Scott McCloud and HENTAI?!
0
So I have finished reading Scott McCloud's Understanding/Making/Reinventing Comics, and I started to notice that even hentai manga, while edgy to mainstream audiences, uses the same legitimate storytelling conventions of sequential art.
In Making Comics, a comic's storytelling clarity (and thus the reader's immersion) depends on the five choices in pic related.
How do doujins typically apply these five choices? Are there any artists known for their awareness and/or mastery of these concepts DESPITE deciding to focus on doujin? Imagine a Will Eisner of hentai... Is there/can there ever be such thing? At the very least, who has the sickest panel flows? Discuss.

I myself find the choice of Frame (#2) and Panel Flow (#5) to be the most interesting.
Because the artists want us to focus on the action over time as well as fire up our "arousal signals," panel frames and panel flows seemed to have combined and went on to show a hierarchy of size. Repetitive motions, x-rays, facial expressions tend to have smaller panels, whereas a single important pose takes up half a page or more, perhaps transcending panels altogether!
There should be a book called "Understanding Hentai"...

If anything, clarity and flow are MORE important in hentai/porn. If you're reading a superhero, it doesn't matter so much if a panel jangles and drops you out of immersion. Stories tend to be longer and there's plenty of time to get back in. If something kicks you out of flow in porn, that may be it, you may not get back into it before the end of the story/book.

You're giving porn way too much thought ('-_-)No such thing. Porn can be enjoyed without critical thinking, or you can analyse what makes some porn better than others. Different ways of enjoying.
