[JAV Review] Brainwashing Ring Series

 

I mentioned this series on passing in a previous post, and I think it's a good pick for a review since it has just two entries and they have some pretty significant differences.

Sennou Ring, or Brainwashing Ring, is a series by SOD, as most mind control JAV I'll be discussing in the future, really, both by a matter of taste - their directors tend to make the kind of mind control movies I enjoy -, and due to SOD being such a centralizing company in the current JAV market some accuse it of monopoly. But that discussion is neither here nor now.

The mind control aspect of this series, the titular Brainwashing Rings, are actually metal collars with a heart-shaped light attached to them that lights up when the collar is first activated, and are controlled via a controller app on the owner's smartphone. I have never seen collars referred to as rings in Japanese before, so no idea what's going on with that naming convention. Once attached, the collar "erodes" the victim's personality and puts them in a trance state ready to receive orders, but completely rewriting the conscious personality takes more work - what exactly differs between the two entries, so I'll go into specifics in the reviews proper. There's two states of control, a doll-like trance (which in the first move has blue eyes and is called "Blue of Puppet Training")  and the fully brainwashing, slave personality with red eyes ("Red of Obedient Slavery"). There are also other functions that I'll describe in more detail as they become relevant in the movies, as their usage diverges a bit between movies.

And now that the core concept has been explained, let's get into the specifics of each film.

Sennou Ring ni Shinshokusareteiku Konkatsu Josei-tachi "Watashi-tachi, Unmei no Danna-sama Goshujin-sama ni Deaemashita"

The Marriage-seeking Women Corrupted by the Brainwashing Ring "We Met Our Predestined Husband Master"
Production Number/"JAV code": SDDE-671
Release date: 2022/04/21
Maker: SOD Create
Label: SENZ
Director: Dazai Chinpo (太宰珍歩)
Actresses: Yuuki Nono (結城のの), (Kobayakawa Reiko (小早川怜子), Misono Waka (美園和花)
Runtime: 125 minutes

The JAV opens with two office ladies working, played by Yuuki Nono (who I learned while working on this post has since retired from JAV to work as a regular talent, a jump not many can make. Good for her!) and Misono Waka. Like most JAV, the characters share their actresses' names, so unless I specify I'm talking about the actress, I'm referring to the character. Hopefully, that doesn't get confusing.

The focus of this first part is squarely on Nono, who is the main female lead, or rather, the main target of the soon-to-be-introduced male protagonist. While she works, she thinks about how from a young age she adopted a mentality that women can succeed in the workplace not just as well as men, but better, and with that mindset she applied to a first-rate company and has been outdoing her male co-workers for a while. She also admires her senpai, Waka, for also being a high-ranking woman in the company, but Waka doesn't share Nono's distaste for men and in fact, wants to marry. However, her standards are high (she wants someone of a higher social standing than her, nice, from a good family, etc), and from Nono's very biased and sapphic perspective, Waka is a goddess and there must be almost no men worthy of her, aside from a few CEOs out there. At the same time, she also thinks to herself that if she was born a man, she would definitely be able to make Waka happy. Of course, given the kind of porn this is, Waka is going to get knocked down a peg from her lofty ambitions and Nono is going to get a bit of a paradigm shift, so to say.

Nono (left) and Waka (right)

Waka frequently participates in activities and services meant to introduce people who want to marry, a very East Asian thing as far as I know that sometimes raises some eyebrows in the West. I really don't find it too dissimilar from using dating apps to search for partners, just with another focus. Nono accompanies Waka in many of those, as is not uncommon to attend such things in group, even though she obviously has no intention of getting married. This is what leads them to Kobayakawa Reiko, who works at a company that offers this kind of matchmaking service, and she's able to quickly discern what kind of image they want to send out to potential suitors. However, while they were there, Waka and Nono caught the eye of Watanabe, a member of the board of directors of the matchmaking service's parent company, who forces Reiko's hand into arranging a meeting between him and the two women, much to her dismay. It goes as well as you'd expect, with the two women laughing off Watanabe's attempts at flirting and leaving after verbally humiliating him.

The old man returns the next day to Reiko's meeting room and says that she'll become a sacrifice for him to get those women back, taking a Brainwashing Ring out of his bag and clasping it around her neck. Reiko is first forced to stay awake but unable to move her body while Watanabe explores it with his hands and tongue. Reiko Kobayakawa is a great erotic actress and has lots of experience with mind-control movies, so she's able to sell the idea she can't move very well by combining stiff body language and very wide-eyed, slightly exaggerated expressions. When Watanabe switches gears to the Puppet Training mode, her expressionless act is also flawless, only showing reactions when it's appropriate, like when Watanabe turns the character's tongue into a second clitoris and stimulates it with his fingers and later penis. The shots of Reiko with her mouth agape and drool trailing off her tongue when he takes her from behind are just great.

Reiko's training scene is pretty lengthy and involves more than just these 4 positions, but these get the idea across

Then it goes to the usual song and dance of, after playing/training Reiko enough, Watanabe reawakens her consciousness just to tell her that her brainwashing will be complete when he cums inside her, much to her despair. As you might have noticed, this is all standard fare for mind control JAV, and there's nothing so far that makes the use of the titular Brainwashing Ring special or any different from countless mind control app stories or even SOD's own Sennou Drill series. This first one does play things safer, but it gets more interesting when we get to Waka. So I'll fast forward to that.

Waka is tricked by Reiko (who now wears heavy makeup and a much sexier office lady outfit) into reluctantly putting on the collar herself, after Reiko vomits a speech about its technology helping measure a series of things about the wearer and provide data for better matching up in the future, in a very fast and monotone way. It's pretty stupid in a funny way, and once again Kobayakawa kills it with the "robot" acting.

When Watanabe arrives, we see Reiko perk up  (we see throughout the movie that a mindless, expressionless state is the "idle" state of the brainwashed slaves when they're not in the presence of their master, and the monotone, robotic way she was acting is how they follow instructions while idling) and go back into her "onahole Reiko" personality established when her brainwashing was concluded in the previous scene, very polite towards Watanabe, very eager and always begging for rewards and attention, but also never questioning his dismissals or orders to wait, just a slave who knows her place and fulfills her master's wishes with a smile on her face. Beautiful thing to see.

And I said that things get more interesting because, while Waka is in puppet mode, Reiko helps Watanabe "puppeteer" her around. Reiko undresses her, Reiko makes her lower herself and get up as Watanabe demands, Reiko even moves Waka's head during the blowjob scene and helps her body keep the bouncing rhythm. Reiko knows exactly how her master likes it and she's helping ingrain that in the new girl's training.

There's something deliciously twisted about having brainwashed slaves help train the new targets that I just can't get enough of

Waka's consciousness is still woken up for the final stretch when Watanabe cums inside her, and awakens her new slave personality as well. Also, during this scene we learn that Watanabe's main target is Nono, and Waka was just a stepping stone, but now that he got a go with her he decided she's a pretty good woman and worth keeping as a pet too. Good for her..?

Since I gushed about Kobayakawa Reiko's acting a lot, I'd be remiss to not mention Misono Waka also does a really good job, particularly in the mindless scenes. And if this sounds like faint praise ("oh, she's good at playing an empty doll, such good acting lmao"), it's not. It's hard to actually get the mindless, "lights are on but no one's home" act well, as anyone who watched enough mind-control porn (or even mind-control scenes in regular stuff) can easily attest. So props to her. Her acting falters in that her character's slave personality lacks the maniacal devotion Reiko conveys (Waka's range seems more limited), despite being supposed to. So when they're together on the same scene trying to butter the main lead up, the gap between them becomes really apparent.

Back to the movie, now that Waka is also under his control Watanabe moves in for the kill, first sending her to work (dressed in a really hot outfit) and dropping by later, acting very lovey-dovey and having Waka call him "master" under Nono's earshot. She also says that they were wrong about marriage consultation, that it wasn't meant for them to be picky about their partners, but for women like them to be chosen as merchandise. Here's the payoff for her high standards.

There's also a blowjob and paizuri scene in this part as Waka extracts the "sauce" to season her lunch with. She later erotically eats the cum-covered sausages in front of Nono. This JAV has these little moments I just find hilarious.

Obviously disturbed by what happened, Nono follows Waka and finds she and Reiko servicing Watanabe wearing the clothes on the movie's cover. She tries to call the police but Reiko pins her from the back while Waka snaps the Brainwashing Ring around her neck.

After rewarding his two slaves for their good work with a little kissy, it's time to work on Nono. There's the standard "your tongue is as sensitive as your clitolis" scene all the girls got, but then we get something more unique. Using the phone app that controls the collars, Watanabe transfers Nono's mind to Reiko's body so she can watch him play around with her body. Kobayakawa gets to display some more of her range by mimicking Yuuki Nono's mannerisms and voice tone, it's pretty fun. Pretty interesting scene, but also sort of goes nowhere after this, as the training resumes as normal. Keep a pin on that for the next part of the review.

It's still a good training scene, with both Reiko and Waka assisting Watanabe

Brainwashing Ring does a really good job of building up Nono's character, so it's incredibly satisfying to see her finally fall and become a lowly slave along with the other two. The closing scenes of the movie aren't anything out of the ordinary - four-way kisses, triple blowjobs, body worship and "one girl gets fucked, the others kiss and lick the guy's nipples" stuff, with every girl getting her turn but the focus being Nono, of course. So while not my favorite scene of the movie by a long shot, the sense of satisfaction it left me with helps elevate it. Lots of mind control JAV like to throw shitty twists right at the end and while that doesn't sour the experience, it can be eye-rolling. So it's nice watching one just wind down with a victory lap after the main target has finally been conquered.

If I have to point out a fault in the last third of the movie is that Nono's crush on Waka should have been brought to the forefront at some point to really twist the knife. I feel more could have been done to both drive in her despair and to further accentuate her change once she gives in. There is an attempt at that, as Nono keeps crying out for Waka when she's conscious in her training scene (and Waka is the one to collar her and later, at Watanabe's request, the one to use the collar's control to briefly give Nono's her mind back before it's gone forever), but that just reinforces my opinion that they could have done more with it. Still, in the greater scope of the picture, it doesn't really matter, as the focus is on Nono's fall.

All in all a really good mind-control movie that I appreciate even more after a rewatch. I'll say right now this is the better of the two, both in quality of content and, at least in my opinion, choice of actresses. If you're looking for a recommendation of a good mind-control JAV to watch, this is it.

Pros:

• Tight script with setups and payoffs, the girls' respective training scenes feel consistent without feeling repetitive.
• Good sex scenes all around, but especially good group sex scenes
• Good acting from all 3 actresses helps sell all stages of the brainwashing proccess
• Excellent use of costume, makeup and acting to make sure the characters give a different impression before and after their brainwashing

Cons:

• Lighting and camera placement can make some of said excellent costumes harder to appreciate before they come off. The "corrupted OL" looks in particular suffer from this. And yes this is horribly biased.
• They could have done more with Nono's feelings for Waka
• The step-by-step of the training is pretty standard SOD mind control fare, and that can be a turn off to some.

Score: 9/10

Comiket haul, JAV schizo ramblings and what Eroge I'll cover next.

 Happy New Year everybody.

Today I want to highlight some doujin that came out in the last Winter Comiket, as well as talk about the next series of posts I'm planning on doing.

Winter Comiket 2023 (C103)

I don't live in Japan, so my access to Comiked is rather limited. Nowadays, a lot of stuff comes out simultaneously in digital form, and if I can, I support the artists I like. If I can't or if there's no digital version, I depend on some good soul scanning the works and uploading them. It's been only a couple of days, so there's probably stuff under my umbrella of interests that I'm not even aware exists yet due to not being uploaded and me not following the artist as closely as I follow some others.

Still, here's a brief summation of the stuff I got my hands on so far.

[Asanagi] Kijouin-sensei no Eromanga Nou

Asanagi jokingly described his upcoming doujin as a "pure love" one, and after reading, I get what he means. This is a mind break manga but it's much lighter than the usual for Asanagi. The characters are eromanga artists, with the titular Kijouin being a female manga artist who draws hardcore works. The protagonist is a veteran who is now experiencing a decline in his career, and is immensely annoyed by Kijouin's success as her work is heavily inspired (and he suspects, traced from) his own. In a party with fellow manga artists she gets drunk and, after a bit of matchmaking by another mangaka named Nanami, they end up going home together. However, the protagonist (I forgot his name. Every character having a real name and a pen name doesn't help) has noticed that Kijouin isn't actually drunk and is just fooling around with him, and already pissed from the work situation, loses it and slaps her. And of course, Kijouin is a huge masochist. From there things escalate to rape and mindbreak, with Kijouin becoming his willing onahole by the end of it. Kijouin has been drawing manga for just 2 years (while the protagonist has been in the business for over 10 years) and before that she was a cosplayer. When pressed about whether she even liked his stuff, a flashback does show that she found his manga when she was in middle school and became a complete masturbation addict, with her interest in cosplay coming from wanting to dress like his characters to masturbate. After that point, she does a lot of erotic cosplay amateur porn with him. It's all really good stuff, both the mindbreak scene at the start and the lewd costplay in the second half. The main leads relationship leans more towards consensual BDSM than the usual cruelty in Asanagi works, but it's still nice. Seeing Kijouin change from a manipulative and cheeky slut to a sex slave is also great. By the end she's even suggesting raping and enslaving a cosplayer friend of hers too, who in the last few pages is revealed to watch Kijouin's porn videos while masturbating. It seems the cycle is perpetuating itself at its point, as is the nature of females in Asanagi's work.

Asanagi doing what he does best

[Neromashin] Omae no Kaa-chan Ikutoki no Kao Sugee Busu da zo w 2

A sequel to his work from the Summer Comiket. Like the first, it's about a gang of ugly shotas sexually training a MILF until she breaks and becomes a depraved sex slave. There was also a dash of NTR in it, Mom NTR more specifically, as the ugly kids are targeting Yukie, the mom of a meek boy named Yuuto. By the end, Yukie is a complete wreck without any dignity left, and the bullies made a deal with Yuuto: if he brings them another hot woman, they'll let him fuck his mom. And lo and behold, the first chapter ended with Yuuto bringing his grandma (on his father's side, therefore Yukie's mother-in-law) Fumiko home.

This second chapter is all about the training of Fumiko as well as Yuuto getting his reward. As usual with Neromashin, the heroines get degraded really hard. They're also on the meatier side, which may not be to everyone's taste, but to me it compliments the mature figure very well. The ahegao and other orgasm expressions are very extreme (the title of the series translates as something like "Yo mama's orgasm face is fucking ugly, lol"), and, since this is Neromashin, there's a bit of scat. It's like he has some sort of contract with a cosmic entity that he needs to draw at least one page of scat in everything he does. But as usual, it's just that one page.

The whole book is sex, nothing really to talk about as far as plot and character goes: it's just two milfs becoming sex-crazed sluts. By the end, both are swearing to become Yuuto's cumdumps.

Worth noting that this isn't the end of the series. On the last page, Yukie's husband, who's working away from home, receives a message from his wife, and when he checks it, it's just a photo of Fumiko (who again, is his mom) getting bukkake'd while doing a peace sign ahegao, along with a "To be Continued". I'm curious to see where this goes, and how much lower Yukie and Fumiko can go. Neromashin isn't afraid of utterly destroying his girls, so I'm looking forward to the sequel (hopefully) next Comiket.

[Chouzetsu Bishoujo mine] Gehenna no Meushi

While the last two were original works, this one is a doujin based on an IP: Blue Archive. There's a lot of Blue Archive doujins this Comiket, the game is really surging in popularity, which makes me happy since I like it a lot (though I haven't touched it in a few months...). If you ever thought the game may be interested but the fact it's a gacha drove you away, don't worry, what really matters is the story content and they're completely separate from gacha stuff, sorta like Priconne. But I'm not here to evangelize about Blue Archive, I'm here to talk about this lactation doujin.

I'm not familiar with the artist and circle, but a cursory look through their previous work seems to indicate lactation is a common theme with them, so I'll definitely keep an eye from now on. With a title that translates as "Gehenna's Cow" (Gehenna being one of the factions in Blue Archiv- ok you don't care), this doujin features Amau Ako, a serious and efficient student council girl who suddenly starts lactating, blames supplements Sensei gave her as a g as the cause, and once it's proven it had nothing to do with it, he takes advantage of the situation to milk her.

Some classify this doujin as mind break and some do not, it doesn't really matter, it still goes pretty hard with Ako trying to deny and resist Sensei teasing her tits but succumbing to the pleasure of being milked and fucked. What caught my attention here is how good the expressions are, coupled with lactation it made for a very hot and still fairly hardcore doujin even if strictly speaking it isn't mind break or corruption (I still count it as sexual training though).

I got some other BluAka doujins this Comiket but they're more on the vanilla side of things, so I won't get into it.

Some other things

Not released on Comiket (it's a commercial work) but still released around this date was Fukuyama Naoto's Ore Isekai de Mahoutsukai ni Naru 5, the final chapter of a series (also known as "I became a Mage in another world", released English by *sigh* Irodori) I honestly considered abandoned at this point. With over 70 pages, this is the conclusion to the series and while I have not had the time to read it yet, it seems the usual for Fukuyama - the last resistance of the girls getting eroded and then a lot of harem sex, topped by pregnancy. This series made use of the protagonist's ability to carve Lust Crests on the bodies of the heroines to make them hornier and more obedient to him, and the previous chapters were pretty good. It's also Oyakodon, as it starts with two girls and then their mothers join the fray. This will probably be officially translated and released since the previous 4 chapters were.

Finally, the thing I was looking forward the most this Comiket I have yet to read. Kegareboshi no Kakeratachi, the epilogue to Satou Kuuki's Kegareboshi series (and also the name of the tankobon it comes in, collecting the Kegareboshi and Netokano series) which I have already reviewed, released only with physical copies, with a digital release promised to "somewhere in January or February", but nothing official yet. Since the chapter only exists as part of the tankobon, it may take a good while for it to be scanned, if at all. So all I can do is wait for a hero to upload it, or for the digital version to actually release. As a silver lining, a PV promoting the new chapter was made, showing off several scenes, and it really seems to be what I wanted - more of Ibuki's perspective on her new life, showcasing more of her slutty new self, a few months after she became Kurozuka's slave. The PV can be watched on Melonbooks, and below are some screencaps.

A JAV I'm interested in coming... Sometime, maybe.

I don't know how the JAV industry works, but sometimes works get announced months ahead of time and other times, they just show up, like it happened with Sennou Drill Motorshow Campaign Girl Hen, recently reviewed here on Dorei Cafe. And it usually takes months between filming and it actually being released.

So that's why I say there's a JAV of interest coming... Soon, probably. A few months ago, the pictures below were posted on the Twitter accounts of several actresses (Ayase Maina, Nonose Ai, Arisu Mai and Mizuhata Asami), and it's obviously from the shooting of a mind control JAV by SOD. My guess is that it's a third installment of the Sennou Ring series, but I could be, as I often am, wrong. Either way, I'm really looking forward to it. The actresses are really hot and I like the choice of slave clothing. One of the performers mentioned that it would be available in around 4 months. That would mean either late January or (most likely), February. Once there's more news I may report on it, or take the opportunity to talk about the series it turns out to be a part of as a whole (if it's part of a series at all, SOD does some one-off mind control JAV every once in a while and they tend to be among their best). Time will tell, for now check out the pics and a comparison to Sennou Ring.
