On the occasion of its ending, I will storytime Ura Baito, one job per day. Most jobs are around 3-4 chapters, and self contained, so feel free to join at any time.Today's job: Beach House Staff Previous thread:>>291168181>Ura baito, also known as a shady part-time job. A gray area job that pays very well. The price you pay is your life.>Yume Kokuryo and Nagomi Shirahama are in need of money in a hurry. To that end, they casually dive into various shady part-time jobs

>>291235418>say AAAA for me please
>>291235055>>291235059AIYEE NOT THIS ONE AGAIN
Done. Barnacles are icky. See you tomorrow!
>>291235515Great page. This is when the manga begins its greatness.>>291235622I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't submitted.
>>291235059
>>291235624hama needs a lot of padding to fit into that bikini
Everyone won, didn’t they?1) Eguchi-san reunited with her daughter even in his new bernacles-shape.2) The Great One won, or something like that3) We saw Yumi big tits in a bikini (but not her ass, really disappointing)
>>291235515It's really reminding me of blame
>>291235069Yume's boobs has taken another man hostage.
>>291235597Is the shape in the sand supposed to resemble something?>>291235622How did the being bypass Yume's nose? Is it too powerful for her to sense or is it because it's not a danger to her?
>>291235632I thought he didn't? If he did he wouldn't have come back to the beach at night, would he?
>>291235622Nice to have a few downtime arcs once in a while. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>291236798to me it looks like this entity is impossible to fully comprehend for the human mind so maybe thats why it evades yume radarit also doesn't seem interested in yumehama for some reason, but i don't think the text explains why
>>291237229self correction: it's not interested in them because they don't resist its influence, it is all in the text i just cant reas
>>291235317You know, Junji Ito spoke of this.
>>291235515
>>291237611That Ito's story was more like the one about the aquarium than this one.We are talking about the monstruous deep sea of creatures full of humans, right?
>>291235418https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwzYTvMpJLQ
>>291235550Oh my fucking god.. just look at this temptress; isn't she beautiful?
>>291235515An incredibly poignant page. Manga author's shouldn't be afraid to be experimental.
>>291238018I just realized i misused an apostrophe. Fuck my ESL life.
>>291235550>>291235556The creeps were right, she does look good in a swimsuit
>>291237611junji ito would start with that then end the series with buddy yume chan walking down a desolated world
>>291235624Thanks OP
This is my favorite job of the entire manga. The atmosphere is perfect, the feeling of dread Yume mentions, the difference compared to other jobs. Even the comedy bits. >>291235515And this is unironically the best page in the manga.
What Gray just attacked us?
>>291235597This Grey is like Fisshu on steroids.
>>291239277buddy yume chan took care of it
>>291239277Angie. I think she ate my good boy cookies.
>>291235345>>291235353I like how aside of being a good set of pages, it subtly teases Yume's actual power.
>>291235622Man there are some bleak jobs but this is fucking up there
>>291236798It's not a danger to her
>>291236798>Is the shape in the sand supposed to resemble something?Its the shape of a person
>>291236798She couldn't do anything to escape so her nose doesn't even bother to try and distinguish anything.

So is the Great Being creating new people and turning the old people into barnacles or is it making barnacle people that everyone acknowledges as new people?
>>291242458It creates people, i think it recreated eguchi first and then after talkign with him it finishedt the job and turned him into thebarnacles thing
>>291235228Early sign that they’re being affected
>>291238822That's only some of his workHis other work will have the beach filled with monsters and ends abruptly
>>291235522I take it as the great being wants him to accept his daughter is back, instead of gone?But why
>>291235624Thanks OPGod I hate this episode
>>291241997>Rejection of the entity will result in the death and replacement/rebirth of the victim. >Meeting the entity will result in the death and replacement/rebirth of the victim.So just accept your loss and fuck off from the sea or never show up in night again, I guess the great being is a child that hating to lose
>>291235152billions of blue blistering barnacles...
>>291235228Hama, do you want them to flirt with Yume or not? Make up your mind.
>>291237611Junji Ito spoke about a lot of things.
>>291235325Eguchi is strong!
>>291243611But can he beat the super baldy bros
>>291235418>>291235435>gigantamax gengar
>>291235418>here comes the airplane!
Can Yuma Full Power Omniscience detect about great being?
>>291243217he is, first and foremost, a comedy mangaka.
>>291243916Every good horror mangaka is.
>>291243908She might be able to detect that the ocean is bad news if she's really far away, but if she gets too close she'll probably still be controlled. Besides her omniscience she's otherwise a normal human being after all.
>>291235624If you look at the cross-section of a barnacle, you'd see a shrimp. Evolution is so wonderful.
>>291243638Highdiffs JinLoses to Yin
>>291235624>a great being is playing house with human dolls>protagonist resists the manipulation>gets cheered on by JKs>the great being personally gaslights him This chapter isn't real. It's just another cycle of guilt.
>>291244215Check this outhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SacculinaIts a barnacle, yes a fucking barnacle, that invades a crab's insides. You think the bulbous part coming from the crabs reproductive organs is the barnacle but its true body looks like roots that grow inside of the crab and wraps around the crab's organs so it can control it.
>>291243856>>291240377
>>291243856
>>291246402God damnit
>>291246417Heh. I knew someone was gonna do that.
So I guess this was a grayt being?
>>291245685Yo, even if it fills me with dread, this is a really cool survival strategy
>>291245673Oh my fucking got bruh it's all connectedMy sign to reread some of Jiro Matsumoto's masterpieces
>>291235046LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Man I should really go fuck with that guy at the beach house lol
>>291239087its one of the few pages in the manga that makes me feel uncomfortable(i'm not counting stuff like barnacle becausen tryphobia is lame), that one is great
>>291235515Ever been DEEP underwater?It's nothing like this at all.
>>291247498
>>291245673trust the process. the prophet knows what's best. it can calculate massive equations in the times it takes to boil noodles, after all.
>>291235632>>291243274My guess is that he needs to submit to the great being's power in order to be recreated. Otherwise he'll just drown and die and people won't say "he's back". That's why it only brought back 1 billion people while killing 1.3.>>291243985I wonder how it will get nerfed post reset. I guess it's going to be more like Fisshu. Or maybe Fisshu IS the nerfed version?
>>291247974OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTO!
>>291235556I would have loved to see our girls on more dazzling outfits but I fucking respect the author by him respecting her girlsGOATand this arc, besides the supermarket, are my favorites!!!!
>>291253351there is no respect if he didn't show us their ass

>>291247974>>291252116
>>291245685Damn nature, you scary
>>291235556"The" Great Being? I clearly see two here!
>>291248864In street clothes it looks like a brief flash of optic receptors failing to reach your visual cortex before the whole thing is compressed to a cubic inch of ground beef, the Great One is conveniently offering him a symbolic vison of emptiness
Today's job: Funeral Hall StaffChapter 51: Funeral Hall Staff (1)
>>291260939HAGMa-chan...
>>291260390this is a common misconception about oceanic pressure, you will not in fact be compressed into a cube as you descend. (Delta P incidents are because of delta P. There needs to be a pressure difference. This is why the OceanGate guys exploded into mist.)You are made of water. Your internal pressure equalizes with the external as you descend, and what usually kills people is the air-gas mix changing due to the pressure. Assuming that can be resolved through some manner of gas mix, exactly what level of water pressure would actually physically kill a human is undetermined. There has to be a level where the pressure fucks up your biorhythms, your tendons, muscles, and so on, but no one actually knows what that crush depth is.My bet is the 'crush depth' (again assuming perfect respiration solution in your lungs) would be caused by pressure differentials between bone and muscle. But who knows exactly what pressure that is? It might not actually exist.
>>291260875Oh hell yeah, this one. This run was generational.
>>291261029>try jumping

I don't know, I feel these villagers might not be right in the head!
>>291261092I got a relative coming into this world in a couple months. I should do this at their birth.
>>291261131Nah, those guys are alright
>>291261174Yikes, here's evidence of the timeline being fucked up. They've been at it for "almost a year" but the family restaurant part-timers heard of them over a year ago :/
>>291260980That sounds really complicated, in any case I'm glad Eguchi's back.
>>291261218>Survival instinct? What for?
>>291261226You shouldn't assume that all the baitos happen in order.

>>291261522that onomatopoeia is just laughter, yeah?
>>291261193I hate this kid. Who whines about sleeping between two onee-sans?

Why does Yagi look like that?
>>291261279Well, if you follow the grey's ledger the events seem to be in a chronological order, however if we assume that the XX of the year are always the same and in succession too.>>291261193Shota-kun... No, wait Souta-kun is so lucky...>>291261481Karnov, you fat bastard! What would Shantaee say if she saw you?

>>291261561Thanks OP
>>291262279well she does say "Unnatural"
>>291261153ENTER
>>291261561this oen always hit harder for me she somehow stuck on hell and still managed to at least warn her kid
>>291263343A stinky Gray fucking shit.
>>291264315To me it's just kinda cliche. Not the best story we've had so far.
>>291264659name 3 stories that have eternal suffering hell that the person manages to send back message warning about it
>>291262279tbf it's still weird even if other cultures do have celebratory funerals, because in the other places they have food, dance, etc. it's a party, while here it's got all the dressings of a traditional sad funeral but they don't act like it at all.
>>291235622First time reading this and it's fun to see how Ura Baito breaks its unspoken "rules" to fuck with the reader>Everyone should be safe once the job's done except just kidding downer girl's dead>Yume and Hama out of everyone should be aware something's off except just kidding the great being is too op
>>291264680I mean the whole concept of >dying... is hell!Is cliche, not really the epic twist the story presents it as. And people being able to warn their loved ones out of the power of love even if they're trapped by some demon/magic/etc. is pretty common too.
