Drawings Featuring Thigh “Spillovers”

Most of you on pixiv have probably heard of zettai ryōiki, aka the “absolute territory.” Folks, may we present to you a lesser-known but just as alluring thigh + clothing combination, momopuku! For those who aren’t familiar with this term, momopuku (ももぷく, lit. “thigh bulge”) is a phenomenon that occurs when you wear extremely fitting shorts, thigh-high socks, or garters. This slight spillover can create an adorable “muffin top” on your thighs, and many illustrations emphasize this to up the moe factor or make their characters seem more approachable.

What do you think of momopuku? Do you find it more charming than zettai ryōiki, or are you a fan of both?
