Kuso Miso Technique (くそみそテクニック Kuso Miso Tekunikku?) is a one-shot homoerotic manga by Junichi Yamakawa (山川純一?) first published in a manga supplement of the gay magazine Barazoku in 1987. The short manga is a famous meme on the internet (Japanese internet forums especially), largely considered the representative work of Yamakawa and responsible for the revived popularity in his works.

[edit] Plot

Masaki Michishita, a "typical guy" enrolled in preparatory school, is running to the park washroom when he spots a man wearing a jumpsuit sitting on a nearby bench. The man, Takakazu Abe, then unzips his jumpsuit and exposes his penis, asking Masaki, "Well then, shall we do it?" (やらないか yaranaika?). They then proceed to the washroom and have sex.

When Abe is performing fellatio on Michishita, Michishita couldn't hold his bladder and accidentally urinated in Abe's mouth. Abe then suggested that Michishita should empty his bladder in Abe during anal sex, and Michishita did so. When it is Michishita's turn to be on the receiving end, Michishita let his rectum loose and defecated on Abe's penis, much to the dismay of Abe and the embarrassment of a middle-aged man walking by, who was overhearing their conversation.

[edit] Characters

  • Masaki Michishita (道下 正樹?)

A prep school student who had no sexual experience with men before, but fantasizes about them. He is strongly attracted to Takakazu Abe at first sight, prompting him to think "Yoohoo! Hot guy!" (ウホッ! いい男・・・ uho! ii otoko...?)

  • Takakazu Abe (阿部 高和?)

An auto mechanic. In the story, he sits provocatively on a park bench looking for sex. He is well experienced in homosexual sex and is considered to be well-endowed.

Interest in this manga outside of homoerotica circles sparked more than ten years after its first publication, as it was illegally posted on Ayashii World in 2002. There, the manga gained some interest for its surreal depiction of gay men and cheesy storyline.

In March 2003, pages of the manga were posted on Futaba Channel, triggering the so called "Yamajun boom" of interest in Junichi Yamakawa's works. At the same time, Shift JIS art of the manga produced on 2channel also contributed to the boom. Since then, lines from the manga such as "uho! ii otoko" and "yaranaika" became known as the "Yamajun language", which became popular internet slang. On Japanese forums and imageboards, the interjection "uho!", along with other lines from his manga, is often taken in a homoerotic context for the above reason.

Parody art of the manga, usually achieved by photoshopping the characters' orgasmic expressions onto other images, are often seen at various image boards.
