Blackmail 2 opens with a sweet post-wedding scene -- newlyweds Ryosuke and Asuka are in the car, on the way to the hotel where they'll spend their wedding night. At this point, I was already wondering if this really was a sequel or merely another blackmail-themed story to expand the franchise. Ryosuke and Asuka are knocked out as soon as they get off the car, and Asuka is whisked off by some men to who knows where. I in turn braced myself for the worst, for I knew what was coming. Asuka is forcibly dragged out of the car and brutally devirginized by the men while still in her wedding dress. It's every woman's most horrible nightmare.

Like its predecessor, Blackmail 2 is characterized by vague and erratic storytelling. It's definitely a continuation of the first Blackmail, but all I could gather was that Ryosuke was in the middle of everything. He was supposedly some sort of heartbreaker, and some girls (Yumiko included) wanted to get revenge when he decided to marry Asuka. Alas poor Asuka, her only mistake was ending up with Ryosuke. So where do Asuka's mother and sister come in? Asuka's sister made the mistake of trying to seduce Ryosuke prior to the wedding, and someone videotaped her while she was at it. As you can already guess, that tape was used to blackmail her into doing all sorts of kinky things. Meanwhile, Asuka's mother was also somehow "persuaded" by a strange man into sexual slavery right after knocking on her door. Then there's this side story involving Reika, who also appeared in the first Blackmail. Reika's parents gave her up as payment for a huge debt, which sealed her fate as a sex slave. Reika doesn't have anything to do with Ryosuke, but who cares? The more girls to abuse, the merrier.
Blackmail 2 can be summarized in one word: Rape. It's all about rape, like a dozen or so different ways to rape a woman. The confusing plot is just an afterthought. Frankly I was disgusted and disconcerted by most of the sex scenes, mainly due to the premises with which they took place.

The art and animation are actually good -- crisp, clear, and vibrant. Character designs are well done. All the girls are beautiful, Ryosuke is handsome, and the all bad guys look deplorable. Sex is portrayed explicitly, too explicitly if you ask me. Every aspect of every anatomical part and sexual act are shown in their full uncensored glory. I cringed at all the bloody and brutal devirginizing that occured, the enemas that were given, and the truckloads of semen that were deposited into all the women's orifices. The women were literally turned into sex pots, and every sex scene was like a contest to see who could shoot the most cum wherever possible. I felt like throwing up at some point. The English dubbing is typical porno fare, at least I could understand what was being said.

Blackmail 2 is one very disturbing series. All the characters become so psychologically damaged that the ending turns into a bizarre freakshow that's creepy beyond description. I don't know about you, but this is definitely not my idea of an enjoyable hentai title.
