Sheesh, even the Japanese Anime market is ripping off "Desperate Housewives," although the plot here is probably one that Hollywood would only be able to produce on cable.

Three wives are called to an after school meeting because their children are misbehaving. But the two male employees who called the conference don't just lecture the parents, they punish the women as well.

The women get beaten, tied and raped – all the while being talked down to like insolent children.

Retailing: One of the better ones for your anime section.
