Chichonmanchi

Chiya Minakami lived a remarkable life, dedicating herself entirely to medicine until her passing at the age of ninety-two. Her extraordinary humanitarian efforts abroad even earned her the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet, as she stands before King Enma awaiting passage through the gates of heaven, a startling truth comes to light: despite her worldly achievements, Chiya never experienced romance and remained a virgin her entire life. Deemed spiritually incomplete, she is banished to Chichonmanchi—a bizarre, paradise-like underworld teeming with peculiar flora and fauna characterized by distinctly phallic features. Upon arriving in this surreal realm, every inhabitant's body is restored to its youthful prime, and clothing is strictly forbidden. Though Chiya now possesses the physique of a young woman, her mind remains rooted in the conservative values of the Meiji era, matched only by her legendary stubbornness. To finally earn her ascent to the heavens, she must overcome her rigid principles and experience a lifetime’s worth of love and pleasure all at once. A wildly inventive erotic comedy unlike any other, the series was reissued in 2004 across four volumes under the title Tengoku e no Kaidan, featuring newly revised artwork.
