The Actors
Rape-Huggist: Tamaki Hiroshi ♂
Rape-Huggee: Kanno Miho ♀
The Context
This is a dorama about a seemingly gentle woman who basically goes around passively killing people, and a detective who obviously falls in love with her. However, as the actor playing this detective is Tamaki Hiroshi (a frequent appearee to J-Dorama Rape Hugs), he has a strange way of expressing these feelings. The rape-hug is committed during a heartfelt soliloquy by her about how miserable her life has been, and immediately after the words: "Leave me alone". Thus Tamaki is following the two main rules for the aspiring rape-huggist:
- Hear what you want to hear.
- Get them when they're down.
The Result
The result is negligable. Sure, she kind of runs away, but then they awkardly have dates in which there is less chemistry than the recipie for play-dough. They certainly fail the test of success, which is if their genitals touch. But I guess either way, it put her in a difficult situation - the rapehuggist is a policeman! And this is why we need a better comminity rape-hug watch.
The Depiction
The rape-hug can be seen coming from more than a minute before the actual event. While she is talking and staring out to sea, his head turns towards her like a dog that has just heard its name. I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped listening to what she was saying at this point. His eyes get crazier, and then he grabs her wrist as she tries to escape. She gives the final words of "leave me alone", which he thinks is the perfect moment to commit rape-hug. Then we get closeups of Tamaki with his angry furrowed brow, and her terrified face as if she is on a crowded train full of sumo wrestlers.
Awkwardometor ☆☆☆☆
This is a particularly awkward rapehug because of how incredibly bad he is (or the writers of the show) at reading the situation. Sure, Tamaki is a serial rapist and you know that one is coming, but that doesn't reduce the awkwardness. It's like watching a drunk walk the tightrope - it's more torturous before he falls, and almost a relief when he finally does. However, this is no consolation to the victim of the rape-hug. Furthermore, this is a nightscene, which helps increase the rapyness.

If you're feeling like torturing yourself, watch the extremely long rape-hug foreplay accompained by the sounds of waves lapping against the shore.
