I remember a good pal of mine like that, he actually looked like that, messy hair, trashy clothes, cigarette smoking, sunglasses wearing, jacket using weirdo.... I had a drink with him, and yeah hasn't changed a bit.
However, was the use of text-speak instead of spelling it properly done on purpose? That 'u' instead of 'you' broke my immersion. Does the og version also have text-speak in dialogue?
Nah, it is written in proper japanese like most seinen manga out there. It's @polygen that keep editing the script like that. I'll try to chip in your suggestion to him!
