The first meeting of Lisara and Ryosuke could almost be considered romantic. Ryosuke first sees her standing in the rain outside his house. Lisara’s long red hair is plastered to her face and back, her white sleeveless blouse clinging to her subtle curves. Ryosuke offers her his umbrella and a place to dry off, stating that “all women are treasures” and should be treated as such. We then fast forward a few minutes and as he is bringing her a towel she stabs him in the chest with a magical sword, rendering him unconscious. We get a few really good shots of Lisara lounging in the bathtub, especially in the uncensored version, as she waits for him to come to. She stands over him complaining that he hasn’t woken up. He stirs when he realizes a foot, attached to the ankle attached to a bare leg of a hot girl is kicking him. He jolts upright almost on auto-pilot, declaring that he must see the obviously pure white panties she is wearing under the dress shirt she’s wearing. He face-plants right into her waist, the screen cuts to a field of red grass, and he references red threads. We put this first episode at number five for its creative use of a colored stock photo of grass and everything it implies.

We learn a lot of things in this show, demons collect the energy from our souls when we die, grim reapers are pretty hot, and devil saliva is great for healing wounds -- especially ones inflicted by magic. Ryosuke has managed to get pretty beaten up in a vain attempt to storm behind enemy lines in order to rescue his childhood friend Mina. Lisara takes him to Restall manor, her home, to be healed before they try again. Lisara, her mother, and Quele (Lisara’s cousin) are crowded around Ryosuke’s bed when his mother instructs her maids to heal him. The two rather attractive maids pull back the sheets covering a naked Ryosuke and climb on the bed. The maids’ tongues slightly elongate and they begin licking his extensive wounds. We are given several close ups and some rather wide shots that obscure the action, but from the look on Lisara’s face the maids seem to be taking care of his every need.

Ryosuke is still recovering at Lisara’s manor after a battle and has been mainly healed by the Restall maids and just requires more rest before a second attempt to rescue Mina can be made. Quele enters his room, slides off her dress, climbs on to Ryosuke’s bed and then on top of Ryosuke. She straddles him in her black lace underwear. He is stunned, he asks her why, he tries to ignore her, though she’s straddling him and putting her lips very close to his. “I want to give you to my first time,” Quele says. He protests. “I’ve always liked you,” she replies before kissing him. The scene makes us think they certainly got to second base and were well on their way to third before he loses his senses and tells her to stop. We don’t know where he gets the strength dealing with all the women in his life. We definitely have to acknowledge his self-control, the ability of a teenaged boy to push a half-naked girl off of him is remarkable. We salute this ecchi scene and Ryosuke for his amazing self-control.

The battle’s been won, and Ryosuke is beginning to recover from his ordeal that should save the world. He’s at home surrounded by girls. The girls are completely focused on his recovery and don’t want him to stress over anything, especially the fallout from their attempt to save the world. He quickly begins to get frustrated as he is told the computer is broken, they sold the TV, and his cell phone was accidently put in the washing machine. He is seconds from taking a trip outside of the house when, desperate lria (one-time rival now friend of Lisara) tells him that if he stays in, the girls will all play strip poker with him. The game goes as we would expect: all the girls end up in their underwear. We see the well-endowed Mina in a mint green set looking nervous, the ever classy Quele in black bra, panties, garter belt and stockings. Iria is lounging back against the couch holding her cards in her excessive cleavage in a pink set and then we get to Lisara in a very light purple bra and panty set looking ever-so embarrassed. The scene is a feast for the eyes, and even though our hero gets a beating for cheating, we envy his opportunity to have a full house with these lovely girls.

The best and most surprisingly alluring scene is the one with the least nudity. Episode 13 takes place midway through the series as Lisara and Ryosuke are still searching for “The One,” the person with immense power who could help her take control of the realm of Grimwald. Iria, Lisara’s rival, proposes a school swimsuit competition between her and Lisara. We absolutely know that the modest Lisara isn’t really up to the task of a swimsuit competition against Iria, a professional model. Fortunately for Lisara, she is partnered with a guy who sees swimsuit modeling as an art. We get three solid minutes of Lisara using the coffee table for a stage and preforming sexy pose after sexy pose under Ryosuke’s direction. She is fully clothed in her blouse, skirt, knee socks, and white panties, and it’s completely sexy. She even lets out a little “roar” and swats her hand like a cat paw, putting this moment over the top and firmly at number one.
