Hell yeah the Norwegian krone makes a comeback! The single best thing about this chapter, really.
The social commentary is so ham-fisted and in-your-face it's not even funny. If the manga is not back on track by the start of the next arc, I'm dropping it. Though it feels like it's already...

He's that one-punch-wonder former karate guy who won a rookie championship, joined Sendo's gym and wanted to challenge Itagaki and Ippo but had Itagaki pummel him. He's not very smart, and of course he's unprofessional; he's never been a second before iirc.

"P-chan" doesn't carry the joke either, since it necessitates that note at the bottom just to understand what you were going for, rendering the point moot.
Why not just go for a play on phonetics instead? "Skew-chan" or "Screw-chan" would've worked just fine and would actually be kinda...
@Bana
Nah, what is actually being exposed in this work is the folly of shallowness. And in the fine tradition of every good writer who did it before him, from Jerome Salinger to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Asano is being impartial while doing so instead of promoting some sort of a one-sided...
@Bana
Mate, it's you who doesn't know what you're talking about. WHO took the situation a lot more seriously than you pretend it did. Here, let me jog your memory.
31 December: China informs WHO of the virus and the Wuhan case statistics; WHO was on full alert and ready to work with them same...
@Nod
Tetsuo's parents are dead, it was revealed some chapters back.
But I think both of your theories are on the right track. Tosu actually is Kasen's family name, which I had completely forgotten about. Kubo's gang are yakuza, but they were trying to extort the Tosu family for money to begin...
@Lithe
Rather than being obvious (the fact both Kubo and supposedly Tetsuo came to the same dealer for the same thing is a pretty big coincidence), I'd be more wary of the fact that Tetsuo shouldn't have this much money: that's slightly over 5 million yen, the price of a good car... Unless he...
This begged for an "Omedetou, Shinji!" scene.
Btw, pig numbers don't correspond to picture numbers.
Also note that Korean doesn't normally have gender pronouns, so the genders of the pigs are not necessarily all male.
The reason they both bought the eels is likely the same: to dispose of the flesh. Eels are carnivores, they can grow quickly in captivity, and are easier to keep or dispose of compared to birds or animals (literally just dump them in the river).
The horizontal speech bubbles imply the...
Tbh it's much more likely that instead of making every race's life span short the demon would make all of them obnoxiously long so that everyone would turn into stuck-up, desensitized assholes who'd eventually become sociopathic and then turn into lifeless husks like the spirits of the dead guys...
