From the crazy mind of Itagaki Paru, a wild, funny, surprisingly kind, and sometimes very insightful story about a benevolent 14-year-old schoolboy Sanda, and his strange adventures in the depressing reality of not-so-distant future Japan
>>268175901Chapter 1 - Everything is so dazzling... Is this growing upGirl's ass might be cold but not as cold as her heart
>>268175901It might be better to do this storytime in December.Or time it so the last chapter is on Christmas.
Thanks, OP thread was resurrected as Sanda
>>268175901Oh, did this one finish up?
>>268176022I had such an idea, but the future for me is too unpredictable, maybe if someone will promise to do it
Sliding windows are the #1 cause of violence in schools
Especially if they don't work correctly
Don't dream about yandere, kids
Maybe it was a bad dream
Or maybe it was love?
His smile and optimism will never fade
>>268176210That's one tall girl.
What do these children know about love
>>268176514182cm of a pure will in her 14 year
>>268176439oh no, lil guy is too stupid to live past the first chapter
Even in later chapters I still don't understand what her name and her cold butt meant, maybe she's some kind of blizzard?
Love this series, Paru's Santa fetish is funny
No more of that old bearded molester
Love strikes like a bullet (or a knife)
>>268176817I wish someone felt like this for me...
What a poor guy
Even she's confused
>>268175901Did this series just die? What the fuck happened?
After such stupid questions, he turned into a monkey
>when you understand your companion didn't joke even once
the ritual is almost finished
>>268177019It still exists, but sadly translations stopped early and killed the monumentum.
wear the fucking jersey, Sanda
She can't give your heart back, only stab it
the jersey wasn't a bad option, in the end
I understand she's desperate but this is not a reason for the villain's one-liners
It's time to live, it's time to love, it's time to die
Ono's courtship worked better than his
Who the hell said her about that santa-noncence?
Merry Christmas...
MOTHERFUCKERS
HO HO HO
Paru studied human anatomy only for this
It's still a mystery
She's still a kid
Even if she's 182cm tall
>>268177981that santa doesn't look very jolly
That's all for today, thank you again for the possibility.Manga for some reason is way smaller than it should be. The last time I read something so weird but optimistic was Dorohedoro
>>268176080the 12th volume was published recently, unfortunately, the translation is way behind at the 8th
I read through everything that was translated about a month or two ago. Would have waited so I could react live if I'd known there'd be a dump. Oh well.
>>268178270Oh god damnit I said only one chapter but it hooked me. God I hate Paru Itagaki and her shit but captivating stories.
>>268177691Introverts are weak to compliments..
>>268178713It's great, there are some strange chapters, but she always fixes if something ruins the main flow of the story
>>268177981Damn look at those abs.
>>268175901Based Too many people have been sleeping on this manga it's as bat shit insane as middle late Beaststars but coherent
I've been meaning to catch up on this for a while.Despite all its problems, I genuinely enjoyed how batshit the later parts of Beastars got and I recall this being a clear continuation of that trend. Looking forward to seeing the rest with you anons. Thanks for dumping OP!
>>268180677It's insane but it still works as a funny story about kids who're trying to save Christmas in the fucked up country
I remember getting whiplash when this manga was new and seeing Paru draw humans. The style's grown on me since then so I think I'll finally get around to reading it.>>268180074This is really nice to hear.
>>268178713Sanda has at least one WTF moment every chapter it's great
>>268180074imo there's one arc fairly early on that drags on way too fucking long, but it's mostly been fun outside of that
>>268180677Never read Beastars, I only know it as crazy Zootopia. What is it about?
>>268178270What an entertaining premise, looking forward to more.
>>268177140>>268177171I completely forgot about this... Why does Fuyumura know about "people with powers" and how those powers awaken and how to break Santa Claus' "curse".She never seems like an occult type character later on, and knows nothing about anyone else with powers either like the reindeer or even herself
Hm, re-reading the first chapter after all this time, I have the distinct impression she draws Kazushige a lot cuter these days. Fuyumura looks basically the same though.>>268185446It was only ever hinted at once since the last time I caught up, but it's implied her dad is a big deal among the anti-santa factions
>>268183610 >wolf MC that hates being a carnivore nearly eats a bunny girl on his first day at beast schoo,l but it's dark so she doesn't see its him>he gets a crush on her>his rival is a deer boy that seeks to get into politics by become a BEASTSTAR which is like a valedictorian with more celebrity status>there's a serial killer in the school killing and eating herbivores>the rabbit girl fucks predators because it gives her a thrill to be in control over them for a change when normally everyone either bullies her or treats her with kid gloves>wolf MC ends up running away from school after finding out that their entire 'civilized' society is built on the back of impoverished animals being forced to sell their body parts as meat for predators to eat, and the kidnapping and organ harvesting of anyone deemed 'won't be missed' by society.
>>268178270Thank you for posting.
>>268185788Didn't check the spoiler, seems interesting enough.
>>268178099Does itagaki have a santa claus fetish now?
>>268178713You think she got it from her dad?
>>268188192Wasn't that one of the things she specifically talked about in an interview once, maybe even before Sanda started?
I know it's a cliche to say this about anyone eccentric, but Freud would have a field day with Paru
>>268190537>>268188192Yes, Paru even had a one shot about a sexy older Santa saving the soul of a sad prostitute by finally giving her the gift she wanted as a childhttps://mangadex.org/title/68262507-c506-4918-967a-25f1a8390dbb/white-beard-and-boyne
>>268175901She should stick to drawing animals
>>268188192>DAUGHTER. I LIKE WHEN THE LITTLE BOY BECOMES A MUSCULAR SHIRTLESS OLD MAN>M-me too, dad
>>268191253>WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?>HOW DARE YOU COME TO ME NOW?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo7mgo7YyLI
>>268175901This series has some of the worst art and character proportions I have seen from a manga. And I read shoujo
>>268191253But... what?
>>268176681Her name means winter village. In the first panel, she has her butt on Sanda's crotch and it's cold for some strange reason with my guess being that it's what protects her from those MYSTERIOUS GROWTH PAINS when sleeping, or maybe Paru forgot about that....
>>268194743Well, judging by some chapters, she often postpones some foreshadowed twists, maybe we will see after a few volumes
>>268176319I forgot Sanda's government-assigned childhood-friend fiancee also appeared this early>>268176681>>268194743It was quite blatantly spelled out a couple times this chapter that she's Snow White, which you're right that is also why she can sleep unlike other kids
>>268195494>I forgotHonestly, my least favorite chapter, it comes out of the blue, and it goes almost nowhere
>>268195494>Snow WhiteI just got that is also why she's tall. Everyone is like a dwarf to her.
Reminder theres a man out there who not only married Paku, but survived dealing with Itagaki to do so.
>>268191958Your body is not ready for expressive styles, kid, that's how pure energy looks like
>>268176319He's literally me!
>>268191614>You done good with this Paku, im giving Jack the arc he deserves.
>>268195912>After the marriage, the priest had this to say:Paru Itagaki's husband...IS STRONG!
>>268195494>It was quite blatantly spelledIt makes sense, probably her sharp appearance distracted me
>>268178270That's a wide chest.
>>268191253I doubt Fuyumura is an author's self-insert character but now I am sure the scene with Santa's dick appreciation was the thing she desperately wanted
>>268176048That dude's smile is unnerving.
>>268199936That's the first reaction, Sanda's smile keeps the series
>>268194743So who is Peter Pan?
>>268201448Considering the unhealthy obsessions with staying young I would say it's the school principal it's his neverland
