Yukiya Ayase is a gentle, kind hearted, and innocent university student. The only relative he has left, his cousin Tetsuo, betrays Ayase by selling him to the highest bidder in an auction with hopes of making an enormous profit to be able to pay off his debts. Somuku Kanou, a bad-tempered (though very rich) loan shark, comes to Ayase's rescue and buys Ayase for an impressive 1.2 billion. Kanou apparently knows Ayase from something that happened between them in the past, but Ayase cannot remember who Kanou is nor does he understand why he "saved" him. In a desperate effort to keep Ayase close to him, Kanou demands the debt be repaid in full and suggests the perfect way to do it: by selling his body to Kanou for 500,000 each time. Ayase is horrified in the beginning, but something soon begins to grow between them that can't be bought for any price. (Source: ANN)

This is the second yaoi I've ever watched and though I'm a proud fan of quality gayism these days, it killed all my good-hearted gay-loving intentions to give yaoi in general, as a genre, a chance. Putting aside the obvious moral issues I have with the baffling and quite fucking creepy idea put into this story, these four episodes contain nothing that's connected to what it should be connected. It's a mix of explicit scenes, tears and rape sessions which, I guess, get people going. Which is you know, fine by me, should this be a pure porn of some fetish bullshit but there isno way in Lord's Heaven I'm letting this pass as a romance. Unless you're touching upon the heartbreaking concept of sex slavery from a serious veiwpoint, you might notice that the fucking "yikes" plot of this weebshow and the romance it's trying to pull off somehow don't mix well. Incredibly disproportionate characters. Art is basically bullshit. VA had my ears bleed. Relationships are based on a classically disastrous mix of jealously, emotions that shouldn't be there ( and aren't, really ) and nonexistent romantic intentions that would in real life result in something like a 911 call. You will feel about as trapped in this anime while watching it as the main character did when he got continuously raped by his romantic interest. ( I guess ? )

I have to admit, Okane ga Nai scared the fuck out of me the first time I watched it in my middle school years. I was always scared about what would happen to the uke since I put myself into his shoes. Every episode increased my chances of a heart attack until I finished the series with sweat and hot breath. Even the most gruesome torture horror packed anime can't touch upon what I experienced from this yaoi. Story: I can't. I just can't relive these memories. Art: It was real enough to immerse me inside its reality. Sound: The uke's screams sounded exactly like theones in my head Character: That uke is tantamount to me being fucked Enjoyment: I refuse to admit enjoyment. Overall: After all these years, I'm almost graduating high school, my soul is forever scarred. I can't decide whether to rate it 10 or 1. I can't rate it Pathetic (1) since it made such a 180* change to my soul and there's no way something pathetic can have such an immense effect on me, but I can call it Outstanding (10) in a definite Negative way.
