Cruel Story of Youth

A young woman named Makoto is indulging her habit of hanging out in a bar, then cadging a ride home from some man she’s met. But this time the man who gives her a lift isn’t content to drop her off at her destination. When she tries to say goodnight, he starts forcing himself on her—until a stranger named Kiyoshi comes along, beats the guy up, and demands money as payment for the trouble he’s caused.
