HEAVENS LOST SADISM #23

Not until the end do you find out why this story about yet another crazy contest, one that involves Tomoki molesting boobies and being creamed by Sohara, is given the title "Letter." (Also, it's another pointless appearance of the character "Judas," who's wearing out his welcome real fast.)

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #22

The artist returns to the porn-well again for "Hide Your Porn Under the Bed (Nymph)"). Once again, Tomoki is just minding his own business with his porn. Nymph sees him and then leaps to the idea that the young fellow nurtures the desire to perform all sorts of obscenities on her, so she punches him for his imagined acts. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #21

 In the whimsically titled "Hide Your Porn Neatly Under the Bed (Astraea)," Astraea observes Tomoki enjoying his porn, and she gets the dimwitted idea that she can somehow lure him into a killing trap. She doesn't succeed, but she does alert Sohara to Tomoki's activities, and Sohara fulfills her role as quasi-maternal Punisher by chopping Tomoki in half (temporarily). Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #20

 "The North Wind and the Sun pt. 2" repeats the earlier joke: Tomoki tries to take refuge in his bathroom. Ikaros, unable to let her master escape her attentions, gimmcks up the room to cause him all sorts of distress, under the cover of caring for his needs.

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #19

"Swimming" is a mixed bag of a story. For most of the tale, Tomoki, an excellent swimmer, uses those skills to peep on and molest many of the hot young babes at the local pool, including Sohara and Astraea (a third Angeloid who, despite planning to slay Tomoki, doesn't manage to land any "hit points" on him up to this point). Nymph uses her skills to nullify Tomoki's swimming skills and he's forlorn at being unable to peep. Astraea, in her first half-effective plot to kill Tomoki, makes the pool act like a tsunami, throwing everyone into confusion. Tomoki somehow manages to overcome his memory-block enough to maneuver in the pool-storm, and then he (accidentally?) grabs hold of Nymph's bikini-bottom, for which offense she kicks him. He almost drowns but is rescued by Ikaros. Though he isn't intending to molest in this scene, he's done so much by this time that the verdict is JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #18

 In "Out of Money," Tomoki tries to sell Sohara's used panties, and Sohara does what Sohara does best.

Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #17

 In "Her First Change of Residence," Sohara chops Tomoki twice for poaching on her orange tree-- an example of his exploitation of their friendship, though not exactly a refutation of said friendship.

Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #16

Three separate clobberings in "Culture."

First, excitable Nymph hits Tomoki when their hands accidentally touch.

Second, Tomoki embarrasses Sohara by mangling the language, and she chops him.

Third is a virtual repeat of the Second one, as Tomoki's goofy performance earns him a chop-down.

Verdict: all UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #15

 In "Date," Nymph more or less strongarms Tomoki into taking her on a date, or what the angeloid conceives to be a date thanks to her TV viewing. At the date's conclusion, she tries to replicate the normal end of a date by getting Tomoki to kiss her goodnight. He's tempted to do so, but Nymph gets cold feet and clobbers the hell out of the poor guy.

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #14

"Contest!" is devoted to the regulars all entering a pro wrestling contest. Tomoki actually does pretty well because whenever he meets a female wrestler, he immobilizes her with his masterful groping technique. But a mysterious masked female fighter enters the ring and chops Tomoki up and down, apparently seeking to avenge the other ladies while satisfying her own lust for violence.

(Also another dang crossover with the author's character Judas.)

Verdict, JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #13

 In "Dive!," Tomoki, Sohara and Eichiro enter a shared dream in an attempt to learn various secrets. They end up in a dream of Sohara's, in which she's fantasizing about having sex with Tomoki, but before the two guys can see anything, Sohara beats both of them unconscious. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #12

 In "Orders," Tomoki gives orders to both Ikaros and Nymph to transform him in various ways so that he can spy on his female classmates in their changing room. Naturally he gets transformed back to himself in full view of Sohara, who sends him flying.

Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #11

 In "The North Wind and the Sun," Tomoki tries to hide from the troublesome presences of Ikaros and Nymph by taking refuge in the toilet. But a man just can't be allowed to self-isolate when the womenfolk move in, so Tomoki takes a ride on a different kind of "jet."

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #10

 In "Smile Attack," more groping of Sohara, more beating of Tomoki. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #9

 In "School!," Tomoki mouths off by calling Sohara an idiot, and she punishes him. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #8

 In "The Female Bath Area," Tomoki uses Ikaros' powers to gain access to a female bathhouse, so that he can ogle and grope to his heart's content. Sohara then catches and beats him to her heart's content. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #7

 In "The First Allowance," Ikaros wants to know what will please Tomoki. Sohara tells her that he'll be happy if Ikaros is by his side, so she gets so close as to crush Tomoki into a wall. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #6

 In "Blown Up," Tomoki's early wish to see panties causes dozens of panties, including Sohara's to fly around like birds, so she clobbers him. Later, she invokes Ikaros's powers to make the panties explode in Tomoki's presence. Verdict; JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #5

 In "Dirge," everyone in town plays a survival game for big money, and for no clear reason, everyone, including Sohara, targets Tomoki. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.

Crossover note: artist guest-stars the character "Judas" from the manga of the same name.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #4

 In "Home Work," Sohara and Tomoki are fishing from a river. It's Sohara's own fault for falling into the water, but Tomoki gets punished for staring at her wet shirt and boobs.

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #3

 In "Sink," Sohara becomes jealous when Tomoki teaches Ikaros how to swim but not her, though Sohara doesn't simply ask her secret love to teach her as well.

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #2

 In the third story, "Soar," Sohara sees the android Ikaros for the first time when it appears like Tomoki is trying to boink her, and Sohara hits Tomoki off-panel.

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED, though in the previous story Tomoki escaped punishment when he had Ikaros turn him invisible and he groped Sohara's boobies.

In the same story, Tomoki idly makes a wish to see Sohara's panties, and pays for it. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.

HEAVENS LOST SADISM #1

 The thought came to me that since on THE ARCHETYPAL ARCHIVE I've often argued that certain continuing features stress female-on-male violence in a syndromic manner-- that is, with a concerted emphasis, not just to exploit "casual sadism"-- this blog would be a good place to look at particular serials from start to finish to show how often scenes of sadism, whether justified or not, are used as entertainment. 

First up is "Fallen," the initial story from Minazuki Suu's HEAVEN'S LOST PROPERTY, in which protagonist Tomoki gets clobbered by his neighbor Sohara simply for having "morning wood."

Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED
