# Emergence Metamorphosis Emergence Metamorphosis is a grimdark hentai manga by Japanese artist ShindoL, better known online by its nhentai catalog number 177013. The 2013 to 2016 series became a running reference across 4chan, Reddit and anime meme communities for its bleak storyline about a teenage girl's downfall. ## Overview Emergence Metamorphosis is a Japanese hentai manga by artist ShindoL, widely referred to online by its nhentai catalog number 177013[5]. The story follows a bookish teenage girl named Saki Yoshida whose life collapses into drug addiction, homelessness and prostitution over the course of the book[1]. That downward arc made it stand out from typical adult manga and turned it into a shorthand reference in English-speaking hentai and anime meme circles[5]. Much of the online conversation around 177013 treats reading it as a dare or rite of passage, with users warning newcomers about how bleak the ending gets[4]. Image macros pairing Saki's cheerful early character design with her deteriorated later appearance became one of the most reposted visual formats tied to the manga[3]. ## How It Spread On May 2, 2016, YouTuber lolicide uploaded a video titled "The Citizen Kane of Hentai," which pulled roughly 22,300 views over the following 17 months before being taken down[5]. Two weeks later, on May 19, a post on r/hentai called the manga "quite honestly the most depressing thing I've ever read," and the recommendation helped push it toward wider Western audiences[4]. On June 5, a thread about the story appeared on 4chan's /h/ board, followed by more discussion threads across the year[2]. On December 25, 2016, FunnyJunk user aznzeus posted an image macro called "A Very ShindoL Christmas" that placed Saki's before-and-after portraits side by side[3]. The before-and-after format kept getting reworked on Reddit and imageboards through 2017 and 2018, cementing 177013 as an in-joke number rather than a title[5]. On November 24, 2018, Reddit user questicles-2199 posted a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure crossover alternate ending called "I'm Gonna Fix That Girl," in which Josuke Higashikata heals Saki with his Stand and the story flashes forward to her raising a child[6]. Redditor quuetzal answered with a "Carefully He's a Hero" macro praising ShindoL on r/animemes the same week[7]. The fan ending was later uploaded to nhentai as entry 265918 on March 13, 2019[6]. ## How to Use People typically invoke Emergence Metamorphosis by dropping the number "177013" into a conversation instead of naming the manga, often as a warning or a dare to another user. The common visual convention is a two-panel before-and-after edit comparing Saki's early cheerful design with her later look, sometimes swapped onto other characters for shock effect[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Emergence Metamorphosis?
