Love and Money: Dark Contract, Tae Kousaka

Tae, a wife supporting her husband Kenta who became unable to walk due to an accident. To save their impoverished life, she chooses to take part in an under-the-table job at the invitation of a mysterious man named Kurosaki who approached her. Although their life becomes easier, the stress of being tormented by guilt day by day leads Tae into an affair with Kurosaki. Furthermore, she suffers the disaster of being physically and mentally violated by a man named Konishi who joins later. Tae's spirit finally reaches its limit in this hellish daily life, and she resolves to quit the job...

As a drama work, it's the best! This work, as the title suggests, is themed around "Love and Money: A Black Contract," and both the actress and actor deliver professional performances. While the sexual depictions are substantial and engaging as an AV, it's not recommended for those expecting hardcore content or intense expressions of love. Personally, I find Tae Kousaka more to my liking now than in the era of Sachika Akimoto. Her composed acting and subtle changes in expression suit the theme of this work well.
