So is this an actual soapland running an advertisement?
It sure is! There's uh, a surprising amount of these out there, actually. Lots of erotic service industry businesses have been posting promotional comics like these on their websites to bring customers in as of late. And they even commission notable artists to depict their cast members! Who knew that soaplands could double as erotic manga publishers these days? What a time to be alive!

My understanding was always that they were a lot more, uh, underground.

Actually no, soaplands operate openly using a legal loophole. It's technically not unlawful prostitution if sex occurs between 'acquaintances', even if money is exchanged for it.
Hell, the current name "soapland" was decided by a nationwide contest.

That's what I thought! But apparently not only do they have incredibly elaborate websites complete with comics and videos, most of them even have incredibly active, not even remotely hidden social media accounts. If you're not following and subscribing to your favorite soapland(s) on Twitter and YouTube, are you truly a fan?

Adding on to that, openly paying for non-coital sex between complete strangers is entirely legal. All of these websites will show the pricing for fellatio, paizuri, tekoki, and anal, and whatever else is offered there, most even including a list of cast members with accompanying photos, bios, and their availability. They're kinda like restaurant webpages? Except replacing the food listing with sex acts and being able to request your order from a complete roster of available chefs? It's basically run like a completely ordinary business. Kinda mind-blowing!
