One of the masterpieces of the first half of this year. I had assumed that the best work of the first half of the year was "Your Wife Was Amazing," but this work is on par with that. I'll list the points that particularly impressed me.
First, while many works feature a virgin setting but suddenly have the man become incredibly virile and skilled during sex scenes, in this work, the man gradually becomes more proactive but maintains an inexperienced atmosphere until the end. The interactions, where he constantly seeks guidance from the woman, felt realistic and were well done.
Next, this director's characteristic, for better or worse, is not showing the screen clearly, but in this work, that trait was restrained, making it very easy to watch. The video quality felt high.
And Ayano-san was the most beautiful she has ever been. Her waist, thighs, upper arms, and other areas had a moderate volume that was sexy and appealing. In the blowjob scene around the 18-minute mark, there was a close-up where you could even see inside her nose, slowly and sensually showing it, and Ayano-san's eye movements at that time were superb, with an exquisite use of her gaze.
Furthermore, Ayano-san's acting ability to skillfully differentiate between her mother's face and her woman's face was overwhelming. In particular, her expressions around the 49-minute mark and the 1-hour 42-minute mark were of unparalleled beauty, and I was captivated. She led the man throughout but never overdid it, and even lines that could have been vulgar carried a sense of dignity when spoken by Ayano-san. The delivery of the line "Yeah, okay. Hamburg steak, right?" was also excellent, with a perfect balance between the everyday and the extraordinary.
Although it was short, I was also excited by Ayano-san's first masturbation scene in a while. Her voice was very cute, and the gap with her usual calm demeanor was irresistible. The male actor's performance was also skillful, and their interplay felt natural.
The costumes had a refined housewife feel, and the underwear was erotic without deviating from a normal housewife's style, achieving an exquisite balance. The package photo was also so beautiful that I wanted to frame it and display it.
However, as a minor point, I think the introductory part leading up to taking off the daughter's boyfriend's pants could have been depicted with a bit more time. That part felt a little rushed.
As I also felt in the older work "After the Graduation Ceremony," Ayano-san is truly skilled at fully becoming a mother role. Not only her line delivery and expressions, but also the atmosphere and presence she exudes are that of a mother herself. In my own imagination, Ayano-san likely builds the character from the inside out, not just with superficial portrayals, and approaches the work that way. On the other hand, judging from sample videos, there are actresses who, before even considering lines or expressions, simply don't look like the role at all. For those who watch AV works as pure fantasy, this might not matter, but for me, who seeks a certain degree of realism, it kills my interest at that point. In that regard, Ayano-san's stability is unparalleled, and she has reached the level of a true actress, not a makeshift one. I was reminded once again that Ayano-san is a treasure of the AV world. In an industry where stars change rapidly, I sincerely hope that Madonna and her agency will continue to cherish a rare talent like Ayano-san.
The fixed camera is too far away. This work overall has issues with camera work, with many fixed angles and shots that are too far from the subject in several places. The filming doesn't consider the viewer's perspective, lacking a sense of immersion. Specifically, the blowjob-to-mouth creampie scene is unclear, and the moment of ejaculation isn't properly captured. Additionally, while there is a POV blowjob, the crucial sex scenes are also shot with a fixed camera and fade out at the end, diminishing the excitement. Only the final chapter includes a blowjob-to-mouth creampie and a missionary position creampie, but in other parts, the camera is too far away, making it hard to convey detailed expressions and movements. Overall, the camera distance is poor and the work lacks the power to draw in viewers, so it's not recommended.
