In this third episode of Natural Obsessions, Showa Nara meets the neighbor/landlord of the two sisters he is staying with. Kumiko has recently lost her husband, and sees a resemblance in Showa. The two become friends and immediately begin an affair.

Natural Obsessions 2 vol. 3 doesn’t progress the story of the first two episodes but it adds a new character, and we get to know Showa a bit better. Sex wise, we witness Kumiko pleasuring herself with vegetables, public car sex (with great use of the sunroof) and shibari. All of it is consensual and done with great technical skill.

Overall, the art and animation is some of the best out there, but the plot could use a little humor and tightening up. The English subtitles aren’t written as well as the spoken English, which has some nice dialog; so only listen to the Japanese language version after your first run through. If you want a soap-opera-style hentai with beautiful character design and directing, give Natural Obsessions a spin.

Retailing: A beautiful, drama heavy hentai.
