Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Noboru Tanaka directed this third installment in the popular series which began with Jokousei Tenshi No Harawata (1978). Eri Kanuma stars as Nami, a Japanese field reporter writing an article about rape for a women's magazine. As she investigates a bizarre series of crimes, she links up with a male reporter writing a similar article for a men's magazine, and the pair slowly uncover a strange pattern leading to a serial rapist. Takeo Chii co-stars in this tense, moody thriller, which was followed by the flamboyant Tenshi No Harawata: Akai Inga (1981).
