His wife, Hotaru, lived with her husband and father-in-law, who had dementia. One day, her husband dies in a traffic accident, and Hotaru blames herself for the accident. Shocked, her stepfather's condition worsens and he no longer hides his sexual desire for Hotaru. Still, she accepts it...




















To be honest, I was worried at first because I hadn't heard of the director or the actress, and the story was like "Forbidden Nursing". I didn't really feel any sympathy for the heroine's "atonement" regarding her husband's accidental death... Her father-in-law, who has dementia, mistakes her for his wife and… From that day on, Hotaru's "atonement" for her husband's death began... It doesn't really feel like "atonement". I don't think it should be released as part of the "Atonement" series... Although she initially refuses, Hotaru, who has a sense of atonement at her core, begins to accept her father-in-law, calling him "you" and acting as his wife... From the second time, Hotaru also says "It feels good!", so it must have been a happy relationship... The only problem is that her father-in-law doesn't use protection, but Hotaru seems to wash herself in the shower each time. There are also descriptions of her remembering her father-in-law when her lower body is touched. I found it strangely sensual when Hotaru kept calling him "you!" After getting close to her father-in-law after her husband's death, being embraced by him, and then spending days devoted to him, Hotaru begins to yearn to be recognized as "Hotaru" and to be embraced as "Hotaru"... Hotaru's worried mother visits and pleads with her father-in-law. Please give me my daughter back! But the father-in-law mistakes Hotaru's mother for his wife as well. Thinking about Hotaru's feelings at that moment... After sending her mother away, Hotaru hugs her father-in-law and makes a wish… She wants him to embrace her as "Hotaru"... Hotaru lets her father-in-law pinch her nose with his finger... That's something her late husband used to do to Hotaru. At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes! I want to reiterate! This shouldn't be released as part of the "Atonement" series! Even as a standalone, I wish it had been released under a separate title! The subdued BGM, like a Clint Eastwood film, was also effective.
Nagae has always been a label that values artistry, and I was impressed by how much more expressive Hotaru-san and actor Sugiura-san have become. Was it inspired by being a Nagae work? The build-up of emotion towards the taboo subject of the father-in-law feels natural. When I first saw Hotaru-san, I thought she was a "stiff and a little scary girl," but her toned physique was attractive. I thought she might be prone to gaining weight, but after about 6 years since her debut, her figure seems to have gotten even better. I'm impressed by her effort... This is a masterpiece, I acknowledge it.
My first impression was just "the nipples are insane." Close-up of her face shows some pimples on her cheek. The main story... a father-in-law who lost his son, a daughter-in-law who lost her husband. The story is about the daughter-in-law repaying her debt to the father-in-law, who adored her son (her husband), with her body, but it feels a bit lacking in coherence. The theme is "atonement," but the content feels more like a daughter-in-law sexually caring for a father-in-law who has become severely demented after losing his son. Rather than the title "Atonement," it's closer to the "Father-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law" of the existing Nagae series. The director is "Morikawa Kei," whom I personally don't know. Although it's the same title in the Nagae series, it's a different work from the works of Nagae, Fumiharu, and Tamaike Goro. Personally, if it were directed by Fumiharu, I might have given it a 4 or 5-star rating. ※ I'll skip the explicit scenes.
