HALL OF FAME

A series drawn instalment by instalment over six years of self-published booklets became a single collected volume in its tenth year. Mukuchi Shoujo to Sukebe Densha stands in the hall as a book that holds both that long publishing history and the growth of an artist's hand.

It is an adult work in eight chapters about Haruka, a taciturn high-school girl targeted by a molester on her commuter train, following only what takes place between her and one man — a chikan story, the genre of molestation without consent. Its use of one heroine and one counterpart across an entire volume is described by readers as rare for a collected book.

Anma, working alone as the circle F-Taku, has put out several doujinshi a year on molestation and assault themes. The series began with its first chapter in 2010 and closed with the eighth in 2016. This is the artist's first commercial book, and for it the first chapter was redrawn page by page and a full-colour short with the same heroine was added.

Because the chapters from the second on keep their original doujinshi art, the reader can watch the line settle as the book goes on, while the redrawn opening shows the hand of ten years later. Many readers point to being able to trace the artist's growth within one volume, and a review in Chinese makes the same observation.

The print edition came from Mediax in June 2020. By EHOF's own count, four of the nine commercial works in the hall whose official genres include chikan date from 2020. It stands 41st among the hall's commercial works.
