AZRD-150 - High school days Manami Uzuki

I watched this after 'Hatsuhana', and it's rough. Was she really active as a gravure idol? The dialogue in the drama segments is hopeless. And then she goes straight into a dull vibrator scene with that same lack of energy. Maybe she's trying to be 'realistic' by not moaning like in typical AVs, but this is an AV, and a solo feature at that. Is she doing this against her will? I'm just speculating (lol), but all I felt while watching was negativity. I'm making a bold claim after only two videos, but the actress is the problem here. She's not bad-looking, but she's not cut out to be an AV actress. The cinematography is actually quite good—they don't unnecessarily tilt the camera, and the balance between wide shots and close-ups is solid. It's a rare case that's the exact opposite of those trashy videos where the only good thing is the actress.

Not that cute... the uniform doesn't really suit her, and there isn't much of it. A letdown.

Judging by the cover, I thought she would be a cute, lolita-style actress, but in reality, there was no lolita vibe at all. Personally, I didn't find anything particularly cute or sexy about her in this work. It was just average—nothing to write home about. For what it's worth, there are 4 sex scenes across 6 chapters, so there's plenty of action.
