In-Depth Analysis
This short film is a part of the Pornographer film franchise. The adaptation of the franchise is from a famous manga Pornographer by Marukido Maki. The film serves as a capstone for these two lovers who have come a long way in their lives. They discuss their limited communication to letters for the past two years. Rio refuses to use email or phone conversations, insisting that he enjoys the presence of the letters. The rural scenario devolves into comedy because of Rio’s over-the-top reaction, as with any great romance. They give in to the sexual tension that has been building between them since the last time they had any physical interaction two years ago. The short film concludes on a lighter note, assuring that the couple will continue to cherish one other in their ways.
