I feel like the manga maker went to a Yayoi Kusama art show featuring her penis-themed sculptures and decided to come up with his own version of her secret origin.

Yumeko Mochizuki is a 15-year-old girl who has become obsessed with seeing a penis in real life. She's not horny, mind you, she just really, really wants to see one. She learns about figure drawing with nude models and thinks a school art club might be her one big chance.

This is wildly inappropriate, and I often get prudish about manga with underage nudity, but I found myself drawn in by her drive and the comically ridiculous lengths to which is is willing to go to achieve her goal.

Weird but compelling.
