ワーズ・ワース Wāzu Wāsu
Background
A five part hentai serial and eroge game from Japan from the mid to late '90's. The series was banned from import into Canada due to its potrayal of sexual exploitation. Though the english dubbed version is often criticized for its poor translation, it is memorable because it featured the vocal talents of both Jenna Jameson and Nikki Dial.
Synopsis
The skill of sword-fighting is known to two tribes, the Tribes of Light (which consists of humans living on the world's surface) and Shadow (largely part-human-part-animal creatures and monsters living in an underground city, who enjoy a lifespan five times as long as the Tribe of Light and age one-fifth as quickly). The two tribes lived in peace and harmony, their domains separated by the "Words Worth" tablet — a huge monolith slab erected by an almighty creator. Although the tablet has writing on it, neither Tribe can read the text. One day, Words Worth was mysteriously destroyed by an unknown entity; its fragments scattered among the domain of the Tribes of Shadow.
The two Tribes blamed each other for the tablet's destruction, and started a war that has continued for 150 years (100 in the anime).
Astral, prince of the Tribe of Shadow, desires to become a Swordsman of Shadow. However, his father, King Wortoshika, forbids him to do so. He is engaged to Sharon, a beautiful swordswoman and Astral's childhood friend, who has feelings for Astral but wishes he were stronger.
