Theory/Over-Analysis: "…Infinite Pleasure Spawning" Part 2: Random Observations
Following what I'm working on for "A Certain Sage…", this Part will be a series of random observations for "…The Infinite Pleasure Spawning Drama".
There's not as much to note as in "A Certain Sage…", but… Whatever. This one's just WEIRD.
The title card is a lightly-cracked egg
How and why did Belaf start laying eggs? …Even the narration has no fucking clue.
---[insert the "Anything goes in Wonderland~" joke from Phelan Porteous here]
Belaf is male, yet has somehow spawned a birth canal
---Transmasc Belaf confirmed???
---Or did the Abyss do this, too?
Vueko says "otsukare-sama" to congratulate Belaf on laying the egg, which is basically a catch-all phrase for when someone has finished a job and/or finished doing hard work
---I bring this up because it's written entirely in hiragana, and may I remind you of that one 2chan thread where this dude basically trolled everyone by writing "otsukare-sama" entirely in hiragana???
---This will be expanded upon in Part Three
---Also in this panel, Vueko is literally wiping Belaf's ass
The eggs look just like chicken eggs
---Apparently, the Sages were too scared to check what's inside of them
As the days pass, the eggs gradually get bigger and bigger
---And, naturally, the bigger the egg, the harder it is to "birth"
---YES, THE NARRATION SAYS "BIRTH"
Belaf disappears into his room for a few days
---He even refuses to eat, claiming that his portion should be saved for Irumyuui because she's "a growing girl"
---Speaking of which, WHERE THE HELL IS IRUMYUUI?!
---This is the only time she's mentioned; she is never seen, either.
---You'd think she'd be right up there trying to help, given her tribe's obsession with fertility???
Turns out, the eggs got stuck
---Belaf literally looks pregnant now
---That's why he was avoiding everyone and trying to starve; he didn't want anyone to see his huge belly
---He is full of eggs
---He was terrified of having to "birth" the increasingly-bigger eggs because of how painful it was getting
Wazukyan may or may not have been a chicken farmer at one point???
---He mentions chickens and how they'd occasionally get eggs stuck; and mentions something about a "land base"???
---If anyone can make better sense of this panel, be my guest
10. Wazukyan borrows Vueko's sex dungeon-- I mean-- "workspace"
11. The Interference Units give Belaf some sort of medicine/pain reliever
---Where was the medicine earlier when he was literally laying an egg in front of Vueko???
---Why didn't he ask for it sooner???
---It, like, worked instantly, soooo…????????
12. Wazukyan's bright idea? "Let's lube up the eggs! Make 'em slippery~!"
---The worst part? IT FUCKING WORKS.
13. Belaf lays eight eggs all in one go
---WHY ARE THE EGGS SURROUNDED BY HEARTS
---ANSWER ME, ANNOUU-SAN
14. PUT YOUR DICK AWAY, WAZUKYAN
15. Belaf's breasts start producing milk
---This implies that his body was producing hormones for the eggs as if they were human???
---If the eggs ever hatched… Would they be sentient? Would they even BE human???
---I'm scared
16. I present to you, the feminine equivalent to the "papa pole": the "mama nipple"
17. Belaf panics because he has to deliver one gigantic fucking egg
---He is terrified and Wazukyan continues to have a dopey smile on his face
18. Wazukyan gently wipes away Belaf's tears…
19. …AND THEN SLAMS HIS HAND DOWN ON BELAF'S STOMACH AND FORCES THE EGG OUT
20. The egg is, in Wazukyan's own words, "about the size of a baby's head".
---Meanwhile, Belaf's just sprawled there on the floor and hasn't moved an inch
---Like seriously; his eyes are rolled back in his head
---Is he okay?
21. There's one last egg. A teeny-weeny little one
---AND WAZUKYAN IMMEDIATELY DROPS IT AND BREAKS IT
22. There's a Gory Discretion Shot, and we never see what was actually IN the egg
---Wazukyan doesn't react in horror or anything at all really; but then again, should we be rating gore based off of the dude who eats rats?
23. Time skip of an unspecified amount; and Vueko's out in the new garden
---The eggs were buried there to be fertiliser for the plants and flowers
24. But then, Vueko notices the grave
---Where did it come from?
---Who made it and why?
---Who or what is buried there…?
---This is never answered
THE END. I'm not joking. That's how it ends. Now, onto the theories in Part Three~!

Theory/Over-Analysis: "...Infinite Pleasure Spawning" Part 1: Overview/Review
While I was waiting for the listing of the Wazubela "Duo" R18 appendix booklet to come back up, I managed to get my hands on Annouu_ronpa's "Yokubou Tamago Club".
The story in question to-day is the second section of the book.
Full Title: "A Mixture of Mystery and Blasphemy ♥ The Infinite Pleasure Spawning Drama". Somehow even longer than "A Certain Sage…"'s full title.
I'm writing this three-parter about this doujin just to get it out of my head. I feel like if I ever see another egg, I'm gonna go crazy.
Part One will just be a review, Part Two will be random observations, and Part Three will be the Pandora's Box theory I've hinted at and other miscellaneous theories I thought of afterwards.
Either way… Have I finally found a doujin that made me think, "Wow, what the hell was the author smoking?" when I read it?
Yes. Yes, I have. It's this one. If you think "A Certain Sage…" is weird, you have seen NOTHING yet. NOTHING.
PLOT: Believe it or not, it has a plot. Belaf starts laying eggs. Repeatedly. Can it be stopped? And if so, how? …Wazukyan to the rescue…?
Again, I'll avoid spoilers here, but Parts Two and Three WILL spoil the ending (because a few of my theories hinge on the final few pages).
Thematically, it's very similar to "A Certain Sage…", in the sense that it's Belaf getting tormented for fun and Wazukyan continues to have one braincell to his name.
But, there's just something about this doujin that makes me feel really, REALLY weird, but I can't put my finger on what.
It's not the art, nor the narration. Not the tone, either. It's not so much the ending, or even the egg-laying concept. There's just something about it that's… "OFF".
Not "off-putting", but just… "Off".
It's like the doujin equivalent to "The Twilight Zone". Somewhere beyond mortal comprehension. As if I'm reading something that I'm not supposed to; that I've gained knowledge that I shouldn't know. That I'm seeing something that I shouldn't be seeing.
I have no idea.
At least it came with this cool bookmark.
8/10. Mostly for the art. The art is beautiful. But, it's just so damn weird that I can't justify giving it a 10/10.
(Also, I just realised the impeccable irony of reviewing the EGG doujinshi so close to Easter LOL).

Annouu_ronpa: [literally writes a doujin where Belaf lays eggs]
My brain: ""Mystery and Blasphemy-- The Infinite Pleasure Spawning" is a metaphor for Pandora's Box."
Me: "What?"
My brain: "Write a theory about it."
Me: "But I'm working on Part Three of the No Mockwater AU--"
My brain: "You gotta."
Me: "My theory on "A Certain Sage and the Remote Sex Device" isn't even done yet--"
My brain: "YOU. GOTTA."

Okay, not even gonna lie. I have amassed a decent-sized collection of Wazubela doujinshi.
And I get them shipped from a shop located in Kanagawa.
Well, during Christmas, one of the doujins came with a bonus "Doraemon" puffy snack. I wish I had taken a picture of it before I ate it. It was delicious.
Anyway, NecoJelly's Wazubela collection came in to-day, and…
The bonus gift was an omikuji-- or paper fortune. In which, I now have Excellent Luck for this year.
(You can't really tell because I film with a potato, but it's written in half Japanese, half English).
And then, I got curious. I got to wondering just which shrine did this fortune come from?
First, obviously, it has to be a shrine in Kanagawa, and in the general area of Hiratsuka.
That narrows it down to three different shrines: Hiratsuka Hachimangu, Sakitori, and Sanada.
(Random fun fact: they are all in walking-distance of each other).
Well, if you look it up, it turns out that Sakitori is the most popular out of these three.
But, I couldn't find any information on whether they print their omikuji in English or not.
So, I checked Sanada. Again, no info.
And that left Hiratsuka Hachimangu.
And it turns out, they DO print fortunes in English!!!
So, if my hypothesis is correct, my omikuji most likely came from Hiratsuka Hachimangu Shrine!
And that's my detective work for this afternoon.

Inktober: The 31 Days of Vaati, Day #31: "A Few Spare Bricks"
"[epic guitar noises]"
(okay, this is an instrumental…)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Here we have Vaati and Octavo dressed as Belafu and Wazukyan from "Made in Abyss"!
This year's joyride is over. I don't know what I'll do next year, though. Maybe another concept album like this?
I dunno. Either way, this was really fun.
Random fun fact: this song is apparently called "Last Few Bricks", but I swear to god that it was called "A Few Spare Bricks". I don't know how I messed THAT one up… Ooops.
Song I was listening to when I drew this: "Last Few Bricks" by Pink Floyd.
