NSFS-315 - New・Atonement 14 ~Falling into the Trap of Guilt…~ Matsumoto Riho

Matsumoto Riho's makeup was way too heavy this time! It doesn't feel like makeup suitable for a woman wearing mourning clothes and 'atoning' for her sins... I can definitely see a resemblance to Sayaka Isoyama, but because of the heavy makeup, depending on the angle, she sometimes looked like Akiko Matsumoto... which feels a bit disrespectful to Akiko, honestly? She used to play Kimura Takuya's love interest and even star in dramas... Isn't this the first time we've seen a pattern where the 'atoning' wife is allowed to stay overnight...? It feels like this situation was brought about by Riho's convenient desire to soothe her guilt by pretending to atone... The not-too-violent rejection acting was right up my alley. The acting after she starts to open up is where Matsumoto Riho really shines... though, I caught glimpses of 'Matsumoto Akiko' in that scene... The bathroom scene is great, but it's right after a scene that was basically r●pe-adjacent sex, so Riho's expression change feels too abrupt and disconnected! If there was another sex scene between those two, it would have flowed more smoothly... The ending is similar to Haruka Katsuragi's '11,' but it's a punishment inflicted because the man being 'atoned for' has a rotten core... Ugh, he doesn't even seem to feel grief over the death of his family, yet he's capable of doing something so awful! It's pointless to get angry at fiction, but... It's 'self-inflicted harm' for the husband, but maybe for Riho too...

Good acting. The cheating play without the 'iku-iku' sounds was really good. I really liked that it was all face shots with cleanup. It wasn't a nonsensical transition from rubber bondage to doggy style, so it was really good.

I highly recommend the scene where they get tangled up in the bathroom midway through! The pheromones practically burst through the screen, making you want to dive into the video – it's 200% erotic. This is the best of Rihō Matsumoto's work. Seriously, you HAVE to see it!

Riho shows so many different expressions – crying, laughing, being surprised. The quality is above and beyond what you'd expect from an AV actress. Her lines are delivered well, and there's just something subtly erotic about her. Even the scenes where she's resisting are powerful, and her curvy figure just adds to the sexiness. This series has a lot of conflict, so the acting must be difficult. If it fits well, that much more eroticism is added. I think Riho suits Nagae-style works, so I'd love for her to be exclusive to them. If that's not possible, I wish she'd release works occasionally. You can really feel her experience.

The contrast really highlighted how wooden the male actor's performance was. Also, there's a line about 'paying compensation forever,' which made me wonder if someone who can barely be supported by a stay-at-home spouse is living without insurance? It felt a bit odd.
