Plot
Taro Sado is a masochist and goes to a high school with his male friend Tatsukichi Hayama.
Taro Sado falls in love for the first time with a girl, who is in fact cross-dressing Tatsukichi.
Taro wants to be cured of his masochism so that he can confess, and so goes to the Second Voluntary Club, to get help.
There he meets Mio Isurugi, a self-proclaimed god, and Arashiko Yuno, the girl who made him a masochist in the first place.
Characters
Taro Sado (砂戸 太郎, Sado Tarō?)
Voiced by: Chihiro Suzuki (drama CD), Jun Fukuyama (Anime)
Taro Sado is the hero of the story, and a true masochist. He went to the same middle school as Yūno, who is at fault for turning him into a masochist.
He is not sexually attracted to his relatives, though his mother and older sister are attracted to him and an have over protective relationship for him.
He is sometimes forced to perform cross-dressing
(in the anime he was cross dressing because he was hypnotized to by Mio, and fell in love with Tatsukichi who tries to avoid Taro by cross dressing).
Taro is known to have a ridiculous amount of "Pervert Energy" (over 30,000 units, while 5 units for average people.)
which was employed by Noa in one of her schemes. Despite the fact that he is a self-proclaimed "Super Masochist",
Taro won't hesitate to help out his friends such as rushing Mio to a hospital when she collapsed during their mock-wedding at their date,
trying to beat up the senior who attempted to sexually assault Arashiko way back despite being outmatched,
acknowledging Tatsukichi's cross-dressing and telling him that he doesn't mind.
His surname Sado is probably a pun on sadomasochism which is particularly displayed in a wide array of scenarios throughout the series.
Mio Isurugi (石動 美緒, Isurugi Mio?)
Voiced by: Chihiro Ishiguro (drama CD), Ayana Taketatsu (Anime)
Isurugi is Taro Sado's senior. She is the head of his school club and is violent to Taro due to her superiority complex. She is a self-proclaimed deity. She also has ailurophobia. There is an implication that she has feelings for Taro (as a result of his kindness towards her, plus the fact that he treats her just as he does everybody else), although she does not admit to them. A recent episode somehow suggested she is jealous when another girl makes advances towards Taro as in the case of her being more violent towards him when Noa gave him a mound of lilacs. She is an extreme tsundere, and repeatedly attacks Taro, in an (unsuccessful) attempt to cure his masochism. She seems to be unaware of the fact that she has developed an attachment towards Taro, nor the fact that she has unconsciously developed feelings towards him, and constantly denies these facts whenever Arashiko has pointed it out.
Mio doesn't get along well with Tatsukichi when his alter-ego surfaces while cross-dressing, especially from the fact that Tatsukichi belittles Mio's bust size whenever his alter-ego comes out. She does not quite realise that she has an innate sadistic personality, which may explain why she constantly resorts to violent measures to cure his masochism. She is shown to be very athletic, but has been said by Arashiko to not be very good at studies.
Arashiko Yuno (結野 嵐子, Yūno Arashiko?)
Voiced by: Yui Horie (drama CD), Saori Hayami (Anime)
Yuno is Taro Sado's classmate. She has androphobia due to an attempted sexual assault by her former boyfriend in junior high school, and will attack any males who touch her, subconsciously feeling that she has to hit them before they hit her. She is also the one who caused Taro to become a masochist but despite her androphobia she develops a crush on Taro and is also hinted to be jealous as well when another girl is involved with Taro such as the case when Mio asked Taro out on a date and when Noa gave him a mound of lilacs and that she gave off a pouting face.
She occasionally gets into situations where she briefly forgets her androphobia in her eagerness to get closer to Taro (or is accidentally touched by him), and when she actually realises what happens, she comically assaults Taro who, due to his masochism, enjoys.
Tatsukichi Hayama (葉山 辰吉, Hayama Tatsukichi?)
Voiced by: Rina Satō
Hayama is Taro Sado's classmate and close friend. He enjoys cross-dressing (which induces his female alter-ego to appear). He is troubled at the start when Taro, who does not know of Tatsukichi's hobby, becomes infatuated with his female alter ego. His alter-ego, "Tatsumi Antoinette XVI," has superiority complex while he is cross-dressing, and repeatedly argues with Isurugi (sometimes over Taro's affection) as well as repeatedly attacking verbally Mio's breast size. He was previously in a relationship with Yuno's best friend Yumi, but states that he is unsure how he now feels about her.
Yumi Mamiya (間宮 由美, Mamiya Yumi?)
Voiced by: Yuko Gibu
Mamiya is a professional of massage. She has light pink hair. She hates Taro Sado and loves Hayama, but does not know that Hayama is a cross-dresser. In certain scenes in the anime it is implied that she has lesbian tendencies when groping and fondling Arashiko and Mio.
Michiru Onigawara (鬼瓦 みちる, Onigawara Michiru?)
Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Drama CD), Rie Tanaka (Anime)
Onigawara is a school nurse and enjoys making people to perform cosplay. She is something of a sadist and has a close relationship to Mio Isurugi, to the point that Mio calls her "Michiru-nee". She is shown to enjoy taking pictures of pretty girls especially when they're wearing costumes she catered for them.
Noa Hiiragi (柊 ノア, Hiiragi Noa?)
Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi
As a character of the original novel series since Volume 5, Hiiragi is a senior of Taro, but her body looks like a girl of preadolescence. She is the president of the Invention Club at Taro's school, and is a genius with an IQ of over 200. Due to her insecurities at not being able to lead a normal life like many others, she comes up with a scheme which would turn everyone in the world into perverts (if they weren't already one). However, she is talked out of it by Taro, and is saved by him when the broken machine threatens to fall on her. She falls for Taro after that incident, and he happens to be her first love (she gave him a mound of lilacs which was, as stated by Arashiko, holds the meaning of first love in the language of flowers.) Like Mio, she dislikes people insulting her childish stature.
Wow... Sasuga Wikipedia.. maybe you can skip that part..
and for now.. let's come for the review.....
lets start with...
STORY
ok... at the first episode of the anime.. I kinda hesitate to watch the rest of the anime.. maybe the first episode is not interesting for me..but don't know how.. i keep on watching the rest of the anime... and actually i found that they don't have that interesting storyline.. yeah.. it's kinda dissapointing.. it's all about a masochist guy who want his bad habit cured. but they have something to offer in this anime.. that is funny way to overcome problem(some of them are funny to me) and a lot of personalities.. and also the thing which makes me keep on watching this anime is they often solve people problem.. i kinda like this kind of anime.. just like TWGOK.. maybe i should make some duel :D
OK the score is... 6/10
ART
Ok, lets talk about the art here.. the art is wonderfull, i did not find any flaw on the anime (so far) i have re-watched it 3 times.... and still couldn't find anything.. so it's a great improvement from 2d World..and the character also drawn beutifully by the artist...
So the score is 8.5/10
SOUND/SEIYUU
let talks about the seiyuu first....what can i say about the seiyuu... ehm..actually i have nothing to say.. it tipical anime i didn't find it anoying or interesting.. and about the sound.. the OP and ED maybe... the OP and ED is kinda good.. but not that *really good* becouse i just find that the OP and ED song is usual
So the score for the sound and seiyuu is 7/10

CHARACTER
Well we've come to the part where there is no turning back... the character..what can I say about the character?? HENTAI.. yeah that the easiest way to describe the character.. every character in this anime (not all of them) have sexual dissorder (i don't know how to say this with a better language..) like masochist, Lolicon or personality dissorder (still didn't know the best word to describe it) like androphobia and etc. Some of them i find it kinda usual but it giving a spice to the anime.. have you ever seen hella masochist vs lolicon master.. it's entertaining as hell
OVERALL
well the overall is 6+8.5+7+10 = 31.5/4 = 7.875
it's a fair anime... i'm not really recommend you to watch it.. but i think this anime has their own color in my eyes.. yeah especially that hella masochist vs lolicon master... but i think if they eliminate the torture session for the protagonist it will become a better anime.. (even though eliminating that will change the title of this anime. :D)
ok then, i think that is all.. thanks for the reading.. and don't forget to brush your teeth and drink some plutonium... coz if you dont do that the super hella hentai will come to your house...oh yeah.. the download links is underneath
