Papa to Kiss in the Dark

Papa to Kiss in the Dark

Introduction

High-profile actor Kyousuke Munakata is known to the public as a charming playboy, but he harbors a scandalous secret: he is in a sexual relationship with his teenage son, Mira. Mira is head-over-heels for his papa, though he is pushed to his limit by the stress of maintaining his romantic secret while also balancing his first year of high school and Kyousuke's sexual appetite. With the stress building, along with paparazzi-fueled rumors of a wedding in Kyousuke's future, Mira must decide if his illicit romance is worth the cost of mental peace. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

If one is able to not get their pants in a twist about the clearly stated dead dove tags present in this anime, it's... alright. The story is totally ridiculous, but whatever, it's entertaining for the two episodes. Any longer than that and I might've exploded. The main character is kind of annoying and irrational, which I suppose is just a side effect of the genre this follows (melodramatic nonsense as I like to call it) but this is just enhanced by the annoying voice acting. I seriously despise the seiyuu they picked for him, it's a huge misscast. It's definitely a bad choice rather than a bad voice actor, as Hikaru Midorikawa has had some much, much better performances in his career. Speaking of voice acting, the cast is actually pretty damn stacked! I was surprised to hear the one and…

Weird yaoi proportions, "X3"; "><" expressions on chibi versions of the characters that appear on randomly cute moments, incest, moe artstyle, and on top of that, fansubs with karaoke and translator's notes. (Oh, it's also basically impossible to find an HD version unless you buy the original DVD. Good luck finding it for sale somewhere!) Yep, that's a 2000s yaoi anime right there. It's cute. It's short. A good time-killer. It has basically every yaoi cliché tropes you can think of. Give it a go if you're an old fujo or if you're a newgen looking for old stuff. The MC's voice can be really annoying sometimes, but it isn't that much of a problem. 7/10!

First of all I wanna say that this anime is shit but it's also a great anime to watch. It's so bad that it's good. The relationship : It's a romance between a dad (but is in reality his biological uncle) and his teenage son. It's both incest and pedophilia. What an amazig start ! There are some h-scenes which are hard to watch, cause incest you know. And to add salt to injury, this is a love-triangle ! The last one is a classemate of Mira (the child), who in the second ep rape him, that what I call a healthy relationship between friends. It's already bad but the dialogues are just sh*t. Mira's voice will make you want to punch him and he says so much horrible stuff that makes you question his sanity. The dad/uncle is not better, raping his "child" whenever he wants. The art : It's really…

Little spoiler warning! Wtf did I just watch? It was disgusting. Mira moaned everytime he talked like stfu? Also he was sad bc it wasnt his irl dad? Wtf was wrong with him? This yaoi was pedophile like the most old yaois. Also it was a harem. I hate those characters, the way were talking was soooo cringe- I got cringed soooo mny times here- I wonder why I just watched this. They got crazy with those drama scenes. Drama in unnecessary places. I felt like watching a Bollywood film or smh. But I have to say if you like those things you can watch it- But yk I think it was disgusting. It was soooo cringe. It was a cliche yaoi. But you can watch it if you are like reallyyyy realllyyyy reallyyyy bored

Imagine men in suits sitting in a room, thinking about what project to do next. Then one of them is like "yo there’s this light novel about a guy who sexually abuses his teenage son‚ and then the room goes ‚what?! SOLD!" When I watch stuff like that I can’t help but wonder about all the steps it takes to produce such an abomination. I don’t know who asked for this, and I’m not sure what kind of people they were targeting when they did this, but y’all need Jesus. When it comes to sexuality in media etc., I’ve never considered myself to be prude - my fav. Manga has tons of incest and even pedophilia, but the difference is that it had a good story. In this waste of time, it is just seen as something that happens and everyone supports it. The outrageous elements here are only there to add in…

I was 10 when I first watched this anime. It is about how a boy likes his dad and have a TOTALLY LEGAL (cough cough, NOT) relationship. The art is great though. Like, GREAT great. But as I have mentioned before, this is about a boy that is in love with his father, even if the father might not be his biological father, he is still somebody that looked after this kid since he was idk, 3 or something (maybe even less). Which makes it a big nono for me and hopefully every other sane person. SO in conclusion, I'd give the art a solid 6/10 and the story a 1/10. If I come to the characters, they weren't too interesting or anything. Just typical anime boys that care only about the "white milk" and have close to no personality whatsoever. Just made to please the females fantasizing about these k…

I don't think there's words to describe how shit this is. I was dared to watch this as a "yaoi" thing by my brother, who didn't know what it was about. I just assumed it was some random bad basically porn yaoi, well I was wrong. First of all, its incest, and then near the end they try to make you think its not. So here I was like "Oh, so at least its not AS bad", but no. They make it so that it IS incest, and that they ARE related. No matter what, even if they weren't blood related, the plot is still about a father having SEX with his son, who views him as his biological father, which is disgusting. And then after they go with the whole "they're not actually related so its okay lol yeah totally lol just like adoptive parent and kid lol", I was a little LESS disgusted, but then they go an…

I came across this anime about a decade ago when I was like 12 and was searching for more shounen ai anime to watch on youtube. I loved it, I thought it was so cute. Obviously I didn't understand what was going on. Anime had changed my world view and anything my parents taught me was questioned while I openly accepted anything this nice, cheerful, happy anime world had to offer. I had no idea what I was doing, neither did my parents -btw this is why we need to teach kids media literacy from a very young age on and I sincerely hope things have changed today in terms of teaching kids about the dangerous influences of media and the internet in schools and families. However, I think this anime and others like it contributed to 12 y/o me's belief that there was nothing wrong with grown men lik…

I think for being a short OVA series, Papa to Kiss in the Dark does okay. The art and animation and sound is alright. Characters a little bit generic per yaoi/bl standard... Childhood best friend, handsome student council president, idols (of course they're semes). And our uke main character, has some typical uke cuteness, with insecurity and jealousy up the yin. But... I honestly wanted to see more. The story had potential to go further than where it did. I imagine that if this were a 1 or 2 season anime, the story would have been more fleshed out. The premise being focused around the taboo aspect of incest is there, but it's never fully explored. Our main character has his dad, best friend, and student council president act as love interests (lucky guy if you ask me), but their person…

Story: The story is very average, I wish they would have done more with it. I think if this was a show rather than an OVA, the story wouldn't feel so rushed. So basically the story is that the son and father are in love and have a romantic and sexual relationship. But for some reason the son also has a friend who likes him so there is that side romance that doesn't go anywhere. Art: The art is decent, it's way cuter than some other yaoi I've seen. Characters: The characters in this show are fair. We have a classic Uke X Seme relationship and the side characters are just as average. Overall, I did enjoy this anime. I think its very average but it wasn't half bad.

I really liked this anime as their relationship was soo sweet. I loved the adorably cute Mira and also the gorgeously attractive Kyosouske. If you like yaoi and want a cute romantic one, you'll like this. Give it try first before jumping to conclusions and burning it at the stake. Story: 8 This anime revolves around the relationship between Mira and his "father". The core plot summary is one of jealousy, and although this is a common love theme, this anime was able to make it unique in the way in which Mira's jealousy is portrayed as being a light and adorable concern. Furthermore, the anime moves at an enjoyable pace for a short shounen-ai anime, and there are also comical and at types serious moments to the anime which add further depth to it Art: 9 I'm not sure whether it's because I…

At one point in my life- I used to hunt around like a crazed lunatic to find anything Yaoi/Shonen Ai related- I stumbled upon Papa to Kiss in the Dark and after much hesitation I thought what have I honestly got to lose. And the answer is- sanity. So what's first- the story? Well a son and a father constantly engage in 'activities' but outside of that- things are just peachy. This until the son, Mira, finds out that actually his 'father' may not actually be related to him at all. So finally- you'd think that someone has poked back the incest issue with a stick. But instead of being glad that they aren't related- the son is horrified that they aren't and figures that his father may be cheating on him. The characters are as packaged as they come. You've got the baby-faced shota who for s…

I do like yaoi/shounen-ai, but only if they are good, and I just felt that Papa to Kiss in the Dark was a excuse for another yaoi series with little to no plot. The plot is just weird, because there's a child involved in this sexual activity like it's a normal thing. That, and they are practically father and son, in which case, I don't believe this scenario would happen. It was a letdown. From what I remember, the art and sound was fine though.

This is a very beautiful story, even if it’s a little sappy sometimes. I feel for the characters a lot and want them both to be happy but once in a while, I feel like the incest just makes me fall shy of wanting to keep watching it. At the end, I was torn between happy that it was over to wanting more. I still feel dirty for the incest part, I just can’t get over it. Some of the context just seems like they went a little too far on the story for it to be somewhat real. I wouldn’t call this a hentai since you never see the lower half of the characters but there are some scenes not for the children. I say, if you are old enough to watch hentai, then you can watch this but if not, I would be a little reluctant to say go for it. Mira normally ends up being a rather whiny little bitch at time…

By far this has been the most dumbest yaoi anime i ever seen. So the anime revolves around 15 year old being rape by his uncle/adopted father ever since he was born till his current age, and no I dont mean rape as in "get off of me, no means no" rape, i mean "thats a little kid your taking advantage of" rape, Not even 5 minutes into episode and they had sex, but its yaoi so i wasn't really surprise, but what got me turn off by this anime is that the main character is such a big crybaby, its utterly annoying,you'r a guy grow some balls, grow some big ones!! also the the senior in the anime has no type of relevance or importance in the anime whatsoever i had no idea why he was even in there to me, the anime wouldn't change a bit if he would have been taken out. Overall i strongly believe thi…

In the beggining it seems to be only a shota with a huge incest, but it become sometime much more complex than that and much more beautiful. With a lovely character feature, characters that makes you fall in love with, and a story with a lot of ups and downs (most of them you can put yourself in the situation), this anime has everything to gain your attention and love. Before you watch if, you have to stop those preconceptions you have and just watch BOTH EPISODES. The emotional weight of this anime is really huge if you watch it with your heart clean of prejudgements. I'm sure I'll watch it again, not forgetting to get the tissues to clean my eyes when the tears come. ^^

Even though I love yaoi, I didn't put this OVA on my list when I read the summary... This is because it says to be incest. But, because my sister already saw it and said it wasn't to bad, I tried watching it too. In the beginning I still had the feeling of 'Ewl! This goes way too far!' However, I just tried not to think about the man and teenager being related and in the end it seemed quite logical to do so, because it really isn't that much incest in the end. I won't go into details about this, but if the incest is the only reason for you not to watch this, just try it and watch it till the end, and not till you finish the first episode. I loved the OVA. It was cute and had a beautiful story. I also love this way of manga/anime art and I recommend it to everyone who loves yaoi.

Alright people... this is a simple case of "know what you're getting into". If the subject matter bothers you, then for sanity's sake DON"T WATCH IT. Going in I knew the story: Mira is in love with his father, Kyosuke, and things go wrong during the course of the story and at the end there's a happy Shonen-ai ending. There was no malicious intent in the story, although yes Kyosuke starts many of the... uh, you know. I rate it low simply because it's predictable and unrealistic. The realationship between Kyosuke and Mira switches from parent and child to lovers so fast at times it will give the veiwer wip-lash and the side relationships with his best friend and his upperclasmen seem to take up space more than anything... not to mention the story takes place in an unreasonably short amount…

It was a good story I felt. I mean it wasn't the best in the world but it was a good story. The whole thing revolves around a young boy who was basically being sexually abused by his uncle (who he believed was his father) starting at a very young age. As he gets older he is madly in love with his unlce-father and gets ridiculously jealous of a presumed other woman in his uncle-father's life. He is also insecure about his role and position in the household, ie is he just a toy for his uncle-father's use. You go through various incidences of his misunderstandings. The main failure of the story and this is because it's short is the fact the story has no follow through nor continuity. The story has a lot to offer and in the beginning it started off interestingly enough with a taboo moment b…

Mira Munakata is a freshman who, is in love with Kyousuke Munakata, a handsome actor and his father; and the two of them are involved in a romantic and sexual relationship. Even if you disapprove of incest or find that you just do not really see that as something you could handle, I highly suggest watching this anime. It has an interesting twist at the end. Not to mention it is a timid yaoi. Very cute, and very enjoyable. It is actually a good one for people to test the waters and see if they would like yaoi series.
