Toudoku ni Ita - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Fremder

This fits more in Japanese society than East Germany. East Germany wasn’t urbanised enough for anti-government terrorism, nor for people to possessed wireless communication devices. Especially not having those signal be picked up by the Stasi. There’s no way he could have made a call without the Stasi knowing.
 
SPY X FAMILY, and now this? Love the cold-war era manga as of late.
 
>East Germany, 1985.
>Yukirou

God, I haven't facepalmed like this in some time, just why you do this. Thanks for the chuckle, I guess, but if the author isn't adequate enough to not give citizens of freaking East Germany Japanese names, you kinda question their overall awareness as a person.
 
Her eyes on the cover kinda reminds me of Leo from Kekkai Sensen. First chapter is a bit predictable, and with no summary I still can't see where this manga is going.
 
Interesting but I saw him being the antagonist a mile away hopefully this isn't too predictable.
 
@N0Mi0 uhhh, did you even read? The guy was a descendant of a japanese immigrant so having a japanese name isn’t really that weird.
 
@Teruru

Yeah, it it only strengthens my point. I mean, japanese imigrants in Eastern Germany? Really? And now this non-german guy is leading a radical libération group? Yeah, right. Yukirou the leader of Free Germany. Honestly, it's just a bad taste, making a character 'relatable' not caring whether this character makes any sense or not. Such blatant dilettantism is only more apparent when there are things like Youjo Senki or even Moster out there where authors actually spend some time researching.

I mean, maybe it's not a bad manga, but I sure have a hard time expecting something good from someone who shows such carelessness in the very synopsis...
 
@N0Mi0 i’m sorry to say this but i have no idea how things are in East Germany and why are japanese immigrants are not allowed and how long has this ‘rule/law’ have lasted. I mean, it just said, he’s a japanese descendant. it Could be his grandparents or older who are the immigrants so he could be a german with japanese blood.
 
one pseudo fact that I'd like to confirm though. was it true that soviet and DDR did really well in the olympic during the cold war?
 
This is drawn by the same mangaka of otokojuku? damn he sure changed his artstyle A LOT
 
@duylinh East Germany actually pretty urbanized a lot. But after reunited with West Germany, the new united Germany government just closed most of factories, companies in East Germany to force Eastern German into unemployees and come to West Germany and turn into un-urbanized today. This actions just to show that world how bad and poor of "Socialism" in East Germany, and most old East German regret that they choice reunited with West Germany. Despite all abaddoned actions of government to East Germany states, the East Germany states still keep it traditional good well fare and best education system in Germany.
 
@azzanki They won a lot of medals, but that was due to a lot of state-sponsored doping. So the manga is closer to RL than their RL claims, funnily enough.
 
Oh, a japanese manga about eastern Germany! Cool :) I will wait the nexter chapters with pleasure ^^
