Cream Lemon – Pop Chaser (1984) – Original Douga of Rio & Mai Kiss Scene – Annotated Production Drawing

An exceptionally rare original douga (production drawing) from the 1984 Cream Lemon OVA Pop Chaser, capturing a tender and cinematic kiss scene between Rio and Mai, two iconic characters from this early adult animation cult classic.
Drawn by hand and marked with detailed annotations by the original animator, this douga offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the craftsmanship of 1980s Japanese animation.

The drawing shows Rio and Mai moments before their lips meet, rendered with expressive linework and subtle emotion. Around the figures, one can see timing charts, motion arrows, color codes, and studio notations, used to guide the in-between animation and coloring phases.

Released in 1984 by Studio Unicorn and Kitty Films, Pop Chaser stands out as a science-fiction parody and remains one of the most famous episodes of the Cream Lemon anthology. Though Cream Lemon is categorized as one of the earliest hentai OVAs, Pop Chaser balances eroticism with high-quality animation and storytelling, marking it as a unique work in the history of anime.

This piece is ideal for collectors of vintage anime art, fans of Cream Lemon, or anyone passionate about 1980s Japanese cel and douga production.
