Summary: 4 Stars
The budding relationship between Takuya and Satsuki seems normal enough. Takuya, smitten by the beautiful girl, joins the kendo club in order to get closer to the one he loves, even becoming her personal workout partner a role in which he suffers several smacks upside the head with a practice sword. However, it seems that Takuya's affection will remain unreciprocated because Takuya considers the long-haired Satsuki out of his reach. Yet when Takuya's best friend asks him to give Satsuki a love letter, a letter he had used on another girl a short time before, Satsuki lets her disappoint be known that she would have preferred to have received a letter from Takuya.
Elated by these words, Takuya begins his relationship with the girl of his dreams. They spend their days riding together on Takuya's bike and playing video games. However, one day, when Takuya stays home from school because of a cold, Satsuki visits him and they sleep together for the first time. While this is Satsuki's first sexual experience with Takuya, Takuya has found a number of ways to be "intimate" with Satsuki without her being present. After discovering that his locker key could also open Satsuki's, Takuya indulged his desires by smelling Satsuki's gym shorts and collecting other odds and ends such as used chapstick and tissues. Takuya also has a number of clandestine photos of Satsuki and even goes as far as to record an audio tape of his girlfriend urinating.
Takuya, of course, keeps all of this a secret from his girlfriend, but after discovering one of her socks under Takuya's sheets; Satsuki discovers Takuya's other memorabilia as well. Totally freaked out by the experience, Satsuki does her best to avoid Takuya but he pursues her recently. In order to make Takuya jealous Satsuki begins dating Uematsu, the former couple's senior classman in the kendo club; however, instead of ceasing his pursuit, Takuya continues to follow Satsuki and tells her that he wants to be her dog and that he will do anything for her. Scared of Takuya's ways at first, Satsuki eventually enjoys tormenting the young man her favorite method being to hide Takuya away, sometimes with his hands tied behind his back, where he can watch her make love with Uematsu. This wicked game continues throughout the film.
Taking the mundane high school love drama and giving it a fetishized edge, Shiota's film explores the developing sexuality of two young people who do not fit the average, or what is perceived to be average, mold of young love. There are some quite tender moments such as Takuya's and Satsuki's first sexual encounter, but the most fascinating aspect of the film is Satsuki's discovery of her own sexuality. Desiring to have a normal relationship, Satsuki's discovery that she is a bit of a sadist disturbs her. Numerous times throughout the film, such as when she forces Takuya to lick the sweat of her body, she literally breaks down in varying degrees. An interesting film, but definitely not one for family movie night, hehe.
