A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream
A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream (Manatsu no Yoru no Inmu, or Inmu for short) is a Japanese adult internet subculture. The subculture is known for its scatology, homoeroticism, BDSM overtones, and its videos being most likely subject to censorship and heavy editing in order to prevent deletion.
Background
The subculture came to the attention of the internet, following a scandal in 2002 when it was discovered Japanese baseball player Kazuhito Tadano (known simply as TDN in the Manatsu no Yoru no Inmu subculture) played one of the characters.
In the first chapter, TDN, DB, and HTN, cause a car accident by rear-ending a car carrying a Yakuza named TNOK. DB, driving the car, has his driver's license taken away. The three young men are taken to TNOK's office.
In the fourth chapter, Yajuu Senpai and Tono head to a house to settle down and relax on top of the building after discussing on what to improve Tono's skills and what to do on the roof. Yajuu Senpai and Tono strip down to their underwear. Yajuu Senpai goes to get drinks for him and Tono. Plotting to put Tono to sleep, Yajuu Senpai, roofies the tea with an unknown drug that knocks Tono out. Tono, waking up hours later, and strapped to a bed, is raped by Yajuu Senpai. Yajuu Senpai and Tono embrace after performing sex acts, and finally, kiss each other.
Yajuu Senpai, who would go on to be the most popular character in Manatsu no Yoru no Inmu, was introduced to Nico Nico Douga in 2008. Excavation projects would go on to have Yajuu Senpai also star in another similar gay adult film Labyrinth of Temptation, among others.
Various films from Coat Corporation and Acceed get added to the timeline of the Inmu subculture, which increases the amount of characters there are throughout the series.
Around Valentines Day of 2010, a collaborative Touhou voice drama was released under the name of "魔理沙とアリスのクッキーKiss" (Marisa and Alice's Cookie☆ Kiss☆, or Cookie☆ for short), it went unnoticed for a short while until fans of the Inmu subculture discovered it and noted it for being "so bad it's good" due to the terrible quality of its writing and the poor skills of the voice actors with the cheesiness of it all reminding them of their films, this spawned multiple MADs that bait and switch sources from Cookie☆ to Inmu which later made it more connected to Inmu and seperate from the Touhou series with more collaborative voice dramas coming along in the same vein of the original.
In 2011 a concert from 2000 featuring Gota Nishidera from NONA REEVES with YOU THE ROCK was posted to Nico Nico Douga, people quickly noted Gota's resemblance to Yajuu Senpai which caused him to be a part of the subculture, furthermore, the concert of them singing DJ! DJ! ~Todokanu Omoi~ and YOU THE ROCK's catchy catchphrase in the beginning ("Dynamo Kankaku! Dynamo Kankaku! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yeah!") were used in various MADs.
