Pornographic and over the top, Devil Ecstasy nevertheless presages Oshimi's later masterworks while presenting an entirely new spin on his pitch-black worldview. There's something irresistibly charming about the artwork, and some genuinely touching moments thanks to the eminently relatable protagonists.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNoboru Kusakabe is an 18-year-old virgin who has a mortal fear of big breasts thanks to a childhood trauma.
