This is another episode that gets its own continuation later on… but a LOT later on. Like, so far later on that there aren’t subs for it (yet… I hope?)
So we begin the episode with a train ride and narration from our hero, Masaki Murakami, a- wait, HERO?! Our main protagonist is a male?! Huh… Well anyway, he describs himself as “just your average Tokyo University graduate.” Yeah, no biggie.
He’s heading to the Ayukawa family mansion because he saw a newspaper ad that paid 3000 yen to stay at a room for one month (or cost 3000 yen to stay for one month… it isn’t entirely clear and it could go either way), and he really wants to get out of Tokyo and study away from it all.
It doesn’t take long for girls to start looking at him all lustily at the mansion.
The maid, Aya, brings Masaki inside to meet Saiko, the mistress of the house, and it’s Masaki’s turn to look at someone with lust.
Masaki goes to his room and thinks about how isolated the mansion is. They have no communication with the outside world, and the only other people living there are the three girls. Also, we learn this takes place during World War II, with Masaki being glad he avoided being drafted into the navy because he went to university and commenting that war with America “is inevitable.”
At any rate, he gets invited to sit with Saiko, who explains why she put out the ad.
Masaki seems to understand what’s going on, but he tries to shift the subject… which only results in Saiko going for the more direct approach.
So Saiko basically has her way with Masaki on the couch, and the door creaks open just a bit so we can assume one of the girls is peeking. Also, this H-scene is surprisingly poorly drawn… it’s rather amusing, actually.
So after that night, Misaki has been the madam’s fuck toy every night. But something bothers him: he heard the peeper that night, and he wonders if it was Aya or Arisa (oh hey, her name’s Arisa!).
He contemplates this while listening to Arisa playing the violin. Then Arisa goes and makes her move and admits she’s the one who peeped on them.
Misaki turns her down and continues to fuck her mother like a boss.
After their latest fuck, Saiko calls for Aya to come in (turns out she was just outside the door) and tells her to strip.
Misaki turns his head away in disgust… then promptly sticks his dick into some crazy because… well, fuck, why not?
While that’s going on, Saiko hears Arisa peeping and catches her pleasuring herself.
She promptly turns this party into a foursome.
Several days afterward, Misaki can’t remember what’s going on – just that he’s only ever let out of his room when the girls need to fuck him. Randomly, Aya warns him that the drink he has every night is laced with a poisonous aphrodisiac that will kill him if he uses it too much – and that’s what what killed the mansion’s former master.
He didn’t even run away with the maid. I don’t know what to make of that.
Some time later, he’s woken up by a friend, who shows him a newspaper.
Misaki ignores the main headline and sees another story that proves that what he went through wasn’t a dream.
He wonders if the girls are still alive somewhere. Aaaaand… then the episode ends. Weird.
The sequel to this episode is in Cream Lemon ep. 35, and it’s a total mind trip. It’s also not subbed, which is a shame.
At any rate, this is the first of the very few horror episodes of Cream Lemon. I mean… I guess it’s not really “scary” horror per se, but it has horror elements. The sequel definitely qualifies more. I am a fan of both Black Cat Mansion episodes, but the problem with them is… well, they’re mansion stories. You’ve seen one mansion horror hentai story, you’ve seen them all. I mean, just compare the C’s Ware games I covered.
