【Koibito Ijou Yuujin Miman】 An Adult Yet Innocent Tale of Love Rediscovered

Hello, today I'd like to introduce a unique love story. It's a somewhat different romantic comedy called “Koibito Ijou Yuujin Miman”

The protagonist of the story is Miyako Kimura, a former adult film actress. After leaving the industry, she returns to her hometown to lead a relaxed life. Out of the blue, her mother sets up a marriage meeting for her. The prospective suitor is none other than her former coworker and adult film actor, Masaki Hanamaru. It's no wonder she's taken aback. However, he has since transformed into a serious man and is now running a flower shop, his dream.

Miyako contemplates calling off the meeting, but an idea strikes her. If they pretend to be in a relationship, their parents would stop pressuring them into arranged marriages and their secret would remain safe. Masaki agrees to Miyako's idea, leading to the start of a new relationship between them. This relationship is a bit odd - their bodies are “more than lovers,” but their hearts are “less than friends.”

What sets this story apart is its purity. Despite their history in the adult film industry, they display a level of innocence in their love akin to that of middle schoolers. Miyako, the protagonist, is especially portrayed as a cute and sincere girl. Influenced by someone she admires, she gets her ears pierced and dyes her hair to avoid being mistaken for a child at night. Her innocence is depicted throughout.

As the story progresses, another key theme surfaces - “dreams.” Once upon a time, Miyako moved to Tokyo to become an actress, but things didn't work out. She stepped into the adult film industry and eventually quit, returning to her hometown. However, seeing Masaki, whom she has reunited with, fulfilling his dream sparks something within her. Will she discover a new “dream,” or will she start chasing her old dream of becoming an actress again? The shift in her emotions is something to watch out for.

“Koibito Ijou Yuujin Miman,” at first glance, is about two people with a hard past. However, their rekindled love is pure and genuine. The art style is charming, with no vulgarity, making it a story that you can't help but root for.

Two people who know each other's secrets inside and out return to their true selves and fall in love again - it's an adult yet pure romantic comedy. Even though their physical relationship has been consummated, their hearts remain pure. The unique dynamic between the two characters is captivating, and the anticipation for what comes next is palpable.
