Yeah, but that's crime-Tohru, who hasn't undergone the growth that part-timer-Tohru has. Crime-Tohru would probably still take his shirt off at a restaurant because he had one beer

Crime-Tohru drinks 12 beers, stalks a girl he dated for like 3 days, then thinks he is in anime and runs around like a jackass, ending up as 4chan's laughingstock. I think he also got punched the gently caress out by some bystander

As the year end approaches I’d like to thank all of you who have supported me in translating this dumb, boring comic. I never thought I’d have the opportunity to have a hand in making something that brings a smile (or a groan) to so many people. It’s thanks to all of you I’ve managed to stick with it this long.

Thanks again for your kind donations, every little bit means the world to me.

You gotta give the author credit, somehow we've come to care about TV psychic and his partner who has only ever appeared in flashbacks. And we still can't predict what will happen to them. That is a type of talent.

Is it possible NEET author does any manga work elsewhere? Also, I'm trying to remember if Enami and Yoriko are married or not at this stage.

The Enami and Yoriko flashback for me went from "wow the author sure does have a bug up his rear end about paranormal charlatans if he's drawing/writing this much about a made up one" to "I want to know where it goes and I hope it ends well for these two dorks"

I check in on the guy's YouTube channel from time to time, and in his description he says (direct quote) "I make manga as a hobby." He describes himself as a "40-year-old Freeter". A Freeter (フリーター) is someone who manages to support themselves entirely through part-time work.

As for whether or not Enami and Yoriko have tied the knot, I also find it curious there's been no mention of it. I assume they got married some time after Enami's successful television appearances turned in to a career, but there's been no verification as of yet.

Although, I do appreciate the irony of Enami saying teenage romances statistically don't work out when his entire life and career has hinged on falling for a girl he met in middle school.

The word Yoriko uses is 勝負, shoubu, "a match, a bout, a contest that decides who is the victor and who is the loser".

The stereotypical use I've seen in anime and chanbara films is two samurai facing off. The flamboyant one goes on and on about their life story before ending with 「よーし、勝負じゃ!」(yooshi, shoubu ja!, "Alright, this is it! Victory or defeat!"). Then the swords come out and the stoic samurai always wins.

I've also seen it translated as "do or die" or "putting it all on the line".

In the context of the comic, I think Yoriko means after this next scheme they'll be set for life or they can retire comfortably. Something like that.

Honestly, I didn't get the impression that they were romantically involved with one another at any point after middle school. They ended up going to different high schools and from that point it seemed like they drifted apart in that respect, probably had separate romances of their own but kept each other as business partners on the down low because they both understood the value of the grift.

Possible. But they also appear to be living together.

I also think some of it may boil down to cultural differences where typical Japanese couples aren't as outwardly affectionate as we're used to in the western world.

I've watched videos where Japanese YouTubers explain that a couple walking together side by side holding hands is kind of culturally taboo. You're more likely to see women following their men a step or two behind, maybe clasping each other's pinkies at most.

Obviously there are exceptions. And I'm certainly not advocating for stereotypical Japanese conservative values. Just pointing it out.
