Media[edit]

Manga[edit]

Written and illustrated by Uran [ja], Paradise of Innocence was serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal Arashi from April 2, 2010,[3] to May 2, 2018.[4] A spin-off, titled Paradise of Innocence Parallel (無邪気の楽園パラレル, Mujaki no Rakuen Parareru), was serialized in Young Animal Arashi from November 2, 2017,[5] to May 2, 2018.[6] Hakusensha collected its chapters, including Paradise of Innocence Parallel, in 13 tankōbon volumes, released from February 29, 2012,[7] to July 27, 2018.[8]

Original animation DVD[edit]

An original animation DVD (OAD) was bundled with the manga sixth limited-edition volume on August 29, 2014.[9] A second OAD was bundled with the manga eighth limited-edition volume on August 28, 2015.[10][11] A third and final OAD was bundled with the manga 10th limited-edition volume on August 29, 2016.[12][13][14] Hideki Araki directed the first OAD at Office No. 8,[15] while Takashi Nishikawa[14] directed the last two OADs at Seven.[16][17]

Reception[edit]

In May 2015, it was announced that the print editions of the manga would be removed from Amazon Japan due to the revised Youth Healthy Development Ordinance laws.[18]

Nicoletta Christina Browne of THEM Anime Reviews gave the OAD 1 out of 5 stars. Browne criticized the series for its content, involving minors in sexual situations, and wrote: "While I could complain more about the crappy art and animation or the stupidity of the concept, that would ultimately give it too much credit. It is twenty-six minutes of watching fifth graders get aroused while being around a pedophile, and that is all you need to know".[19]
