I find amusing that the people who always complains about SJW and such being easily offended are the first to be offended by a manga plot.
Guys, grow up.
The only Costco I've ever went to was in Japan (as there is no Costco in my country) and they had the 200 Yen hot dog + free refill soda and the delicious 400 Yen Bulgogui bake, the food court there was busy as hell as it was the cheapest place you could eat in town, and it was in a university...
The Tower Records clerk do have a nice taste in music, their mini-reviews and selections in the J-Indies section were always on point, also the only music store I've went to that had a dedicated Dream Pop shelf.
There are some nice references to underground japanese bands in this manga.
On page 3 you can see the guy listening to Supercar's YUMEGIWA LAST BOY and in a past chapter someone requested MC to cover Kinoko Teikoku's Chronostasis.
Other interesting thing: the author organizes some live events...
Even though they shared only the artist, not the authors, Kimi no Knife gave me the same feeling on it's ending. That feeling of "man, this manga had quite the potential but look at what we got for an ending".
But this is better than Kimi no Knife, by a considerable margin.
I think that Malícia is more like the ability to trick others. Often it is used more as a negative trait but in football is a good thing I guess?
Malandro é malandro, mané é mané.
@Nightlilygirl-
I've worked part-time at a factory in Japan and my friend had to dye his hair black to work there. I imagine that the service industry is a lot more strict.
Zico the footballer, he was a star player in Brazil and went to Japan to play and coach for Kashima Antlers, later he coached for the Japan National Team and raised lots of skillful free kick takers like Shunsuke Nakamura. I had to google what was Block B to know what you were talking about...
Thanks for picking this up! I've been waiting for someone to translate this for a while now, the political history of Japan is too interesting to be forgotten.
