Isn't that bad, like, real bad?

 

[SuperOniichan]

Thanks for the chapter and notes of the translator, everything was fine as usual. Beruko is definitely not my favorite character here, but I like that sometimes she can be a real voice of reason in this manga. Well, at least compared to the rest of weirdos, lol.

@DeadKinginHell If you think this is bad, then I don’t even know what you say about the next chapters about her, lol.

 

[Nikosgarofola]

Wait, she's older than 50? And also this chapter is gross. However, thank u for the translation. I know it's hard work

 

[MaskedManta]

＠Nikosgarofola She's in her late 20's. She's the oldest out of all the idols in KGB, she just has a young appearance due to her old eating disorders.

 

[spidersonbikes]

Yikes

 

[cromat]

i know the author tried to play it off the message board stuff as humor, but i think what happened to her was really sad.

 

[-musouka-]

What about the regular fatass gluttony?

 

[Ovdose]

Damn, the reason behind her loli-appearance was the last place where I expected realism. I thought if there ever were any backstory for her it would just be "lol it's manga, stop asking".

 

[Doomroar]

Everything about Beruko is disgusting, and the fact that she tries to defend her pitiful status is even more disgusting.
So of course she will win, legions of pedos await for her to do it.

 

[ghostkun]

Ahh.... Muslim Inoki.

 

[encrypted12345]

Oh, I've always wondered how the skinny eater thing worked. Still, that's incredibly depressing. Even if I have issues with being overweight, I wouldn't wreck my intestines just to bypass that issue.

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@cromat He didn't, he used it to show the assholic and degenerate mindset of many underage-idol fans

 

[kanjutbautai]

goddamn I adore the translator so much. i don't think officially licensed translations even have that much info on their tl note pages

 

[Njoku]

Thank you once again.

This chapter was really interesting and hilarious. The way takatou draw yamakita's expressions is so fucking funny (It screams BAKI. pretty sure it's been an influence on him, not only art-wise when it comes to draw men, but the writing sometimes reminds me of it)

The tl notes have been really interesting and informative as well, especially Antonio Inoki's, what a background!

 

[codetaku]

Inoki was definitely diabetic.

Also, Michael Phelps was famous for having a 12k calorie diet in his prime. Wouldn't be surprised for a hardcore bodybuilder to eat more.

 

[vTool]

Thabks for the chapter, i also love the tl notes.

 

[lostsamurai]

Anorexia and bulemia are very common amongst idols and models, often to a frightening degree. I appreciate the author's take on these conditions, though obviously they attempted to use humor to soften the blow.

 

[EcchiT]

Beruko flipped from heel to face real quick once her backstory got revealed.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@lostsamurai Knowing Rui and considering how he will show trans female idol in the future, it was just a beautiful loophole to justify the loli character, lol.

@DjAlexDubCheck Given how ridiculously problematic this manga is, I don’t think you should think that Rui can blame someone for bad fetishes. He is not author of Platonic Heart. Not to mention the fact that after this arc he himself was accused of pedo bait by feminists on Twitter.

@EcchiT Was she once a heel at all?
