| lmao |
| Lol Ke$ha's song.. never expected that in this manga or any manga. |
| I cannot believe they saw through the priest with the afro! |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Can't believe they put Kesha song |
 |
| Wait what the fuck, didn't this come out before that dumb Kesha song? Was that originally a reference to a Japanese song that was changed to a song more culturally relevant in the US like what the FLCL dub did? Or did the scanlators just think it'd be funny to throw that in, I'm really confused. |
| The Ke$ha scene was hilarious. |
 |
| Goddamn awesome is what this is! Kurosawa is the legend. This manga only gets funnier as it goes on, it's unbelievable. At first I thought it was a bit weird, but it just gets more absurd and crazy and I'm lovin it. |
| The feral life has started to take a toll on Kurosawa. Now that his paranoia has reached an all time high he can no longer trust anyone and has to stay hiding, whereas freedom was initially seen as behaving like wild animals, not it seems that it's not free at all. Like Hobbes said, " life outside society would be 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short'" hehehehe. When you don't follow any rules and create a life of fighting you will eventually get burned. The Ke$ha part definitely threw me off guard. I was left just questioning what the heck I had just read. I wonder what the original said. So, I've been calling Sakaguchi Inada but his sister called him Yoshiaki.. What the heck, did I just make up the name Inada?! Either way I loved his sister. She looks so much like him and they had some real family bickering going on immediately! Plus she was nice to style Kurosawa like she did however absurd it was, upon hearing he was in danger she stopped being weirded out, went work mode and made him those disguises! It was sweet. I think Kurosawa should go fight the 5 shounen villains, I mean lead kids in charge of their gangs chasing after Kurosawa. Or you know find out how to contact Nakane and get some help from him, he knows them best. His oaf reasoning of get a weird disguise didn't get him far enough! Either way we saw there are still thugs out to get him so he's going to need to find some solution. |
| The original for the Ke$ha song part is quite (and very obviously lol) different, for anyone that sees this and was also curious. Kurosawa：ザギンでナオンとシース・・・！ (zagin de naon to shiisu...!) his coworker (that i don't remember the name of lol):そうそう・・・！！ (sousou...!!) Kurosawa:ギ、ギ、ギ・・・ギロッポンまで、シータクで・・・！！ (gi... gi... gi... giroppon made, shiitaku de...!!) Without the reversed speech: 銀座で女と寿司・・・！六本木まで、タクシーで・・・！！ (ginza de onna to sushi...! roppongi made, takushii de...!!) Translation:"In Ginza, with girls and sushi...!! All the way to Roppongi by taxi...!!" Glad the translator changed it for the english version for something way funnier. The original only is only funny and only makes sense in japanese and seems way too complicated to explain without a whole page at the end of the chapter lol Here's the history lesson (translated from japanese) for those curious to actually understand: "That kind of inverted language is called "Zuja-go" (zzJa language, Jazz spelled backwards by the japanese syllables) which was used by postwar jazz musicians. After the war, some people actively embraced American culture and started doing business with the occupying forces (of the Allies in Japan after World War II). Among them were musicians who played their music in nightclubs to earn a living. Then, those musicians who played jazzoften used inverted words as a code among their friends (a code to avoid being discovered by others). This was probably done to have a conversation without upsetting the amateur customers. In order to speak without revealing indecent or vulgar topics, and to boldly convey criticisms of customers to their friends without being noticed, as such they deliberately developed expressions that were difficult to understand. [...] At this point, rather than being codes or symbols, it was mainly more about trends among friends, competing for humor and something like a feeling of camaraderie. In this way, post-war musicians mastered this unique and understoond only by them "Zuja-go" and there was a time when it represented the cutting-edge coolness. Those musicians later entered the television industry. (In the original japanese, Kurosawa is said to be dressed as a TV director, not an eccentric celebrity, thus the reason for his speaking choices) :-) source: jp quora answer I could be wrong, but this is what i found |
