"Dogeza: I Tried Asking While Kowtowing" is a Japanese sex comedy manga series created by Kazuki Funatsu. It was originally published as a webcomic on Funatsu's Twitter account starting in March 2017, and later published by Kadokawa Shoten in two tankōbon volumes. The series follows Suwaru Doge, a man who bows in the dogeza position before young women, asking them to show their underwear or breasts. The story focuses on the women's reactions to his requests, which include astonishment, embarrassment, and confusion. The manga is praised for its first-person perspective and visuals, but has also been criticized for its writing. It has also been adapted into two novels, a live-action film, and a series of anime shorts that aired from October to December 2020. The anime was censored during broadcast, but the censorship was removed for the Blu-ray release. The anime featured ending artwork by various artists, including Funatsu himself. While the series was popular in Japan, it was less well-received internationally.
