HALL OF FAME

Onaho Kyoushitsu: Joshi Zenin Ninshin Keikaku is the book in which an artist known for feet and socks turned to the revenge story, and in doing so launched the series that became the artist's signature; for that it stands in the hall.

At a school where girls make up nearly the whole student body, a boy who has been bullied by the girls in his class gets hold of a strange device that links him to whoever he pictures, and sets out to take his revenge. The six-chapter title series is an adult work of non-consent set at a school. The three other stories, including one about a couple who use the same device, are consensual romances.

Reviewers converge on the contrast between a light, pop drawing style and the darkness of the revenge plot, and on the draughtsmanship and the variety of its compositions. Several note that a device connecting two people is a familiar conceit, but that tying it to revenge was new. Others observe that the same object becomes a cursed thing in the series and a lovers' token in the shorter pieces.

Oouso made a debut in adult collections in 2015 and went on to publish a run of books with feet and socks in their titles. Readers recall that the earlier work was best known for men on the receiving end; with this, the sixth collection, the positions are turned around.

The chapters ran in COMIC BAVEL and were collected in 2020. An adult animated adaptation followed in 2021, and two sequel volumes have since extended the line. 47th among the hall's commercial works.
