thumb|A pair of cosplayers who respectively cosplaying as Robin and Stelle from [[Honkai: Star Rail simulating the Kabedon scenario]] ' or ' (; , "wall", and , "bang") refers to the action of slapping a wall fiercely, which produces a loud sound, "don". One use of this phrase is to describe the action of slapping a wall as a protest in collective housing, such as condominiums, when the neighboring unit makes too much noise. Another use often appears in shōjo manga or anime when one character forces another against the wall with one hand or leans against the wall, making the "don" sound. This has become a popular tool to invoke the "clever move of confession" trope and for creating an intimate atmosphere.
== Origins == The term first appeared in 2008 when voice actor Ryōko Shintani described it as "lovely situation". It has been popularized in the shōjo manga L DK by author Ayu Watanabe; and in April 2014, the manga was adapted into a live-action film. Afterwards, the term started to become familiar to the public and has appeared in multiple shojo manga stories.
