You’d think this would make her classes pretty popular, at least with the boys, but the students boycott her and the faculty is scandalized. Things get a little blurry here, because her character is supposed to be mixed race. This actually may have been true of Sakae in real life too, though we can’t confirm that. In any case, it may contribute to her outsider status at the school, though we can’t confirm that either, because some subtleties in Japanese films are beyond us. But we’ve learned what her character is—tough, smart, and highly sexual.
After she gets chewed out by the school principal for her unusual teaching methods, she and math teacher Izumi Shima go out to commiserate. They pick up a photographer and have a threesome with him, after which Sakae leaves Shima in his company. Shima then turns up missing. The investigation into her disappearance uncovers some naughty photos from threesome night, and from that point things go in directions nobody could have guessed. Suffice it to say that teacher deer’s presence at Hakuho High is more than it seems.
We said this movie couldn’t be made today, but not because it’s racy. It’s the high school sex angle. High school implies non-adults, and that’s obviously a cinematic no-no—for good reason. In terms of actual visible sexual content, though, Kyōshi mejika is mild for the genre. On one level we’re thankful for that, because these flicks can get purely crazy. But on another level, the film isn’t terribly creative in terms of plot. We consider it a non-representative example of Nikkatsu Studios’ roman porno output, but that makes it one you can come away from feeling relatively okay about yourself.
