[ Story ]

Oshino has but one goal in life - to revenge her humiliated father. Her mother took lover after lover and this eventually led to her father's disgrace. Beautiful Oshino tracks down the lovers, one by one, gives herself to them, and then murders them. It is then she discovers she was not the daughter of the man she thought to be her father. She learns, too, that the man she intended killing next and who is now planning to enjoy her favors is, indeed, her own father.
