Really wonderful ending. I love the idea of bookending his appearance in Kaiji. In Kaiji, he was just scum, we rooted for his downfall, and reveled in it. Then we read this, we see the vulnerable and confused man before he was scum, we sympathize with him, we feel bad for how he was left in...

Lovely chapter, good job to Ootsuki for getting in touch with his feminine side. We've only got one life, there's no sense avoiding things you'd like for silly reasons like "masculinity".

What a poetic and powerful chapter... I was blown away by Murakami simply accepting Ichijou's request without any other questions or complaints, but I think it really represents their relationship well. Murakami knows when Ichijou is insecure, or scared, or otherwise really needs him. And he...

We're heading into such a tragic climax... but by having his freeter life end on such a high note, it's preserved forever as this shining happy memory. It really informs how we see him act in Kaiji.

It really is a bop :)

Very excited to see how Ichijou will end up in this role from this position... it feels like we've shifted more into a "typical" FKMT plot of intrigue, deception, and desperation.

Really sinister chapter! I love how Kurosaki is depicted. How will Ichijou end up changing his mind before the climax?

Ahh, I can remember having these sorts of endless youthful debates at this age... Nowadays I just don't think these big topics matter so much, I guess. Like they can be interesting and fun to discuss, but I don't think having some strong opinion that you need to defend on something so...

Ichijou is going to [bleep] him? :oops:

An interesting contrast to the Ichijou chapter about summer, lol. Instead of discourse about the value of summer, a struggle to achieve the opportunities of summer through the challenges. I think it's a good microcosm of the two series: Ichijou battles his pretenses and preconceptions to be able...

It's an extra melancholy chapter cause you know that, despite the wholesome well-rounded memories he's building and emotions he's tapping into... he's gonna end up the prince of scum working in Teiai's casino :(

Hooray hooray! Good luck with the final volume! A very profound chapter here... it's very difficult to see yourself as other see you, but it can be very enlightening. I'm also worried about getting old and being too belligerent and ignorant to be out and about as much as I am now, but worst case...

Ty for the chapter and the very informative notes and video! What's up with the "Timely Wakeup Device" she mimicks on page 3?

Oyabu gonna end up just as busted up as he pretended to be...

Very curious how they'll transition out of this (extremely brief) Covid arc. I'm eager to see more restaurant adventures, but I was looking forward to more exploration of how the labour camp managed so cooped up. Happy they're all still food-motivated. btw, the dish mentioned on the last page...

It's weird that reading this is so nostalgic for me now, the start of the pandemic feels so long ago now. Very relatable feelings. I feel like the previous chapters' enthusiasm for all of these activities actually nicely coincided with my own enthusiastic rediscovery of "outings" in the last...

Fortunately all the cringest stuff from my earliest youth was on a forum that got super deleted forever. It's bittersweet, but probably for the best that it's all in the past. I had another blog that I wrote in semifrequently until relatively recently, but it's all just rambling about anime and...

I loved that the dad joke at the end was so bad it got a "ZAWA" lol. Glad the foreman recognized that he was getting more conservative about new foods and sought to counteract it. I think we naturally do that as we get older, so we need to counterbalance it with some deliberate adventurousness :)

Oh nice nice, I follow AEW mostly with my bf. He also likes some JP promotions a lot, STARDOM is prolly his favorite joshi promotion if you've heard of that. The Hana Kimura incident was so sad...

Paru-sensei is going so far with this one, I love it. I never would have guessed this would make it to 12 volumes if I didn't already know.
