Shoujo Sect (少女セクト)

April 18, 2008 – 12:08 am

As I’m waiting for the new episode of Macross Frontier, I thought I might write up another timely topic.

Shoujo Sect, a yuri manga featuring page after page of highly explicit smex with various and varied female characters in highschool, will be adapted to a three-part OVA. The first part is scheduled to be released on 7/25.

*spoilers below for plot* (hey, it wasn’t a total PWP!)

I usually hate LFB prOn yuri - actually make that LFB everything - but I have a soft spot for Shoujo Sect. I love the art, the characters are strong-willed and hence interesting, and most of all I love how the main characters get together and we see that they live happily ever after. To be honest, if not for that last chapter, this would be but a pretty but forgettable foray into +18 manga territory, but goddammit, Shinobu and Momoko are too cute. Maybe I’m just a romantic sucker to think that 12-year long crushes deserve a happy ending…

*end spoilers*

Actually I’m not that interested in seeing the OVA. The manga was good not because of all the highly! explicit! yuri! smex! but because Kurogane Ken is a very good manga artist who can draw a sentimental story in really good panel layout. He can also draw highly! explicit! yuri! smex! scenes in really good panel layout, too, but that’s really not the point. No. Really.

A brief Google revealed a few video’s on YouTube, which have convinced me of the sheer godliness of Japanese otaku. AMV’s were an American anime phenomenon in the 90’s, but some Japanese have elevated this to another art form in and of itself.

So it is with much pleasure that I present, Shoujo Sect MADs.
