Pinku takes over for Hallowe’en 2023 – with a sexy slant on what’s scary!
Juri is a popular bikini model. But when a magazine exposes Juri’s topless photos, she’s abandoned by her fans and her own agency. After this devastation to her career, Juri starts to correspond regularly with one of her supportive fans, and an odd and romantic relationship blossoms. However, he cannot bring himself to touch or look at her nipples, because he suffers from thelephobia (possessing a fear of nipples). Can love overcome his anxieties?
A interesting take on changing attitudes to sex and inhibition in modern Japan.
