I’d be happy to! So there’s been an interesting connection between pornography and anatomical diagrams for a very long time. My research was specifically on the Enlightenment in Europe, but you can find examples dating back to the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. There are a number of “pinups” that were made blending the erotic and the medical, with the subject wearing a coy, coquettish expression while literally baring everything to the viewer. When I say everything, it’s very similar to what you’ve done here: they hold up flaps of skin and show off their internal organs, bone structure, etc. There were even “political cartoons” lampooning this trend.
!!!! This is so cool, thank you so much for sharing! Super interesting to read. And very fun to see images from the past that are literally….the same concept, amazing
This is Asobi Asobase. And this is literally the entire anime, just girls releasing chaotic energy and while sometimes showing off the best goddamn slap stick I’ve ever seen.
