i love how steadily goh is winning over hearts with his 60 year old man swag, meanwhile mako and the rest of the gang are coming to terms with what hes missing out on

 

[GreenDude1]

There's no way he wouldn't know what Hunter x Hunter is. It's one of the most popular manga ever.

fuck off that's just oku hiroya on the last page

 

[Apothecary2]

I thought HxH had a relatively decent boomer audience

 

[Greepu]

Looks like things might be about to get a little meta

 

[Hiyawoffa]

Was that a self insert?

 

[Otakuprincess]

I feel like the story really slow down and not much is happening since she left home. Like obviously she’s not gonna get in the idle group. Especially without the ID. And it be weird for 60+ year-old to date like a high schooler. I was hoping for some Yuri loving, but that seem unlikely too.

Goh previously tried to become an idol to make Mako happy, and now they’re telling this guy to become an idol just so he can get out of their hair. This definitely says something, but I’m not sure what it is.

There's no way he wouldn't know what Hunter x Hunter is. It's one of the most popular manga ever.

I can’t believe that Goh is simultaneously a 60-year-old otaku AND a Fake Anime Girl. How does that work man

 

[caliche9700]

Thanks for the TL. How can you be into anime and manga and not know about hunter x hunter ? im also an old man and inve been reading HxH for the past like 15 years.

I don't know why Oku decided to close the gender bend drug plotline. but i guess it would be too similar to Gokudo girls if they all turned into woman.

Goh is supossed to be an Otaku, right? How does he not know about HxH? I'm pretty sure every manga fan has at least heard of it, let alone people like Goh who follow manga since centuries.

Oku looks more like Tera than that, but I'll cede if the guy is a manga author.

More than straight up otaku, the group seem to be more classical nerds. Also keep in mind they're 60, the stuff they're more familiar with is more the era Togashi would have read than wrote alongside. I do find it a little unrealistic myself, but I think it's just supposed to indicate Goh has more of a taste for the stuff that was around in his youth.

 

[Velificatio]

Am I the only one who read him not knowing HxH as a sign that Goh's old mind is starting to (inconsistently) slip away from him in his new body?

 

[malu]

i guess that for an old otaku like him, hunterxhunter is some generic shonenshit and not good enough for his refined taste.

it's just too commercial for him, and it's for babies ! grownups like mechas and alien girl in stripped bikini !

 

[Beastmanga]

HxH from 90s for goh to not know is a cap from the author.

 

[Gem-Bug]

We actually didn't learn much more about apartment-chan, but if she knows HxH, she's likely safe.

We've been away from the other uncles long enough that Mako's head looks extra-jarring. Bro's shaped like a root vegetable you don't pick at the grocery store.

 

[mrboxeater]

is sniffing boob sweat the equivalent of ball sniffing?

Seishun-kun was still running when Hunter x Hunter was released, though. And both Togashi Yasutaka (Seishun-kun's author) and Togashi Yoshihiro (Hunter x Hunter's author) are mangaka from the same generation. They are only 6 years apart in age, and Yoshihiro debuted only two years after Yasutaka.
