HALL OF FAME

Revenge can be complete without ever reaching its target. "Jii Fukushuu 1" stands in the hall as ten pages built on that single premise.

At school, a girl who is bullied comes to hold a secret belonging to the girl who bullies her. She uses it neither as a threat nor to expose her, but keeps it entirely to herself. As the title signals, it is an adult work between two girls whose subjects are masturbation and covert filming, and it has only two characters. The maker stated up front that no male character would appear.

Most reader comment centres on this mechanism. It reaches no one, on the surface harms no one, and is complete within the one who holds the secret; several readers call it a form of revenge they had never seen before, a refined invention. Within the constraint of two characters and a scene that barely moves, a single closing line turns revenge into another feeling. The maker had announced in the listing that revenge would become a warped kind of love.

This was the first book from the circle Tera Stellar. It alone carries no artist credit; from the second volume on, the name of the artist, Osanai Nii, stands beside the circle's. The ten pages released as a prologue grew into a four-volume series, followed by a compilation and full-colour editions. Official English and Spanish editions also exist.

Ten pages priced at 165 yen drew more than 8,500 ratings. A short, cheap prologue gathers readers and grows into a series: this small book records one shape that doujin took in the age of download sales. It stands 40th among the hall's doujin works, 2nd in the yuri division and 9th in Loli/Petite.
