Pan Takes - June 2025 Vol 1 - Alice Otsu, Himari and Yuria Yoshine

It's hard to believe the year is nearly halfway over now. We've had some pretty great releases so far and I certainly hope that trend continues for the rest of 2025. We've got some interesting titles this month, that's for sure. From traditional themes like massage parlors to wacky doujinshi adaptations featuring Yuria Yoshin in a blowjob mask that makes her look like Birdo. But if you prefer your JAV sauceless and prefer a more vanilla setup, you'll get your fill too thanks to Alice Otsu and Yu Tano. With all that said, let's dive in!

Himari seems to be a recurring face now for Moodyz doujinshi adaptations label. It does make plenty of sense given her proportions. Her previous entry produced middling results and unfortunately, this one feels the same. The premise revolves around Himari playing a busty masseuse who slowly ramps up the heat with some steady teasing all while asking for a bigger and bigger fee. This leads to her eventually fucking him and draining an entire condoms worth of cum. Now the original work only featured one scene while this adaptation fleshes out the story with an additional three scenes which is a welcome change. This is all nice but I found the premise to be very uninspiring for a doujinshi. There are so many more creative works out there and this just feels like a regular JAV plot. It doesn't help when the production values leave quite a bit to be desired.

The settings are very samey across the entire film and the lighting isn't much better. It's quite bright in the first few scenes with the first incidence being the worst as it shines directly on her. It's really not a great look. The camerawork is decent and I do appreciate the POV use in the last scene. But otherwise, it's pretty lackluster. The action fares a little better but still has issues. It features three sex scenes and a paizuri scene. The last two scenes are great but the first two are rather mediocre mainly thanks to the lousy position variety and dull focus on foreplay. Not to mention the inclusion of rimjobs which are an element of the original manga so it's to expected. But I still don't care for it. Himari as always does deliver a solid performance with her best display coming from the POV scene. There are definitely good moments here and there but it's still largely a forgettable outing. It's not awful but won't be something you'll remember fondly at the end of the year.

The premise here is rather amusing centering around a guy who signs up for a "sister catering service" where a girl will basically roleplay as your sister. We see them hang out together and play video games before things start getting spicy. She adopts a schoolgirl uniform and soon whips her tits out leading to more typical JAV shenaigans. I enjoyed this setup as it's pretty silly and does fit Noa's warm personality pretty well. Despite that, her performance does leave me with mixed feelings. She's amazing when it comes to the foreplay as she gives off this very inviting and playful vibe while boasting lively facial expressions. However, once the action starts, she stumbles a bit. Her expressions become very one-note on top of being super whiny and submissive.

It's a real letdown considering she's perfectly suited for this but fails to deliver. Another underwhelming aspect is the action as it only features two sex scenes and a paizuri scene for the entire film. Even worse is that all the cumshots are fake except for the very last one. The two sex scenes are decent but nothing really noteworthy. The slow pacing in particular really drags them down. The production values don't fare much better either. I found the lighting to be rather bland in the first two scenes and the pacing obviously has issues. The camerawork is fine enough and I do like Noa's appearance here. The pigtails in particular are a nice touch. Overall, YMDD-488 is a disappointment. The plot is great but the execution is middling and her performance leaves something to be desired.

Funny enough this is Alice Otsu's second release with Marrion's IRIS label. This series is a bit of a guilty pleasure as each entry is nearly always the same but usually makes for a decent watch. There's no plot here whatsoever beyond a slightly themed tutor scenario in the first scene. Beyond that, it's pretty vanilla with an obviously huge focus on her ass. It offers up plenty of juicy booty eyecandy if nothing else. A key component to this is the production values which are mostly on point. The camerawork is solid and she does sport a few nice outfits. The lighting though can leave a little something to be desired. It can be pretty samey throughout and sometimes look a little flat.

Next up, we have the action. It consists of two sex scenes, two assjob scenes, and a handjob scene. All of the ass focus is enjoyable and the variety of positions is good. My one main gripe would be that the middle of the film is rather slow being dragged down by some rather dull foreplay. There's some facesitting but the first scene already gave us plenty of that so it becomes a tad repetitive. At least all the cumshots are real. Lastly, we have her performance which isn't bad but nothing too memorable. She feels more subdued than usual and isn't as wild as you'd expect. It's a perfectly fine performance though with decent energy but nothing here blew me away in particular. This all makes for a servicable watch especially for any ass lover and Alice fan.

I went into this one with pretty low expectations honestly. The cover didn't look bad but the whole blowjob mask thing looked goofy as hell. Makes her look like Birdo or something. Despite the silliness though, I had a decent time here. Yuria plays a married woman whose husband falls into bankruptcy. She's soon contacted by a former business partner who offers to help in exchange for sexual services while wearing the "blowjob mask". In typical JAV fashion, she's mostly resistant to it until the end where she fully embraces it and even records a video of the action while mocking her husband. I felt rather neutral on this setup but I strangely enough kinda weirdly liked the BJ mask. Now let's talk about the action. It features about three sex scenes and one stimulation/fingering scene. It fully adapts every scene from the manga while also fleshing out each scene. I will say the hot springs fingering scene is pretty forgettable but all the other scenes were enjoyable.

The fake cumshots are a bummer but the position variety is great with a nice mix of cowgirl and doggystyle. Even better is that they shoot her from all angles while in doggy so you can't several nice views of her ass and tits. Even better when she's got the leash and collar around her neck. Speaking of which, I loved her main outfit here. It frames her body perfectly and suits her well. I will say the lighting and settings do get a bit repetitive but at least they look solid. Now her performance was mostly underwhelming sadly. A big part of it is due to the mask obscuring her face, restricting how expressive she can be. Beyond that she mostly just lays there and takes it without much enthusiasm at all. Her submissive nature does make sense given the setup but it was still a bit disappointing. It's not perfect but MIMK-193 was an amusing watch. There's some great eyecandy here with some equally nice action to boot. Don't let the goofy mask turn you away.

Mina has been on a bit of a hot streak lately and with her becoming a freelancer, this trend may just explode through the roof. This particular film casts Mina as a lewd masseuse who loves to go "hands-on" with her customers and give them one hell of a happy ending. It's like any other massage-themed video except with an emphasis on foreplay with her hands while she's sporting an array of "qipao" dresses. Admittedly, neither of these interest me so I wasn't too hopeful here. But the film managed to impress me mainly due to Mina's remarkable performance. She's a master of teasing and gives off this tantalizing sensual aura. Her facial expressions are amazing too and really stand out in the POV scene. Next up, we have the action which is great but not perfect. It features three sex scenes and two scenes encompassing a mix of blowjob, handjobs as well as some paizuri.

Now one of the biggest issues I have is with the pacing. The runtime is a whopping 3 hours and 34 minutes which means there is a lot of bloat. Some scenes start with a long, drawn-out massage session that isn't interesting to watch and is rather dull. The worst culprit is the first scene as the entire first half hour is entirely skippable. The fourth scene is pretty lousy too with its lackluster paizuri focus and male squirting finish. However, the sex scenes are all terrific and we even get to see Mina swallow real cum(which looks rather convincing). We'll cap this off with the production values which are mostly solid. I wasn't a big fan of her wardrobe as I mentioned earlier but the lighting and settings are surprisingly varied. The camerawork is on point too, especially in the POV scene with some amazing shots. While the theme isn't really cup of tea and the pacing is way too bloated, the action is satisfying enough, especially with Mina's superb performance.

Yu Tano just had her best release so far last month so I was eager to see how she'd follow it up. The results are in, we got a hot streak going now. The premise here is pretty entertaining as it centers around Yu in various situations where her huge tits accidentally pop out. A few examples include her wearing a towel while answering the door and letting it drop. Or doing a photoshoot in a bikini and having the strings become undone. Each scene presents a unique and they're all rather humorous. I'm a massive fan of this setup and it's executed very well. Variety is key here with a nice range of setting and lighting that really make every scene stand out on its own. The camerawork is impeccable too with plenty of amazing shots that stunningly highlight her ridiculous chest. Even better is that she spends most of the film so there's no shortage of juicy titty eyecandy.

The action makes excellent use of this element too. It consists of three sex scenes, two paizuri scens, and a handjob scene. I honestly have next to nothing to complain about. The cumshots all appear to be real which is always a major positive. There's also a large emphasis on tittyfucking with it being included in every scene. And with her paizuri skills being top-notch, I was thoroughly pleased. I loved the position variety too as we're treated to lots of cowgirl, missionary and doggystyle with great views from the front showcasing her huge tits. This is all backed up by a pretty solid performance from Yu. She starts out submissive for most of the scenes which makes sense before opening up a bit and enjoying herself. You certainly get to see her bubbly personality shine through in some of these scenes, especially during the tittyfuck segments. That charming smile of hers is great and her energy is on point as well. She's definitely elevated herself to being one of the best performers right now with S1. All this amounts to yet another banger from Yu Tano. The future is bright for her. Big tits, cute face, charming smile, and a bubbly personality. What's not to love?

You can always rely on Deeps for some entertaining game show-esque concept and they deliver yet again. Now I obviously don't speak or understand Japanese too well so I apologize if I screw up the plot description. From what I understand, the goal for these "random" guys is to see if they can cum fewer than x amount of times via cowgirl. If they do, then they can fuck her raw. I will say that the 2nd guy is a well-established actor so some of the plot immersion is ruined there. But I've never seen the other two before and they definitely seem inexperienced. This was a fun setup and it allows for the actress to just be themselves and go all out, which they certainly do. All three are extremely energetic and seem to be having a blast. Yui Hatano in particular was the most impressive delivering one of the best performances I've ever seen from her. The way she rides and grinds this guy was incredible to watch.

The performance factor overall is easily the biggest highlight of the entire film. Not close behind is the actual action. It features three sex scenes in all with each actress respectively. The key factor for this setup revolved around the guy cumming multiple times and honestly, many of these loads do look legit. Especially early on when a few of these poor dudes cum within 10 seconds of a blowjob. The creampies later on are obviously fake but that's to be expected. The sex itself is intense with a nice mix of positions while being evenly balanced across the entire film. Unfortunately, the production values are a little lacking. Every scene uses the exact same setting and lighting setup, which doesn't look great. It's way too damn bright and saturated. All the extra lighting is just so unnecessary. It's not enough to ruin the scenes but definitely hampers the satisfaction. That aside, this was still a fantastic film and easily one of my favorites of the entire month.
