Sensitive Pornograph

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Sensitive Pornograph is a collection of short Boys Love manga stories by Ashika Sakura, published originally in 2003, although it is better known as the two-episode anime of the same name. The manga was published in English by 801Media.

Note: The title isn't actually for the first story but for the third one.


Tropes used in Sensitive Pornograph include:
  • Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male - averted with Mari. Ten days after his wife's accidental death, he's still badly bruised. Gouzou is worried and somewhat shocked when he hears of the domestic abuse. Also Played for Drama and heartwarming as Mari's little twin sons ask Gouzou to not hurt Papa.
  • All Men Are Perverts - Ueno thinks he's going to be pet-sitting a cute little bunny-wabbit, but instead finds a naked, bound man in a closet. Three minutes later, max, he's having sex.
  • Animal-Eared Headband - "Aki-chan" the bunny boy. Notably the ears aren't used to communicate his cuteness. They seem to only have the role of being a prop in the pet play scenario he's being forced into. They're even only seen on the chapter opening flash page.
  • Bandage Babe: Aki-chan, at the end of his section appears as as male version.
  • Bondage Is Bad - the only bit of bondage is seen when Aki-chan is found bound and gagged in a closet, left there by his abusive boyfriend.
  • Boys Love Genre
  • "It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It" - Kashima insists it was rape, though admits having enjoyed it:

Kashima: "He violated me! It was rape! It hurt so much!"
Colleague: "But you still got off."
Kashima: "But -- but -- he took pictures of me! (...) I -- can't say I didn't like it..."

  • Coitus Ensues: the story Trophies Belong In the Bedroom
  • Filming for Easy Dub: A couple of noticeable instances, such as when Ueno is on the telephone and it covers his mouth perfectly for almost a minute to have a conversation. The money was saved for the more important scenes.
  • The Loins Sleep Tonight - Takezaki suffers a slump in performance with his girlfriend (and a good slap from her) due to childhood "special" friend visiting him.
  • Love At First Punch - Mizuho's violent reactions to Meguro's offers for friendship, or compliments about cuteness don't slow Meguro down a bit from falling for him.

Mizuho, on Meguro's face: *crash* *slam* *smash* *splurt*
Meguro: Nice punch Mizuho Nishina ... I'm in love...
