paying him every time they have sex so Ayase can pay off his cousin's debt and what Kanou paid for him. When Ayase finally says no to this program, Kanou threatens to have Ayase star in adult films that will effectively ruin any future he had hoped for himself, thus extorting him to accept and be paid for more sex.When Kanou rescues Ayase from even worse bad guys who kidnapped and pumped Ayase full of what are essentially high-powered aphrodisiacs, Kanou takes him home and, knowing he's pumped full of drugs, has sex with him. Repeatedly. That's rape, too. It's presented as triumphal love-making.But wait, it gets much much worse. The distributor decided to send along a DVD I did not order as a "gift": KISS IN THE DARK. This anime celebrates pedophilia, incest, and statutory rape, making them look like good things. High school freshman Mira has been raised by Kyosuke, a man he believes to be his father. He has slept in his "father's" bed since he was at least three or four. Kyosuke initiated sex with him when he was at least 12 or 13 and continues to have regular sex with him. The DVD synopsis calls this their "special bond."It does not matter that Mira enjoys the sex. It does not matter that he later learns he was adopted. Kyosuke called himself Mira's father, acted like Mira's father, and in Mira's mind Kyosuke was his father. When an adoptive parent or step-parent has sex with a child, even though there is no blood connection, that is still incest. And statutory rape. When an adult wants to have sex with a 12 or 13-year-old boy (possibly younger), that is pedophilia.You do not want to spend time with these people.

I had these DVD's recommended to me by a family member
Yukiya Ayase is a college student. His cousin Tetsuo Ishii betrays and sells him in an auction to settle his heavy debts. Ayase is bought by Somuku Kanou for 120 million yen.Kanou does this because he remembers Ayase from 4 years ago, when Ayase, a stranger, helped him. Now Kanou wants to keep Ayase close to himself, and uses the debt of 120 million yen to force Ayase to live with him. As Ayase is still a student and does not have a job, he is forced to sell his body to Kanou for 500,000 yen each time they have sex
