Are you an ADULT? Let BIG BROTHER decide that"What makes a 'proper adult'? Inspired by the words of his late father, Yutaro Urashima sought to become an upstanding member of society by developing and strictly adhering to his own "Articles of Adulthood." Little did he know, however, that those same articles would go on to dramatically change the world... A new series from the author of Hidarikiki no Eren! Witness the dramatic battle for survival in a surveillance society where reputation is everything!"I'm going to dump 2 or 3 chapters every day so enjoy the ride!
First 2 chapters are long so this is going to be slow, sorry
Damn truck-kun
Did he?
Eek!
He is too pure
>>291206667Great, always wanted to read this
You sick fuck
CHAPTER 2: NOW YOU'VE DONE IT
Hi Yutaro!
>>291207703Walp, that's a fucking nightmare all right. Thanks OP
>>291207770It's like tiktok but even more terrifying
He deserves downvotes for that hair only
Kill him
BASED
Throwing one more chapterCHAPTER 3: OLD MEN EVERYWHERE
>>291207688>>291207703Interesting.
ENTER
Just like real life
Stopping here, more tomorrow! Give me good rates I'm almost tier 6
>>291208979Thanks anon
>>291207080He's just like me...
So they got rid of train groomers but if a popular streamer can groom girls that's okay?
>>291207344MY DICK
>>291208442>OLD MENWARNINGWARNING
>>291207604Holy shit what a good hook, I was wondering what all the comments earlier were about
>>291206870Brutal.
>>291211227Yeah imagine being 30 and being unable to grow a proper beard, that must suck haha...
So people can see you shitting and having sex?
>>291206667Good luck OP. I stopped dumping it back then because of lack on interest, hope that changed.
>>291206745This is my conscious hero right there!
>>291206781Yutaro's dad was cool
>>291206972I can't believe Yutaro is an idol now. He needs to sell bath water before its too late.
>>291207023Yep. And I believe the story will validate it by the end.
>>291207190I honestly don't blame him.Not only is 15 years too much for any era. But the way things changed in these 15 years especially is too overwhelming.
>>291207241ENTER genuinely the best yandere we got in years.
>>291207261>Giorno drinking piss.
>>291207324Haha.....EVERYONE is seeing this
>>291207364I still would his mom.
>>291211959The whole article isn't even wrong. I saw myself people suddenly changing their thinking because the crowd said so. I used to think movies like Demolition Man were over the top but now...
>>291207617Feels like they just took line or tiktok and made that a government standard instead
>>291207688Gee that sure sounds like some chucklefucks in the government won't abuse their power and start preying on kids they fastpassed into adulthood
>>291207832Thank good groomers can groom you but they can now see you naked any time you want LMAO
>>291207437In retrospect, it does feel like religious devotion and not just admiration.
>>291207604Now the chat I'm imagining in my head is real!
>>291207782>>291207832I liked these early vignettes that showed how Garden wasn't all bad and it brought some benefit to society, rather than swinging in one direction. It pairs well with how it was accepted and how people like Yutaro's mom have no issue with it.
>>291207929>Getting a job is this easyGarden is the future and minister Kuroda is my hero!
>>291208417Don't forget, he's still a Heisei era delinquent.
>>291208529>Nip cop acting toughHeh
>>291208601My HERO!>>291208667>He got the timing right
>>291208720>>291208742Heh, good thing this is all just fiction.
>>291208878Even bats?
>>291207770It fits for the upcoming Halloween month
>>291207967I don't want to post spoilers too much but this was too funny for me. You won't catch current Yutaro dead saying this.
>>291206818I cannot imagine a more honourable way to go. Any protector of cats has my respect.
>>291206870Man, in such a situation, I'd lose my will to live.
>>291213116That cat is now dead of old age
>>291213164Depends on how it was already. I've got a 17 year old who is still decently feisty for his age/is an annoying brat when he wants food
>>291213226glad for you mine died when she was 17 :( could have made her live 3 years more at least if I found the better veterinary sooner hope yours last way longer anon
>>291208979thanks, op
>>291208196I hate streamers so fucking much.
>>291213253 My condolences for you, hope to have at least 3 more years with mine as well, though I know that anything can happen at his age. He threw up some of his breakfast this morning from eating too fast and while I'm giving him some little by little, he wants more and is either pawing at my shoulder with his claws out or going into the kitchen where he likes the acoustics and yowling mournfully
>>291207929If only it was that easy
>>291207967What did she mean by this
>>291213737thanks, take good care of yours, watch over the kidney failure in cats the most at that age (don't worry plenty of cats lasts over 20), make sure your cat is happy and becomes even more of a geezer
>>291208979Thank you for posting.
What a fascinating satire. A bit on the nose, but really not that far away from reality, except you can't escape the legal system purely by public opinion. I'm interested to see where it goes like a modern Brave New World.
>>291208417Its what luffy would have wanted
>>291206667I've been reading this, it's kinda fun but I get why it's not hype.
>>291206870At least he's a damn handsome 30 year old
>>291206667I don't usually read modern setting stories with no magic/supernatural stuff. But I've had fun with this one.
>>291207604Fucking hell
>>291207212>>291207227I didn't know this was a white supremacist manga.
>>291208694>virtue signalingI hate it.
>>291213116Neko to Ryuu.
>>291220702Kek
>>291222351Truly a never ending performance.
>>291208694>>291222351What makes people like this? Seriously is npc tier to the point I don't see men "dating" with waifus weird anymore
>>291212658This reminds me of that movie where 2 cops needed to pretend to be in college again, one of them was a bully and used to be respected, he acted surprised when everyone sided with the others and found him too offensive
>>291206667Oh yeah, I need to read the latest chapter. Good luck OP!
>>291224287It's unfortunately had been ingrained to the new generation, at least in the west. For east, especially Japan, you can see it from artists raised/trained in western company/environment.
>>291206932Reiwa should've been ruled by Emperor Neo-Heisei
>>291207006I'm not ready for what I assume is the inevitable reveal that the cat was mistreated in some form or another
>>291207604Oh fuck
>>291207688>>291207703Fuck, that's a really good opening chapter
>>291207967I like the immediate recontextualization of this being the statement of a second-class citizen
>>291213708It is appalling that this isn't really different than how it is now. Narratively speaking, it's a good way to break down the fictional barrier and make the commentary hit harder
>>291208332I dont get it, does Garden not see this stuff too? Hes being so blatant here.
>>291208417Hell yeah
>>291208979Thanks for the read, OPUnfortunately, asking for rates isn't very adultlike, so I'm gonna have to give you at least half a cringe. I'm sure you understand.
>>291224297The 21 jump street reimagining?
>>291224844I have seen a female reporter forcing a smile while she was groomed by "aliens" saying they were misunderstood and her partners repeating this despite seeing how their own partner being groomed and uncomfortable (she also slowly walked to place herself behind cops with guns while she kept saying how poor those aliens are KEK)This manga is not even a parody.
>>291224287The simplest answer is that parents in the 00s bought into all the propaganda for paranoia, control, and status, so they slowly destroyed all opportunities for children and teens of the era to be let loose in public spaces that were their own and that they could be at as individuals. This made their only outlet the wild west of the burgeoning internet, so of course many ended up making it their entire lives, and caring too much about internet status and kudos leads to that sort of shit.
>>291224287Raising people with phones is BAD. Even parents making videos of their toddlers to SHARE with hundreds of strangers while the kid knows it make the toddler brain auto design itself to >I must act in a way that I can get as much validation from unknown people as possible People underestimate how DANGEROUS this is. It's not the same making vids of your kids to share just with their grandparents over making them a PRODUCT. At some point it's not that different from personality disorder because those people make up an entire different personality
>>291207703>voting is only at tier 5Then again he's a national darling who wrote the rules of society and he's only rank 6. so maybe that's strict enough
>>291224287This is just how peer pressure and social opportunism work. Once someone is a pariah others will turn on them for a myriad of reasons. Because they hated them before but never could voice it, to avoid being associated, to climb the social ladder on someone else's back just to name a few. It's pretty much an invitation to enact judgement without reprecussion.It's a not new phenomenon. Just like most similar behaviors it's engrained in how society function. Either because it had a purpose or was a consequence of another behavior.>>291224844>"Haha. That's our Guppy. Being a silly fella as usual!"The good guy optics effect is a real thing and you would be surprised at how much people get away with.
>>291226579Those are the worst, it's one thing to sell your dignity if you are in problems is another thing to sell your principles. No shit people are more and more isolated
>>291225006Yeah that one
>>291224989NOOOOOOO
DUMPING!CHAPTER 4: GOSSIP MAGAZINES ARE THE WORST
REALLY are the worst*
>>291229086Is that even allowed, can you opt out of surveillance? Then again choosing to do so means you wont earn social credits
>>291229124Answer soon
Sex too, right?Sex too, right?
>>291224813Actually come to think of it, if people can only legally become adults after government recognition, doesn't that make what the streamer is doing extra creept because he's hitting on someone who isn't an adult yet? To be fair streams being creeps to minors isn't new
It's fine
Can this 30 years old kid do it?
>>291229387You there op?

>>291229589>We haven't yet seen when Kuroda picked up the articlesIt's going to be an interesting revelation when the time comes.
>>291229331I get why the journalist would be reluctant, but I feel like if Taro just asked Kuroda straight up, he might just tell him everything.
And just like that, we lost Yutaro. Would you SELL your SOUL for more likes, anons?Stopping the bumping here, more tomorrow!
>>291211798I was there, thanks to you I got hooked, thanks for the recommendation!
>>291206667guess I'll read this thanks op
>>291230406I think it would be way faster to just adopt cats with Kuroda, Kuroda would give him 200 likes
>>291229698LMAO. That would be the first thing I look into if I ever woke up after a long time.>>291230069Mostly likely at the end of Marineford. That's a decent spot to fall into a coma on.

>>291229157If "adults" who are under 18 still cant drink, smoke, fuck, or get sent to war, then that kind of removes the whole "being an adult" aspect from the whole story. From the looks of it I think I can safely assume that people who dont have a high enough social credit score arent given protective status in exchange for their reduced rights.This just makes it a standard social credit score dystopia setting except they say "adult" instead of "virtuous person" and thats fine, but its just not what I was expecting from the initial set up.The main thing that makes this setting different is the fact that your social credit is determined by up votes from citizens rather than being decided directly by the government. It seems like this story is going to be more about social media and influencers than what it means to acquire maturity.
>>291232874It's a manga, they ALWAYS shit their pants during the sexual aspect. It's probably to avoid making it too mature/seinen, watching minors smoking and drinking because they farmed points somehow would have been interesting, but sadly it doesn't want to go all out.In fact minors shouldn't be able to participate in this system, their identities and faces should be blurried, because I doubt watching little kids privacy should be more acceptable than some 16 years old drinking alcohol lmao
>>291232874It makes sense that those things are banned since there would be a harsher response from the citizens if kids were allowed to do those things. Parents will approve a system that let them see where their kids are walking at night, not one that allows them to drink while they are still in high school.And we are still at the start. We will see more of Garden's reach as we move on with the story.
>>291231709being visibly nice to animals would be like the most basic vanguard index fund way to keep your social score up. like 95% of the population would be linking their stray cat hotel to their feed

>>291234179You mean the girls at the cafe aren't laughing WITH me when I'm reading 12 rules for life?!
>>291234282They are laughing AT you, enjoy losing even more points LMAO
we should make a 4chan club where we like each other to farm score
>>291233097>>291233326Youre missing the point I'm trying to make here. This has nothing to do with realism or the willingness of the Japanese to depict smoking or sex. The whole situation is unrealistic to begin with so it doesnt really matter if its slightly more unrealistic, and they can still talk about things like sex without directly depicting it if they have to.I'm talking about the language the author is using to describe his story. I don't understand why the author is so focused on the word "adult" when he is simply using it as a code word for being virtuous. He has set this work up as though he's going to make some sort of point about being an "adult" or being mature, but besides stating the widely accepted view that age doesn't always equal maturity or virtue in chapter 1, I highly doubt thats going to happen (mainly because I dont really think there is anything else to say about being an adult really). Instead I expect that this work will be dealing with what it means to be virtuous.This is most evident by the fact that the social tiers in this society separates people into good adults and bad adults rather than adults and children. The bad adults are still called adults, while they lose some of their rights, they are still regarded as adults. Meanwhile people under 18 are still treated as children regardless of how high their social credit score is. Not just by the law that still prevents them from drinking, but also by all the citizens giving out upvotes. Citizens are judging each other based of their own personal beliefs, and that will naturally be effected by their views on how people of certain ages should behave.>tl;drDespite the title, this manga does not seem to be about being an adult or maturity at all, but rather about the problems of having social credit scores and being a surveillance state. To be clear, I dont have problem with that, its just that the way this work is using the word "adult" is meaningless and serves no purpose.
>>291236818"Adult" is used in the narrative as a stand-in for the good qualities that one needs to be a good adult in society. Garden is obviously analogous to social media and the surveillance state but it's the plot devices by which the themes of the story are demonstrated. Most of which revolves about the qualities that a good adult should have. It's not "adult" in the legal sense where reaching a certain age let you drink and smoke.And there are more events that makes it clearer later in the story.
