Alright then let’s jump right into this, rip that bandaid off fast. If you are reading this review there is a good chance you already know what it is you are getting into but on the off chance you don’t I will give you a quick run down. Boku no Pico is a style of hentai known as a shotacon. Shotacon is Japanese slang that basically describes an attraction to young boys. So this is a porno about a guy having sex with young boys. Now if that hasn’t got your attention/made you run for the hills then by all means read on.
Being as this is a hentai there is not much to comment on in the way of character development or story as both are thin if not nonexistent. If there is a story to be told it would be something about forbidden romance between a man and a much younger man and while I guess you could call some of it romantic there is no real substance for a story here, so I won’t call it one. What I can comment on are the art and the characters themselves, so I will start with the art. It is good and that’s about all there is to say. It was well animated with a good amount of detail put into everything. In truth I wish this level of animation existed in more anime but as with the rest of the porn industry the production values will be great, its there howl thing after all.
Now we get to the characters. Oh what a tangled web of complexity this isn’t. The only toons of note in this are the grandfather, the teacher looking guy and Pico himself. The grandfather is a sort of NPC looking dude that hangs out in his bar. He spends his days spouting half sentences and not giving a flying fornication that his cross dressing grandkid is spending LOTS of time with an older guy. Honestly he could have put a stop to this thing ten minuets in but he just sat there motionless. That’s bad grandfathering right there. Next is the older guy, his name btw was Tamotsu. He was that sort of teacher/collage looking guy I mentioned before. Again there is not really any character hear. He sees Pico naked on the beach, meets him at the bar, falls for his “boyish charm” and then a hentai is born. As for Pico, he is the biggest trap I have ever seen. The first time I saw Pico I was expecting admiral Ackbar to run out screaming. Being 100% honest with you, without the sex scenes you would never guess this kid was a boy he is that trapy.
Now before I peace out on this one I feel the need to address those handful of elephants that have quietly shuffled into the room. My reason for doing this review is simply that I was asked, I like a challenge and this was most certainly a challenge. The next thing is quite a series point I feel the need to make. I have avoided the use of the word this howl time but I must now make a point of saying that this is basically about a paedophile. It is my strong opinion that such things are just a no go. Yes this is hentai and there isn’t much you can’t get away with in hentai but this is honestly sick. It is presented innocently and beautifully but the fact is its child porn. I am not here to judge or anything but come on guys. There is a line, its thin but its there.
Any how, that was my review. I hope you got something from it and as promised,
Peace Out!
