Boku no Sexual Harassment (My Sexual Harassment) is another one of those "coworkers take advantage of the underling" series. Spanning 3 OAV's, unsubtitled as far as I know. (Note: This title has been released on DVD since the writing of this review.)
As the story goes, Mochizuki is your average Joe salary man, working in a computer firm, who catches the eye of Honma, his boss. Honma is very very blunt with his advances, and though it seems Mochizuki is uncomfortable with how quickly Honma progresses their relationship, he aims to please. In short time Mochizuki becomes Honma's repeated play thing, to the point where he complies to his every command. Though Mochizuki is taken repeatedly in the series by various people (including the nasty old vice president from a partner company)..he has the odd thing that he feels discomfort with every penetration, so that every time is like his first. As such all you ever see and hear Mochizuki do is blush, whimper and moan like a girl. No, literally. He is so extremely uke, that even his clients top him, and boy does everyone move fast on the poor guy. He barely meets someone for the first time before they are taking some sort of advantage of him.
This series isn't just about the rough sex, (though they skillfully show no parts) it also has a cute little love story. It seems Mochizuki is haunted by a memory of his youth where he is saved by an older, tanned boy when he falls off a bridge and into a river. He develops a sort of trust in this person to the point where they hang out in a boat in the summer afternoon (little Mochizuki even swims around naked!). In Mochizuki's present life it seems he compares every person he meets intimately to this mysterious guy from the past. While he is being used and abused by everyone, the one person who truly cares about him ends up being another coworker named Fujita. Fujita genuinely loves him and they do share a tender kiss under the moon in one scene (but by now Mochizuki is infatuated with Honma), though he always ends up back in Honma's hands, much to Fujita's despair. In the end of the series it is hinted that Mochizuki has taken his life into his own hands, even swearing he did everything of his free will and admitted he had sex with people to climb up the corporate ladder and for once he smiles seductively at a flustered Fujita as he closes the curtains to his apartment balcony. Does Mochizuki finally get to top someone? Does he finally find love in Fujita? Or does he continue being Honma's property. That's left up to your imagination.
So is the series worth watching? Sure, if you can handle Mochizuki's annoying and very constant cries. If you hate extremely wimpy Uke's then this might not be for you. Honma seems to whisper the entire series as he constantly does so in Mochizuki's ear in almost every sex scene. As far as the sex there is consensual and nonconsensual sex (funny the way Honma basically pimps Mochizuki out). Sexual organs are not shown (they are either shadowed over slightly or covered from view by other parts of the body and angles) but the action more than makes up for it. The character design and animation is pretty good, some definite eye candy there..though their bodies are a little exaggerated. It's not every day you see a buff uke, I mean does everyone have muscles and broad chests/shoulders in this OVA or what? Other than that it's a good romp and worth checking out.
