At what might be seen as a common erotic fantasy among straight (or bi) men is the idea of being a woman for a day, explore her bodily desire, but what happens when that body has contact with other men and the knowledge that the female orgasm and sexually experience is stronger and more vivid? Well Residence is here to explore that as well.
So.. It's like deep (no pun intended) ?
The series reinforces these questions "Are you a Man or a woman ?" early on and it will follow the characters as they seemingly choose their gender, based on their bodily desires. Some do it without question, others might retain some of their selves, but can be quickly drawn into their stronger desires. It's the desire that faults these men, not just the woman who have the ability to change them. She merely acts as a question mark and later a key for the men to acknowledge their transition.
It should be noted that the series has an excellent Pan's Labyrinth (2006) reference that's easy to spot, so cinephiles beware. (Wasn't expecting that).
I really enjoyed this series and the artwork is gorgeous. Here it really shows where Hentai has the upper hands when it comes to non-hentai, the fluidity of bodily movement within the sexual scenes are crucial for a series to deliver the confusion and later acceptance of one's new gender, sexual identity and body. Residence among other Hentai is where the story is the sex, more so the sex scenes represents changes within the character themselves and the changing positions that explain an awakening into the realm of gender. So yes, these scenes do contribute and here there's certainly a reason for them being the way that they are but if you just care about if it's hot, then it most certainly is that as well.
Enjoy.
