Girl Next Door (Japanese: となりのお姉さん, Hepburn: Tonari no Onee-san) is a Japanese erotic original video animation (OVA) released by Digital Works, based on an eroge video game by Nikukyuu. The story follows Masahiko, a young man haunted by the memory of a woman who once helped him as a child, vowing to remain a virgin until he finds her.

Synopsis

The plot centers on Masahiko, who unexpectedly meets Shu Fong Lee, a temporary student from America studying under his karate-master father. Kyoko Saeki, a family friend, becomes jealous as Fong Lee takes over household duties. However, their relationship evolves as Masahiko saves Fong Lee from danger, and they become friends. Masahiko takes up karate, believing Fong Lee is the girl from his memory, but she eventually returns to America. In the second episode, Masahiko's popularity leads to romantic encounters, and the story concludes with a surprising revelation.

English Version

An English dubbed version of the OVA is available on DVD, featuring adult film stars like Ron Jeremy. It is accessible on Region 1 DVD.

Eroge

The game adaptation closely mirrors the anime's plot and offers a choice of a single heroine.

Reception

Reviewers had mixed opinions on the series, praising its potential but critiquing its execution. Some appreciated the humor and character designs, recommending it for couples. Others found the character designs stereotypical and enjoyed the comedic elements. The show's softcore nature made it suitable for group viewing.

 ==Synopsis==
-In the first episode, a young woman called Shu Fong Lee, coincidentally turns up at his house. She is there because Masahiko's father is a karate master and she is to be his temporary student from America. She also knew and played with Masahiko when he was little. Kyoko Saeki (a family friend of Masahiko who lives next door and helps around his household since his mother has died) is jealous of Fong Lee after she takes over in doing the household duties and spends a lot of time with Masahiko and his father. After hearing that Masahiko is not interested in karate, Fong Lee has a negative view of him, believing him to be weak. However after saving her life from a gang of rapists, her opinion of Masahiko improves and they become good friends. Masahiko even takes up karate believing that she is the girl in his memories. However, she suddenly leaves to go back to America, with Masahiko just catching her at the airport before she boards the plane. She reasons that as she wants to compete with Masahiko some day, they can't train together in the same dojo. She also reveals that she wasn't the one in his memory, but admits to having some feelings for Masahiko.

-In the second episode, the final exams in school are over and Masahiko is becoming very popular at school after his heroics saving Fong Lee. This causes a schoolgirl called Aoi Tsutsuse to fall in love with Masahiko and forces herself on to Masahiko, having oral sex in a public cinema. However she is rejected by Masahiko afterwards. Masahiko is met with his teacher, Mrs Hanako. She wants and gets a sperm sample from him, as he gets the highest results in the final exams and she wants to collect the sperm of people with excellent genes for reasons undisclosed. Aoi tries again to seduce Masahiko, but after accepting his second rejection, she masturbates in front of him as this was the only way for her to relieve herself of this love. Masahiko, seeing this, could not stop himself from having oral sex with her, but it does not go any further. Meanwhile, Masahiko's father has a new girlfriend, who turns out to be Miss Hanako. He stumbles on to them having bondage sex together in the dojo. The winter holidays arrive, with Masahiko, his best friend Yuya, Kyoko and her little sister Asuka (who is in love with Masahiko) all going on a skiing holiday. Asuka tells Masahiko her feelings for him, but is rejected by Masahiko. After telling her about his memory of the girl, she realises that it was Kyoko who was the girl. She sacrifices her love for Masahiko so her sister and Masahiko can be happy together. The story ends with Masahiko and his dream girl, who was Kyoko all along, making love together.
