Mai-chan's Daily Life

Mai-Chan's Daily Life (Mai-chan no Nichijo) is one of the most widely-known (and infamous) works in the " guro" Hentai genre. Written by Waita Uziga in 2004, it became a subject of Memetic Mutation through 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica because of two scenes near the end which take High Octane Nightmare Fuel to unbelievable levels.

Mai is a sweet, attractive girl whose life is a living hell. Working as a slave for a cruel mistress, she spends her days toiling as a maid and her nights being raped and tortured by her mistress' wealthy clients. What makes this even worse is that Mai can regenerate any physical damage her body receives, even fatal injuries. Thus, she is routinely burned, bludgeoned, cut up, and otherwise ripped apart purely for the entertainment of various sadistic loons, in addition to the sexual tortures they put her through.

Needless to say, this is extremely NSFW. Additionally, if you have not and don't intend to read this series, and want to not cringe at the thought of sex, childbirth, and eating things out of blenders, DO NOT read behind the spoiler tags.

And remember: what has been watched cannot be unwatched.

This Manga provides examples of
death.
 * All There Is To Know About The Crying Game -- See Memetic Mutation.
 * Absurdly Sharp Blade -- One whole chapter revolves around these. It ends badly for.
 * Author Appeal -- All of Uziga's mangas, with one exception, are in the "erotic grotesque" (or "guro") genre which, in most cases, includes combining Gorn with Hentai. Mai-chan is not the exception.
 * Big Damn Heroes --
 * Blessed with Suck -- Mai and Kizuna.
 * Blind Idiot Translation -- "The flesh of yourself," among others.
 * Brother-Sister Incest -- Subverted; the only connection between Mai and Kizuna is that they both have the healing factor.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy -- Kizuna.
 * Cut Lex Luthor A Check -- Kaede owns two human beings who can't die, and can perfectly regenerate from almost any wound, almost instantly if organic material is on hand. Rather than trying to study these people in an attempt to learn the secret of immortality, allowing Kaede herself to become immortal, rich and (with her scruples) practically ruler of the planet...she rents them out as high-priced sex slaves.
 * Cruel And Unusual Death -- . 'nuff said.
 * Cursed with Awesome
 * Dead Baby Comedy -- And at one point,.
 * Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Think about it.
 * Evil Foreigner -- The President of "A" Country.
 * Eye Scream:
 * Mai, frequently.
 * , one time too many.
 * , in the final chapter.
 * Fan Disservice -- Any possible instance of Fan Service is undercut by everything else that's happening around it.
 * Fascists' Bed Time -- If Mai misses her curfew, Kaede sends a tiger to fetch her, with predictable results.
 * A Fate Worse Than Death:
 * The President threatens to have Mai taken back to his country to be used as a lab experiment.
 * Mai's life. Period. Her life is a never-ending series of torture and rape, which her child was destined for as well.
 * Mai does seem to be very happy in the end, oddly enough.
 * Gorn -- Oh yes.
 * Healing Factor -- Mai and Kizuna's bodies eventually regenerate any damage done to them, as long as there is at least some tissue left intact. The process isn't instantaneous, and can require a kickstart; in the first chapter, Kaede.
 * As a side effect, Mai's body also absorbs foreign organic matter, which effectively renders her barren....
 * Heroic BSOD -- Mai has one after death, to the point of amnesia.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard --
 * I Just Want To Be Normal -- I wonder why...
 * Im A Humanitarian --
 * Karma Houdini -- All of Mai's tormentors, except for.
 * Kill The Cutie -- Mai and Kizuna, over and over and over...except for that whole ultra-healing thing. And then there's
 * Laser-Guided Karma:
 * Made Of Plasticine -- Some of Mai's injuries evoke this.
 * Meido -- Mai's day job.
 * Mind Rape -- The way that Kaede forces Mai to deal with
 * Mood Whiplash -- Typical humorous anime expressions and effects are lightly sprinkled through the horrific Gorn and dismemberment.
 * Narm -- Especially the.
 * Omake -- At the end of the story, Kaede and Mai answer fan questions, and Kaede reveals what it would take to actually kill Mai permanently... and then demonstrates it.
 * Power Perversion Potential -- Deconstructed to the extreme.
 * Not necessarily. This is a guro manga, so it's aimed at people who get off on this kind of thing. To its target audience, the trope is played straight.
 * President Evil -- George Reitman, President of "A" Country.
 * Punny Name -- Although different kanji are used, "Waita Uziga" is a homophone for "maggots have sprouted".
 * Rape as Drama -- Played horrifically straight, several times.
 * Too Kinky to Torture -- Kizuna feels pain as pleasure.
 * Torture Cellar -- The basement of Kaede's mansion.
 * Who Wants To Live Forever -- Part of what Mai deals with on a daily basis.
 * You Fail Biology Forever -- Implausibility of the healing factor aside, some of the tortures inflicted on Mai would be physically impossible.
