Natural ~Mi mo Kokoro mo~ (it can be translated as "Natural: Both My Body and Soul" in English) is a H-game about a teacher on a forbidden relationship with his ex-girlfriend's little sister, that is also his student.

The protagonist is a substitute art teacher on a all-girls school for the elite on Japan. He is on his last thirty days on the job and has no problem in doing his job right, despite the rebellious attitude of Hotori Kawada, one of the art club's members, and the odd presence of Yuwa Izumi, a student with the mannerism of a cat who asks him odd questions. He also keeps a good relationship with his fellow teachers, like PE teacher Takayuki Akagi and female teacher Itsuki Tagami.

His problems come from another direction: his ex-girlfriend's sister and swim club's member, Chitose Misawa. Years ago, he first met her when she was just a kid. Now grown up, Chitose reveals a sexual crush for her previous brother-in-law, something the protagonist accepts.

With her parents and sister mostly away from home, Chitose spends most of her time in the protagonist's house, with them keeping a sexual relationship. But is this the real way it should go, should he really romance her? And what if their affair is discovered, what will happen?

At his heart, Natural ~Mi mo Kokoro mo~ is a Simulation Game: the protagonist must choose how to spend his time to walk through the game's multiple storylines and finally endings, based on the parameters affected by that time management and dialogue options.

Developed by Fairytale. Published by F&C Co., Ltd. It was adapted into a OVA series of same name in 1999 and 2000.

  • Hair Decorations: Yuwa has a giant red ribbon tying her head.
  • Hero Antagonist: Itsuki becomes aware of the protagonist's affair and wants to reveal it but she also possibly want to end things without an incident that would hurt Chitose's feelings. The protagonist of course can use Itsuki's feelings towards him to convince or manipulate her into letting her walk free.

  • Hot Teacher: Itsuki is a pretty curvy female teacher.
  • Making Love in All the Wrong Places: The protagonist can choose to have sex with Chitose inside the school. This is deconstructed as Itsuki learned of their affair and rumors spread about it because of that; never doing that averts those rumors of ever happenning.
  • Naughty Under the Table: One of the scenes with Itsuki involves her giving the hero oral sex while he is talking with another teacher.
  • Reality Ensues: Having sex inside the school leads to people discovering what is happening between the protagonist and Chitose.
  • Sex Slave: One of Itsuki's paths involve turning her into one of those. The protagonist succeeds in the "Bell Chime" ending..
  • Tomboy: Kawada has a very tough, masculine attitude, and her hair is styled to look short. Styled, because you can see in certain CGs it is actually long, but in her default sprites most of it is hidden.
  • Two-Person Pool Party: One of the scenes with Itsuki involves she and the hero having sex on the swimming pool of the school.
  • Video Game Cruelty Potential: Some of the dialogue options are incredibly mean and serve to demean Chitose and other girls. Obviously, choosing them lowers their trust into you.
