Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.

That I am a hero volume cover image threw me off a bit. Old kurusu is in it, while new kurusu is the masked one, right (takashi, vide chapter 143)?

I think that's supposed to be Takashi. Old kurusu had hair like hiromi's before she cut it, if I recall correctly.

I watched Hanazawa's Manben episode yesterday and the amount of tracing over photos he does for characters is upsetting.

The mouth and nose are from the old kurusu though. The new one so far has only appeared with the mask. And look at a image from his hair when he's jumping like in the cover:



Kurusu Takashi has very round eyes and a serious expression just like in this image.

Is there an official English release of Liar Game? I've read the first half of it a few times but it always updated slowly on the mangasites and considering how good it is I was hoping it'd been licensed somewhere.

I don't think so but iirc it's fully scanlated now so slow translation speeds aren't an issue anymore

Okay it's worth picking back up then! I'm not anticipating too much from it on the story end of things but there's just no other series that scratches the same itch as the games.

The Genius is an excellent show to watch. There's also a k-drama version of Liar Game itself which I heard was pretty good.

There are good k-dramas out there though. :(

For the Genius you can watch all the seasons on YouTube. Bumdidlyumptious is the person who subbed all the episodes.

There are like 10 animes and no Chinese Jackie Chan movies on my country's Netflix catalog, yet there are tons of Korean tv dramas and it makes me absolutely furious.

Plus it's fun to make fun of Korea's descent into capitalism and lack of a discernible cultural identity, kinda like what happened to Singapore. Just a giant mall where's illegal to chew bubblegum. RIP Korean culture

you should know that that thread was made halfway through season 2, and since the show is done now is filled with spoilers. so don't read too much if you don't want to know who wins

Glaucos

A 4 volume story about competitive free diving by the artist (but not writer) of Shamo. It's... forgettable. It's all fairly stereotyped, too, with a youth full of promise, the old past world champion that wants to train him as to have a new goal in life, the female doctor who is rational and cold, the opponent to beat, etc.
It doesn't do anything particular with the plot, there is no important drama beats, or romance, or comedy bits. It tries to put some mysticism about the ocean, the depths of the sea, freedom and origin of life, but it feels slapped on it.
The end part is disappointing with a twist that doesn't make a lot of sense, and the attempt of (end spoilers) bittersweet dramatic end feels flat, of course he dies diving, but his legacy continues as he got pregnant the only woman in the story the night before. Convenient!

The good part, the drawing

Hahaha, that was so well done.

Having had to deal with someone like the father before, someone who always treats you like an idiot no matter what and they are always right(oh, you're just a woman, of course you wouldn't understand, oh, you're too young to know what you're talking about, oh, I don't know who you are so you have no say in this matter, etc) this series depicted them in such a perfectly accurate way, it's so creepy. As soon as he showed up and wanted to see Momo, I was hoping that would be called out, that he had never once come to visit her in the five years she's been alive. That alone makes him unworthy, that he left them to fend for themselves and shows up expecting them to jump at his demands says absolutely everything that needs to be said.
