Koisuru Boukun is an OVA adaption of a manga by the same name, but perhaps better known in English as 'The Tyrant Falls in Love'.

Story

I enjoyed the story (what there was of it), and felt that it was 'fresh'. Afterall, how many homophoic people do you see as the main love interest in an anime featuring Yaoi?
It had a fairly open ending, but didn't really leave you hanging.

Animation

It was was alright. There wasn't really anything 'amazing' that jumped out at me, but nothing was blatently bad, either.

Sound

At times, there were scenes that had no background music, and I felt that the voice acting fell a little flat because of that. Otherwise, it was alright, a little cheesy, but alright.

Characters

Didn't have a lot of depth, and there wasn't a lot of backstory. Not that I expected there to be much in 2 episodes.

Overall

I thought this OVA was 'alright'. It wasn't bad, it had an open ending but tied up the loose ends in a neat little bundle.

From the perspective of someone who watched this, then read the manga, I'll say that the manga is a lot better, and this OVA is a good companion piece to it.

Those that haven't read it, though, may feel that it is a bit rushed. (show less)

Okay, okay, before I being I love all romances and am a avid yaoi and yuri fan. However, I could never and will never condone rape. The romance starts that way, and yet, amazingly, the poor sap that got raped falls for his rapist? Come on!! That never happens, and I would loathe my rapist with all of my passion and more. The guy was crying and begging for the other to stop, and yet they try to make it look like the next morning it was supposed to be funny. They make the rape victim look like the aggressor when he attacks his rapist with a wine bottle. I hate this anime with a passion, and the sick bastards that like it and the woman who wrote it should have to listen to rape victim after rape victim tell their story and ask how they felt about it, and then talk to their rapists behind bars. Almost all rapists never feel sorry for what they did and admit they would do it again, and rape victims' lives are ruined after that. Many rape victims end up committing suicide. How is that and him begging for the rapist to stop cute? (show less)
