Konome Kiritani by Okayama Figure Engineering
Project details
If you’re a frequent reader of hentai manga the name Shiwasu no Okina may have crossed your path on more than one occasion. The artist’s style is unique in simplicity, bordering sloppy as proportions do vary, yet manages to capture the viewer’s attention. In one of his works from 2011, “Pisu Hame!”, we’re following kendo captain Konome Kiritani as she aids protagonist Tsukamu Tamao in managing a highly peculiar graduation album.
It would be a lie to say that I’m a fan of the works of Okayama Figure Engineering, a company that prides itself with suggestive figures of questionable quality. However, because of the way Shiwasu no Okina draws his work OFE do make for an interesting partner.
The posture and expression seen in Konome’s figure stems from art of the final chapter of Pisu Hame! in where the heroine is asked to strike a pose during intercourse. OFE made two versions of this particular figure where the differences lie in pre (smiling face, white socks) and post coitus (aroused face, slightly bent fingers on the right hand to simulate exhaustion, black socks).
There’s no castoff option per se, there is however an optional accessory being a semen puddle that may be placed accordingly.
OFE’s version of Konome does stay true to the art from the source material which makes this a decent figure overall.

I believe I’ve watched the anime adaptation for this and they did a good job carrying over that signature art style. First I’m hearing about OFE, but that’s probably because only two figures in my collection can be posed nude.

Agreed, both OFE and Studio 9 Maiami did a good job with Pisu Hame! although the sluggish animation from the latter left something to be desired. The manga is quite enjoyable and does feature crucial parts left out in the anime so it may be worth checking out.
Even though Okayama Figure Engineering are often present at various figure exhibits during the year I doubt their products will gain attention from the typical collector due to their very risque nature. Kiritani is rather tame if you compare to what they usually release.
Lord Frivolous
A question, please. Can this liquid erupting from her genitalia be attached to the figurine, or is it loose?
Nightmare
It’s a separate piece that you line up, it’s not attachable.
