AD2080 Japan is an aging nation with only 50,000 children left, while adults are obsessed about the fight against aging using the most radical means of experimental medicineAn ordinary cheerful 14-year-old Sanda discovers a super power in himself - he can turn into a jacked Santa Claus when he puts on something red. Initially forced to help his classmate Fuyumura in search of her friend Ono, anda eventually realizes what a great responsibility has fallen on him for all the children in this country. But will the boy's heart be able to withstand the adult challenges of this crazy world?
Chapter 20 - Supernatural KickPreviously Amaya, Ono, and Fuyumura gave the best doping for Santa - children's sleep so he could fight with principal Ooshibu on equal footing. But what will happen next?
Not bad for an old man
It seems that this is not enough
You kick like an old man, Santa
If he's not bleeding, why does he lose the screw?
So artificial legs too
Time to prove Santa's immortality
He mentioned that an artificial heart means no sexual life, so he probably didn't need that part. Yagiuda's trick failed
Someone watched the fight in the shadows
They definitely know each other
This grandma knows how to fight too
No cane for you, young* man
A new character was introduced: a rector of the school(comically shrunk because of her age)
>>268847035>If you wanna feel young, walk without a canerekt
That's all for today Santa believers, as you see Santa's ass was saved this time, but who knows what will happen next. Sanda reveals himself to the principal and looks like Santa lost this battle.Also, I failed this time with links to previous threadsChapter 1 >>268175901Chapters 2-7 >>268207825Chapters 7-13 >>268436956Chapters 14-19 >>268644402
>>268847087Ewww old
>>268847263But she can still drink alcohol, unlike a robotic rejuvenated man, she is a good talker too
>>268846314Man's got a screw loose.
>>268846470No he said a 92 year old's heart means that. Of course an artificial one would be youthful and vigorous
>>268848772Did he not replace his heart?I feel like that's one of the first things you should replace, since it's a single point of failure.
>>268847087>The school has both a principal and a rectorAren't those basically the same thing? What's the nuance of their Japanese titles?
>>268848942Yes he did, that's why he talked about how bad his old heart was when he threatens Yagiuda with it >>268645274
>>268848959I am not sure but I guess in this case they found a sneaky way to stay in the school together
>>268848959the nuance is a rector knows kung fu
>>268846314Dude's put together with wood screws
>>268849802Reverse Pinocchio treatment.
>>268846470>nut kickAh, the Itagaki classic.
>>268846470Truly she has the blood of her forebears.We just need the piss.
>>268847087Thanks for the storytime, anon.
So is the anime gonna reach the "teacher uses the toilet to poop out the ring but actually it was just a ruse" chapters?
>>268850580The what
>>268850580Well, I doubt the Ono-Fuyumura-Sanda arc is enough for 12 episodes, so she definitely should appear
>>268850637It's not as coorazy as it might sound, like everything in this manga.
>>268850580It was a bullet, not a ring.
>>268850637Chapter 50-51.>>268850809But will that scene be in or no?>>268851716It's been a while so apologies for the mix up.
>>268852311>But will that scene be in or no?It's an important character building scene, you can't remove it
>>268846388>Paru draws a monster>a few pages later>no, this hottie can't be that bad
Catching up via older threads with this odd-ass cool manga, thanks OP. Finished Beastars at some point and wasn't sure what to think of it, but this looks more promising and very slightly less weird. Just finished >>268576185 and I want skeletal goblin wife to rely on and support!
>>268846314fuyumura can probably put that screw back, she has like 3 different screwdrivers
>>268846778ENTER...?
>>268847087The hell is a rector?
>>268858713It's latin/olde bri'ish for principal, or something like that
>>268858713someone who rects
>>268854394Based
>>268854022I mean, is she wrong?
>>268860621Yes
>>268847087Thank you for posting.
>>268858713it's a word that appears when your manga gets translated from JP>ESP>ENG.Wait till you see how MTL it gets in the newest chapters.
>>268864631Honestly, I checked raws and google translate can't translate 理事長 right and detects it as a Chinese word for "chairman"
>>268865133Ooshibu is 学園長 btw
>>268864631I wish they had a QC guy. The grammar can be pretty bad
>>268854394I am glad you liked it, Santa believer, there are very correct conclusions
>>268847087Naturally well-aged vs. the unnaturally unaged.
>>268860180Scanlators didn't miss the point
i beleib in santa claus
>>268872574Based and Christmaspilled kid
>>268860574And Santapilled>>268867763I will always believe!
so after reading chapter 69 does that mean that every big american/western holiday is gonna get a fucking descendant
>>268875595Honestly, I doubt any other American holiday is well known in Japan, maybe only Valentine's day
>>268875595It's time to post spooky Fuyumura again
This is the time, Santa believers to continue this story, I hope you've been good kids today.Previously the fight between Santa Claus and Ooshibu was stopped by a mysterious grandma who turned out to be a rector(?) of this academy
Chapter 21 - A Baby Born From Time
Hands still reveal your age
Can't say looking like an emotionless mannequin can be considered a young
crunching joints-kun
Hm, she knows Ono
Those words stuck with him
And that's really sad
>>268865133>>268865379So she's "riji-chou" and Ooshibu is "kaguen-chou".Literal translation would be more or less "directing leader" vs. "academy leader". So yeah chairman and principal are probably the closest translations. The point is she is his superior, I guess.
>>268880307>seeing a child or grown person cry is really sad>here we get to see bothMan...
Santa is bad even in carrying elder people
>>268880055hit him with the>Say lessalso checked combo.
She attracts him
>>268880496How very on the nose advice.
You did great, Santa
Well, just after Ono was found, no time to rest
right into a debt pit
>he didn't believe SandaWhat a freak
>>268880989>believeSanda never revealed his name, only that he's 14 years old. And Ooshibu's eyes disconnected before he could see who yelled out to him.
>>268880989Thanks for the storytime, anon
That's all for today, Sandabros, as soon as one ambitious task disappears, another, even more ambitious one immediately appears.Santa is ashamed of the weakness of his body and wants to become stronger to protect even more kids
>>268877709Easter's been gaining a little traction lately, if only because of ~aesthetics~ and because it gives artists an excuse to draw characters in bunny costumes.
>>268881537We assume that Kazao is the Easter Bunny, but it wasn't spelled
>>268880678Ridiculous
>>268882447Good kids respect wise adults
The ultimate question: do I read ahead with wonder-filled eyes of a child, or do I wait for storytimes like a good boy?
>>268883691I would recommend waiting until at least the 5th volume because it's absolute cinema but it's not that bad to read further. It's a comfy manga to return to after
>>268883917Alright, I will gladly wait with my fellow sant/a/nons for this cinematic experience. Also>tfw not allowed to call things comfy or kino on some other boards because it deeply upsets peopleIt's like not even being able to call fun things as fun anymore
>>268881142Still, it's very obvious, Sanda, Fuyumura and Amaya are hanging together
>>268885926I get the feeling all the students look the same to the principal prior to them hitting puberty. like they might as well be stick figures with the word CHILD written on the face for how he treats them
>>268880129Abuse of position authority to attack subordinates!
>>268880989Thank you for posting.
>>268886300The argument is accepted, I knew a teacher who didn't remember any faces so 2 guys could pass exams for the entire class
>>268879160Holy fuck this bitch is anorexic
>>268879160>>268889524>like long hair>big tiddies>blondes usually>being a human being rather than a skeleton preferably>Fuyumura is super pretty and attractive to me for some reason
>>268889524You're not ready for a pure skeleton love
>>268889524take the skeletonpill anon
>>268889635Same, but I knew a tall and thin girl IRL and can say for sure she had some strange attraction you could logically explain. Fuyumura catches this thing
>>268890603Yeah, irl they sometimes had an appeal and I'm not sure why. They look huggable despite being as bony as fuck, I know I liked a girl when I was in highschool and a friend made fun of me saying I like girls with boys' bodies
>>268886625What he could do about? She's older
>>268889703Spooky.
>>268880055They fucking, right?
>>268890603since when was attraction supposed to be logical?
>>268896540Nothing in life is random.
this manga is so fucking bizarre
>>268899020It does it well.
Sanda!
>>268898042that's more a matter of semantics than anything, mr laplace
>>268895727For sure
