HALL OF FAME

How much of an artist's form is settled by the first book? “Tanetsuke! Press Press Press” stands in the hall as a debut collection whose answer is almost all of it.

The head maid of a mansion, a doctor on a remote island, a nun, a married woman, a woman who manages others at work: in nine stories, each is forced into relations with greasy middle-aged men by hypnosis, blackmail, or confinement, in the manner of the ryoujoku, or violation, story. Some stories also include a private tutor's pupil or a boy.

The most common verdict is that the style is already fixed here. The male leads' way of speaking, which readers later came to call "chin-go", is here in seed form: quieter than in the later books, several reviewers write, but already pointed in its direction. The line is thinner than in later years, and readers treat the book as the starting point for tracing how the drawing changed. Many also mention the blunt title and the energy of the cover.

The print edition came out from Angel Publishing in November 2016, followed by digital editions on FANZA in January 2017 and on DLsite in May. Nine months later a second collection appeared from Kuroe Shuppan; after one book with Kill Time Communication, the later volumes alternated between Angel Publishing and Kuroe Shuppan.

Commercial titles on DLsite containing "hypnosis" grew from 54 in 2016 to 166 in 2019. This book came just ahead of that rise and has been read for a long time on both digital stores. It stands 97th among the hall's commercial works.
