Jukujo Shigan

Masaru lives at home while preparing for university entrance exams, having failed them twice before. He grapples with the intense desires of his age. A beautiful older woman named Shizue becomes his new neighbour. They encounter each other frequently around town, where she offers him kind smiles. He develops a deep infatuation for her and indulges in fantasies. While studying alone one evening, he notices light and the sound of laboured breathing coming from her adjacent window. Overcome by curiosity, he leaves his house and approaches to look inside. He observes Shizue in a compromised state, restrained and mistreated by her husband.
