RCTD-297 - Perverted Manipulator: Office Edition

I felt the story could have been simpler. I read the synopsis so I kind of got it, but it's hard to follow just by watching. Also, the audio quality is poor; the dialogue isn't clear. You have to turn the volume up quite a bit, which is inconvenient if you're trying to watch secretly (lol). There are whispers that are even harder to hear. I did like that it features dialogue you don't usually hear. Overall, it drags a lot and lacks a real climax, but if you like the process of someone slowly undressing, you might enjoy it. There's no real excitement until halfway through. They are naked, but they're just weighing themselves or holding a company meeting, so it's not exactly arousing. The eroticism really kicks in when she gets on the office desk and pees. The surrounding employees act quite well, looking genuinely distressed—they clearly hired good actors. However, the acting is so serious that it loses the lightness of an AV and feels like a full-blown drama, which felt a bit overproduced. AVs should be lighter. That said, it's a plus that you get to see the actress's full body often. It's hot seeing her naked in a normal office, but there's not enough actual intercourse. The sex scenes only start in the last 30 minutes. Aside from the sex, the actresses perform well in their solo scenes; it's almost stage-worthy. The delivery is great, and they must have cast some of the better actors. It reaches a level where it can be watched as a drama, separate from the eroticism. It's a polarizing work.

It's not perfect, but the ending was so ideal that I was shaking from the shock. The charm of hypnosis content lies in the final payoff: using hypnosis to rewrite common sense, forcing them to make choices that would ruin their lives, and making them happily perform irreversible acts. Plus, not showing the final scene and leaving it to the imagination is brilliant. The way she hypnotizes the OL client to reject the bakery job—the only place that understood her—and orders her to walk the streets naked to get scouted by a perverted shop makes you imagine she'd get raped before being scouted. Then, the female boss, who said she couldn't give birth to a child from an unknown man, is hypnotized into happily raising the child. She even tells the protagonist that if he's looking for a job, he should walk around naked shouting 'cock!' to get scouted immediately. I hope this becomes a series. Please.

*This is a bit of a wasteful work using Satomi Suzuki. Furthermore, even though the manipulator is Kanae Lennon, this usage is really disappointing! Since Aine Kagura is on the side of revenge, I think it would be okay to just have a humiliating scene where she is bullied. I wanted revenge on Satomi Suzuki to be more erotic.

*It was exactly the kind of story I wanted to see, about a woman being manipulated. I was excited by the power to bend an individual's will.

The jacket cover shows the target being controlled in front of the client, but that's not actually depicted in the film—they just report back later saying 'this is how it went.' I think they really need to show her being humiliated in front of the client. They claim there are five different control items, but they all have the same effect, so there's no point in choosing between them. Even when the control is lifted, her reaction is flat, and it's a waste to have her wondering 'Why? Why?' when she's all alone. She should be making a huge scene, feeling ashamed and making excuses in front of her subordinates.
