I’ll admit to my lurking on here for many many years, what’s your main sort of technique for finding stuff, gleaming through manga to see what crops up?
Okay, I'm going to share some hopefully crazy stuff in this post. Specifically method #3, which almost anyone would have time for and nets fantastic results.
There are three major methods:
#1: Download Raw manga magazines/volumes from Raw sites and skim through them. This is the most time-intensive method, but also leads you to find things that may never be posted by anyone else.
#2: Find threads similar to this one on imageboards and Twitter. This is the laziest option, since you're just monitoring the efforts of others, but can still lead to some good finds.
#3: Use Google Image Search. This is my real secret weapon, since people don't seem to know that Google's image search tech has improved to the point that it can now read the words that appear in images, meaning you can search for any image that has the word "tickle" clearly written on it.
For example: the search tickle OR tickling OR ticklish OR tickles OR tickled site:mangabat.com gives you dozens of manga scenes as results.
You can get similar results using "こちょこちょ OR くすぐり OR くすぐったい" for Japanese sites and "挠脚心 OR 挠痒痒 OR 痒 OR 挠 OR 好痒" for Chinese ones. This works for basically any image-heavy site and condense hundreds of hours of searching down to a few minutes. I've found at least 100 scenes (that I haven't posted anywhere) using this method.
In exchange for this forbidden knowledge, which I will include in the first post of this thread, you are all now compelled to share your finds using this method here.
Happy 2021!
