Otoro-san. Or "Ootoro" if you're strict.

lol I didn't get a very 'funny' vibe from it when I flipped through it, unless it's more of a dark comedy or something. I didn't think 'Help' was funny at all though! lol I thought it was pretty sad!

I found my new favorite Takahashi girl in this story though:

I said the abuse stuff wasn't funny! The rest of it is quirky! It's like "Help" in tone.

A comedy?....Okay, without reading it, that's going to be tough to swallow. How is a story with arson and spousal abuse going to be comedic? Well, I suppose if anyone can find humor in it, Takahashi-sensei can, though I won't really understand how it works until I see it.

Yeah, sorry. Posted that in the wrong thread, so I'll respond to Tierum here... It's not really a drama per se. It has some dramatic elements (spousal abuse), but overall it seems to be sort of played for comedy. Well, not the abuse, that's pretty rough. The woman and her husband...

Posted by Yoiko in the wrong thread...

The first panel from the new short story. It's pretty interesting, sort of a mystery/comedy about the people living in this neighborhood. It has some interesting characters an abused wife and husband and some other unique character designs by Takahashi.

Maybe it's like 'bewitched' where the housewife sees stuff, but her husband thinks she's nuts, but she's really right?....though it doesn't really look comedic. The lady looks disturbed by whatever it is she saw.

We'd been expecting this for the last few weeks but missed it because we were out of town. Dammit!

Anyway, it comes out next week, and I do believe that Hoshi Shouri is going to pick up a copy for us, so we'll get the info up on the site very soon.
