( <– Please, would someone know the NAME of that sexual position ? ) Damn. The art is great, the story is garbage. Anaru, the most popular heroine of Ano Hana, is introduced to boys by two female friends, and she agrees to fuck like minks in an orgy with them. Rather than saving her first time to her beloved Jinta, she prefers to become very good at sex, and she discovers she enjoys it right from the very beginning. The ending carries a netorare-ish feeling, the boy Jinta doesn’t witness everything, but there’s a high possibility the heroine is already deciding to give up on him and stick to the cock currently rampaging inside her. Orz ¬_¬

The problem is that, graphically, Diogenes Club is getting better and better, and I can’t pretend I stayed cold at the sight of such a lewd teen body (plus: pigtails! )

At this point, as almost every evening, I asked myself why talented artists waste so much talent in netorare, betrayal, hard rape or mind-break stories. Satisfying the part of the audience that’s too young, too covered in teenage acne or too weak to try to hit on girls is a thing (this is Tsukino Jyogi’s specialty, revengeful emokids must dig his works SO much !), but I don’t think this is enough of an explanation.
And then… I started asking myself what I would draw if I were a capable artist. A strange feeling struck me : it’s a lot of work, a page can take half a day or more to be done, and – all that for a boring vanilla plain story ?!? Damn, let’s add spice ! It’s a bit like when you play Sim City, your city develops well, and the pinnacle of your gaming isn’t when you reach a certain score, no, the pinnacle is the moment when, at last, you test your city against 5 earthquakes, 3 tornadoes and an invading UFO, and you see if it still hangs on or entirely turns to ashes (and if needed, you throw a few more earthquakes). Maybe the hentai artists are a bit like that, it’s when you destroy something that you selfishly feel everything of its – quickly fading away – beauty…
