Yuri Anime Review: Candy Boy

Time for a new yuri review!

Don't be fooled by the lame name. This is pure yuri/lesbian goodness! Candy Boy was originally a one episode original net animation made to promote a song of the same name but the anime's popularity led to more episodes being produced. The series itself has 7 episodes and 2 direct to DVD extra episodes for a total of 10. Due to the fact that this is a net animation the episodes run from 7-15 minutes with the final episode going for 20 minutes. The story follows the yuri fomance between fraternal twin sisters Kanade and Yukino Sakurai. Kanade is the youngest of the two but is often more mature and level headed and serious. She still more often than not fantasizes about Yukino or both of them together. Yuki is the oldest but is more free spirited, peppy and a little ditzy. She loves Kana with all her heart and soul and will do anything for her. She often tries to manipulate Kana into doing perverted things to her such as trying to get kisses from Kana, or getting her to sleep with her longer in the mornings.

As they spend there days in high school they deal with issues surrounding there more-than-sisterly feelings for one another, as well as fellow classmate Sakuya Kamiyama, who has strong romantic(and perverted) feelings for Kana as well as the feelings of there youngest sister Shizuku Sakurai. Shizuku herself is well aware of her sister's relationship and thus feels left out and alone without them.

While not the deepest anime there is Candy Boy is still a great slice-of-life yuri show any and all yuri fans should see! The characters are cute, beautiful, and funny and really have great and likable personalities. The animation of the series is also outstanding due to the short format of the series! They clearly spent a ton of money making this anime! The voice acting can not be better! All the characters are really brought to life buy there respective voice actresses! This is one fine looking, great sounding yuri series! Sadly it is not available outside of Japan. :( All yuri fans should do themselves a favor and watch this awesome yuri show!
