@FirstDayRegister From the wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Handy-phone_System), it's basically just an early version of modern cell phone networks, with an extremely limited range, so it was only good in dense cities where they could place lots of transmission stations (like Tokyo).

The title should have been a good hint, I was wondering how old the manga was.
Such a trip to the past, at least it wasn't a flip phone.

Btw this chapter was animated as an bonus to one of the volumes. It's great.

Just as well they didn't remember.

That iMac G3 cost about $2070 in today's dollars.

Best version of titanic

Also the fact that a phs network existed until 2020 reminds me of just how tenaciously jp clung to windows xp
