QX-205 Slave Human: Rieko Shihishi

As the title suggests, it’s a tribute to classic SM novels. However, the attention to detail—from the setting to the costumes—is something that’s hard to replicate today. On the other hand, the characters are treated like livestock, with them being forced to perform sexual acts under pressure. The scenes where they’re subjected to brutal treatment by those wearing gas masks are truly disturbing. There’s also the use of obscene devices during the scenes, along with rubber suits that cover their faces. It’s a very intense and harsh story. But what makes it stand out is that even the non-protagonists show emotions, which makes it easy for people to get involved in the story. The only comforting moment in the story is the last scene, where there’s some tenderness in it.
