Same. Especially since I was extremely depressed when I had began reading it. It helped me put some things in my life in perspective, so that was good. No, I want to read the whole thing at once because, reading it monthly or whatever, there were tons of small details and names that I forgot or overlooked, so I'm rereading from the start to keep an eye out for these elements. I remember the ending confused me a but the first time I read it.


That's fair. The release of these volumes is also my first time reading it from start to finish since those original scanlations and it's crazy how much I've forgotten. I remember what happens in the upcoming volume pretty vividly and it's gonna be such a hard read

I know that this is the common sense answer (like the equivalent of "DON'T DATE KEN" :mad: in Persona 3 Portable), but having no day job can be a BITCH for what you should do. Fortunately, I started a new day job 3 weeks ago so I can rationalize my time much better. Still haven't heard your opinions on Scum's Wish.

Oyasumi PunPun is a hard comic to pin down. Inio Asano also reminds me a lot of the lady that did Not Simple and House of Five Leaves.

just from seeing wildly varying takes on scum's wish, i'd say it's best to just jump in. it seems really polarizing, i just didn't care to watch it past previewing episode 1 because romance/drama isn't a thing i normally shoot for.

Natsume Ono owns, and while Not Simple isn't her standard affair, it gets you attuned to her unique art style fairly well.

I love both artists, but besides being somewhat melancholy, I wouldn't say their works share too many similarities.

Also to answer your question: Scum's wish is good if you like seeing a more realistic, messy portrayal of High School Relationships. I haven't sat down to watch it yet, but a few other people in ADTRW and outside of it were saying it was among their top shows last season, so I'd say go for it if you can deal with heartbreak.

I love the fact that most of the main LL girls (for both Muse and Aqua) are/were either lesser-known or up-and-coming voice actresses, but for the moms they got people like Noriko Hidaka, Kotono Mitsuishi (who does NicoMom) and Kikuko Inoue.

That's her name! Thanks, I kept forgetting. :)

The ACCA show from last season is also based on one of her manga, isn't it? I liked that.

WRT Scum's Wish, I'll say this: Late 2016 and early 2017 were an absolute poo poo shower for yours truly and, while I hope I don't have to go through something similar anytime soon, I think that going through what I did has helped me deal with heartbreak a lot better.

I thought that was just an aged-up Nico at first.

Children just being clones of their parents is a bit boring.

Yui's Mom appears for all of 20 or so seconds, has no bearing whatsoever on the plot (unlike Yukino's family) and yet the things she says and how she says them tell me more about how much Yui likes both Hikki and Yukinon than almost anything else. Also, parents embarrassing their children will never not be funny.

Rinko is the best mom.

Mirano Yasuko rules and that scene where she briefly wakes up, gives her son and Taiga the ol' stink-eye + some moolah and sends them on their way to have breakfast so that she can have some goddamn shuteye was the best.

Things I learned today that will not be of any use to me in the near or far future:
  • Kikuko Inoue has a daughter who's already working as a voice actress.
