A pathetic husband, unable to satisfy his wife, forces her to sleep with a stud while he watches the whole scene.




















The concept is the ultimate scenario—watching your wife get stolen—but there are way too few voyeuristic angles! I don't need to see the husband panting! Most of the shots are just side-angles or close-ups of the action. This is just a regular AV... Even if it's hard to see, it needs to be from the husband's POV, or it's just not exciting!
Both are beautiful and the scenes are reasonably erotic, but something is missing. To put it simply, it lacks 'sexiness.' The actresses are gorgeous and the scenes aren't bad, but it just doesn't hit the mark. Both involve the husband-approved cuckold trope, but Mary-san chooses her partners from a list after consulting her husband, whereas Mao-san was already cheating. Mary-san is with Somejima-san and Taiho-san, but there's no 3P; she's blindfolded and takes them one by one, ending with Taiho-san, whom she liked best. Mao-san is only with Sueto-san. Neither Taiho-san nor Sueto-san's style of interaction suited my taste—honestly, I would have preferred if they were the ones being cuckolded. But beyond that, the biggest issue is the simple 'husband-approved' premise. If it's approved, they should have added some spice—like forbidding kissing or oral sex and then watching those rules get broken, or having the husband and the lover secretly working together while the wife is oblivious. The lack of narrative depth is what makes it feel so underwhelming.
I really respect Nagae's work, but can we please do something about the over-the-top foot fetish direction and the bad habit of making them call the penis a 'rod' (sao)? It ruins an otherwise great production. 'Rod'... it's just too much. It completely destroys the realism that Nagae usually brings to his work.
