Censorship: None

Jokuana (or 'Horney Ladies in the News' as it is marketed in English) is a hentai series that focuses on a young man named Kazuya Mano and his relationships with the women he works with at a television studio. Kazuya uses his sexual powers to manipulate his female co-workers and move up in his career.

Ok, so the story is fairly lame and is pretty much Kazuya sweet talking, conning and raping his way through four of the women he works with. Looking to advance in his career he is able to manipulate the women he ... sleeps with so that things happen to eventually get him promoted. Along the way we have a lesbian love affair and some nasty sex with the old guy that runs the studio. Kazuya is the typical hentai male in that when he sleeps with a woman she almost instantly climaxes and of course is willing to do his bidding.

The animation is not bad, but its not great either. I honestly did not care for the artwork and the character models, with the exception of Mayu, were not all that appealing. The hentai content was very vanilla and really didn't start any sparks. Overall the quality was alright, but nothing worth noting. This series has been licensed outside of Japan and thus comes blissfully uncensored and has an English dub for those of you who would rather not read your hentai.

In conclusion, this is a fairly mediocre hentai title that probably would have been better if the animators had a little more imagination. Feel free to skip over it if you want to, or if you just have to see everything then this one will not rot your brains too much.

Do you like "Horny Ladies and The News"?

"They...they're okay..."

Originally started as an eroge, it was technically unavailable elsewhere, but when the OVA came out in '07, I think it really came into its own, both commercially and artistically.

The fact that plot is an allegory of life itself, slowly losing its sense and purpose overtime as it goes on to the point that it's just better to give up but at the same time it becomes absurd that you just can't help but laugh, is what really gives the show a big boost. (4/10)

The visuals and animation are quite dull, repetitive and painful to look ... at (4/10), but I think the music was okay to listen to (6/10) and also the voice acting was comical enough to appeal to my superficial sense of humor (5/10).

"Hey Halberstram.."

Yes Allen?

"Why are there tissue papers all over the place? You have a cold? a flu or something? *laughs*"

No Allen

"Is that a raincoat?"

Yes it is!

In Episode 02, the story's basically, more, badly written than before. The characters(3/10) at this point are reduced to being "Hips to be Squared", but the English title was catchy(10/10), most people probably won't expect the show to be this absurd. But they should, because this hentai is an example of what might happen if you grabbed hours of in-game content(which I've never played before but I'd like to imagine it's good) by the balls and crushed it into a 2-episode OVA. HEY PAUL! WRAAAAAAAH
