: This paper analyzes the adult voice drama Tonari no Ano Ko wa Kikoku Chijo (RJ01020541) as a case study in how Japanese doujin media conflate overseas experience with sexual aggression in female characters. Drawing on scholarship of the kikokushijo identity and feminist media theory, it argues that the “returnee slut” trope functions as a safe fantasy for negotiating anxieties about Westernization, female mobility, and suburban transgression.

The findings suggest that such works serve both erotic and cultural containment functions.
