Synopsis | |
Review |
(October 96) I saw the US edition at a convention: Rei Rei is a relatively mature sex comedy about a mischievous spirit who grants several characters' sexual wishes, but not quite in the way they hoped. There are two independent parts: The evil Doctor Manami has seduced Ikuko, an innocent schoolgirl, in a lesbian affair, and then murdered her. But she has not counted on the intervention of the Goddess of Love, Kaguya. With the help of Ikuko's boyfriend, Kaguya and her servant Pipi make sure that the punishment fits the crime. Among other things this involves turning Ikuko into a girl. Before they have finished, Manami's going to wish she had never got involved... And: "Satoshi isn't getting anywhere with Mika, but not for lack of trying; It's just that he's scared of women. Enter Kaguya, the Prophetess of Passion, who can show Satoshi everything he needs to know.." Mika not surprisingly tires of being dragged around planetariums and game arcades instead of being romanced, and is about to dump him. Sexy Kaguya's intervention at first just makes matters worse. As the 18 cert indicates, this is racy stuff, but quite witty, and in all a bit above average. If you like this sort of thing, and have a NTSC player, check out the AD Vision/Soft Cell /Pink Pineapple catalogue. |
