Plot:	After Kiyoshi rescues Makoto from several near-rapes, the two begin a very troubled relationship, which eventually winds up with Makoto becoming pregnant and the two of them resorting to extortion as a living.

Overview:	Makoto and Kiyoshi's generation follows their desires. She's in high school when a university student, Kiyoshi, rescues her from an older man's assault. The next day he takes her out, is alternately cruel and tender, insists roughly on sex, and then discards her. A week later she calls him; waiting for him at a bar, two pimps accost her. Again Kiyoshi rescues her, and their affair begins in earnest. She moves in with him, continues school, and they support themselves by extorting money from men who offer her a ride and then make a pass: Kiyoshi shows up to beat them. Things are semi-OK until pregnancy and a short stay in jail change their relationship. Courtesty of Jack Hailey, a Friend of HKFlix.com.
