Bride of Darkness

Sanshiro, a young servant quietly in love with his master's daughter Momoyo, is quietly losing his mind about it. He watches her through a hole in the ceiling like the hopeless mess he is, fully aware nothing will ever come of it. Then her fiancé comes home from abroad, and instead of the wholesome reunion Sanshiro imagined, he witnesses something far stranger: rituals, S&M, and the slow creeping sense that something supernatural is pulling the strings behind it all. The domestic drama spirals fast into demonic territory, with a family curse demanding Momoyo's purity as some kind of dark payment. Sanshiro is stuck in the middle — a guy with a crush who stumbled into a horror story. The late 90s art style is pure classic hentai, the kind with actual shadows and atmosphere rather than modern clean lines, and the supernatural horror elements give it more texture than you'd expect from a 2-episode OVA. It's not trying to be subtle — the erotic and the eerie are fully tangled together by design. If you've watched Injuu Nerawareta Idol and appreciated how that era blended dread into its eroticism, this hits a similar note. Fans of Oni no Hanayome wa Taberaretai or Kyojinzoku no Hanayome looking for something older and darker in tone will find familiar territory here. It's a short watch with a specific mood, and it delivers exactly what it promises.
