Metamorphosis (Emergence) was a masterpiece. I have yet to see another hentai donjon that really deconstructs the elements that makes the genre tick. Spoiler alert: Everyone was guilty. Even you, the reader.

The best hentai is essentially Lovecraftian, plots framing pleasure as beyond human comprehension, exposure to which is a direct slope to addiction and insanity.

The ending is certainly tragic, however the circumstances met in order for the things ending up the way they did were thoroughly retarded.

A middle school nerdy girl gets corrupted a drug dealer that she meets at a karaoke bar, gets her hooked on drugs and pimps her out. Everything goes downhill, her father rapes her, she gets thrown out onto the streets, she has sex with ugly bastard salarymen for money while her addiction spirals, gets an abortion, then her drug dealing boyfriend kicks her out of the apartment when she gets pregnant again. She decides to quit her lifestyle and gathers money for her and her baby until one day bunch of high school students mug her and beat her up, and she dies in a public bathroom from an overdose. You should read it thought, it's one of the most important sagas of our time, a genuine deconstruction and satire on the corruption/drugs/mindbreak fetish subgenre.

the cover is of a dielectrically broken glass that creates a Lichtenberg figure, it's uhh, fuck.

When you have a voltage applied to a dielectric material (insulator) there's a random chance that, within a specific voltage range, the insulator will break down, and a discharge will occur, it's the same thing that happens with a lightning strike, it's just that some experiments were run on glasses and cool patterns emerged as electron lines coursed through the glass seeking the shortest path,
