Hot Wet Summer: Angels and Devils

Milk the Maid, Mototsugu Watanabe, 2013, 60 mins

Milk the Maid is not, despite its mischievous title, a ‘Pink’ film centred on a lactating maid, but rather a Pink film centred on a maid called Milk. Directed by Mototsugu Watanabe (Whore Angels, The Succulent Succubus) and starring the curvaceous adult actress Tia AKA Tia Bejean (The Superbody Investigators, Violated Cabin Attendant, Tia is my Girlfriend). Milk is a funny and erotic example of Pink Cinema at its best.

Here, a woman meets the strange and childlike Tia at a temple and brings her home to serve her husband and troubled family as a maid. When she first arrives the family think that Milk is insane as she dresses like a lunatic, eats raw fish and claims to be a ‘baby angel’ who needs to perform some good deeds before she can get her wings, which, this being a Pink film, involves lots of naked flesh and sex that soon begins to heal the families wounds.

My Hero, Chihiro stars the beautiful Rin Sakuragi (Body Temperature) as Chihiro, a bored housewife who learns the hard way the meaning of the expression ‘Be careful what you wish for’ when one day she wishes that the world would disappear. Unluckily for Chihiro God hears her and, arriving in the form of a pretty girl in a blue dress, tells Chihiro that she will make Japan vanish unless she can complete one task; to become the country’s top Idol! Luckily, God’s long-standing arch-enemy the Devil arrives to sort out the mess!

Directed by Motosugu Watanabe (Whore Angels, Sexy Battle Girls, Milk the Maid), My Hero, Chihiro is a fabulous mix of OTT comedy and sex with lashings of fantasy and bizarre happenings which make it another must-see for fans of Pink cinema.

From the director of Sexy Battle Girls, the provocatively named Whore Angels is a bizarre mix of fantasy, magic, OTT comedy, and strong sex scenes. The film centres on Komasa who works at the ‘Hot Lips’ whore house. One day she saves a red-haired woman, Monroe, from a demon that is attacking her, and it is quickly discovered that Monroe’s blow-jobs have magical healing powers!

Her fame spreads and soon this pink-haired sexual messiah is curing dozens of sick and handicapped men in her unique way, which makes her a true Angel and very popular…
