I'd like to thank the revival of the series, but... A long-awaited new addition has arrived from my favorite series. The heroine's beauty is as stunning as ever, and Haruka Kitagawa's portrayal of an M-type married woman suits her gentle, sensual charm perfectly. Normally, I would give it five stars, but this time I felt somewhat unsatisfied with the story's structure.
The husband, who has a cheating habit, fabricates a "fake business trip," the boss's former lover's residence, and the place the heroine heads toward with the boss at the end—I can sense the intention to cleverly intertwine these elements, but the connections between them are vague and not clearly conveyed to the viewer. It's a shame because more careful foreshadowing or explanation could have enhanced immersion.
That said, the way the calm, elegant married woman gradually opens her heart and body under the boss's forceful yet skillful guidance faithfully inherits the strengths of the previous series. Haruka Kitagawa's acting prowess stands out, especially the subtle changes in her conflicted mindset, conveyed through her eye movements and the tremor in her voice—it's masterful. Overall, I feel a rating of four stars is appropriate.
On a different note, in recent years, I feel that an increasing number of works in this "pillage-type adultery" AV drama genre are inserting unnecessary gangbang scenes. Sexual preferences vary, and I won't deny that some viewers enjoy that. However, many users project themselves onto the man having sex with the heroine. Gangbang scenes shatter that immersion instantly. I find it hard to believe that there are more men than we think who derive pleasure from inserting themselves into holes others have used. I think the production side should reconsider this point from the viewer's perspective.
If they think that hardcore gangbang depictions satisfy users with S-type preferences, that's a major misunderstanding. A true S finds joy in monopolizing, dominating, and binding a woman—not in mere violence or group rape. Gangbang scenes are rather the polar opposite of monopoly and domination. Isn't it the "pillage-type adultery" format, where the man who takes and the woman who is taken face each other one-on-one, that many viewers truly want? I strongly hope this series will stay true to this path without wavering in the future.
Is there a happy future with Mikuni? Haruka Kitagawa suspects her husband Yoshiki (Yoichi Matsumoto) of cheating as their relationship has grown cold. Meanwhile, Yoshiki's adultery trip under the guise of a fake business trip is exposed by his boss, Department Head Mikuni (Tony Ohki), who scolds him, saying "If you don't shape up, I can't protect you anymore." Haruka is shocked to see her husband carried home drunk by Mikuni. She stops Mikuni from leaving, saying "It's dangerous to drive after drinking," and urges him to stay. While laying out the futon, she asks, "Has my husband been acting strangely lately?" Mikuni is evasive.
On November 2nd, seeing her husband off, Haruka recalls the previous night's events. In the dining room, Mikuni grabs her arm and pressures her, saying, "Won't you share some happiness with me too?" He whispers, "From now on, Kitagawa will be in a tight spot. I'm the only one who can protect you," then licks her nape, gropes her breasts, and steals a kiss. He sucks her nipples on the rug, and as she tries to crawl away, he fingers her hairless pussy. He bends her over the dining table and fingers her. He lays her on her back, performs cunnilingus, and licks her thighs while covering her mouth with his hand. He fucks her in missionary on the rug, then in bent-leg and shoulder-carry positions, and creampies her. She breaks down crying while washing her body in the shower.
Collapsing in the kitchen, she is embraced by Mikuni when he wakes up. He devours her lips, throat-fucks her, twists her nipples, and fingers her. He ejaculates inside her vagina in missionary and bent-leg positions. Mikuni brings the once-again drunk Yoshiki back to the Kitagawa home. In the futon, Mikuni licks Haruka's nape, fingers her, squeezes her breasts, licks her nipples and clit, and fingers her. Unable to resist, she sucks his nipples and penis, and they perform 69. He creampies her in missionary, front-sitting, shoulder-carry, and doggy, and they kiss tongue-to-tongue.
On the 5th, she is thrust into in a standing position in the hallway, grabs the window frame, and he ejaculates inside her vagina from behind. She sits by the living room window, and he immediately licks her and fingers her. He creampies her in missionary. On the 6th, he ejaculates inside her vagina in missionary on the married couple's bed. Her husband wants her, but she refuses, saying "I'm tired." On the 7th, she sucks Mikuni's penis as he sits on the edge of the bathtub, and he skewers her from behind in doggy. On the 8th, her husband asks, "You haven't been initiating lately, have you?" She puts on makeup and waits for her lover. When Mikuni arrives, they intertwine tongues; in bed, she licks his nipples and he sucks hers. She immediately gives him a blowjob, and he licks her back and clit and fingers her. They lick each other's penises, scrotums, and anuses, and perform 69. He creampies her in missionary, raised hip, side-lying, skirt-lift, front-sitting, cowboy, doggy, and missionary. Then, hand in hand with Mikuni, she leaves the house.
This work depicts the process of a wife becoming engrossed in a relationship with her husband's boss, triggered by her husband's infidelity, with restrained direction and realistic psychological portrayal. In particular, the accumulation of intense acts repeated during the husband's absence skillfully expresses Haruka's changing heart and dependence. While the variations of sex acts are abundant, each scene has dramatic depth and does not end as mere erotic depiction, which is excellent. Also, the contrast between Mikuni's forcefulness and gentleness, played by Tony Ohki, invites the viewer's empathy. Throughout, tension and sensuality are maintained at a high level, making this a work that can be enjoyed as human drama as well.
Depiction of gradually sinking day by day. This was probably the first creampie scene in this series. The circumstances leading to the affair may differ for each person, but I felt that the expressions of the married woman gradually falling into depravity, the subtle movements of her fingertips, and the wavering of her heart were carefully depicted.
The actress was, as expected, a former model and had a beautiful figure, but it was a pity that some of the lines were hard to hear. That said, her moans at the moment of climax felt natural, and the rawness, not overly polished, actually enhanced the sense of realism.
Although she had a good figure and was somewhat tall, the veteran actor Mr. TO skillfully led and controlled the scene admirably. His ability to handle a tall partner so naturally is impressive.
The ending was deliberately depicted with a touch of ambiguity, which likely emphasizes the sadness and sense of transgression of piling up secret meetings in this moment precisely because we can't predict how things will unfold. Overall, I think it's a well-crafted, excellent work.
