HALL OF FAME

One sequence of events, drawn twice through two pairs of eyes. Seikan Massage ni Hamatte Shimatta Volley-bu Joshi no Hanashi ~Zenpen~ stands in the hall for that experiment in form.

A first-year member of a girls' volleyball team is taken by an upperclassman she admires to a chiropractic clinic: the premise of what is known as the erotic-massage story, here in an adult work. Officially classed as a school story, it is the first of three parts in which the aims of the protagonist, the upperclassman and the therapist cross.

The main story comes twice: fifty-five pages from the protagonist's point of view, and fifty-five pages showing the same scenes from the therapist's. A change of narrator alone turns the same events into a different story. Comment gathers on this structure, and readers have argued over which version to read first. The circle itself asked readers which point of view they preferred. The book was read as a classic treatment that carries a staple of the screen over into manga, and the care of its opening is praised as well.

The circle Kamikadou is led by the manga artist Haru Ginyō, who has made this public. It began with derivative work on Touhou Project and other properties and turned to original work from late 2017. This book opened a new series in 2020; the middle and final parts followed the same year, and a compilation in 2022. It reached first place in FANZA's 24-hour ranking. It stands 58th among the hall's doujin works.
