Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san
| I heard that Honda is supposed to be female in the source material, sicnce that's the author's gender and the protagonist is based on herself, and story is based on her/his experience. Though I can't find any solid evidence to back any of these up. Dose anyone have any source that can either prove or disprove this? And I must say, this information actually contextualized lots of the plot differently. And actually made some of them making more sense then they did without this information. For example: In episode 1 when the fat white guy asked for a lot of mangas at once, it was the white guy carrying all the books himself, when normally the clerks will be doing that for the customers. |
| according to an interview with anime anime news: 私の分身である主人公をガイコツにしたことに対して、「死後の世界に興味あるの？」と良く言われるんですが、そこまで深く考えていなくて、単純に子どもの頃からモチーフとして好きだっただけです（笑）。 https://animeanime.jp/article/2018/10/07/40623.html which could be translated as: i'm often asked if im interested in the afterlife because i made the protagonist, which is my other self, a skeleton, but i didnt think that deeply. i simply liked (skeletons) as a motif ever since i was a kid. *laughs* no clear answer on the protagonist gender. at most, she said the protagonist represents her "other self", but that alone doesnt mean the protagonist was meant to be female. edit: wait, i was assuming the author was female. maybe it's a male author - though that doesnt change my point above. reading the preview, and the protagonist way of speaking seems consistent with that of a male speaker. no rosy feminine sentence enders, and the protagonist at one point in the first few pages say something you would expect from a male otaku: "i wonder what's airing this season.. could it be that series about cute girls gakkougu○shi?" |

Helios92 said: How is Honda female in the manga, but he sounds like a dude O____O the rumour is that they changed it, for reasons, maybe to protect the author or something. but again, I can't find anything to prove or disprove any of it, that's why I was asking about it at the first place. |

| I know this is basically necroposting, but I have the answer now: Honda is definitely female in the manga. here are pages from the free to read version on Pixiv Comic: https://comic.pixiv.net/works/1764   In the first one the fat white guy said it's okay he can carry it himself, that'd b too heavy for a woman. In the second one, Honda is the "older sister" So yea, without a doubt. I feel stupid that the answer was right there in the manga the entire time. |
