What in tarnation?

 

[q0099]

See, it's funny only because the main cast is (mostly) are cat girls. Otherwise it's just a regular danchi social drama.

 

[Angry_Panda]

Thanks for the  nightmares chapter!

 

[Serenata]

Oh wow we need to go back to the alpha timeline!
Oh they're playing Overwatch2 lol it used to be 6v6 with 2 tanks now is 5v5, Suguma must be Sigma (the tank), Mee is probably Mei or Mercy?

[mrboxeater]

did the author grow up in poverty? is that where he gets his inspiration from?

This was brilliant and beautiful. It accurately captures the reality of life for men in these circumstances. It even expresses the unique element of male camaraderie when they band together for a project (the mangaka and Old Man Yani). Really, the comedy and joy of the manga is cute useless (cat)girls, because as a species, we don't expect or need women to be anything. They exist in the male mindset (and often enough, in their own), to be cute and funny.
Useless men, however, are despicable and disgusting, and reading a manga about their lives would be so grating on the soul none of us would make it past the first few chapters.
Actually, if any of you read that gambler or failed golfer series, that has very similar vibes.

Okay, now swap the characters in this version of the manga to female. Not cute females with cat ears making funny noises, but the same level of debauchery as these men show. I don't see how that would improve their situation or the perception of it.
Yaniko is disgusting but she is tolerated, if not loved, by the cast and readers because she naturally acts cute, is physically attractive, female, and, most importantly, IS A CAT.

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Sir, this is a Wendy's

Tell that to mangakas doing behind-the-veil dropping metacommentray on their own series.

Actually, this is a good point as well. If the women were shown as being typical of the "ugly poor" we definitely would not empathize (or would really struggle to). Franken-Fran's author occasionally shows a "grotesque" example of a woman (an ugly, poor, old one), and it's remarkable the effect such realism has on our ability to empathize with them.

I think the intense self-loathing and fear that arises though wouldn't trigger, because again, male readership don't read "failure" into a woman who is "not accomplishing" anything, but we do read failure into men. If I used the movie "Requiem for a Dream" as an example, while we feel bad for the ever-attractive Jennifer Connelly getting used by her boyfriend and drug-dealer, our feelings towards her are "wanting to save the princess", whereas with the male drug user characters, the feelings are "quite being a loser! Come on man! This is awful!"

I think the readership here probably resonate (and feel worry) more with the overweight, sexually frustrated apartment manager than the cat girls.

Who...is the catatonic long haired woman supposed to be? Landlord-chan?

That's not a woman, it's just a dude with long hair. Also, that's Yaku, the guy with dyed hair in this one is Kansai

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

Lmao...

It would take an exceptionally ugly woman for society to not empathize with her. As for low social/economic status, for women that's irrelevant at best.

 

[Fugutron]

lol that manga plot is basically Dungeon Meshi

They are out there! You just have to pay attention, and then regret it, immediately.
