We don't have a proper "cupping" tag that is about the technique, dammit.

Edit: thank you for adding the proper tag.

Danbooru: We have a tag for that™.

Directly on the skin? I thought those were used on the needle's head and just the heat is irradiated into the body.

Moxa is (traditionally) placing burning mugwort directly onto the skin, there's no cups or anything, it's basically just incense plopped onto you.

does that mean the "you do it wrong" tag is... wrong?

In this instance? Hamakaze is actually doing it right. At least it's somewhat less dangerous than acupuncture. Still might wanna finish that correspondence course before using someone as a test subject, though.

She's doing the technique right according to its own rules, but she's unclear on what the technique actually is. One does wonder why Akigumo thought it made sense to take her shirt off and lie down for aromatherapy, though.

For the same reason that in television, a character will say, "I have a good idea!" and then smash cut to characters in stupid costumes, and only once the camera is rolling again, THEN ask (for the audience) what the plan is.

Rule of the internet.

If Danbooru doesn't have a tag for that, make the tag for that. No exception.

Given the empty stare in the first panel, she was probably just that tired.

The "you're doing it wrong" is for the aromatherapy part.

Hamakaze training to be a professional masseuse or something?

I'd marry her for that alone. And Ooi, because she's Ooi

What next?
Wet cupping?

Akigumo becomes the subject of her own h-manga.

Hamakaze never said it was aromatherapy. She just said it had something to do with incense. Akigumo just thought it was aromatherapy and jumped the gun.

What Hamakaze did there is no sentosa though.
