RBD-751 - The receptionist who awakened her inner masochist

Nanami Kawakami, an office receptionist. Her friend, unsatisfied with her husband, has an affair with an SM-loving man (Taku Yoshimura), fights with her husband, and crashes at Nanami's place. While her father is away on business, the friend's affair partner shows up, restrains the friend, and rapes Nanami in front of her. Thus begins their three-way SM-lite lifestyle. Even after the friend leaves, the 'training' continues, and Nanami eventually becomes addicted to sex with the man. The 'training' is quite superficial, barely more than standard sex with an SM aesthetic. Nanami even goes to work braless with nipple clips as instructed, and the man eventually shows up to have sex with her in the company conference room. It feels less like she's a masochist and more like they're just a perverted couple. She gets slapped and asks him to 'put his cock in.' It's more of an awakening to perversion than to masochism.

*I bought this because it's a combination of my favorite actresses. I bought it and it was the right decision.

I haven't seen many of Kawakami-san's works, but... this one is hard to rate.

The play consists of fashion SM like wrist restraints, rose whips, and spanking, focusing more on psychological conditioning than physical torture. Normally, being attacked by a stranger would be too terrifying to enjoy, but this film adds credibility to the rapid descent into depravity by showing a best friend who has already fallen and is indulging in pleasure, providing both shock and a sense of relief. Ashina Yuria's performance as that friend—losing her mind while exposing her raw desires—was incredibly erotic; despite the short duration of the simulated sex, I couldn't help but finish at mach speed. I didn't think of her as a great actress, but this repressed character was a perfect fit. As a film, the ruinous ending—implying the man won't get away unscathed—cuts off the erotic lingering feeling, which is a bit disappointing, but since both Kawakami Nanami and Ashina Yuria had plenty of highlights, I give it 5 stars.

Kawakami Nanami-san, Ashina Yuria-san... both are great. Often when two stars collaborate, they end up overshadowing each other, but this works well because it's the two of them. It's well-made. Like someone mentioned in a review, the scene where they are restrained in chairs was good. A pretty solid production.
