Nami HosinoI have no family. My father passed away shortly after I was born, and my mother remarried when I was a teenager. That remarried partner had a child. A man eight years older than me. After my parents died in an accident, I lived with him for half a year. A past I don't want to remember… the worst man. That man suddenly appeared before me and my fiancé.
The stepbrother, Odagiri, appears before the engaged Nami. He's set up as the worst kind of guy – the child of her mother's new husband – but a more despicable actor, like Pierre in the Ayaharu Natsume version, would have made it feel more realistic. Nami's acting and lines also leave something to be desired, so I'm docking points. However, her shadowy beauty and tanned, firm body are still incredibly captivating, and it's easy to see why the worst kind of man would desire her. Nami is suddenly attacked by a man she hates, her desperate resistance futile as she's violated. She's repeatedly humiliated and abused, and despite her heart's protests, she finds herself succumbing to his desires. Is the mind separate from the body? She gradually adapts to the man, even starting to experience pleasure. The eroticism of this subtly writhing, panther-like body is truly Nami's forte. This production conveys the sadness of a woman falling into submission, becoming accustomed to the pleasure of being pierced by the flesh of a man she despises… I don't hate it.
It's a pretty common storyline these days, but all of this production company's series feel like the actors are just *acting*, and I'm not a fan.
