Serious Erotic Drama (Past)

what "erocoms” are. They’re sunny and clean, the sound FX are charming and uniąue, and most important, all the women in erocoms approach the main character without any effort madę on his pan and oflfer fellatio.

Furthermore, the most significant diflference between “Erotic Drama" and "erocom" is the drawing style. Compare and see. In erocoms, it's so safe, even the impotent can get a laugh out of this kind of prettified sex. In any case, this is the “light” sensibility of the convenience-$tore generation who grew up in an advanced consumerist society. It makes me regret the fact that I wasn’t bom twenty years later.
