Aibeya The Animation is an OVA by Pink Pineapple. It's a fairly standard vanilla hentai, but I still found it quite enjoyable. Lets start with the story. To be honest, there isn't a whole lot to it. Basically, a guy is staying at his childhood friend's house because his own home is being renovated. While they're living together, they both start to develop feelings for each other. Most of this happens at the beginning, so the rest of the OVA is mainly just them being lovey-dovey with one another. It's pretty cute. The art and animation in this OVA was surprisinglydecent. I've seen a lot of vanilla hentai that skip out on using more art assets, and rely on limited animation. So needless to say I was worried. Thankfully, both the art and animation turned out to be satisfactory. The voice actors also do a decent job. There're two main characters in this hentai, Eita and Asuka. Eita is the main male lead, and Asuka is the main female lead. They both have pretty stale personalities. Asuka is somewhat perverted (though only slightly more than Eita), but apart from that, they don't have a lot going for them. They're cute and likeable though, which I guess is all that matters for this story. There's also Asuka's mom, who provides some brief comic relief. I personally found her to be mildly amusing. Overall, Aibeya is a very simple OVA. It's just plain vanilla, but it still has enough effort put into it to spice things up and keep it from becoming boring. 6.5/10 Would I reccomend you watch this OVA? Yes! Yes I would. It's a very feel-good type anime. So despite its simplicity, you should still come away from it with something.

Sometimes fate brings us together, and sometimes it is just our friends and family giving us that extra push. Story: Two neighbor's, Kouta and Aki, will be living together after Kouta's family decided to renovate their entire house and agreeing with Aki's parents that he will live with them for the time being. Being childhood friends, it is a bit difficult at first to handle being together in the same house, but as time passes, as well as Aki's mom and Kouta and Aki's best friends respectively hinting at them that they should be together, they finally become a couple and engage in many enjoyable actstogether. While a bit questionable, the story does present itself in a very realistic way and is quite nice. It is the usual situation when something changes between two friend's lives that causes the people around them to start giving the hints of "making the move" and finally becoming something more than just friends. While the pacing of the story does make them a couple rather quickly and make the rest of the episode just different sexual acts they perform, it was still nice. Then again, vanilla hentai often have the simplest plot with no major conflicts to arise from at times. And low key, the mother and friends played a nice part in trying to inch those two to finally take a step together. 3/5 Music: Sadly, the music isn't all that well. Certain sound effects I have heard in other hentai, especially during the sexual acts, and the music that was different didn't stand out all that much. Not that it didn't add to scene properly at times, but it seemed a bit copy paste in terms of music played. 1.2/5 Animation: The environments were quite simple sticking to indoors mainly with very few scenes involving the outdoors and the few that did involve the outdoors, such as the bowling date, did seem a bit iffy, but they turned out good. The scenes and the characters were drawn quite nicely, especially during the cosplay and blowjob scenes, and hardly had much repetition with all the changing sex positions, which was a nice change. Also a nice change is not having the main heroine's chest be so large, C cups at most, so that was a nice sight. All in all, the animation was a bit off for environments, but pulled it off nicely for the characters and scenes. 3.8/5 True to genre: When you see the vanilla tag, you often expect a romance story, and that was delivered. The other tags also played in nicely to the story with a hint of other sexual tags to add, but the primary ones were followed nicely and drawn well. 5/5 Eroticism: While I admit that the sexual scenes were very erotic and did arouse me a bit, vanilla hentai isn't one I often watch for arousal, but instead for the story itself. People often watch vanilla to envision being in a relationship, which I admit I do so when watching vanilla also, but for me, it puts me off to the idea of pleasuring myself while watching something that seems quite sweet to me. Not to say that it didn't spark any arousal in me, but vanilla hentai is one I will always purely enjoy for the story, even though this one was the closest I ever came to enjoying myself while watching it. 3.6/5 Concluding my review: A vanilla hentai is a sweet one, and this one is no exception. While it lacks some creative music and can be a bit off in the animation for its locations, the sweetness and eroticism is nicely expressed through its animation. But it's also nice reminder how sometimes our family and friends can be good wing-mans to help start something that may be one of our biggest achievements.
