With succubus through the ages!
Demons called succubus have been known to mankind for years. Their name comes from Latin, where succuba means concubine. Their descriptions can be found in medieval times. They were depicted as beautiful women with alluring shapes, with horns, hooves and a tail. They could visit the chosen ones in their dreams or meet them “in real life”. Interestingly, they were usually male and changed gender only for the purposes of their work. What was their task? Well, they haunted men in their dreams, encouraged them to have intercourse, and then collected their semen and passed them to the incubus, which later used them to fertilize women. Such demonic in vitro. In addition, they were able to drain the life energy from their victims, as well as take over their souls. There is a theory that the first succubus was Lilith, one of Lucifer’s seven wives.
The figure of a succubus strongly inspired the next generations. Their sculptures appeared as early as in the 16th century, and placing such a figure in front of the inn meant that there was also a brothel there. In 1605, this character appeared in a play by Thomas Middleton, Mad World, My Masters . Later they wrote about them, inter alia Honoré de Balzac, Stephen King, Orson Scott Card, Stephenie Meyer and Andrzej Sapkowski. These demons also appeared on the screen, and we could see them, for example, in Ghostbusters , The Ninth Gate , Suicide Squad , X-Files , South Park or the Charmed Ones.They are also often found in manga and anime and comics (one succubus is even Deadpool’s wife). The Rolling Stones, Eminem, Cradle of Filth and The Ramones sang about them. They are also close to the players paper Dungeons & Dragons and the fans of Diablo , Devil May Cry , Heroes of Might and Magic , The Witcher and , World of Warcraft or Lineage II .
As you can see, succubus has been inspiring numerous artists for years and appearing in the world of pop culture. Their subject also interested a certain Gentsuki. Thanks to this, a one-volume manga was created, which, thanks to the Waneko publishing house, hit the Polish market.
Not so scary succubus …
Lily has been working for years as a demon that extracts life energy from people. Due to staff shortages, there has been no respite for some time. Subsequent overtime hours make her tired. One day he comes across Tsutomu, a young man who has also long forgotten what a day off is, not to mention a vacation. Knowing them leads to something neither side could have expected.
Succubus as a teacher?
Succubus and her hard work in the corpo! This is a one-volume manga by Gentsuki (the creator signs only with a pseudonym). Initially, it was published on the website in the form of short stories. In the end, it was decided to collect them all and put them on paper. This is how the book was created, which consists of 23 short stories spanning 210 pages. The title is classified as ecchi, that is, a style with a lot of erotic overtones and indirect sexual content. And that is correct, but not entirely. First of all, the main character, the succubus Lily, in fact shows almost all the time her ass covered only with a narrow strip of material and breasts with only the nipples covered. Her colleagues are also eager to show their charms, but the most sensitive points are covered. Anyway, the author focuses the most on the qualities of the ladies. The entire comic was created in black and white, it lacks background details, some frames only show speech bubbles or characters flexing towards us. On top of all this, of course, there is also Tsutomu, the main male character, but he is wearing a full set of clothes all the time. The history also includes a few dirty texts and innuendo. However, there are few of them. Only initially, Lily makes immoral propositions to a man, which he not only effectively rejects, but even does not understand them. Instead of having fun with the girl in bed, he prefers to use her as … a console game partner! Our hero shows his noble and slightly naive face all the time. The succubus behaves in a similar way, and her friends quickly show that they have little demon and more kindness and compassion. The author also does not want to ignite our senses in any special way, but to convey a few simple and important messages. We are to see that work is not everything, and at the same time understand that it is worth helping others and striving to make your dreams come true. It would seem that it is a bit like in fairy tales for children, who are just learning to live. Of course, due to the manga’s artistic value, it is not intended for the youngest audience. It is adults who have to remember what is important in life – just like Tsutomu and Lily did.
Succubus, come back!
Succubus and her hard work in the corpo! is an extremely nice story with a moral in the background. Although after the cover it might seem that we are dealing here with a comic with a strong erotic tinge, the reality is different. We have a simple but valuable message here. There is also a large dose of humor, from which we will not laugh, but certainly keep smiling under our breaths. We will also quickly like the heroes and cheer them on, although we will easily discover what the author is trying to achieve. The graphic side does not knock you on your knees, but if someone wants to look at the buttocks and necklines, and not the interior design, they will be pleased. It is a pity that the plot itself is incomplete. The ending does not bring a solution, and since it is a single-volume one, we can only guess what happened next. Although maybe Gentsuki will be tempted to continue?
