START-394 - Comeback nude gravure NTR. A former idol at the peak of her popularity retired, and overflows with wet heat and transparent fluids in front of a younger actor about a year younger. Natsume Hibiki.

It didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the packaging photo.

Her makeup, hair, and outfit were all flawless. That erotic body, the fellatio, and the vacant expression… chef's kiss! But the initial scenes with her husband and the final scene with Tony (both involving rear entry…) felt unnecessary. I would've preferred a forbidden encounter with the model (cumshot). The finale should've been a 3P with Tony and the model, complete with deepthroat and osage!

Okay, the cover art alone sold me. Seriously, an instant buy. As for the content? Absolutely loved it. She's got that perfect face you'd expect from a former idol, and the cleavage is *stunning*. Huge props to the lead, Natsume Hyō! She's flustered by increasingly wild requests but gives in anyway… and watching her transform from a pure, innocent wife into a seductive woman is just… wow. You'd want to take her too, honestly! Natsume Hyō's teary-eyed expressions were amazing. I'll say it again: the cover art is incredible. Highly recommend picking up the DVD!

I gotta say, Natsume's acting was fantastic, and the guy playing the husband was great too. I also appreciated the narration adding emotional depth. Now, about the scenes themselves… I wish the order had been 1 > 2 > 3, considering the reactions and situations. I especially wanted to see a more intense interaction with Sayase, the young actor playing the actor role. And honestly, the final scene with Ōki felt a bit random. Maybe they could've brought Sayase back in for a 3P? Or even had the jealous husband storm out, go to an adult shop, buy a vibrator and massager, and then come home and just *destroy* her? Her reactions and the overall drama were so good, it's a shame the ending fell a little flat.

After watching, I realized the meaning behind the title. The performances by the former idol and her ex-manager couple were excellent, and the atmosphere of a stale marriage was well-portrayed, drawing me in from the start. Starting with a good flow, Haruka-san's fantastic acting and TECH-san's anxious and intrusive performances all contributed to a great vibe. The scenes with Frankfurt Rin-san evoked a feeling of 'emotional infidelity'. This beautifully supported Haruka-san's feelings towards Rin-san and the circumstances of Rin-san's role, which were later revealed. The sex scene, a 'revenge affair' fueled by the husband's uncontrollable jealousy stemming from the 'emotional affair', was brilliantly directed. Then, a series of schemes led to a re-shoot with Rin-san, escalating into a more intense scene. The husband's anger leads to him being asked to leave, and a 'physical affair' unfolds before the bare minimum crew. The shoot wraps up smoothly, and we see the wife, Haruka-san, grappling with the news of her husband's distress. Tony Ooki, their former boss, offers comfort, leading to a scene of Haruka-san's inner turmoil. This is where the malicious plot hinted at in the ending is revealed, suggesting a dark side to the entertainment industry. With a runtime of about two hours, I thought this could be a satisfying conclusion. But I daydreamed about what could have been – if there was one more scene, a passionate encounter where Haruka-san's feelings for her husband overflowed, it could have been the ultimate masterpiece of infidelity and revenge. But that didn't happen. Instead, a sex scene with the former boss destroys the drama, closing off the path to greatness. And the ending analogy was just bad (scapegoat, pawn, human pillar, sacrifice… human offering would be more accurate… 'scapegoat' is too much). The final affair ruined the good balance of infidelity and revenge, and the direction of the work collapses. I just keep asking myself, 'Why this script?' It's a shame, especially since Haruka-san with her beautiful black hair was so alluring. However, the performances were outstanding, so I'll rate the work as a 5-star, but the drama itself is a 4-star, so I'll give it a 5-star leaning towards 4.
