Papa to Kiss in the Dark Review

I have recently been on the lookout for some awesome Boy's Love (Guy-on-guy) anime series. I found this neat little title and wanted to review it for whoever the hell is bothering to follow this blog. And and head's up, I will post the screen caps later. Something you'll find out about me, I never make screen caps on the first watch. I need to get into the story without any distractions. Also this series was hard-subbed so subtitles will be on some of the screen caps. Sorry I can't just magically poof them away. Now, onto the review! 'Papa to Kiss in the Dark' starts off with the main character, Mira, who is living alone with his father, Kyousuke. Mira and his father share a 'special' relationship, if you catch my drift. Now I don't normally like incest especially between father and son, but this one had a few good twists, so yeah, don't read on if you don't want spoilers. In the first OVA, Mira is entering his first year of high school. Due to his father being, 'playful' if you will, he is late. The front gate his shut, so he enters through the back. He gets lost trying to find the freshmen building and ends up and the student council room. There he meets a senior, Takayuki Utsunomiya, he is the president of the student council and the son of the famous actress, Mitsuki Utsunomiya. Takayuki meets Mira when he opened the student council room door and Mira, who was leaning on the door, fell right into Takayuki. Takayuki told him what room he was in and told him the way. Upon entering the classroom, Mira meets his childhood friend, Kazuki Hino, the two chat then Mira and Kazuki give us some Boy's Love fanservice. They get interrupted by Mira's other childhood friend, Shun Sakurai. Shun was away for awhile and is very talented in the guitar. Then at the end of the first OVA Mira goes to get a copy of his family register with Kazuki. When Mira receives the paper work, he is devastated to find out that Kyousuke isn't really his father! Which was kinda ironic, considering that he and Kazuki joked about such a event moments before. Then OVA 1 ends. OVA 2 begins with Mira all crestfallen about his discovery. He cries and it is at this moment that Kazuki decides to confess to Mira. The two make out abit, yay <3, then Mira doesn't like it because they've been childhood friends for so long. But it is totally okay for him to be with a dude that he thought was his father. -_- ;;; Anywho, Mira told Kazuki that they should stay friends for now. Then, oh my god, holy crap, Kyosuke gets into a car accident! (What a twist!) Of course Mira is all over dramatic about it and whines like a little bitch. Then Kyousuke pets Mira's head to let him know that he's still living. Mira's all happy again and they smooch. Later on, Mitsuki, who everyone believes is having a relationship with Kyousuke, shows up at Mira's door. She asked Mira if he wanted to be her son, he shot her down immediately then later ran towards the park, well, what I'm guessing was a park, he was near a small river, or stream, I dunno. :/ He whines and bitches some more. Then Kyousuke shows up. He was saying how he was all looking everywhere for Mira and so worried, and all that junk. Kyousuke tells Mira that Mitsuki is Mira's mother and how he's her sister. Though they were making it painfully obvious that Mitsuki was Mira's mother. I mean honestly, the eye color, the asking to be her son business. So yeah, in the end Mira wasn't making love to his Dad, but his Uncle! AND Mira was HAPPY that they were related! That's just abit too freaky for me. Mira also acts like a housewife for most of the OVAs. I wanted him to end up with Kazuki not that Eiri Yuki clone!! >.< And surprisingly, the voice actor for Mira is Hikaru Midorikawa, which freaked me out! He sounded so high pitched! My eyes bigged out during the credits and I took like 5 double takes! XD I'm also assuming that this has a manga series considering that it's an OVA. So I may review that if I find it. Overall, it's a pretty good Boy's Love series.


Sakura's Final Score!
3 Hearts out of 5!
