RBK-123 - Captured Female Detective: We Will Absolutely Not Lose!

Hayama Sayuri's investigator character just gives up way too easily, like in a typical AV scene, just repeating 'No, stop, that's enough' with zero investigator vibe. The 2-on-2 scenes with different partners are pretty repetitive too. Hayama ends up getting sold off and becoming a soapland hostess. Whatever happened to Ikeda Naomi, who had even less of an investigator presence than Hayama?

Personally, I'm not a fan of toy play, so I would've preferred the 2-on-2 scene without the toys. And I wanted to see Ikeda in the final sex scene instead of Hayama.

Here's how it goes: ① Wakaba, Shizuka's trainee, infiltrates the enemy hideout but gets caught by the corrupt president and executives. ↓ ② Shizuka tries to rescue her, but Wakaba is taken hostage, and the rescue fails, resulting in both of them being captured. ↓ ③ They both undergo 'appraisal' – basically training – to be sold off. ↓ ④ Wakaba becomes a toy and hostage for the bosses, while Shizuka is sold to customers. Shizuka participates in scenes ②, ③, and ④, while Wakaba only participates in scenes ① and ③. (What I liked) ・ The story and structure are fantastic. ・ As the title suggests, they don't give in to the enemy easily and put up a fight. ・ When they seem to succumb in scene ③, the fact that no drugs are used makes their descent feel gradual and satisfying. ・ The enemy bosses and executives are played by middle-aged actors, which really sells the power dynamic. Younger actors would feel more like underlings. (What could be improved) ・ It's hard to tell their real ages, but Shizuka, who seems like the junior, looks older than Wakaba, the senior. Maybe they should have switched that around. ・ Scene ④ ends with Shizuka's scene, but it would have been more impactful if there was even a brief scene of Wakaba being used as a toy by the bosses or executives near the end. (Hopes for the sequel) I'd love to see a continuation of this story, or maybe with some younger actresses. But please, keep the no-drugs route! There are a lot of investigator-themed works out there, but most of them have the characters fall too easily with the use of drugs, so you can't enjoy the process of a strong-willed investigator succumbing. Hoping for a series or sequel!
