Synopsis
In Cornelica, a town literally populated by succubi, demon women who drain men of their life force, Aru has managed to survive this long because his succubus companion Lily has been keeping the others at bay, which is a full-time job when your entire neighborhood wants to siphon your soul. It's a strange domestic arrangement, but it works, until it doesn't. When Aru visits the local church for help, the head priestess Hakura hands him a mysterious drug with some very unorthodox instructions for how to recover. Then a tavern accident pulls him into the orbit of the owner Rosary and her assistant Arune, and suddenly Aru's calendar is very, very full. The whole thing is adapted from a visual novel and produced by Majin as a 4-episode OVA from 2018, so it's short and doesn't overstay its welcome. The setting has genuine atmosphere, Cornelica feels like a lived-in supernatural world rather than just a backdrop, and the power dynamics between Aru and the succubi around him give it some actual tension underneath the obvious appeal. If you've watched Kyonyuu Fantasy or Tiny Evil and wanted something with a bit more world-building holding it together, this scratches that itch. Fans of Kuroinu will recognize the vibe, though Cornelica leans more into its mythology than pure darkness. Go in knowing exactly what it is.

haplapela01★★★★☆EP 4
xaldin_458★★★★☆EP 1that first demon girl cornering him by the water was intense and the transition from his boring bar life to that city was super fast
zacian_314★★★★☆EP 1Characters in this show have such detailed designs and the first scene in the bar had such a nice atmosphere before everything went crazy and he found that stone
shun★★★★☆EP 1The initial shock on his face when he realized where he was really got to me and then the succubi just started swarming him and the colors were so bright
gisell_ghoul_485★★★☆☆EP 1That protagonist just accepting he is in a succubus town and needs to collect energy to get home is kind of funny and it really skips the drama to get to the point
marluxia_454★★★☆☆EP 1Transitioning from the bar to the succubus world was so fast and the art style really captures the Dieselmine look perfectly because the girls look exactly like the game assets
green_318★★★☆☆EP 1Watching the stone transport scene get animated was really cool for anyone who played the game and the way they handled the first succubus encounter felt right for a pilot
goshinki_251★★★☆☆EP 1watching him realize he needs to fill up a mana gauge just to go home is such a classic game mechanic and the visuals for it were great
silentotaku★★★★☆EP 1that choice between escaping or becoming a slave is not even a real question when the girls look like that and the mana drain starts
rimuru_ruler_151★★★★☆EP 1I remember playing the original game years ago, so seeing the protagonist wake up in Cornelica felt like a trip down memory lane. The way the light from the stone looked was a cool touch but the real draw is how they handled the first girl at the spring. She was aggressive in all the right ways and I am definitely curious how he will manage his energy
sleepysquishs★★★★☆EP 1seeing the background art of the city was cool for me because it actually looks like a fantasy world instead of just some cheap bedroom set
kazuma_klever_147★★★★☆EP 1it is basically just a standard portal fantasy setup but with more skin and the bar scene at the start felt way too short before the magic stuff happened
uraraka_uravity_124★★★★☆EP 1those succubi designs are looking exactly like the game art and that first girl at the fountain really did not waste any time getting to work on him
gyomei_goliath★★★★☆EP 1The animation for the first encounter was surprisingly smooth, and the voice acting for the main succubus really nailed that playful tone from the game
rauru★★★★☆EP 1I think the way that glowing stone just snatched him up was actually pretty funny and now he is stuck in a literal paradise for his kind of luck
franky_fiesta_65★★★★☆EP 1you can tell he is totally doomed because there is no way anyone is going back to a normal bar job after seeing what this city has to offer
makoto_kino★★★★☆EP 1Seeing that glowing stone drag him into a world of demons was wild, especially since he was just trying to get some water for his shift at the bar
kumaru_yukihara★★★★☆EP 1The art style matches the Dieselmine game perfectly and that first encounter in the forest felt so much more intense than I expected it to be since he has no idea what he is getting into or how he is going to make it back home without losing his mind from all the magic energy he needs to gather
panda_power_138★★★☆☆EP 1Watching him realize he has to provide energy just to survive in this new world was funny and stressful at the same time
yobuko_yuki_69★★★★☆EP 1This guy finds a glowing rock and suddenly he is the only human in a city full of thirsty succubi
