▲A relatively old softcore [[Hentai]] [[OVA]] released back in 1994 in Japan. It was one of [[Central Park Media]]'s releases under the "Anime 18" label in 2001. A highly notable example of [[Porn With Plot]] with the "plot" half actually being decent, but it's also subjected to [[Hype Backlash|backlash]] from traditional and hentai fans for this reason.
The plot revolves around a pair of lovers resulting from a [[Childhood Friend Romance]] [[Gone Horribly Wrong]] named Diana and Sho; the former is a princess of the kingdom of Doria, while the latter is the rightful heir to the throne of the aforementioned kingdom, but lost that right when Diana's father, Randis, overthrew Sho's father, Baasen. The story opens during their childhood, when Sho proposes a bizarre [[Childhood Marriage Promise]] in that he hopes Diana would be his [[Sex Slave]] (as law in Doria allows women to be sold off as slaves for money) one day, much to her dismay. They are then attacked by several soldiers; one of them gives Sho [[Scars Are Forever|a nasty facial scar]], and he is ultimately pushed off a waterfall and presumed dead.
Line 8:
Currently, it remains forgotten on the fence after Central Park Media's collapse. In addition to its backlash, it's known among a small, small circle for its [[Your Mileage May Vary|borderline]] god-awful English dub. Interestingly, hero Sho is voiced by [[Crispin Freeman]] (who went under a pseudonym, naturally) in his only hentai role.

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ace]]: Sho
* [[Action Girl]]: Takes her a while to get there, but Diana is actually a capable swordswoman, and actively helps Sho from the third episode on.
* [[A
* [[Anime Anatomy]]: Played straight, with the exception of [[Nipple And Dimed|female nipples]]. When video cassettes and DVDs of the show were first released stateside, Diana's nipples on the cover were erased.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Diana and Dunan. It doesn't last long.
* [[Attempted Rape]]: Good thing that Sho knows how to show up just in time, eh Diana? Sadly, the guy she's being forced to marry (Dunan) actually succeeds.
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: A major complaint from most reviewers is on the English dub, which is very wooden and forced. The voice actor for Sho (Crispin Freeman) has been pointed out to be the least offensive among them. Naturally, one can assume that the actors didn't really ''want'' to participate in a pornographic title...
* [[Bratty Half
* [[The Casanova]]: Sho.
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: Diana and Sho.
* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]: More like a proposal into sexual slavery. {{spoiler|They finally do get married in the fourth episode, but the slave-master relationship between Diana and Sho remains.}}
* [[Crispin Freeman]]: Plays Sho, under the name Mark Percy.
* [[Dark
* [[
* [[Dude Magnet]]: Diana, who becomes subjugated to a multitude of kidnapping attempts and rapes.
* [[Hentai]]: Softcore, as in, there's plenty of nudity and action to go around, but there's no explicit depiction of genitalia, which makes this title stand out.▼
▲* [[Everybody Has Lots Of Sex]]
* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]: There's something strangely warming about most of the scenes where Diana and Sho have sex. Diana is highly attractive, while Sho is a suave, handsome [[The Casanova|casanova]] who's also [[Covert Pervert|slightly perverted]] and experienced. They've been smitten with one another since childhood.
▲* [[Hentai]]: Softcore, as in, there's plenty of nudity and action to go around, but there's no explicit depiction of genitalia, which makes this title stand out.
* [[The Kingdom]]: Well [[Averted Trope|averted]], as the two kingdoms in focus (Doria and Guptia) have questionable morals. Doria allows women to be traded for sex and are treated as objects, while Guptia is a military-striving nation.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: All of the female characters.
* [[OVA]]: Five episodes, all of them around 45 minutes in length (which was the standard episode length at the time of its release in Japan).
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Diana.
* [[Porn
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Sho has one on his face, and he covers it with a partial face mask. {{spoiler|After he and Diana defeat Dunan}}, he gets rid of the mask for good, hence he seemingly overcomes this trope.
* [[Sex Slave]]: A driving force of the story. {{spoiler|In the end, Diana is monikered as ''queen'' of Doria's sex slaves, and she ''actually encourages women to take on slavery over freedom''.}}
* [[Smug Snake]]: Dunan.
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Diana and Dunan have red eyes. It's easy to tell who's less morally questionable: Diana's eyes are a brighter shade, whereas Dunan's are a dark crimson.
* [[Wandering
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Dunan.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Diana and several other characters.
