HALL OF FAME

TS Loli Ojisan no Bouken: Onanie Hen stands in the hall for drawing the life that follows a transformation in close detail, and giving an absurd premise its conviction.

A thirty-two-year-old single man botches his reincarnation into another world and is sent back to this one in the form of a young girl. It is an adult work built on gender transformation (TS), and, as its title says, it brings in no partner: every scene belongs to the protagonist alone.

Ronna, the artist of the circle Asunaro Neat., spends real pages on the life after the change. Coffee now tastes bitter to an altered palate. Choosing clothes brings an unexpected lift. A job and a legal identity have to be sorted out. Several readers observe that each such scene deposits another layer of conviction beneath the transformation. Others find it funny read as a parody of the isekai story's training-and-awakening stages. Comedy that borrows the shape of a popular narrative form is the ground the book stands on.

Setting the premise on a failed isekai reincarnation suggests, in itself, that the book belongs to a period when that genre's conventions were widely shared. Several of its reviewers identify themselves as women. It is the circle's second release on DLsite, arriving nearly two years after the first, and it circulated on paper as well; an interlude volume and a sequel have followed.

Official editions are distributed in Japanese, English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French and Thai. In the hall it stands 18th among doujin works, third in the ahegao category and sixth in the loli category.
