The Shocking Reality of a Loan Shark Collecting Money

it's only in little 4-5 page spurts and I think the creator initially made it as a gag but then it seems to have been received well enough to maybe turn it into something more? it's good at any rate, even if the theme is pretty dark, the yakuza with a heart of gold shtick is a pretty bog standard trope, but I like the way this does it, and it seems as of the latest chapter it may start a less episodic storyline?, and I'm a sucker for "stoic, imposing giant with tiny, obliviously innocent sidekick" setups

short but sweet.

they've also done some other random short stuff, like a bad attempt to rush job an emotional train all over you with the memory loss wife one-shot, and this one which there's only 4 chapters translated of and probably ends soon after or just got dropped

I believe in a recent chapter of watamote tomoko commented basically "oh no, am I the normie now?"

Even if she has a thin layer of normie, underneath that she's still the same walking shitpost she always was:

Read it all because it's all great character development especially for later

I guess i have a few Watamote-adjacent questions, the first is: are there any other stories that have such.. human characters?
maybe give Akiko Higashimura's works a try, they're still goofy and a bit exaggerated characterwise but the characters also are written in such an understandable way most of the time.

Her autobiographical work, Blank Canvas, is a really good example. It's a really powerful series that she clearly poured her heart and soul into.

Jitsu wa watashi wa (localization name: My Monster Secret)

It is jam packed with amazing reaction faces and is also very good at comedy and romance and all that jazz. Takes a little bit to rev up but once it gets going it's a hilarious ride for most of the rest of the series. Once the Horned Girl shows up the shenanigans portions really go nuts.

Read the manga, the anime fails to adapt it well.

Actually, it's fantastic and you're really missing out.

And I was being literal with the friends thing. Now she doesn't have to be a cringefest all by herself, her friends can join in too! :3:

new Watamote https://mangadex.org/chapter/846317

I'm wary of any chapters uploaded on april fool's but if this is a legit translation, I wonder what Asuka is going to talk to Kuroki about, sounds like a potential confession but could be something else. Also I love the little details like Kuroki's roommate still keeping an eye on her lol
