I suppose I should write something here. I mean, I write these babbling descriptions for items that already have them, so . . ..

So, this is 露出妻麗子, which can be translated to Roshutsuzuma Reiko (Reiko The Exposed Wife), or Exposure wife Reiko (if you wanted to do the direct Google translate version; well, with everything else that's in the title as in the same translate box; with just the title it translates to Exposing his wife Reiko, which is completely wrong in that 1) it's not show more the husband exposing the wife; 2) the husband, when he is actually around, keeps telling the wife to "dress more your age", which, in case anyone needed more, means more covered up).

露出妻麗子 is a Japanese graphic novel (manga) that came out over several years beginning in 2004 or something around there. The combined collection came out in 2006.

So, the story. Reiko is a housewife in Japan. Her husband is super busy, almost never around, and, as mentioned above, when he is around, he likes to keep telling his wife to put more clothing on.

Bored and wishing for companionship, Reiko reaches out to an organisation. This occurred before the start of the comic, so I'm not exactly sure what happened. Or what exactly the organization is about. Hmms. I just spelled organization two different ways. The organization is/was some kind of "phone dating" thing, though the back story given just shows Reiko putting herself into compromising positions an being photographed in them. Well, the story opens with this organization blackmailing Reiko into continuing her "training."

It's a somewhat passive blackmail in that Reiko could decide to not give in, but she kinda really wants to continue, especially when she hears that voice on the phone. Loses her ability to resist.

So, basically the story unfolds with the woman embarrased and put into compromising positions. Several other women join the "training" here and there.

I've read enough comics and prose/text fiction to know that if I had read this instead of "seen" it laid out in comic form, I'd probably be quick to become angered and pissed off. It's not that I am always that way with non-comic versions, nor that I'm always appreciative of the comic version. It's just "easier" for me to "take" in comic form. Not always. There have been several comic versions of this type of thing that I've given low ratings to, and a few in text only format that I've given high ratings to. show less
