Summer is here as FUCK, my dudes, and you know what? I’m ambivalent. Japanese summer is still a whole different beast than what I’m used to. The rainy bit sucks. The humidity sucks. And the air conditioning situation? Well, it blows, but not cheaply enough for it to be a practical solution. But there are nice parts to Japanese summer, too – the festivals, the trips to the countryside, smashing watermelons at the beach (it’s real!)… So to remind myself why summer is worth enduring, I’ve decided to give you all a hentai-tastic overview of some of the season’s sexiest sights, sounds, and…. flavors, I suppose. Slather on the sunscreen, because it’s about to get HOT!
Let’s start with a summer tradition beloved the world over: going to the beach. But not just any beach! Oh no, this is a nudist beach, where groping and even outright sex are the norm. At least it WILL be once you’ve had your way with it.
You play as the owner of a beachside shop who’s looking to liven the place up. “Needs more tits” applies to everything, but ESPECIALLY the beach, right? Hand out “Horny Juice”, pay slutty friends to put on a show, and even work out to increase your own pulling power – whatever it takes to get the beach blanket bingo bouncin’ (iconic 60s teen soundtrack sold separately).
Next comes another beloved, worldwide staple: summer vacation. We Americans get three whole months, but even the month-ish given to Japanese students holds a special place in their hearts. It’s a time for travel. A time for exploring nature. A time to… lose your virginity to a stranger you met at the library, I guess. And give your clicking finger a real workout along the way.
That’s right, this is a rare hentai-themed “clicker” type game! You play as an immense dorkus who’s spending his summer vacation in the public library, when suddenly a big-titty blonde shows up and starts hitting on him. He’s supposed to be working on a book report, but she’s got A LOT more to teach him. Click like mad to unlock your way to even more exciting sex options, but watch that ejaculation meter, or your stimulating summer break will cool off FAST. Incidentally, this plot totally sounds like a lie your annoying friend would tell you in September when school starts up again.
It’s a bit difficult to truly get the vibe of a Japanese summer in the countryside without actually visiting, though. So that’s where this game comes in! I know “open world 3D Unity game” doesn’t exactly promote confidence, but trust me, you’ll enjoy yourself. Look at those character models! And the seasonal vibes? Immaculate.
It’s been ten years since you last saw Misaki, and gosh, she got cute. And hey, it’s not like there’s much to do in the sticks besides soak in the vibes and bone. Wander around with your childhood friend, exploring the rather charming little town and stopping every once in a while for some story/porn. Everyone should experience this kind of scenery at least once in their life – and if you get to fuck a schoolgirl along the way, so be it!
I expect you’re pretty tired after all that resource management, mouse clicking, and exploration. Why not kick back with a nice 3DCG anime? The “simpler times” narrative people tend to push when it comes to summer memories may not be all it’s cracked up to be IRL, but in fiction? Why, it makes for a perfect showcase for how dirty those dog days can be!
One classic staple of a typical idealized Japanese summer is “taking shelter from the rain with your crush”, and it makes one hell of an appearance here. June tends to be a soaking wet mess in Japan, so I’m sure you can see how that would be appropriate for some seasonal hentai, too. Hot girl + white outfit + sudden downpour = truly steamy times! Really, that’s the only math a healthy young man should need to worry about over the break. If you’re feeling naughty and nostalgic, why not take a trip down this morally-dubious memory lane?
At last, we come to the pinnacle of summer-themed doujin hentai. Summer ~Life in the Countryside~, along with its DLC, features just about every well-worn and well-loved Japanese summer trope imaginable. Cuz-nuzzling? Check. Festival fun? Check. Exploring in the great outdoors? Double check. It’s the ultimate ecchi experience for anyone looking to work up a seasonal sweat without leaving their LED gamer chair.
Beautifully rendered pixel art, animation, and backgrounds! Loads and loads of ways to shoot a load! Exceedingly stress-free gameplay! Yep, with this one, you’ve got it made from June to August, and beyond. Personally, I quite enjoyed the camping segment. There’s something very alluring about being surrounded by the beauty of nature… and only being able to focus on the nasty-ass blowjob you’re getting. But there’s something here for everyone, and you know what? Fuck it. If you don’t play this, I WILL lose all respect for you. It’s just that perfect.
My usual go-to for cooling off during the hottest time of the year is a nice, cold bottle of tea, or maybe a concept album about the cold Norwegian winter. But that hentai habit needs satiating too, and by the blazing sun-disc of Amon-Ra, I think these five works will do the trick! I hope you’ve learned why people put up with the heat here in Japan, too – there’s a lot of fun to be had in the summer, you’ll just be sweaty doing it. So I guess in that way, Japanese summer is like sex. And that’s something we can all appreciate.
