Nikkatsu Roman Porno
The Nikkatsu Roman Porno films were a series of theatrical Japanese softcore pornographic films produced by the movie studio Nikkatsu from November, 1971, until May, 1988. The Japanese word roman (ロマン) arguably either refers to the French word roman, meaning "novel" (work of fiction), or is an abbreviation of the phrase "romantic pornography." This is a list of the films in that series.
