Series would be better if it was unintentional yuri with all the girl characters being absorbed into her harem. The plot jumped the shark early on when the "marry a rich guy and divorce him for half his yen" fell apart when it became the "after dark tamarowa" so it's a little silly someone as...
The only way this could have been worse is if she was some kind of e-idol and he was giving her money for free, instead of her being an actual idol for whom he gives money to shake her hand.
It's funny finding an author you haven't seen in like 6 years and finding that all their HS romcoms flopped hard, but the one about the 30-something cake in the office is the one one that becomes decently long-running.
I'm going to die of old age before this finishes.
@Bracken you mean a timeless masterpiece where the bad guy regrets being a bad guy at the very end because no one is allowed to be actually evil in a Mizukami story (because apparently they're all in the same universe).
@Swifft yeah but if you're talking about sad dog stories what do you think is more likely- that Westerners know about a sad dog from the West who waited 20 years to die before meeting his master again or Westerners know about a sad dog from Japan? Unless there's some statement by Groening like...
Some of these horror stories are basically just "if you fuck with someone enough, they'll fucking snap". I guess because they were written in the 1980s before crazy shit became more widely publicized, so they're "fictional" but there are actual crazies out there.
I wanted to like this but the author is an absolute idiot and his characters are absolute morons, it's like they're trying to be caught by the Bible Police. It's like a horror manga where the characters choose to make the worst decisions possible, seemingly to ensure their doom.
Someone like her should honestly just be set up with a guy looking for a wife. Omiais sound silly to non-Japanese, but I agree with the premise that people who are lonely and mindfucked by Japanese society would probably do better together than screeching into the night about how middle school...
I don't think there's any statement out there saying Seymour was based on Hachiko, I would think the Futurama writers in a pre-wikipedia world would probably be more familiar with the Odyssey and Argos, Odysseus' dog.

This gets real frankenstein real fast but I just want to say a trap looking boy with a girl is awright. Even if that girl has some stuff of her own going on. This manga is a real trip
@OhWell21 it's about the journey not the destination.
The more I read this the more I question the world's internal logic. Are they working on some kind of commission? It can't be hourly, but even then jobs should pay at least 64 japanese dollars a day on the basis of japanese min wage and an 8 hour work day. If the association/union covers their...
A cute story about a witch stuck in a hopelessly exploitative system wherein the ability to find work is limited entirely by mandatory membership within a union which propagates the hypercapitalist society that determines whether your magic is able to be sold on the wider market or not.
