I might have missed it in my skimming, but those who are reading Shuukan Shounen Hachi how are you finding it? I dropped it fairly early in because the "tournament school" premise didn't grab me and the stylistic callbacks to "Jitsu wa's" characters made me think that any moment a tiny Class Rep was going to pop out of the friendly rivals head.

Can I get a Cute/Dumb number out of 100? Has our "Earnest Wannabe Writer" burst free from his shell to become a "Dumb-mangaka"?

Like most manga about manga, it’s a bit up its own rear end. Working yourself into the ground is presented unambiguously as a good thing, editor/teachers are always right and have your best interests in mind when they’re abusing you, etc.

Panda girl is pretty good, though. 25/100 cute/dumb.

Definitely my favorite new series right now.

Elegant Headmaster is great.

Triple costume change was great.

Gene Simmons cow was also great.

Absurd, but in service to a cool story instead of 'Invincible Punchmans are Our Rightful Lords and Masters vol. 136'. Also, women exist and occasionally do things.

That's why Cooking Papa is the greatest food manga, our hero consistently comes home after his 12-hour office workday to fuss over dinner for an alcoholic wife and a kid who'd be just as happy with fish sausage straight from the package.

Like the Pomph face. :psyduck: I really must know what context leads to that as a translation.
Was it something that was actually said but that Mangaplus decided to localize because a Pomph isn't actually anything?

Japanese onomatopoeia is some next-level poo poo.

That's too little to even put a dent in my years-long sorrow for the loss of Teppu.

Teppu was so loving good.
