16 April 2026 Abstract The Japanese adult‑comic (hentai) market frequently appropriates exotic geographies to stage fantasies of fertility, abundance, and bodily excess. This paper offers a close reading of the hentai manga Valle de la Fertilidad (2023), a work that blends the visual lexicon of Argentine agrarian myth with the narrative conventions of erotic manga. By situating the text within three scholarly strands—(1) the “fertility‑landscape” trope in Japanese visual culture, (2) the representation of Latin‑American space in Japanese popular media, and (3) the semiotics of erotic visuality in contemporary hentai—we demonstrate how the manga simultaneously exoticises the Argentine Pampas, reinforces gendered notions of reproductive power, and re‑configures the “valley” as a site of both ecological and sexual abundance. The analysis shows that Valle de la Fertilidad functions as a cultural palimpsest, revealing the transnational circulation of fertility symbolism and the ways adult manga negotiate globalized imaginaries through erotic spectacle. Keywords Hentai, fertility, landscape, Argentina, Pampas, exoticism, visual semiotics, transnational media, erotic manga. 1. Introduction The term hentai (変態) denotes a broad spectrum of Japanese adult comics that blend explicit sexual content with diverse narrative genres (Kinsella, 2000). While scholarship has traditionally focused on the genre’s gender politics, narrative structure, or its role within otaku subculture (McLelland, 2005; Galbraith, 2019), relatively little attention has been paid to how hentai appropriates non‑Japanese geographies to stage its erotic fantasies.

In Chapter 3, a close‑up of a —its water rendered as a glossy, translucent pink—flows beneath a pair of lovers. The narration reads: “The river’s current mirrors the pulse of desire, each wave a surge of life.” The river functions as a mythic sign (Barthes) linking natural fertility (irrigation) with sexual fertility. 4.2 Gendered Representations of Reproductive Power The female characters in Valle de la Fertilidad possess hyper‑fertile bodies : swollen bellies, engorged breasts, and abundant hair (often depicted as “silky corn stalks”). These traits align with the shōjo (young woman) trope of “bounty” in shunga (Matsui, 2010). However, the manga simultaneously subverts this by granting agency to the women; they are agronomists, landowners, and the ones who “plant” the sexual encounters.
