MM!
2010 / TV-MAThere are twisted tales and twisted tales, but few are as twisted as poor Sado's, who's just realized that he actually likes being made miserable. Of course, knowing that only makes him more miserable, which in turn... well, you get the idea. Desperate to break the circle, Sado volunteers for a special club where he hopes he can work through his issues only to discover that the other members have equally... complex... issues to deal with. For example, the hyper-aggressive club president Isurugi not only has a violent fear of cats, but also believes herself to be a god! Then there's Yuno, who's terrified of men; the Nurse, who forces other people to perform cosplay; and Hayama, Sado's best friend and a compulsive cross-dresser, who's also the girl that Sado is infatuated with. (We did say it was complex, remember?)
Seasons & Episode
Taro Sado is an ordinary high school kid, but he has a very serious issue that’s keeping him from confessing his feelings to the girl he has a crush on. To get some help, he visits “Second Voluntary Club.”
Both Taro and Arashiko have serious issues that they need to overcome. Taro is a masochist who loves to be beaten by women while Arashiko has a phobia of men and can’t help beating them up anytime one gets close to her.
Yumi Mamiya is a good friend of Arashiko, and she shows up out of the blue. Because Arashiko is friendly with Taro, Yumi, who’s very protective of Arashiko, displays hostility toward Taro.
Mio asks Taro to go on a date with her, and she insists that’s solely to rehabilitate his masochistic condition. Mio believes that the power of love can cure any complex. Under the directions of Michiru the couple starts the date.
Noa Hiiragi is known as a genius student who’s a member of “Inventor’s Club”. Taro finds a mysterious letter in his shoe locker and it turns out to be from Noa Hiiragi. Taro goes to meet her not knowing she has ulterior motives.

Taro notices a sudden change in Arashiko’s behavior. She’s no longer sweet and shy, but now bossy and mean just like Mio. Taro wonders if Mio has said something to Arashiko for her to act so erratically, but accusing her only results in harsh punishment.
Lady Mio’s very sadistic treatment for Taro’s super masochism is now in session. As he begs for more beating from Lady Mio, he accidentally slips and knocks himself unconscious for a second. He gets up but he doesn’t remember anyone who’s around him.
