SynopsisShin's spirits were soaring after winning the lottery and landing a contract with a famous firm in the same day—not bad for a normally luckless office worker. He quickly plummets back down to earth, however, upon discovering that he's been saddled with an immense amount of debt. There is, however, one way he can keep his creditors at bay: become “friends” with an enigmatic and alluring girl named Kanoko. The task sounds simple enough at first, but leaves him eating his own words as Kanoko's selfish demands start to take their toll on him both mentally and physically. Will Shin ever be able to pay his debt off, or will the lust, luxury, and mystery simply overwhelm him??

This is my first ever review
I don't consider this kind of manga as an H manga, rather I put them on the smut category.
Velvet kiss is an H-manga that focuses more on the story ( that's why I consider this as smut), like Virgin na Kankei, though this one is more of the dark theme and kinda gives off a mystery theme too.
Story - 9
This story is about your everyday salaryman who got tricked(?) to an enormous debt and got another way to pay it, by befriending with a certain cute, beautiful, pretty, moe (sorry she is just too beautiful) expressionless girl.
The story goes on on how Nitta (the main character) is being played around/ordered like a slave on the first volume while giving very little information on what really is happening and leaves a lot more questions for the readers (like why is she so expresionless, what happened between her and her stepmother, what does her stepmother really wants blah blah), especially at volume 3.
Im at the latest translated chapter, which is chapter 17, and I've read the raws (though I can't understand Kanji) of the 3rd volume, and I can quite say that the story really got me, especially the cliffhanger of the 3rd volume (I won't say what it is though)
Art - 10
Its Harumi Chihiro, just that makes this a 10. And I don't care about genitals on this manga because I only consider this as smut, not as H manga
Character - 9
I LOVE KUDERE!
Kanoko is a kudere and quite the sadist (cool - dere, mostly expresionless girls, or those that really don't smile and gives off a "cool" aura), though while the story is progressing, she is showing more expressions, but that 3rd volume, seriously :|
Nitta, well, your normal salary man, he is an upright person and has been doing a good job at his work, until that loan hit him
Yoriko, the stepmother of Kanoko, this milf is behind all of this, or so it seems
There has been only a little information given atm, but character development and interactions are great, especially for Kanoko and the people connected around Nitta
Enjoyment - 8
The plot is great, the art is awesome, the characters are so great (Kanoko read more

Not your ordinary H manga, I must say.
Story - 7
Velvet Kiss starts off with the life of a normal "sarariman" (salaryman, jap term for businessmen) who one day finds himself with a huge debt, he was given an option to repay this by keeping a certain woman named Kanoko company. The whole story starts just like any other H mange, however the plot thickens and deepens the further the story goes, which along with the beautiful H content, will keep you wanting for more. For an H manga, it has an interesting story although keep in mind that this is a Hentai manga, therefore one could not expect much.
Art - 10
Harumi Chihiro's art has always been awesome, and it even gets better on Velvet Kiss. The character designs are gorgeous and the H scenes have some sort of elegance and simple beauty. The nether parts aren't illustrated though, which may disappoint others, however this does not mean you can't give it a 10.
Character - 8
Kanoko - the main heroine in the story. At first, she is introduced as a rich woman who's just obsessed with sex, as you progress further, you will notice that her strange personality even gets stranger, as tidbits of information about her are dropped here and there.
Shin - your ordinary businessmen who got involved in some deep shit. He's gentle, although he hates being toyed by Kanoko, most of the time he just keeps his mouth shut and vents his anger via... ummm.. making love with Kano.
Enjoyment - 9
It satisfies my desire for H, it has a decent plot, nice character designs and outstanding art. It deserves a 9. However I can't give it a 10, due to some parts being bland and the lack of other woman Shin screws with, IT'S AN H MANGA AFTERALL :D:D:D. As far as I've read, Shin has only done 2 women afaik, the one of the first chapter, and Kano.
Overall - 8
Provides vanilla H content that is more than satisfying, plot that won't bore you, beautiful art. What is not to like? read more

Mature titles that places rather negative associations with lust. Feelings of jealousy, despair, guilty, and insignificance are prevalently depicted through the characters.
both stories give off similar vibe, but only thing i would say is that Blush-dc is a bit more dark than Velvet kiss

Although possessing quite different aesthetics, the premise of both series involve the establishment of a contract for the male protagonist to sexually "entertain" the female protagonist. It is intercourse in Velvet Kiss, and it is (initially) voyeurism/exhibitionism in Nozoki Ana.
Both, while being borderline Hentai titles, have an actual well-written story behind them rather than a flimsy pretense prose for the sex scenes. Both are also about a male lead character who finds himself controlled through blackmail by the female protagonist, but their relationship, while adversarial at first, grows and changes as the story goes on. I also think both have above average art for this type of genre.
