Source-derived summary

Kuso Miso Technique (Japanese: くそみそテクニック) is a Japanese gay manga one-shot written and illustrated by Junichi Yamakawa. It was originally published in 1987 in Bara-Komi, a manga supplement of the gay men's magazine Barazoku. The manga depicts a sexual encounter between two men in a public restroom that is complicated by the need of one of the men to relieve himself. Published in Bara-Komi to relative obscurity, Kuso Miso Technique gained notoriety as an Internet meme in the early 2000s after scanned copies of the manga were posted on Japanese imageboards and online forums.

Plot

Masaki Michishita, a "typical guy" enrolled in preparatory school, is running to a restroom in a public park when he spots a man wearing a jumpsuit sitting on a nearby bench. The man, Takakazu Abe, unzips his jumpsuit and exposes his penis, asking Masaki, "Why don't we do it?" (やらないか, yaranai ka). They proceed to the restroom to have sexual intercourse.

Abe performs fellatio on Michishita, upon which Michishita informs him that he needs to urinate. Abe asks Michishita to take the dominant position in anal sex and urinate inside of him, which Michishita obliges. The pair switch positions, and Michishita informs Abe that he now needs to defecate.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kuso Miso Technique” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kuso, Miso and Technique provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2598639. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
