Summary of Ai no mukidashi
The death of schoolboy Yu's religious mother prompts his father Tetsu to take up the priesthood. Tetsu tries to force Yu to confess his sins, and in order to comply, Yu joins a gang using martial-arts techniques to take upskirt photographs. Dressed as female crimefighter 'Miss Scorpion' - a forfeit to his comrades - he steps in to protect schoolgirl Yoko from a street assault. They instantly fall in love, and a flash of her panties gives him his first erection. As 'Miss Scorpion' he can't reveal his ardour, a frustration intensified when Yoko and her stepmother Kaori move in with fallen clergyman Tetsu, making Yu and Yoko effectively siblings. However, events are secretly being manipulated by vengeful Koike, a recruiter for the religious cult Zero Church. She enrols at Yu and Yoko's school and exposes Yu as an upskirt photographer. Yoko pours scorn on Yu's declaration that he's actually 'Miss Scorpion', the shame causing her to join the Zero Church. Failing to de-programme Yoko in the course of an abduction, Yu joins the cult and feigns obedience, only revealing his true colours when he kills the cult leader and insists he's not ashamed of his perverse affections, prompting crestfallen Koike to commit suicide. Yoko moves in with relatives; seeing her young cousin falling in love makes her realise she was wrong about Yu. She visits him in the insane asylum, where he's regressed into 'Miss Scorpion'. However, Yu's memory and his erection return, and after fleeing the asylum he touches hands with Yoko through the smashed window of a patrol car.
