About
Metamorphosis (Henshin in Japanese), also known as Emergence and 177013, is a hentai manga by artist ShindoL, which gained much notoriety online for its depressing, grimdark storyline. The story is often referred to by the number "177013" in reference to its assigned page number on the hentai database nhentai.net.
History
Emergence originally ran from July 26, 2013, to March 26th, 2016. In November of 2016, the series was collected for digital publication in English under the title Metamorphosis.[1] The plot follows a teenage girl named Saki who transforms from a nerdy introvert into a drug-addicted, homeless prostitute.
Reception
On May 2nd, 2016, YouTuber lolicide uploaded a video titled "The Citizen Kane of Hentai" (shown below). Within 17 months, the video gathered upwards of 22,300 views and 170 comments. The video was since removed. On May 19th, a post about the Emergence was submitted to /r/hentai,[4] which described it "quite honestly the most depressing thing I've ever read."

Desk Exploitable
The Desk Exploitable is a panel from Chapter 3 of the series, wherein protagonist Saki returns to her school desk to find it vandalised with abusive language. It has been remixed in a number of ways, often to reframe the context as more positive, or even to refer to Toddposting.
