SONE-860 uses "travel selfies" as its entry point, placing Shirakami Sakika in an everyday yet unexpected setting. A hot spring trip, initially a relaxing and enjoyable experience, takes a sharp turn for the worse due to the sudden appearance of a rapist, and the selfie camera inadvertently captures everything.
Sakika's character is very well-developed in this work, with a stark contrast between her initial relaxation and happiness and her later panic. Her emotional transitions are natural and smooth, allowing viewers to easily immerse themselves in the scene. The photographic style intentionally mimics the texture of a real selfie, giving the images a rough, impromptu feel that complements the storyline.
Overall, SONE-860 has some novelty in its plot setting, integrating the modern element of "selfies" into a traditional forced storyline, giving the work a unique sense of immediacy.
Saki's performance remains consistently excellent, making this a worthwhile addition to her collection.
