Tsuma Shibori Episode 1

"Tsuma Shibori Part 1: Strange Living Situation" is a wild ride that starts with Kosuke, a college student on the brink of graduation, getting kicked out by his roommate. Just when he thinks life can't get any worse, a mysterious woman named Aoi Sakura shows up, claiming to be a goddess or maybe an angel, and offers him a place to stay. But this isn’t just any home—it’s a house with a twist. Aoi introduces him to her sister, Madoka, and drops the bombshell: Kosuke is there to marry Madoka, arranged by their fathers. What follows is a bizarre mix of awkward family dynamics, steamy encounters, and a lot of confusion.

The positives? The animation is smooth, and the scenes are, well, *intense*. Aoi takes it upon herself to "teach" Kosuke how to please a woman, and let’s just say, she’s a very hands-on instructor. The chemistry between Kosuke and Aoi is electric, and the tension with Madoka adds a layer of drama that keeps things interesting. However, the story gets a bit messy with its moral gray areas. Aoi’s reasoning for seducing Kosuke—to "prepare" him for Madoka—feels like a stretch, and Madoka’s anger and confusion are totally justified. The whole setup is weirdly manipulative, and while it’s hot, it’s also kind of unsettling. If you’re into taboo themes and don’t mind a plot that’s a little out there, this one’s worth a watch. Just don’t think too hard about the logic—or lack thereof.
