By Rich McLean: Not all erotic manga is created equally. Sometimes the focus is on taboo feelings, like we saw last week with Taro Shinonome's "Swing Out Sisters". Other times the focus is on straight-up eroticism, like with this week's title, "The Spirit of Capitalism". So let's get right into the weird and wild world of office ladies whose sole purpose is to pleasure their professional colleagues, shall we? It might take place in a business environment, but I don't see how these people manage to do any work ...
This title comes to us from Tuna Empire, whose other titles (including "Family Circumstances", "Capture Guide for the First Date", and "Viva Freedom!". among others) feature slightly more realistic depiction of male organs and how much semen they produce than some of the other erotic manga we've seen. (Of course, the tradeoff is that we're subjected to more perverse and specialty categories of porn, but that's hentai for you.)
"The Spirit of Capitalism" follows Sayuri as she begins her new office lady job. "Office ladies" are a common sight in many Japanese companies; usually they perform support tasks for other employees like making copies and delivering mail. The twist here is that (surprise!) Sayuri's main job is to service the male employees of the company.
So a major focus of the scenes in this manga is gangbangs and forced humiliation, which Sayuri and her fellow office ladies seem more than happy to participate in--even if it's not part of their job descriptions or if it happens to take place on their day off.
As I mentioned before, the series does go off to into some more specialty aspects: specifically, there are a couple of scenes involving watersports. But those are few and far between, so if it's not your cup of tea you can just flip the page and the action will have already moved on to something else. This title also loves to feature anal play, so that takes center stage for many of the stories as well.
And as I also mentioned, Tuna Empire's work is worth checking out to see something that is not frequently depicted in ero-manga: men with realistically sized penises who ejaculate realistically. Up until they pull out the futanari (dickgirl) chick from India. Then all bets are off.
You can pick up a copy of "The Spirit Of Capitalism" from Icarus Comics, a fine purveyor for all your hentai needs.
