During the last summer vacation of their high school lives, Akira Takizawa, Michio Oshima, and Osamu Kobayashi, who still haven't decided on their future careers, gather in a classroom to take supplementary lessons. Natsuko Izumi appears there, who has just been assigned to the new position due to the homeroom teacher being on maternity leave. Natsuko, who coolly and dispassionately serves as the substitute teacher, has a past in which she had to keep her distance from her students. Meanwhile, Akira was forced to repeat the year after committing a violent act to save his classmate Shiho Matsuyama from being raped by the head teacher Yamashita. One day, Yamashita accidentally finds out about Natsuko's past, and he threatens her, relentlessly playing with and abusing her. Having caught a glimpse of their relationship, Akira is confused but is drawn to Natsuko. Shiho is also heartbroken by her feelings for Akira. However, Yamashita's plan is carried out once again...

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
