@SpiderGames Not in the slightest. Ichikawa's looks with the haircut goes back to Shigeru Mizuki's Kitaro from Gegege no Kitaro. It has nothing to do with Adolf H.

@Frozeneye The mangaka is a woman, there's no need for gender neutral pronouns. So far, the change in artstyle doesn't bother me in the slightest. The earlier art was reminiscent of Mitsudomoe and Rororo being that it fitted more the comedy side of the manga. It has evolved now into a more...

@brandonvu1997 I guess you discovered BokuYabai not too long ago (from last summer/fall the most). I've read Boredom Society's translation since summer 2019 and I don't remember their chapters being super awkward to read, certainly not like those from that guy who popped out of nowhere a half...

@theStamos The author is a woman.

@roseofquartz @xxkyou Actually, lifelong job careers have never quite been the norm in Japan, except among white collar workers who worked for bigger companies in the 3rd sector, and the number of japanese workers in lifetime employment has been on the decrease since the burst of the economic...

@MangaMonger Stuff happens as early as chapter 1. It's not like nothing happens in the beginning. People just need to adjust their expectations.

@livesofflight. It can't be a coincidence since the author publishes her manga in Weekly Shounen Sunday like Adachi has done with most of his titles since the 70s. It must be an hommage tohim, and it's a nice one.

@livesofflight I was thinking the same. This chapter heavily reminded me of Adachi Mitsuru's works, especially with the old man's design and how the chapter ends with such a cliffhanger and the characters' reactions.

I'm looking forward to the chapter with the other kitchen boy realizing that Kenta and Momohana are childhood friends.

@miyako19 Actually, more than 90% of japanese middle schoolers go to highschool and only a low percentage of teenagers take an apprenticeship.

@Piyush123 It's just you.

This exchange is so cringeworthy it's a joy to read. Can you imagine how hard Ichikawa and Yamada are blushing out of shame right now? Hilarious!

@mcimba42 Are you skiing in Dubai's ski hall, lol? ... No, seriously, I can't speak for Ore, but I live in Switzerland and almost everybody wears a helmet nowadays.

@twinklecake I grew up in a touristic ski area and I didn't wear a helmet, but that was a long time ago. There are now more people than ever on the ski slopes and not wearing a helmet in this traffic isn't very smart.

Having Nishitaka being shy and flustered when his wife teases him & displays affection towards him has nothing to do with Japan's or Asia's view on sex or intimacy. It's just the premise of this spin-off and always will be. Instead of constantly complaining about this premise and/or making the...

Nice, Ichikawa starts to become more confident and assertive in his relationship with Yamada.

@macroblitz I don't know if you haven't realized it yet after 58 chapters, but this manga isn't story driven, it's character driven. You can skip the extra chapters, but you'd miss some fun little details which are, in some way or another, tied to the main chapters (f.e. extra chapter 55.2...

Koto's in shock. That's why she's freezing up. It's not rocket science, seriously.

@artdeer I don't feel an abrupt shift in genre like you do. This manga has been first and foremost a gag manga rather than a romcom, especially in the beginning. The gags are still there, it's just that the *rom*com aspect has gotten more and more important over the course of its run, which is...

@artdeer Developping real romantic feelings between two people is a gradual process, and this manga is one of the few ones I know which pulls it off rather realistically, but if you're looking for some key moments in deepening their (romantic) relationship, there are plenty to find. The one...
