ZOW-003 - Desperate Mom Trading Her Body for Her Son's School Admission

Finally, this series has brought in a big-name actress. Honestly, I think it would have been better with just Yu Kawakami. She ended up getting overshadowed. Still, as expected of a popular actress, her performance was great and she pulled it off perfectly. The latter part where she gets set up by the chairman is also quite enjoyable. It's definitely not a failure.

Too many cuts between scenes make it hard to watch. Yu-chan is better suited for hardcore play.

This series often suffers from poor chemistry with popular actresses, and unfortunately, this installment follows that same trend. First off, there's the harsh reality that Yu Kawakami just isn't cut out for a mother role. I tried my best to convince myself she was a woman with a child, but it was impossible. It’s rare to find an actress who looks so out of place in a grounded, everyday life setting. There’s a reason why, despite her popularity, she rarely even takes on stepmother roles. The sex scenes are also entirely in 'Yu Kawakami style,' making it impossible to see her as an amateur. Her masochistic performance is too professional, which is fatal because you can't feel the contrast of her descent. It doesn't feel like a woman being broken by men; it just feels like a masochistic performance because it's Yu Kawakami. If you're just a fan of the actress, it might be fine, but for fans of the series, I think it's hard to enjoy the true essence of what this series is supposed to be.
