Typo on page 11: " and helped a village ta develop " > and helped a village to develop "

This manga is soo good, but sadly it isn't very popular here. People prefer edgy stuff like Solo Leveling.

@Pen3

Keep heart.
Some of these suddenly get discovered after they have been around for a while.

Different audiences I guess, but I like it. Thanks for the releases

@Pen3
I think people will eventually gravitate towards manga like this if it manages to keep a dedicated audience, which I think it will.

Alot of people just dont want to hop on a series like this, especially given the author's rather infamous slow pacing and heavy reliance on cliffhangers. Billy bat didnt have much of a viewership either but at the very least it was a fantastic manga

Woah, that was a good twist, Asa pulled it and seems she exchanged the drugs for the plane...JEJEJJE

This manga is amazing, as the title say, imitating a morning drama in anime form.

Outside Japan Naosawa's works tend to become popular after completing serialization. The most obvious example of this was Monster. It's also not true that he has slow pacing. His seminal works (Yawara! and Master Keaton) were fast-paced and episodic, so Naosawa can do just about all ranges of storytelling.

Asadora is actually paced really fast like Master Keaton. Asa's kidnapping ended in only three chapters vs. similar mysteries that would drag it into at least half an arc. This is only chapter 13 and our girl already learned to fly a plane and blackmail a corrupt businessman. Plus we already know for sure that there's a kaiju swimming around, instead of 20CB's lame-ass fake giant robot. We just feel it's slow-paced because we got teased with the kaiju's promised public appearance decades in the future, so we expect a long grind towards that conclusion.

@nutjob
isn't that just her talking with some kind of accent?

 

[friendly]

What a terrible and wonderful birthday. Looking forward to watching this manga develop- I always wondered what it must have been like watching something like Monster or 20th Century Boys develop from update to update.... how fantastic!

 

[Pyoro]

... why not just take the gun and shoot her? ^^;

@reddog
I thought it was a typo; unfortunately i don't have a raw to check, so i assumed it was a mistake and didn't consider an accent or dialect.

 

[Bracketier]

@nutjob, yeah, it's meant to be dialect. We've used "ta" in place of "to" numerous times throughout the series so far.

@sssr Good comment

 

[Bracketier]

Regarding the pace like @sssr was talking about, we know this is going to be a long series. Likely in chapter count, and definitely in publication time. His main series tend to be around 20 volumes, and at the current release pace of 8 chapters over 4 months, then a hiatus between volumes, that means only around two volumes a year.
Asadora has only spanned about, 18 hours in the first volume and a half, not counting flash-backs and flash-forwards. Compare that to first few volumes of pretty much any other Urasawa series, which tend to cover several weeks. We've got a lot of action and danger right off the bat! And we know that there's still at least 61 years of story to cover. No matter what happens, I'm excited to see where it goes!

I thought the suspense was gonna kill me! Thanks for uploading the next chapter 🙃

 

[nutjob]

@Bracketier Got it.

 

[Nivek]

I think people should try to see more into the title, asadora, aka a morning drama, ie this manga is emulating a japanese soap opera and in a way...this very evenly paced, even with the hiatus and the kaiju/godzilla tease, the rest taking away that...still was very fast pace how Asa solved her troubles.
