All right we gotta teach Hata to read 😭
Another reason I sorta stopped reading was it just wasn’t fun to read Kurumizawa taking advantage of Hata and going through extraordinary lengths to keep up the lie

whoops i mean hata not haru

like how it came about.

i don’t envy these artists who have to come up with these story beats every week to keep the manga interesting

one thing i don’t like are the contrivances - the assistant is following a cat and it goes into a room and jumps on the shelf and knocks over the book which contains the contract between kurumizawa and haru for her to read? it feels too unnatural…
it is an interesting development but i don’t

biting my hand

Harenchi Gakuen and then there’s assistant of his that is piquing my interest. She wants to make a sci-fi manga… could be this be like Keiko Takemiya and Towards the Terra? This is exciting to me…

so i guess i thought that would be no fun..The tension between Hata and Kurumizawa is just imagined I thought, but someone mentioned this in the most recent chapter so I’m back but it made me remember what’s also fun about this manga is the references. I think No No Dojo is a reference to Go Nagai’s

I remember this game omg

Also like I was hoping to watch this and remember something and just now i saw a scene with a manta-ray like thing moving around in a dark well and realized that it was a source of a nightmare/fear I had as a kid.

I feel like this script could be tightened up. Robin Wright is really charming but tbh I think it could do without the whole romantic subplot - it feels extraneous. LL Cool J is great though.
Also that one MTV bit is awesome

The villains (?) are the two military guys and also violent videogames

the way the characters act in this movie - I know as a kid I didn't question it

kid me had some interesting taste...

The costumes and the set design are crazy
