HALL OF FAME

Adult manga has the option of writing no interior life at all. Jinken Hakai Koujou: Kairaku Judoutai Line takes that option and holds to it to the last page.

The setting is the factory and nothing else. Women are brought in, placed in machines, and carried through the stages in order. What the reader is handed is a voice like the plant's own publicity department, and not one worker ever appears on the page. What the women think is never written down.

Twenty-four pages, twenty-one of them the book proper. It advances the way a process chart does, with the equipment described in a flat register throughout. The distancing is what readers agree on when they write about it. With no interior placed in front of us, the texture of harm does not settle either; what is left is a schematic of devices and steps, and that is the design of the book. In a field whose default move is to build footholds for identification, this is a bold subtraction.

The circle Match Hakase began with its first book in May 2023. Volumes set in the same factory accumulated after it, six now including a collected edition. This is the second of them, and so far the only one of the series to pass through the gate of the hall.

Seventh in the ahegao category. Readership splits across the two stores: 62,000 on DLsite against 96,000 on FANZA. Official English, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and Korean editions are in circulation.
