Wait, There’s a Hentai Version?!

You might know Princess Lover! as a fan-favorite ecchi anime from 2009, but did you know it also has a hentai version? Yep! Princess Lover! went full H in 2010, leaving fans of the original show both shocked and intrigued. The ecchi version was already toeing the line with its teasing, but the hentai adaptation, officially titled Princess Lover! OVA, took things all the way—and let's just say, fans loved every second of it!

If you’re wondering why an anime that seems pretty wholesome (minus the fanservice) got this saucy sequel, it's because Princess Lover! already had the perfect foundation for an adult version. Sexy girls, intimate moments, and rich, high-society drama—what's not to love?!

High Society and Sexy Shenanigans!

At first glance, Princess Lover! might seem like your typical romantic comedy set in a high-class academy. But trust me, it’s so much more! The plot follows Teppei Arima, a regular guy whose life turns upside down when he’s suddenly adopted into a super-rich family. Now, he’s rubbing shoulders with royalty and other high-society elites, and—of course—some drop-dead gorgeous ladies. 

From the very beginning, the anime promises a healthy dose of ecchi, with Teppei finding himself in one steamy situation after another. Whether it’s an accidental boob grab or a daring love confession, the anime knew how to keep us watching—and guessing! 

Sylvia van Hossen’s Swordplay and Tsundere Charm

Sylvia is the tsundere knight we all adore! A master swordswoman with a stoic personality, she starts off as a tough nut to crack. But, as with all tsunderes, beneath that tough exterior is a heart of gold, and Teppei slowly helps her reveal her softer side. 

In the hentai OVA, Sylvia becomes the main focus, and it’s her relationship with Teppei that takes center stage in all of the steamy scenes. Fans of Sylvia (myself included) were thrilled, as she gets plenty of screen time in all her sultry glory. 

Sylvia’s character, already a fan favorite from the original, cemented herself as the star of the OVA, and boy did she deliver in those intimate moments! Her chemistry with Teppei was off the charts, and their interactions are what made the hentai OVA such a huge hit.

Yuu, the soft-spoken and beautiful maid, also gets a little spotlight in the OVA, but it’s much briefer compared to Sylvia. In her signature maid outfit, Yuu brings an extra dose of sweetness to the OVA. Her quiet, caring demeanor contrasts well with Sylvia’s fiery spirit, making her scenes with Teppei stand out in a more tender, yet still spicy way.

Even though her H-scene is short, it’s memorable, adding a bit of variety to the OVA while still keeping Sylvia in the main spotlight. For those who love the maid archetype, Yuu’s presence in the OVA is a pleasant (and steamy) surprise!

What About Charlotte?

Now, I know you’re wondering—where’s Charlotte Hazelrink in all of this? Despite being a central character in the original anime, Charlotte is surprisingly absent in the hentai OVA. Fans of her royal cuteness were disappointed not to see her in any of the H-scenes, but hey, Sylvia and Yuu definitely carried the show on their own! 

Perhaps this absence added to the OVA’s mystique, making it a little different from what fans expected. But rest assured, even without Charlotte, the OVA still delivered a steamy, unforgettable experience.

So why did the hentai version of Princess Lover! become such a cult hit? For starters, Sylvia van Hossen fans finally got to see their favorite tsundere in a much steamier light. The OVA didn’t hold back on the romantic (and erotic) tension between Sylvia and Teppei, and the quality of animation was top-tier, making the intimate scenes both visually stunning and tastefully done. 

The OVA didn’t deviate from Sylvia’s core character, which fans appreciated. It wasn’t just about the H-scenes—it was about seeing their favorite characters in a new, more mature setting that still felt true to the original story. That’s why the OVA continues to be so well-loved by both ecchi and hentai fans alike!

A Story Worth Remembering, Ecchi and All!

At the end of the day, Princess Lover! will always have a special place in the hearts of ecchi fans. Its unique blend of high-society drama and fanservice made it a cult classic, and the hentai version only solidified its place in anime history!

So, if you’re looking for an anime that has it all—romance, comedy, and a whole lot of ecchi—Princess Lover! should definitely be on your watchlist. And don’t forget, the OVA is just the cherry on top of this already delicious treat!
