Among the many things one should not do, but cannot help doing, is imagining the appropriate audience for any given porn. Yes, I know I should not imagine the person who reads a comic about a nobody who is suddenly, inexplicably and universally attractive to young women, who will have unprotected sex with him in public and speak to him like a child or a puppy. That way lies madness. And yet, I challenge anyone to read My Whole Country Stans Me and not have the same thought cross their mind.

Anji begins this short, explicitly porny porn by explaining that he is a loser. Not just of something small and inconsequential, but of major election. I thought that the story would take the form of him being recognizable and sympathetic and having women throw themselves at him, but I was mostly wrong. Instead, Anji's just so pathetic that women strip down in public, and he repeatedly has sex with several women at once who are infantilizing him for no apparent reason. Good for him, I guess, although the baby talk squicked me a little. If I'd just fucked four women on a coffee store counter, I feel like having my penis called a “little peepee” would be off-putting. What do I know?

The creator leans into this idea a bit more and just keeps adding on fetishes with every scenario, as Anji has public sex in various tropey locations with various type-y kind of women. I also want to bow in the creator's direction at their afterword where they described this work as “It turned out sort of fantastical.” Yes, just a bit, here and there. I also think Irodori should have left the ‘o’ out of “country” in the title. Cowards.

As hard as we try, there is no meaning to be squeezed out of this doujinshi. It's not deep, or particularly tightly written. It does go hard and fast on the rather basic premise, and reaches a climax that may or may not satisfy depending on whether you are someone who can walk in Anji's shoes…or pants, I suppose I should say.

Kuroba Dam's My Whole Country Stans Me is a weird, spicy manga. Not in terms of the sexual content present in the work, oh no, this one's pretty vanilla outside of some “public sex but nobody seems to notice” stuff. Rather, the main character of this work, Anji, is an overt incel, and this work seems to cater specifically to a demographic that is growingly sex negative while also misunderstanding other elements of commonplace culture.

The short of this plot is that Anji is a failed political candidate who seemingly campaigned on forcing women to have sex with men. Understandably, the people of this world dislike him as much as most readers will, and he becomes a shut-in with his campaign concession crashout going viral on the internet. When he does finally emerge from his self-imposed sequestering, he discovers that anyone who's seen that embarrassing viral video will view him as the thing they like, or “stan,” the most. Disregarding the fact that this work doesn't use the slang “stan” in the way that most people use it in common vernacular, this superpower allows Anji to perform sex acts with whoever he wants, with every person participating or in the vicinity being cool with it, so long as they've seen the video of his meltdown.

There's a kernel of a good idea in this work, and the concept of a person accepting feelings of embarrassment to grow and reach sexual fulfillment certainly has an appeal to it. Unfortunately, My Whole Country Stans Me does not engage with this part of its text and instead reads as a rape-revenge fantasy where the main character is looking to get revenge on every woman in society for, in his mind, rejecting him. This is a really cynical work that I can't recommend to anyone. Even with a serviceable translation — or as serviceable as it can be with the term “stan” getting forced into dialogue more than once — and lettering, nothing can make up for the bad taste this work puts in my mouth from the get-go.

I don't know, maybe if you want to see some rudimentary art and get a peek into how an incel would think about the world and society, maybe there's something of value in My Whole Country Stans Me. Me personally, though? I'd rather read something that's enthusiastic about sex and doesn't treat it principally as a status symbol.

This story…confused me. I'll be honest, for most of this story, I was genuinely wondering what the hell I was reading because it felt like the story jumped the gun a little bit on establishing its pattern without really doing any legwork to justify why I should care. I can't tell if this story is making fun of incels on the Internet who demand people like them or if it is presenting itself as some weird power fantasy for them. The fact that the story explicitly follows a loser who has been ridiculed on the Internet for yelling on TV about how much he wants people to literally “stan” him feels like I'm not supposed to take any of this seriously, and maybe I'm not. Maybe all of this is just an excuse to facilitate that harem power fantasy where women flock to you once they get a good look at your greasy mug.

The problem is, I don't know why these women are into him until near the end of the story, and even the specific ways that they are flocking to him don't really make a lot of sense. There are a lot of stories that will play with this idea of perspective in order to fulfill that very power fantasy. Maybe a grown adult will be aged down to appear more innocent to women, or maybe women will just find those men irrevocably attractive, like it's a hypnosis. This seems to be a hypnosis that makes everybody look at the protagonist in a different, appealing way. The women aren't “stanning” him because of how he is; they are standing him because of how specifically he appears to them, which gets very confusing because I'm not really sure what fetishes the story is supposed to lean into on a specific level.

One woman likes this guy because she sees him as a little brother, one woman treats this guy well because she thinks he's her son, and one woman is attracted to him because she thinks…he's a cat? I never saw what these women were looking at from their perspective, but it was very distracting during the sex scenes themselves, which ended up backfiring as a hook. It felt like there were so many different ideas going on in here that made what should've been a very simple porn story feel surprisingly convoluted. You're better off skipping this one because you might spend more time being confused about what exactly you're supposed to be turned on about than actually turned on in the first place.
