This is the second yaoi I've ever watched and though I'm a proud fan of quality gayism these days, it killed all my good-hearted gay-loving intentions to give yaoi in general, as a genre, a chance.

Putting aside the obvious moral issues I have with the baffling and quite fucking creepy idea put into this story, these four episodes contain nothing that's connected to what it should be connected. It's a mix of explicit scenes, tears and rape sessions which, I guess, get people going. Which is you know, fine by me, should this be a pure porn of some fetish bullshit but there is ...

I have to admit, Okane ga Nai scared the fuck out of me the first time I watched it in my middle school years.

I was always scared about what would happen to the uke since I put myself into his shoes. Every episode increased my chances of a heart attack until I finished the series with sweat and hot breath. Even the most gruesome torture horror packed anime can't touch upon what I experienced from this yaoi.

Story: I can't. I just can't relive these memories.

Art: It was real enough to immerse me inside its reality.

Sound: The uke's screams sounded exactly like the ...

Okane Ga Nai is about Ayase, an 18-year old boy, who is sold on auction by his cousin, so that said cousin can pay off his debts. Ayase is bought by the handsome and violent Kanou, who Ayase apparently helped in the past or something. What he did is never really explained, but it was enough for Kanou to fall in love with him.
In the beginning you think; "Oh, that's adorable. He came to save him and now maybe Ayase will fall in love with him and they'll live happily ever after."
Sadly, that's not what happens.
Instead, Ayase wants to save his cousin from ...

Okane ga nai is everything that is wrong with the yaoi genre, and it was painfiul to sit through.

Plot:
Okane ga nai's biggest sin is that it's trying to portray itself as romantic, when in reality it is very sick. It is constantly trying to make the viewer think "oh isn't that sweet, they love eachother!", by having the characters in various dramatic situations where at the end they like eachother more. The truth is that this is a story about a possesive man, who become obssessed with a boy because he lent him an umbrella on a rainy day, who believes that raping is ...

I give this story a 10, the art is awesome this deserve a 10 as well,the sound and characters is a 10, the enjoyment is a 10 over all score is outstanding I guess it depends on peoples preference. Rather straight or the other way, it is a wonderful story. I love it. The story line is great, since, it\'s about a hard core Loan Shark who gets soften after rescuing the boy who once saved him and when it\'s his turn to return the favor it ends up that he develop some feelings towards the boy. I would blame him, Ayase, ...

This was the very first yaoi I ever watched, and it turned me off for ages.
The story feels unimportant and alien, the characters are merely vessels of horny-ness, the art is simply not to my taste, and the fan service isn't even particularly interesting. It is completely devoid of romance, but still insists on half-assing the porn. I generally abhor rape yaois, and this never progresses past that. A good choice for when you're sick and tripping on cough medicine, and have nothing better to do and no expectations. A bad choice for any time else.

My biggest gripe with this anime is how ugly and bizarre-looking the characters are. Indeed, there is a fine line between highly stylized and just plain ugly. This has crossed that line.

The uke looks like what would happen if Shou Tucker got his hands on Pico and a yorkshire terrier. He is oddly angular, is nearly always crumpled in a position to receive his seme's penis, his eyelids have many wrinkles in them to make him look like an old woman when he's closing them, and he's nearly always crying like a little bitch (see: yorkshire terrier). The seme should put a bow in ...

This is the story about Ayase and Kanou. Ayase as a very cute innocent boy, gets into a tough world where kindness and love are strage world. Nevertheless Ayase keeps his kindness and during the story he discovers his true feeling. Even through this anime plays in a rough world, there is a lot of humour in there as well.

I remember when Okane ga Nai was deemed as one of the most harmful anime and manga in the history of Japan. Now... it can't even compare to the psychological gore anime and manga that teenagers read and watch nowadays. Heck, the Yaoi manga these days are even more intense in their sexual display than Okane ga Nai. Not to mention that they're more stupid too with their redundant plot line and boring stock characters.

Okane ga Nai is a story about a cruel merciless man name Kanou Somuku who found love in the innocent and kind young boy name Ayase Yukiya. You would think that ...

First of all, all of the people trying to justify Kanou raping Ayase are trash. No exceptions. Rape is rape. It doesn't matter if Kanou's paying Ayase, if Kanou takes him against his will, HE'S TRASH. You can't look at this OVA through rose-coloured lenses and be like 'oh, but Kanou loves him so it's okay'. It really isn't.

Moving onto the OVA itself, the plot is non-existent. So, Kanou becomes obsessed with a college student, just because he gave him an umbrella on a rainy day. WHAT THE FUCK. And from there, it's rape, rape, ...

This story was, sorry to say....pointless. And nothing unusual..You can find that type of story in every novel nowadays...A rich, successful guy has everything but love, took a shot at it but failed, so now he's ice king..Some commoner manages to worm his/her way into his life and BANG! Rich tycoon falls for commoner, they get married and live happily ever after....It's almost like a cliche now...

There was nothing but sex, sex and sex. Ayase's cousin was a completely heartless man to be frank...

The art was awesome..Ayase was cute...though there were some cute moments as well....Though the funny thing is, that it was aired on ...

Story:
I honestly think that if the story didn't have Ayase being raped the story would've been better. When Kanou "saves" Ayase instead of treasuring him like he wanted to do in the first place he gets mad when Ayase scratches his face. Seriously? And then somehow Ayase is supposed to fall for him? Unbelievable.
Art:
The art was maybe really the only good thing about it, well at least for some characters...*cough*Ayase*cough*
Sound:
Hah, the sound? I guess I can't say that I enjoyed the opening or the ending but I didn't hate it either. The voices for Kanou and Ayase were okay.
Character:
Again, Kanou would be ...

Of the yaois, this is a harder one. If you've just started the yaoi scene...this isn't for you. An OVA as most yaois sadly are, Okane ga Nai does an excellent job covering in only a few episodes what accounts for chapters in the manga. The artwork is lovely and very classic of yaois. By this I of course mean very masculine semes, very very feminine ukes. It's actually joked about several times in the anime when people mistake Ayase for a woman. This is very fetish fuel based. Non-con,shouta. It's a true classic in terms of yaois. Very high on this fangirl's list.

There may be like one spoiler in this review its not that big because there are only 4 episodes so its alright to keep reading.

First of all I've got to agree with the people who were scared to even watch the intense 4 episodes. Each one had that horror movies effect of not knowing what would happen next. It just seemed like whenever Kanou would get mad I just thought he would take his anger out on rapping Ayase. I honestly felt so heart broken when Kanou raped him the very first time. Just because Ayase scratched his face. Its like I can get that ...

Not recommended for newbies in BL, watch a few Shounen Ai before diving into a Yaoi like this one. Which was my mistake. So my first impression of this anime was, "Rape! Rape! I don't like this! Where's the love?!" But you'll come to find that most--if not all--Yaoi and Shounen Ai have an unwilling character. This Yaoi has been given a lot of hate, and I think it's because Kanou is misunderstood.

First of all he's younger than he looks, 26. He places the 1.2 billion debt on Ayase to keep him close and protected. He's possessive, unsure how to convey his feelings (probably ...

To start off I didn't actually have a reason for watching this anime, I saw it and thought, OK it's Yaoi.. why not..

[If you haven't watched the anime, i'd suggest not reading this review it contains minor spoilers]

Here's what i thought of it, truthfully, and my takes on yaoi's may be different to everyone else's so whoever thinks god why'd she like that, it's just my preference:

Story:
Straight up after reading the Plot you think 'wow. sold for prostitution by his own cousin, with rape in it and all that, definitely not watching this one' But for me, I just thought 'fuck it i'll watch ...

I don't know where to start with this anime... this anime is just uncomfortable. I dropped it after the first 2 episodes, I couldn't watch it. Its only 4 episodes, but its just cringy and terribly bad. The characters are very one dimensional and they're all just unlikeable. I don't usually drop anime's, but this one I just couldn't even.
Its just bad.. and I really don't recommend this anime. I thought I might actually like it and that was not the case at all. Please just try to stay clear of it. It's cringy, cheesy and the characters are just flat. The music is ...

I've watched a couple of yaoi and this was something else... While I wasn't a huge fan of the art, I gave it a try anyways and got used to it. What I could not get used to was the rape theme. In all, there was probably almost a dozen rape scenes. There was no Stockholm Syndrome or real attachment, it was more like submission. It took almost all four OVA segments to come to a point where Ayase is willingly participating.

There was some character development though. Kanou becomes less aggressive, and overall more likable as the OVAs run. ...

Okane ga nai (No money) is a really good yaoi with many feelings, and with a really good story.

One of the main characters Yukiya Ayase (Uke) is a innocent university student. But his cousin is selling him on a auction, to pay his depts to a very rich man. Somuku Kanou (Seme) is buying him, and treats him very bad at the beginning.

I find it really sad when he is doing that to Ayase, I feel so sorry for him.
Because he doesn't deserve it at all!

The soundtrack in the anime was so amazing, it fits perfectly to the anime. The opening ''Romance way'' ...
