That's my favorite non-comedy moment, I think, made all the better by all of their friends being their because all of their friends' kids are in the school too.

I don't think there are any tiny Okayama, Sakurayama, or Shimayama kids at the graduation. Akane must have invited them specifically.

Still disappointed I couldn't spot Shiho's dad in the final chapter.

quote:

This year's sixth issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine announced on Thursday that manga creator Eiji Masuda will launch a new manga in the magazine's ninth issue on January 25. The new series, Shūkan Shōnen Hachi (Weekly Shonen Hachi), will have a 61-page first chapter with a color opening page.

The manga centers on Hachi Bonjin ("Bonjin" means "mediocre"), who has always wanted to become a "protagonist." He has a new dream to attend the "Onigahama Manga Academy," even though he's not a genius.

Masuda launched Jitsu wa Watashi wa in the magazine in 2013, and ended the series in February. Akita Shoten published the manga's 22nd and final compiled volume on March 8. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English under the title My Monster Secret. The company will publish the manga's ninth volume on January 16.

A television anime adaptation of the manga premiered in Japan in July 2015. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The manga also received a stage play adaptation that ran in Tokyo's Shinjukumura Live theater in May 2016.

Same here :allears: I hope this is a comedy as well, and that our beloved JiWaWaWa idiots make an appearance :allears:

Hope of hopes: The school Youko and Asahi are attending is this one, which is why we have another dumbpire just chillin'.

Wouldn't be out of hand, considering he's had cameos from Sakura Discord in Jitsu. Heck, Mikan is related to a SD character.

Sadly we won't be scanlating this. We just don't have the staff to allocate beyond what we've already committed to take on: Bird Cafe. Hopefully someone picks it up though.

Alert: bad post spotted.
Leave Tarage to translate Bird Cafe. It's a good manga. As far as I've heard. It's not overtly sexualised is it? I've wanted to get started reading it for a while.

delikpate that thing!
They have the occasional "pretty bird lady making me flustered" jokes but the art isn't trying to be titillating or sexy so it's not the usual creepshow parade. The gag is used sparingly, in any event, and usually defuses with "oh right, she's a bird". It's by and large a cute and nice and funny series

They show up in the background from time to time. Also go back and read the chapter where Mikan is getting ready to finalize her plans to move away. I believe it's one of the Oka/Mikan chapters. She talks about 'Saku-nee'.

We can't go back no more, but I suppose we can go wherever we please.
Spoiled myself a bit on the RAWs of the first Shuukan Shounen Hachi. (I can't read any of it though).

Cannot wait for it to be translated. Face game is still good.

Also can't wait for more Bird Cafe. Gone through what was done a year or so ago twice already. It is adorable.

I think I see some Jitsu-wa-esque characters in this already!! Oh man I am excited. The premise, it's like Bakuman but with all the intense passion and youthful energy of the later arcs in Jitsuwa. Can't wait to see more of this!

Every species can smell its own extinction.
Hopefully unlike Bakuman it will be good.

Considering how good Jitsu wa was it's probably gonna be great.

It also literally has Akane in it. I can't imagine it'll be too wildly off from JWWW, even if it's not a wacky romance.

I personally hope it's not just a callback myself. That said, I can understand why Masuda would want people to link this new manga to Jitsu Wa. Also, is this going to the the Shoukan Shounen Hachi thread too?

VAMPIRE CONFIRMED. Maybe. Possibly. It's not inconceivable. I mean, there's no real guarantee but there IS a strong hint of a possible suggestion, right? PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT IMAGINING IT.

A school full of weird people where weird stuff happens, possibly involving monsters? Way to stretch your story-telling wings, there, Masuda.

I kid. It looks like it could be interesting as long as it doesn't disappear up its own butt re: how awesome it is being a mangaka.
