081 - I’ll Give It My All… Tomorrow vol. 3

The boys continue reading Aono’s slice of life manga, as the story explores the main character’s impact on those around him. And after 80 episodes and reading 18 manga, we finally see our first instance of a trans-female character. Here’s hoping many more surprises and new stories are told and read! Skip synopsis @ 3:06 Email: 081: I’ll Give It My All… Tomorrow vol. 3 Chapters 11 to 16 ‘The Times’ and ‘The Guy’s Melody’ With Bonus Chapters ‘Mister Murakami, Manga Editor ‘and ‘Life of Tanaka’ By Shunju Aono Translation by Akemi Wegmuller Lettering by Steven Rhyse Shizuo’s journey to become a mangaka is tested by his father, who refuses to believe that his son has any talent, alongside a job slinging burgers that takes a spiritual toll he struggles. At first Shizuo escapes into a fantasy of what his life may ideally be like in the next five years, only for it to end with an honest conversation with himself and God. To increase his luck of getting published Shizuo gives himself the pen name “Person Nakamura” and works as an assistant for a successful mangaka. Albeit he does the assistant job only as a favour to his crush, the editor Mayumi Meguro. When Shizuo meets his friends Miyata and Ichinozawa, they tell him that they have decided to start a bakery business together, having been somewhat inspired by Shizuo’s tenacity and willingness to chase his dreams. Shizuo himself is asked to give a unique name for the bakery shop, but his two friends are not the only ones to take inspiration, Shizuo’s editor, Mr. Yu Murakami, leaves Ekke productions to live as their honest self, a woman hostess. Leaving Shizuo stuck to find a new editor. Topics: Discussion on how the main character influences the other characters, and after 80 episodes and 18 manga we finally have the first appearance of a trans female character. Dialog bubbles from characters who are not visible in panel. And whom we never actually see make an appearance. James and Will are not to keen on this type of jarring storytelling in manga form. James talks about his favourite chapter, ‘The Dignity of Middle Age’; where Shunju works with the assistants Yamada and Sakamoto, and often punctuates the chapter with his words… “I’m middle aged and… (I’m very conciliatory, I totally get it, I speak my mind) James and Will take the time to reflect on the themes of the story and use it to talk about their relationship with their fathers as they pursued their own kind of dreams at one time in their lives. The good use of a pen name, in fact the famous singer Freddy Mercury’s real name is Farrokh Bulsara, born in Zanzibar. Interestingly the famous horror author Stephen King has used the pen name Richard Bachman, who is also a fictional character created and played by Stephen King himself. Other references: Kojima Yoshio is a japanese comedian. “Beta Nuri” a.k.a. “Spotting the blacks”, this is one of the Jobs Shizuo has as an assistant whilst making Manga. Manju, one of the greatest inventions known to man, a vegan confection that goes well with tea. James highly recommends Matcha Manju. John Lennon, Imagine Chapter “Live to be 300” Errata (Japanese word for Error, meaning typo, spelling mistake) Shizuo’s T-Shirts: God, Dobu, Rage (seen on teenage Shizuo), Festa (Possibly misspelling of Fiesta), Bravo, Publication, Revamp, Figure, Semi Pro
