https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XrfX0K0WskIshiguro ranks (not in order) his favourite characters from his own manga, draws them in swimsuits and also talks about random stuff. >tfw Kon-senpai isn't in but her SD incarnation from that gag manga is>Ebi-chan is based on his first crush from elementary school
>>290637577Extremely cute bikini Hotori
>>290637577Might as well ask here.Does anyone remember the name of the seaside town Soremachi was based on?I would like to visit it.
>>290637577>number 5 is the only boy in the rankinghmm...
>>290639895>boy
>>290637577How would you rank them?
Are these based on design? #2 was only in like 2 panels.
>>290637577>Only place 9This guy has shit taste and knows nothing about his characters
I'm surprised Tatsuno is that high. He doesn't do that much with her compared to Kon and Hotori.
>>290639688Shimomaruko in the Ota Ward of Tokyo.
>>290644920Much appreciated
Someone screenshot all the swimsuit pics.
>>290642107His more fleshed out characters are nearer to the bottom. He said he has trouble seeing them romantically when he knows so much about them.
Most of the list is made of onee-sans and sempais. He certainly has a type.
>>290645414post that comic
>>290646449can I get this image in full qualityfor a friend...
>>290646449>>290647161Ebi being hotter than Titsuno is now canon.
>>290638671Potato girls are the best.
>>290647329>tfw you officially rank higher than Hotori
>>290649525So cute
>>290646829
#9 Tatsuno ToshikoDelicious. Harsh personality yet feminine.
#8 KujiraiThe complete opposite of Ishiguro
#& MimihimeBased on his dog
#6 EbiBased on his childhood crush
#5 KirukoDesigned to be cute
#4 NanakiI believe this is the only time we've seen adult Nanaki.
#3 Lance-chanA cat is fine too
#2 PriyankaHalf Japanese, half Indian. Neat.
#10 HotoriShe was at a bid disadvantage by being so close to the author but still made the ranking
#1 KirikoHis ideal older sister
>>290651629titsuno looking kinda small here no?
>>290651629sex>>290651677That's a man.>>290651708Who?
>>290651982>Who?The teacher to Maru's school, and his first crush.
>>290651693who>>290651699who>>290651708who
>>290652257>whoThe lesbian from Tengoku Daimakyou. The ice spider/ Juugo's mom.>whoA cat from Mokuyoubi no Furutto>whoSee >>290652182
>>290652343>The lesbian from Tengoku Daimakyou. The ice spider/ Juugo's mom.huh why'd it hit number 4 that's so random
>>290652368He seemed to be ranking them based on wanting a relationship with them. He said that he has trouble seeing his characters romantically so it looks like he had trouble making up the list. Nanaki specifically made it in because he likes her smile. He had a whole arc planned for her but it was cut so there's probably more to her personality that we just didn't get to see.
>>290651708>half Indian. Neat.Not neat. Ruined.
>>290652526>He had a whole arc planned for her but it was cut so there's probably more to her personality that we just didn't get to see.Unfortunate. Hope he can put it in a side story or extra.
>>290651865Yeah. Kiruko looks bigger than her here.
>>290651708>Sisterfucker>thirsty for brown/underage lickable pussyIshiguro is Tominopilled...
>>290651653Said dog
>>290654636Would pet
>>290651677>>290651693>>290651699>>290651708>>290651719>>290651732His face cracks me up
>>290651104I feel like sisterfuckers haven't wrapped their heads around that you're supposed to have an inherent biological nudge to not get horny over siblings if you have them. It's not just "if you knew what it was like to have a sister you wouldn't want it", it's that if you have a sister the potential for the fetish evaporates from your consciousness as a product of evolutionary conditioning. Unless you do still have it and then you're a real freak.
>>290651708In the video, he said that she would appear again. She already appeared in chapter 73 in Maru's VR. Is that what he meant or will we see her again after this?
>>290651664>>290651699>>290651708>>290651732lolicon furfag big sisterBasically anything feminine with a hole
>>290655879I'm pretty sure Ishiguro does have a big sister.
>>290651699>a cat is fine toolegend
>>290651719that's a healthy amount of cleavage for our girl
>>290655879>Unless you do still have it and then you're a real freak.
I really wish this would get a physical English release
>>290651664>the Takagi-san archetype is pretty popular lately, right>don't be fooled! my Ebi-chan came before Takagi-san>she's based on my childhood crush who would always tease me
>>290657541I wonder if Crunchyroll is still squatting on the license? I think I'll just get the Japanese tankoubon from Mandarake at some point.
>>290658004Yeah, the full sets aren't a bad price, I just want to commit more to learning nip before buying something that'll take up that much space on a shelf
>>290649452>dodge this
>>290652343>The lesbian from Tengoku Daimakyou. The ice spider/ Juugo's mom.Are you sure? What's with the tribal tattoos? She never had them in the manga.
how the fuck do you write Soremachi and Tengoku at the same time? from a wholesome heartfelt comedy to... gender bender rape NTR. dude is a fucking freak
>>290658676Yeah I agree. I know a lot of people like the new manga but I've been reading it purely out of shock at how bad it is and I just dont get it. The whole thing is just sloppy writing with underwhelming plot points and cheap shock value. It genuinely boggles my mind that it could be from the same writer as Soremachi. Just one of life's many cruel jokes I suppose.
>>290658676But he didn't write them at the same time.
>>290658676The best artists always are
>>290658676>gender bender rape NTRI'll never for give him for this. Not for introducing controversial themes but for causing insane mental illness in the anons here. Seriously some of you faggots need to move the fuck on
>>290658562This is her adult version.
>>290637577Kon is still number 1 in my heart!
>>290659359>>290661806if it was an unrelated work I wouldn't really care, but putting in next to Soremachi just feels wrong>>290661224debatable
>>290662633>but putting in next to Soremachi just feels wrongOh you're one of those "he made a cute series so he can ONLY make cute series" faggots. Fucking grow some balls
>>290662676he can do whatever he wants but it's fucking filthy to see it happen in the same artstyle
If I were to make a list of my top Ishiguro characters, almost all of them would be from Soremachi. Maybe 1 or 2 from Tengoku.
>>290662958>he can do whatever he wants but it's fucking filthy to see it happen in the same artstyleFag
>>290662958People have the weirdest hang-ups.
Were any of you guys even here when soremachi was dropping monthly
>>290663349Only for the last few volumes.
>>290662394But which Kon?
1. Hotori2. Kon3. Tatsuno4. Fukuzawa5. Shizuka6. Mikura7. Mimihime8. Haribara9. Ebi 10. RyouNot enough Furutto is translated to judge it fairly.
>>290660931Titsuno
>>290663558THE Kon. Although Tabafu is a close second.
>>290663289I know that kenganbros are one with trash but that doesn't mean everybody else has the same taste
I think Ishiguro said that he put a lot of his negative personality traits in Kon so maybe he just can't see her romantically because of that. Still crazy that she isn't top 10 with how often he writes her doppelgangers into his manga.
>>290663349I was far too busy on /co/ during that time
>>290651104>>290651117>>290651127holy shit i had no idea he was this basedhe's one hundred percent drawn hotori and takeru fuckingAND HE'S HIDING IT FROM US
Soremachi 2 when?
>>290671000After HD ends for sure!
>>290651693Did we ever see the other women in the walled city? I only remember them being obscured in shadow but they might all have tattoos too. At least the pigs did.
>>290651693>>290651699>>290651708>>290656414mmmmBased.
>>290655879The thought still pops up for me every now and then but I'm pretty sure I have OCD so I don't put any stock into it.
>>290673879Well I try not to, at least. And just to be clear, it does not arouse me. When I say "put any stock into it" I mean "fill me with paralyzing anxiety and sometimes suicidal ideation."
Kon's birthday is next week. I wonder if this thread will last until then.
>>290674954If it doesn't, she'll get her own thread.
>>290677241measurements?
>>290677549Big
The real official rankings.
What would a sequel to Soremachi be like?
>>290651732Someone make these transparent.
>>290656414This and the sequence where Maru drops the tranny hentai are the best ones in Ishiguro's career as a whole.
>>290679533Post time skip, Yukiko is the MC. Hotori is mystery novelist that goes around trying to find real mysteries for inspiration and takes Yukiko with her, similar to what Shizuka did with Hotori.
>>290679975Would Kon have her own indie rock band?
>>290680896Has Kon's retired VA done any songs before soremachi
>>290680896She'd be working at 711 lmao
>>290680896Kon went into a fashion university. She'd be dressing rock bands and crafting disguises for Hotori on the side.

>>290695967I like how she's one of the only characters to take Hotori's detective skills super seriously.

>>290699232I'm wearing Tatsuno's already
>>290658117>>290658004I bought them all when i was on a Japan trip some time ago. Almost went over my weight limit for the bags, but it was worth it
>>290657541I would pay an insane amount of money for it. Whoever has the license is an idiot.
>>290651732Why did a brain transplant cause her breasts to triple in size?
>>290701904Because she was a teen there and Kiruko's bust is after a 5 year timeskip.

>>290651719wife
>>290714512He has a wife and a kid. I think some of Tattsun was based on his wife.
I like that this whole thread is Soremachi despite 5/10 of the list being Tengoku Daimakyou characters.
Reminder that Ishiguro is literally a femboy.
>>290715473we all know which series is superior
>>290715584He likes brown girls and is a siscon, he's based in my book regardless
>>290716935You think he's based because he likes chocolate, I think he's based because he wrote a manga with a plot about a guy becoming his sister. And then getting raped and enjoying it.We are not the same.
>>290716802I love Hotori. Tengoku does not have Hotori. It's that simple.
>>290716989>enjoying itDid we read the same manga?

>>290732581I wouldn't say 100%. More like 80% yes. Shaft had its problems.
>>290744707I liked Nishi sensei a lot. Her trying to charm Moriaki, and mostly failing, was really cute. I'm glad that they're implied to get together and that the time traveler is their descendant. I only wish we got more of her. Actually, I feel like we don't see a lot of the school side of Hotori's life in general.
Sniffing and licking mimihime!
I would love to see more of Ishiguro's oneshots translated. I think his style of twists and punchlines work really well for them.
>>290752002We didn't get much of them but those two girls were fun. Ishiguro knows how to write loud girls.
Imagine Mimihime in Soremachi. I think Ryou would do well in Tengoku too.
>>290754957She has a nice set of missiles.
Soremachi season 2 or Tengoku season 2?
>>290758086Soremachi and it is not even close
This artist is so good a making sexy girls. The more normal they look, the hotter they become.
Is this the author that drew the mc getting ntr’d and got away with it?
>>290759754Normal girls are best. Ishiguro perfected the potato girl.
Wiggly woman
>>290741232>Shaft had its problemsSpecifically in regards to Soremachi? Like what? This is my favorite manga but I only read it in the first place because I liked the anime so much
>>290725634Did she just pee?
>>290761942The anime was filled with Shaft's usual quirky directing with the random cuts and angles. The anime felt bare bones in some regards too, like how the environments were minimal and sterile, taking away from the coziness of the manga. And I'm no puritan but I'm not a big fan of how much fanservice was added or at least not how prominent it was. The manga's fanservice was more subtle and I think that is much hotter.I still really like the anime and I think it added a lot of good things, but it's the little things that change the tone just enough to make me not completely satisfied with the adaptation.
>>290762710Fair points, I really like Shaft anime but I see what you mean. Out of curiosity, did you read the manga before you watched the anime?
>>290762930Anime first. I enjoyed it a lot so I read the manga after and it quickly became my favorite. I've watched and read both multiple times.
>>290651653>mimi is based on a dogcute
>>290637577so Haribara is number 0, right?
>>290762545the water didn't go yellow though
>>290762991I have been thinking about rereading it for awhile now, seems like the kind of manga that, in some aspects, will be even better on a second go. Maybe partly because of the non-linear story. I only started reading it because of the story time last year (which I had to continue on my own, thanks to this place going down for a month or so), but it had been sitting in my backlog for awhile. Like a lot of the source materials for Shaft adaptations
>>290763307She is in our hearts.
>>290763836Soremachi is a fantastic manga to reread. There are tons of details crammed in that you'll only notice on a second or third go around. I'm pretty sure the manga was written with that in mind.
>>290765890Cute tanuki mask but why is she wearing two of them?
>>290766307double the cuteness
>Hotori #1He just said that to not piss off the Soremachifags since the list is mostly not them
>>290769785I'm pretty happy with where she placed.
>>290637577Thx
>>290769527Why is Haribara eating a shrimp?
I should watch/read Soremachi, I only hear good things about it.And it has maids. Maids with big tits and glasses, even.>>290762710>the environments were minimal and sterile, taking away from the coziness of the mangaDoes it have Shaft's signature>INEXPLICABLY LARGE>EMPTY>HALLWAYSamong other things?
>>290771727Yes
It is now the 8th in Japan.Happy birthday, Kon!
>>290772437Of all the people to share a birthday with, I'm surprised she's one of them.
Happy birthday to Ishiguro sensei too.
imagine the ss
>>290773539Imagine dragging your cock across their rotund, potato-like faces
>>290773539>takeru_POV.pngbut neither of those girls are hotori
Birthday chapter
Tats birthday soon too.
>>290774039I see she has no intention of falling for that whole Nigerian Prince thing.
>>290774026Majority of commercial locks are really cheap and simple stuff, so they aren't difficult, though Kon must still have practiced.
It's funny rereading early chapters with Kon. She seems much cooler than she does in later volumes after we learn she's a dorky baby. Compare her with Takeru in volume 4 vs 11. Obviously this is explained by her getting more comfortable with the Arashiyamas over time but the non linear timeline makes it seem like she suddenly got shy with him for no reason.
>>290772437yippee! yahoo! wahoo!
I want to touch Kon's fangs.
Choose your Kon.
>>290783231there is only one kon for me
Kon is FLAT
>>290784439that's so fucking hot
>>290784439GOOD!
>>290784824Agreed
>>290774049maido is especially aho in this one
>>290785969Hey, Hotori
>>290787013Do you think the manga would be better if Kon was a full time maid at seaside?
>>290772437Happy birthday.
>>290788035There's a dumb bird in the way, previous ones were better.
>>290787957it's great enough as is
>>290788035I was just about to post this, nice
>>290787013
him and mizukami being friends/rivals is fun piece of lore. I'm sure mizakami is also friends with Oshikiri, but not sure about Oshikiri and Ishiguro
>>290792314enjoy your ban
>>290788035Really cute
>>290787231Perfection.
>>290791607Every time she starts to shakin', the dumb begin to talk
Reminder that Kon dresses like a dorky goth clown.
>>290792314Kon's infamous on stage wardrobe malfunction. The band's popularity skyrocketed after this.
>>290794893and that is a good thing
i would like to say that i think takeru is VERY cute

>>290797854I like that she went to a fashion school. She always wore these flashy outfits despite being such an introvert. It's cute

Kon's kons
Lots of birthday art this year
>>290788035His Soremachi characters always look adorable when he draws them digitally. They come off a little more childish than in his analog style.
>>290812710Iconic dress. It was only in one chapter but everyone loved it.
>>290637577Do you ever wake up at night, sweaty, thinking to yourself>Why does Soremachi not have more hentai?
This still gets me hard
Get all the Kons in while you can. It's Tatsuno day soon.
>>290814801Nurse, help. I have Hotori fever.
>>290813513I checked pixiv a few months ago and there was a flood of low quality ai pics. Grim stuff.
>>290813513I sleep during the day tho.
>>290662394Very much agreed.
Happy birthday, Tatsuno!
>>290816911So do I. I sleep during the night AND during the day too sometimes, and that's almost always during work. Like now I just casually went to bed at 11 and slept until 2PM and I didn't even turn on my "pretend to be available on Teams" script. I thought "eh it's just two hours away during lunch time, no one will notice" (turned into three hours).But I did not dream about naked Hotori today.
Hotori screwed Tatsuno out of a relationship with Sanada simply by existing, but I choose to believe Tatsuno and Sanada got together post timeskip.
>>290817861Put a mystery novel under your pillow for Hotori dreams.
>>290820588how do I get a naked kon?
>>290821459nirvana cd
>>290821538How do I get a Shizuka dream?
>>290821459Buy her some concert tickets.
I miss having Hotori dreams. I used to have them all the time. Random dates around town with Hotori, sometimes something lewd. I just don't seem to dream much these days.
>>290822981the walking bird is walking away...
>>290763307Yes, Haribara is the final boss.
Has Ishiguro drawn Tatsuno for her birthday before? I've only seen his Hotori and Kon pics. I don't think he's even drawn Tengoku characters on their birthdays.
>>290825126So cute
>>290822981I'm sure I dreamed about hotori once, because I remember talking about it here. but it's been so long ago, I don't remember it.
>>290763307If Haribara was conventionally attractive I think a lot people would have her as best girl. She might even be in the manga more often. Why did the author do that to her
>>290828165Everyone has a price to pay.
i once had a dream where i met kon and nearly confessedbut i lost my nerve and couldn't do itwhich is odd, because my heart has always belonged to hotori
Tattsun seems like she would be a good wife.
I love meganekko. I love Tattsun. It's that simple.
>>290833334
>>290833017I would have loved if Shizuka had some chapters with Tatsuno. Tatsuno is kind of the foil for Hotori and Hotori takes after Shizuka, so they would have been fun together too.
Look away, Kon.
>>290836339That's a maid Cafe I'd visit
>>290828694>titsuno is completely insufferablelogic tracks
>>290839363Tatsuno has no flaws. You can't name a single one.

>>290840503>Tatsuno in D>Ebisu in C>Monke in BThis is all kinds of wrong.
>>290828165True SoreMachi fans know that Haribara is the best girl. They know she's beautiful.
>>2908426157
>>290843125Haribara was adorable in the middle school flashbacks. She got really cute when Ishiguro started rounding out his art style.
Where my Uki bros at?
>>290846655Shocked by how cute Hotori is.
I want to squeeze Hotori's soft squishy body.
>>290849972Me in the middle
>>290849531Edit the sad parts.
>>290842615>>290844189
>>290853014A few very good options
I love Fukuzawa and how much she annoys everyone around her.
Soremachi
>>290855969maybe the real sore was the machi we made along the way
Pufferfish cheeks.
>And Yet the Town Moves>Town doesn't move
>>290857288You are part of the town and you are moving
>>290857303
>>290855969Why is the machi sore?
>>290858349Nani?
>>290858762Incredibly cute. Seaside might actually be popular if they did this.
>>290852955sometimes hotori gets in the wayof what I really feel I needed to say
I appreciate Shaft giving Hotori a fat ass.
>>290840503I'd say good taste if you didn't put so many ugly ones in A especially, some slightly less ugly ones in S and more uggos in B. And why would you put the girl who looks like short haired Hotori in C with the dysgenic down syndrome sufferers and the big tits glasses girl in D with all the ugliest women?t. subhuman anime-only cattle
>>290853014thought this was all kinds of sperm that got released in Hotori before I scrolled up, phew
>>290858349Because season 2 never
>>290862982>and why would you...guaranteed replies
Who did you land on?
>>290863402Meido!
>>290864843art ho begone
dead
>>290865877Shut up, Tatsuno.
Tatsuno's Tatsunos
Hotori could have solved all of Tengoku Daimakyou's mysteries in an afternoon.
>>290870552the real question is, could maru and kiruko do well as seaside meidos
>>290870611Maru would be a great maid. Kiruko would be too jealous to do a good job.
I'm surprised there isn't a lot of Soremachi x Tengoku crossover art. Also I really like Tatsuno's fuzzy shirt.
>>290637577Why is there never any Haribara fanart?
How often do you think
>alternate timeline Kon made it in to her first choice uni>main Kon didn't Is Hotori absorbing everyone's intelligence?
>>290873621
>>290871104What is this
>>290637577I just looked it up, and apparently this ended 10 years ago. I remember watching the anime in 2010.I remember there was some yuri subtext with Hotori and the blond girl. Kon, right? Did that ever go anywhere?
>>290874764the manga did.
>>290874957Wait, what? Really? I didn't think it would be that explicit. Well. I guess I am going to binge read the manga now.Because I really enjoyed the anime.
>>290874987No it didn't, that's fake.
>>290875112You're telling me a person over the internet lied?
>>290875158Well, the right half of the image is real lol. But you really should read soremachi anyway. There's not much in the way of yuri, but it's a fantastic manga. Easily my favorite.
>>290875176I will read it. I still remember that episode where Hotori died and she started crying as she missed her friends and family. Really stuck with me for some reason.
>>290793064
ryou sexo
>>290876680Sex woman
>>290877999How did he land her?
I love Hotori so much. No other girl anywhere comes close.
Hotori has buttTatsuno has boobsWhat does Kon have?
>>290879389Talent!
