I don't know why, but I've become kind of interested in watching this story play out.

I was 99% certain GBS goons were going to hate on it because they seem to have a problem with Japan, but it looks like some other people are actually interested in the comic too. Your thread would probably do better over in ADTRW though, but crossover threads can be interesting.

Keep up the good work, OP.

I vote he feels he's too overworked and inters himself in one of those fake Korean jails.

Also, how did you learn all the words for the sound effects, OP? I can never seem to find a good dictionary for those.

Edit: Also, raw egg and rice is delicious, as is raw egg and ramen.
Natto - not so much...


Why'd his face get cut into two panels?

More edit: They should throw the narrator on TV, he seems to be pretty good at debating. The protagonist mostly just ignores him though, so maybe he's not so well-suited to debating.

I'm mostly expecting him to logic his way into not doing anything because any murder is too much work


japanese culture in a nutshell

I'm mostly expecting him to logic his way into starting to go to the gym so he perform murders, getting a job to afford murder tools etc. He's already begun to appreciate life and think about the lives of others.

I'm pretty sure we accidentally put him on the path to living a fulfilling life, and the other path was the one where he snaps and kills everyone.

It doesn't even occur to him to think that the poison drink can guy left a mark on history. No, if nobody remembers my name, knows that it was I, me, me, who did it, it's worthless.

He left his mark on Wikipedia, yes; but history? Dunno. Even our wannabe murderer protagonist (antagonist?) hadn't heard of him until late into his murder search.

Maybe this comic is actually set in Korea.

Every time I let someone here use my computer, they always minimize the open session of Chrome so they can open IE.

I think Hot Stunt nailed it above. Dad only recognizes the IE logo as "the internet" which the son never actually uses.

He's at least computer-savy enough to know how to look at the history though, which puts him miles ahead of other people his age.

Also many other people at any age. :sigh:

As amusing as that would be, I don't think he'd be able to have much contact with any other prisoner during his time.

In Japanese prisons, you live like a loving robot.

Oh, so not much different than working in Japan.

I really thought he was going to say he killed them - by driving them to suicide. But I guess that's what actually happened so.

I'm glad whatever he tried didn't work.

I wonder what they would do if tohru or anybody just came up and said "pls to imprison me, i would like to be a convict"

Can you check into jail.

I'm pretty sure that was an episode of something I briefly watched once. There were some homeless people or something that were in jail for a bit and refused to leave because they had four walls, a roof over their heads, and meals, but they had to commit a crime to be there.

I really liked the parts where you can see what the detective is thinking and what Touru thinks the detective is thinking, and they don't line up at all, haha.

Japanese society works like in anime. Once he joins up with a plucky team of adventures, all his past crimes will be absolved and he'll be fully committed to the cause of justice, but without losing his bad boy attitude.

I like how he was apparently too afraid to steal the whole envelope of money, but taking the envelope out, taking some money out of it, and putting it back was somehow easier.

I liked him better when he was some smart, but insane guy in prison. Falling for that girl's weak manipulation to protect his masculinity is kind of disappointing.

I empathize with the NEET here. I wasn't in prison but I lived in Eastern Europe for a few years and when i got back i immediately spent way too much on a big basket of snacks and dr pepper and pizza hut and similar. Lets see if he, like I, becomes violently ill as his system is no longer expecting trash!

I also become ill every time I go back to the US and try eating the food.
