Huh, Red Hood’s author bounced back quickly it seems, cool for him.

At this point Shugomaru is pretty much better of as a Yugioh fanfic.

Witch Watch: So Nico created a friend zone curse?

Akane-banashi: Actually know this one, though I only became familiar with it through this:

I know that one from Joshiraku. I’m curious to hear the full story.

It’s funny then mentioning Jugemu is rarely performed because that’s the only one I watched live.

The other ones knew before were Manju Kowai because I was an actor for a play of it on a community event, and Sanbou Ichiryouson because Ooka Echizen came up in the research for my graduation thesis.

Huh, Super Smartphone seems way better than I expected! Kinda like a Death Note without the edginess and the Villain Protagonist angle. I hope it can stay interesting after the initial novelty is over!

I remember in grade school, we read a story that probably wasn't exactly Jugemu, but I now know as too similar to be a coincidence. (The bit was only the first of two sons had the long name, which made it take dangerously long to find help in an emergency until the second son wised up and just called him "my brother".) I vaguely remember the book saying the story was Chinese, rather than Japanese—but it was from lit book from the 90s, so it could have easily been an amalgamation of numerous sources.

What language did you watch it in? Because the point was Popcultural Osmosis giving away the gag specifically to a Japanese audience.

Q's deduction that a bunch of other people have these phones as well makes it sound more like Future Diary. (And I've heard people say the same about Platinum End, which the author of Death Note later wrong.)

Tikki Tikki Tembo. Written by a white lady who vaguely remembered hearing Jugemu as a kid

Actually remember that book.

That's it.

Japanese. In an actual Japanese venue in Fukuoka. Even with the large and engaged Nipo-Brazilian community in the Western Amazon, we don't have live rakugo performances here. The only Brazilian rakugoka is in São Paulo, as far as I know.

Red Hood author making new oneshot? I hope he never gives up on muscular women.

-sigh- Lost passwords...

Huh, seems like Marriagetoxin is gonna feature slightly more supernatural powers? I mean, Gero is already superhuman but that Ushio-chan is apparently a straight-up waterbender.

Akane-banashi has its own thread now. So does Earthchild for that matter.

---

Super Smartphone seems like it's going pretty quickly into different people using the superphones against each other. That's fine, given it's hard to sustain conflict otherwise, but I do hope there are more asymmetrical stories (like Q trying to hide from the cops).

Marriagetoxin takes a very battle-shonen turn this week. It’s a cool battle but I hope the romcom incompetence doesn’t take too much of a backseat.

Goodbye Ayashimon. Not too surprise since the writing was already on the wall for awhile now. Next series to go probably Shugomaru.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

Huh… I did not expect Roboco to get an anime, at least not so soon. Being a gag manga helps I guess.

Brand new familiar in Witch Watch and it’s adorable.

Lots of personality packed into that little thing, yeah.

Super Smartphone has shown us the bad guy. Let the battle of wits begin. Also cute how MC said he’s willing to marry his childhood friend. Good for you, girl.

I just find it amazing that Me and Roboco managed to parody itself.

Marriagetoxin 7… Okay, I already like Himekawa. Running away without any bodyguard would probably have been a bad idea anyway…

To no one surprise, Mamore! Shugomaru end in this week issue.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

Welp, Earthchild had better start picking up soon because it no longer has any cushion.

Same as Doron. Unless one of the new titles gone horrible wrong those 2 don't stand a chance to survive the next round.

Seem like ALIEN AREA is shape up to be some sort of MIB + buddy cop series. Aliens come to Earth to wreck havoc because human do not have the technology to pursuit them once they leave Earth.
