Parade Parade

Kaori is a talented, young singer with a special secret. Her manager, Yuko, loves Kaori. I thought the love between them was very sweet. As the story progresses, their relationship is challenged in a very unusual way. I also loved the opening song that is sung by Kaori (there is also a longer version with some instrumentals at the end of each episode). I don't really watch hentai, so I can't really compare this to anything else, but I wasn't really expecting anything great in terms of plot or character development.

The tagline may be "she has the best of both worlds" but that is really not what this hentai is about. If anything aside from the sex scenes where it is used her penis has little to do with the rest of the hentai.

Parade Parade is the story of an upcoming pop idol as she tries to advance in the music industry. It examines artists who use sex to sell records and some very real scandals where artists were forced to do sexual favors if they wanted to land a record deal

Beyond its interesting plot because it concerns the music industry it has some of ... the best music in an hentai I have seen. The theme "Ai Iro Otome" roughly translates into "Indigo Girl" is quite catchy and is very reminiscent of the J-Pop of the time.

Art is dated but passable. Pink Pinapple really had some excellent staff. The director/character designer would later work on such series as Cayote Ragtime Show, Kure-nai, & Spice and Wolf.

A classic hentai that I would recommend to anyone not afraid of a little futanari and wants a hentai that is a bit more than sex,
