The Dream Girl
Overview: Yumi worked at a small snack bar called Bacchus, tucked away in a corner of the city. Before long, she had gathered her own entourage—three men named Takeshi, Ken, and Toru. Convinced that the true essence of youth lay in taking risks, Yumi’s boyfriend, Takeshi, dreamed of taking the helm of a yacht and sailing off to unknown lands. Ken, a factory worker from a small-town workshop, fantasized about creating a guerrilla radio station that played nothing but the new rock sounds—the shared language of youth. Meanwhile, Toru, a college student who proudly styled himself as a revolutionary. The trio began saving money as if to make their dreams tangible. They entered an endurance contest but they were eliminated. With a goal of raising 3 million yen by the following summer, their prospects looked bleak. In the days that followed, each arrived at the same conclusion: they could exploit Yumi’s exceptional beauty and striking sexy physique by launching an alluring honey-trap scheme.

Wicked Priest
Overview: During the Taisho Period (early 1920's) a monastery of warrior monks was split apart between two factions. One of these factions was led by the Chief Abbot and his protege, Shinkai. When Shinkai intercedes in a fight between a rival priest and some ruffians it leads to his expulsion from the order. This story introduced us to the character of Shinkai, a "Karate Priest" and his long running feud with Ryotatsu, his greatest rival. There are touches of humor as Shinkai breaks all the commandments of a priest, including fighting, gambling, and running after women. All this leads to an awesome conclusion as he must destroy a gang of yakuza aided by corrupt priests. The fighting is fast and furious as Ryotatsu waits to see if Shinkai can live long enough to face him in the ultimate test! /Winterheart of CG
