EROMANGA
HALL OF FAME

Netorare is ordinarily a word spoken from the position of the one who loses. Numaru stands high in that hall having never once put that person on the page.

A woman moves into the flat next door to a man whose girlfriend lives far away. The walls are thin. One day she tells him, to his face, that she has heard him saying her name to himself. The affair begins there, and then one day she moves out without a word.

The pages go to the face of the one doing the seducing. The single expression with which she remarks on his erection is what readers most often single out as the book's summit. The moles at her chest and inner thigh are placed in frame again and again, and readers name those small dark points as the exact seat of her allure. Thirty-two pages end by taking the woman away and leaving the pleasure behind. Only then does the reader begin to work out what the man is actually sunk in. The title is a verb with a full stop after it: not a declaration of something beginning, but the name of a condition already complete.

The circle Mittsuman has sixty-seven titles on DLsite, and this is the largest of them. Mittsuman writes, Mafuyu draws. Four of the circle's titles stand in the hall.

A month after release it reached general Japanese ebook stores, and DLsite's official editions run in English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Indonesian, with an entry in the English-language reference databases. It stands fifth in the netorare division and forty-fifth among doujin works in the hall.
