HALL OF FAME

Sono Yubisaki de Korogashite is the book in which Dibi's world of women on top first took the shape of a single volume, and it stands in the hall as the origin point for everything the artist has published since.

A three-chapter series featuring a cat-eared beastfolk heiress and her head maid anchors the collection, joined by short stories set in an elven village, a dungeon, a women's prison and elsewhere. All nine chapters keep to one arrangement, the woman leading and the man yielding; the official genre tags include reverse rape and male-receptive. Some readers take the men to be boys and file the book under onee-shota.

Reviewers agree first on the line, thin and soft, and on figures that stand apart from both fashionable styles and realism. They agree next on the lettering: dialogue, sound effects and hand-drawn text fill the panels and fuse with the drawing, so that readers find themselves reading every word to the end.

According to a 2018 article in Nikkan Cyzo, Dibi learned the craft by posting to pixiv and made a commercial debut in 2015 in a digital anthology; that debut story, set in a women's prison, is included here. Dibi says the dialogue is always written first, and that the drawing began without any how-to book on manga; the article adds that this first collection was the point at which Dibi left an office job to draw full time.

Published in 2016. Of the artist's four works in the hall it ranks highest, and it stands 43rd among the hall's commercial works.
