Product Description
All the girls are excited by the new student - Azusa Odagiri, a model for a famous magazine. What they can't figure out is why he would want to be friends with Hatsumi - or even worse, find her attractive. Meanwhile, Hatsumi and her sister Akane are accosted by Mrs. Tachibana, followed by Ryouki, who reminds Hatsumi that if she forgets she is his slave, he will be happy to reminder her. Later, some of the girls corner Hatsumi to discourage her from pursuing him. Then Ryouki orders her to his apartment and tells her she must sleep with him. Ryouki is surprised when his "slave" punches him, but he's even more shocked when the doorbell rings and a pretty woman walks in.

What is with these characters? Trapped together in company housing, the hormones bouncing off of these teens seems to be corrupting them and driving them nuts! Ryoki is the 'master' of Hatsumi, and in spite of flashes of kindness still seems hell-bent on raping her. Good boy Azusa, on the other hand, reveals a darker, twisted side that seems determined to use and abuse Hatsumi, although she remains oblivious to this cruel streak. Hatsumi just doesn't seem to know what to make of any of it, so she's endearing but useless.

Yet I can't stop reading. I'm enjoying every minute of the soap opera histrionics.
