I haven't had much time to relax and appreciate many JAV titles this year due to a busy work and life schedule. However, I did enjoy a few titles that were directed by Nao Misaki.
MIAB-276 featuring Riho Matsumoto showcases a powerful performance from both actresses, Rio Matsumoto and Mao Hamasaki. Riho-chan delivered an exceptional performance, perfectly conveying anger towards her friend Mao-chan for her betrayal, as well as displaying a striking expression during intense r*pe scenes. Her ability to shed tears and maintain teary eyes added a convincing trauma while being r*pe. Meanwhile, Mao Hamasaki brilliantly embodies the role of the psychotic friend who takes pleasure in both witnessing and engaging in the r*pe of her closest friend, Rio-chan. I like how she finds enjoyment in live streaming Riho-chan's humiliation during the assault. Furthermore, the atmosphere of the first and second scenes aligns well with the themes of r*pe and sexual violence towards Rio-chan, enhancing the overall effect. I recognize that the final scene is the weakest in terms of the portrayal of the r***, as it relies on common tropes used by AV studios. In this scene, Riho-chan breaks down from the trauma and finds a twisted pleasure in her humiliation and assault.

HMN-628 presents another beautiful woman, Riho-chan, enduring brutal r*** and sexual violence under the psychotic influence of Mao Misaki. This time, the narrative centers around Riho Fujimori. While the plot shares similarities with other stories involving organized revenge through humiliation. r*pe and sexual violence, I appreciate how Honnoka and Nao Misaki have reimagined the narrative. Instead of the typical jealousy story, where the antagonist feels threatened because the protagonist is marrying the guy she likes, HMN-628 introduces a fresh storyline. This time, it's about Mao-chan seeking revenge on her high school bully, Riho Fujimori. Now that Mao-chan has become an influencer and gained popularity, she invites several friends to help execute her revenge and have some fun at the expense of her former friend, Riho Fujimori.

Last on my list is the REAL-844 - I'm going to R*pe the entire family series. I'm a big fun of this series despite it has no storyline but the r*pe and sexual violence towards the girls and their mom are satisfying. Although, in this film Hibino Uta is quite frustrating because of her inconsistent acting, Sakura Kurumi and Minami Kozue did the job perfect well.
