This chapter was probably my favorite so far. There's just something magical when you meet a person who's into the same kind of stuff you are. That's how lasting relationships are formed.

I met my best friends through the university anime club many moons ago. I also got into in the first place Japanese from all the anime I watched when I was growing up. It has taken over my life :')

We did it boyos, it took 6 volumes but we've had a Jojo reference! I'm gonna show them posing to my friends and tell them this is from Jojo part 9

Also this reminds me of Tonegawa spinoff chapter about his own book, but whereas there it's from a perspective of complaining about your publisher - here it's a cry for help for the industry as a whole. My sides went into orbit when spinoffs were brought up, I wonder if it's a friendly jab at Fukumoto himself?

Oh absolutely. A lot of the subject matter in the manga is what he thinks IRL

Reading this chapter felt weirdly sentimental

Seems like you need to have manga brain rot in order to be a foreman in the underground mines
