Forbidden Touch After Work: Review of the Anime Series 'My Fingers Made Me Do It'

Have you ever wondered what chaos hides behind the scenes of a chic city hair salon? 俺の指で乱れろ。～閉店後二人きりのサロンで...～ (My Fingers Made Me Do It), a 2020 anime series, takes us into the life of Fumi, an apprentice who must confront Sousuke, a master hairdresser who loves to touch her with his fingertips at night. This story will take you to the scorching sexual tension in the salon after hours.

Plot Summary (No Spoilers)

Fumi Hoshiya, a young girl dreaming of becoming a professional hairdresser, works as an assistant at a popular salon in the capital. She undergoes rigorous training under the strict guidance of Sousuke Nanase, a highly skilled hairdresser and store manager with a captivating touch. Every time he touches her, Fumi feels confused inside. Until one day after closing, she becomes Sousuke's practice partner at the shampoo basin. As he caresses and splashes water on her, her anger turns into something more. Sousuke senses Fumi's heart, and a sly smile appears on his face. His fingertips begin to glide over every nook and cranny of her body... Fumi can no longer resist his touch.

Performance and Characters

Although it's an anime, the voice cast does an excellent job. Yuri Yamaoka as Fumi convincingly conveys the confusion between anger and desire, while Wataru Komada voices Sousuke with both composure and cunning, making the character charmingly alluring. The voice acting of Masatomo Nakazawa (another version of Fumi) and Takuma Nagatsuka (Kaname) also adds depth to the supporting characters. Even though the story focuses on the main relationship, the voice acting makes the characters' emotions clearer.

Direction, Visuals, and Music

As an erotic anime, the visuals are decent. The after-hours scenes where the two characters are alone are softly lit, creating an intimate and tense atmosphere. The characters' movements, especially Sousuke's fingertips, are emphasized. The background music appropriately enhances the romantic and arousing mood, though not outstandingly, it doesn't detract from the experience. A downside is that some animation scenes appear stiff, especially during fast movements.

Editorial Analysis

The editorial team views 俺の指で乱れろ。 as a series that focuses on power dynamics and gradual consent in relationships. Fumi seems weak but has her own stance. Although Sousuke appears dominant, the story allows viewers to question the boundaries of desire. Sousuke's use of 'fingertips' as a seductive weapon symbolizes a slow invasion of personal space, which may make some uncomfortable. However, for fans of 'slow burn' and emotional tension, this series is engaging. That said, the plot can feel repetitive at times, and the relationship development may not be realistic in the real world.

Verdict

If you are a fan of erotic anime that enjoys slow-burn sexual tension and unique situational plots, 'My Fingers Made Me Do It' might be an interesting choice. However, if you prefer complex storylines or high-quality animation, this may not meet your expectations. Overall, it's suitable for viewers looking for light entertainment in their spare time, but not focused on realism.
