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: Woodland Search Party Member Previous thread:>>291879011>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
Chapter 141: Woodland Search Party Member (1)
>>291963779YEAH KUROIWA CHAPTER!I was guessing from how grim the job is also IRL
Chapter 142: Woodland Search Party Member (2)
Chapter 143: Woodland Search Party Member (3)
Done. Green.See you tomorrow!
>>291963734fuck red, green is the hip new scary color
>>291963885>You can now die as Luigi
>>291964097We are Gantz, now?
Unironically, what the fuck can you even do here?
I do like this job but I never saw the point of using Green instead of Red.>>291964719Nothing, it's a Kuroiwa job, you're fucked.
>>291964719If you stretch things I guess you need to do go there with a bro you love very much? Then when you hesitate to rope each other you buy time until the thing is born, hopefully soon.
>>291963779How many is this motherfucker going to tease her about the info!?
Okay. I understand nothing.First why green and not red? Forest theme?Moreover, Yume and Hama didn't killed themselves, because they "loved" more each other than Jun.So hanged people turn to forest-baby-pine-cone right?
>>291963885Green is a safe color so I'm sure this is going to be a safe job.
>>291964209What would happen if they just stabbed him
>>291963933Nah, he's the worst guy for gray job. Especially for Kuroiwa's.
>>291964274I think I got most of it except this part.
>>291963885>Green
>>291964984Stamp had twelve spots, this is job four.
>>291963779good reaction face
>>291965024Green represents the forest entity messing with them. I'm not sure what red meant, people in threads have mentioned alternate timelines, so maybe stories with red panels are the ones were Yume and Han die.I think the hanged people are needed for more of those freaky babies to be born, not that they become them.
>>291963885remember to pay attentio to red and also the green you wil understand later
>>291964151>>291964163
>>291964284>Thanks OP
More volume extras!
>>291964719It's kuroiwa job its beyond ogre,some grays have patterns and shit kuroiwa stuff is just complete chaos
That's it for now.
>>291965458FATASS
>>291965439>>291965458this one actually cracked me up gues i'm stupid
>>291964109Ah yes, it's the mpreg job
>>291965421>check the series in question>apparently just a SoL manga with nothing surnaturalWell, that's uh, neat I guess?
>>291965601its kinda common horror mangakas sorta of have recommendations of SoL stuff
>>291965328I'm probably going to have to go back to the Kuroiwa chapters when that pin drops because I have no earthly clue what I'm supposed to be paying attention to
>>291965676I don't remember there being anything to pay attention to, just colors=spooky with a meta-twist conclusion.
>>291965743thats the joke anon...
>>291965421Can anyone post the cameo they made?
>>291965770oh...
>>291965794They were the cafe store employeesThis is (apparently) the satanist manager in the actual manga
>>291965945motherfucker looks like a twink there
What's the next job? We're getting close to the long one with the dirty air district or whatever it was called?
>>291966060That one is like 2/3 volumes away. It'll take a while.
>>291963755>baby>green kidFucking Stone Ocean.
>>291963865Another time where it stinks literally.
>>291963945>Yeah, I'll just go on ahead of the others. No need to worry, I'm built dif-
>>291963952Where did he get the rope?
>>291966288It's not a rope.
>>291966218It really cannot be understated just how foul the stench of decay is
>>291964016Oh shit, I'm guessing Yume's ability to smell danger is being overridden by the smell of corpses?
>>291964719Go with your hands tied behind your back so you can't kill yourself.
>>291964109An anon previously lamented that Ura Baito doesn't have doujins. Well here you go, mpreg chapter just for you.
>>291964217>Junta is 4chan
>>291965458Rare embarrassed Tokiko.
>>291965794Found the raws online, the chapter is quite long, so I'll only post their cameo.
>>291965231I think the weird forest babies were created through people hanging themselves, and green Junta is the thing born out of the original Junta and acted as a vector/seed to create a new nest?
>>291966611
>>291965458The strongest.
>>291966633
>>291964047Its Ura Baitover...
>>291965945Yep, that's how the average satanist should look like
>>291966612i think th ones getting pregnant give birth to a gray version of themselves
>>291966652
>>291966679holy cute

man I really wish they use more color variations on kuroiwas jobimagine purple kuroiwa job associated with deep sea
>>291963770>3 days after the second expeditionAt this point, why not sending a third part the next year...
>>291963779Oh fuck it's a Kuroiwa job, bloodbath chances up to the roof.
>green job was this earlyHuh I really thought that the job where you get Wonder of U'd upon looking at a dude's face was earlier than this one.
>>291963885>when a case is so bad it starts quoting (you)
>>291963922>Sounds of steps through the foliage becomes heartbeats and cries

>>291967219That one's already happend
>>291964719You can't do anything.If you survive, you survive by sheer luck.>>291965024I thought it was a cognitohazard that made people kill themselves.The bagworm things are either putting it out or it is from something else and the bagworms take advantage of the dead bodies to reproduce.
>>291966952that smile...
>>291967557I guess I missed the thread then.
>>291967503That would legitimately be unnerving. A color that is supposed to represent warmth and happiness instead being used for something sinister. But now that I've typed the word sinister, I'm reminded of Sinestro and the Yellow Lantern Corps who already did exactly that. Fuck.
>>291968349Tbh if the Kuroiwa jobs started cycling through all the colors of the rainbow it'd probably stop being scary and more ridiculous... Less is more and all that.
Which Dark Gathering ghost was it that made an entire forest its womb? This job kinda reminded me of that, in fact I briefly confused the two and thought we'd get a zoom out shot of the entire forest being a giant gray's womb.
>>291966952imagine a black Kuroiwa job.
>>291963885Green probably isn't even that bad. The red though...Good thing we can't see it though.
>>291968389Slitted Maiden from H Castle
>>291968539A lot more fuckable.
>>291968539That's the one, thanks.
>>291964274>even the forest green baby gets hanged
>>291964274This is about when shit starts getting really nasty.
>>291968556Kamui-san...
>>291968375pink Kuroiwa job...
>>291968349>That would legitimately be unnerving. A color that is supposed to represent warmth and happiness instead being used for something sinister.
I like how Kuroiwa jobs usually have some buildup before shenanigans ensue but in this one it just skips the lube and everyone dies 10 minutes in
Don't forget the spooky stream.

hey, yume would had cleaned this job if it wasn't for the rot smell
>>291963847You can kind of get a read on how those guys might've survived encounters with other Grey.

>>291974778I should properly finish Cultist Simulator.
>>291974778I need to actually sit down and properly play this game one day.
>>291974778THE MORE I SEE>>291974889>>291974903I've been replaying this month. it has its problems (like getting pretty grinding once you figure out the early game) but god damn the writing more than makes up for it. there's just enough to learn things and even affect gameplay but not to completely understand them. the mystery of the setting never goes away.
Not daily not wasted not tired
>>291974889Parenthetically I got into Fallen London after one of you mentioned itDoes it become less of a grind after you become a person of some importance or nah?
>>291975048The grind never stops. It is intended game design. I don't recommend doing more than playing Sunless Sea/Skies.
>>291975048not at all, in my experience.
>>291975048If anything, it should be easier since you have access to even more locations and thus more efficient grinds for money and materials. Fuck the Bone Market though.
>>291965439>>291965458In this universe, Tokiko wears a lab coat instead of a short sleeve shirt
Considering it's Halloween I hope the job today is a good one.

>>291964284https://youtu.be/HXKOsajNZY4?t=83
>>291975048No. Just play Sunless Sea. Sike, it's yet another grind lol. You can skip Skies. I wish I knew how to draw something like this Sun.
>>291974338>>291971868Kaya-chan's anime has begun on the Halloween rewatch stream.>>291975908
>>291977921>You can skip Skiesif you like sunless I don't see why you would do that.
>>291979112It's a matter of preference. Skies isn't the same.
>>291980055it's worth at least trying in my desu.
>>291979112Skies is too English and less mysterious.
>>291980798>>291979112I will explain more clearly.Seas is about an English society being swept away by the mysterious unknown.Skies is about the foibles of the English society being defined and critiqued by the mysterious unknown.In simpler terms, this sucks ass.
nikubami thread >>291980802
>>291981513nice
>>291975048Fallen London is the game you play if you really, REALLY like theorycrafting and optimizing trade routes of goods with a wiki open 24/7 (or if you just like the writing, there are people who try to collect every passage in the game). I think I spent about five months on it a few years ago, just reading through the wiki and thinking about what the fastest way to progress was and how to make the most money along the way and whether X niche piece of content could be made lucrative by doing Y.

>>291978359
I do really like this job, it's a fun one. And the Gray is kind of interesting since it's really malevolent for the most part but more like it doesn't really understand anything else.
>>291988136cute
>>291987822>Gray got updated to counter the forced smile metaYumebros...
>>291988229zamn...
>>291988299Just leave it to Daidai
>>291987156Did the author get their business killed by a supermarket?
>>291987822Feels like there's another loop hole you can take advantage of where you can also be joyful on the inside but not because of Funky Ponky. If I hire a bunch of people for a million dollars each to go into your store and beat the shit out of the Gray, they'll do so with glee.

>>291975019I've been playing it for the first time this month too, got 2 standard victories and 2 normal victories but........>I've been replaying this month. it has its problems (like getting pretty grinding once you figure out the early gameYes, it gets grindy quickly and for no good reason since the loop is mostly tedious.The game just needs more permanent non self-exhausting cards imo. (Lesson Learnt,Aspects from Mansus, etc) - Grinding is a bitch and every action taking 60~120 seconds is a no go >but god damn the writing more than makes up for itUnfortunately it's not as good no...>>291974903>>291974889>>291977921Imo Sunless Sea is just better writing wise and gameplay wise even if the grind is mostly the same, Cultist Sim is just to rigid and not "gamey" enough and the writing doesn't make up for it Companions stories and alternate endings are 100% better than Cultist.
>>291989471My problem with cultist simulator is that you'll only ever do actually exciting cult things when you're still learning and playing the game "wrong". Once you know how to get a standard victory there is no reason to summon anything or take actions that could get you a rival because those have large downsides and little or no upside.It makes sense because once you have occult understanding (as a player) then the path to ascension is just grinding hard work. But as gameplay it means there's not much to interact with.
>>291987156Guys I think I've spotted the gray.

>>291977921>spoilernta, but since the meat of the game lies in the text, I edited the game's save file and dumped a pile of money on my captain>>291979112The the heat gauge mechanic and the realistic artstyle are already massive turnoffs for me. Also the Forge of Souls was a massive disappointment, a shame too because I was so hyped for it ever since it was teased in one of the destinies.

>>291987556Ok ,that was Halloween like
Oh, we're fairly close to the Star Men too. That's a fun one.
URA!

>>291963847>Yume actually shouting for everyone to shut upThat's how you know it's bad.
>>291963885GREEN
>>291963933This guy is completely unreliable for a job this fucking deadly.
>>291964047IT'S ALL OVER
>>291964719It's a Kuroiwa job. There's nothing you can do.
>>291965071The Sea of Trees would probably retaliate and immediately kill them. It's using people as means to birth its offspring so it would no doubt be extremely hostile if something threatened its spawn.But it also looks like contact with "Jun" possibly allows it to infect you in a similar manner to what happened to the original so the SoT might not even need to react.
Its pretty popular, like Kengan Asura popularWould it get its own anime?>>291973411I actually do think that this is countdown to an announcement for anime
>>291999141idk, anime's usually made to boost the sales of the source material and baito defo isn't the most obvious choice for this kind of investment
>>291987504Nikke? Right? So exists an universe written by these big divine-alien autistic guys where Ura Baito; Persona 4; Neon Genesis Evangelion; Chainsaw Man coexist... (And Hokkaido is upside-down, maybe replaced by Madagascar or Florida?)I desire the cocaine and other funny drugs that those alien-divine guys use...
>>292000047>Hama & Yume get Gaucho-kun out of circulation shortly after it gets its collab with Persona 5
>>292000139Can't escape the Persona 5 curse even in the Ura Baito world
>>291999141imagine ura baito anime in the hand drawn format of yami shibai
>>291999141I like the idea of an anime, but this kind of horror manga usually don't translate well to animation.
>>291999141UB anime sounds like a disaster in the making just with the sheer number of panelling tricks, let alone Kuroiwa jobs
>>291988180Was poppy playtime before or after labubu?
>>292001469I think it can work on a smaller scope, for example as a short animated film that focuses on a single job. Someone suggested a live action adaptation that covers 2-3 jobs before, that would also work. One of those cases where you absolutely have to choose quality over quantity
>>292002829Poppy Playtime actually predated Labubu's popularity methinks
>>292002922labubu is from 2015
>>292002900I think the first job is underrated. It sets everything up perfectly.
>>292001469>>292002900A film adaptation isn't out of the question.
Film adaption arrivesBut it's an American one for Netflix.And worse a westernatizion, a simple "from the work of melted face zombie author: Ura Baito. Not the one that writes about spirals, immortal sluts, and a diplomats with baby-talk degradating fetish"Sarah Hyland has Yume; Kat Dennings as Hama; Kenneth Choi as Yagi; Mila Kunis as Chaka; Anna Diop as Toriko; Mara Wilson as Kuroiwa; a midget clone of Sarah Silverman as Daidai; Damon Wayans as Toriko's father.Yes, this is the bad timeline

>>292004163>Man, Komatsu, these mermaids are delicious! Wanna have some too, Yume-chan?

>>292010702>>292010769>>292010803>>292010859God King of the Ancient World who Walks Among Constellations and Hides Behind Planets>>292010894>>292010906He angered the God King and must suffer the consequences.>>292011022The God King returns to Earth after countless millennia in the cosmos
>>292011086>>292011098>>292011114>>292011127>>292011159He ascended to a higher plane of existence
>>292011447>>292011480I think the only people who can see outside of the cosmos without suffering ill effects are the ones who the Star Man recruits.Astronaut wasn't scouted like the astrologer dude and got wrecked.
>>292011236thinking of kyouko...;_;
>>292002968I know, I never said it wasn't
>>291968556I mean she is from H Castle...
>>292010659>disapproves of the drinking but appreciates the jokewifedat
>>292010834Whose stomper is that
>>292010751トリック
>>292010604She's right. It's so pretty to see it after living in a light-filled area for a long time
>>292010687Yume hardcore staring
>>292010960What will happen if I add pepper?
>>292013357>he saw it
>>292011086You had a good life.
>>292005540Clapclapclap
>>291987202He's completely lost it.
>>291987224>Gray daysHmmm
>>291987252That thing is so unbelievably obviously evil that I can feel it through the screen.
>>291987349>literally makes you into a marketable plushieUtterly horrible.
>>291987413>They're her brothersOh.
>>291987469NOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>291987504This truly is the worst timeline.
>>291987649>or something of the likeWhat do you mean by that.
>>291987822>Gray figured out the cheat strat and patched it out because of our heroesIt's unironically over.
>>292010546MAAAAAYDAAAAAY
>>292007272I think the manager says the truth when he explains you *can* not smile for a bit. He laughs as a warning here >>291987449 before killing the extras.
>>292011480My theory was that every universe is contained inside the head of a cosmic baldie like the one from that building where people's brains were taken. The baldie is God.At the end it will become clearer.
>>292011668He is thought, the Q guy lucked out
>Toy Store Staff were the first UB chapters I worked on>Didn't read it at the time so I was wondering why this Yume chick kept talking about literal bad smells
>>292010643Potentially, an extremely dangerous job. Not sure Yume's sense of smell goes beyond Earth's atmosphere...
>>292010942>>292010960>jumbo gyoza
>>292010702EYYY I'M WALKIN' 'ERE
>>292010751>no fun allowed
>>292010942>I have "arrived" Not again
>>292011022This page is what got me into the series after someone posted it in a Strike It Rich thread in response to the appearance of the star children's teacher
>>292011040What the hell is this gray bullshit>by the way, if you failed to observe john starman that night, you're completely fucked
>>292015896accept your fate you cant escape from "that" anymore
292011281292011298292011317Yeah, outside the cosmos is us: the author writing and drawing the manga, and us reading it. That's why the panel at the bottom of the page is peeling. You can also interpret it as the designers allowing this person to take a sneak peek behind the curtain.I read ahead of the dailies, and I believe the ending of the Kuroiwa jobs points to this, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek way.The breakdown of reality, timelines, and the third and fourth walls is one of the many themes of this manga. It reminds me of some of the works of Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Matt Kindt, and Peter Milligan.
>>292011098>>292011114>>292011127>>292011159https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WA9NXXAntc
>>292011962It says XX years later so you might be right.
>>292012878>>292013098Pretty sure it's just part of the plan to mindbreak you know who.
>>292011331So the smart alec didn't get turned into a starman. Meaning if you successfully observe one long enough then your head will be filled with knowledge beyond comprehension, but if you fail to observe one at all then you also get turned into one.
>>292011114Eva reference?
>>292017303I think the failing to observe rule is bullshit. The starman chooses the person who tries to find him the most.
>>291963734lol
>>292013877You will spark an intense online debate full of shitposts.
>>292017278could be both
>>292017303>>292017426Yeah, the guy did say he got tricked after all.
>>292017097the starmen do be vibing
>>292010769Suddenly this turned into a cosmic horror story
>>292011086>She tricked meWhy? She told him out straight what to do and what to avoid...
>>292011236Tokiko is being such a fucking shithead here lmao, Yume is a saint for not double tapping her
>>291987277I love when Yume and Hama are presented as spooky gray-dwellers from the other part-timers' perspectives
>>292013357Yume's crossing her legs weird
Anyone here interested in World of Horror?
>>292019615Never got around to picking it up, you like it?
>>291987349No, not ms. kitasatoWhy are you like this
URA
>>292018617That's a good question actuallyTokiko is sus but I don't really get what the guy's referring to here
>>292017426Alright, I got it, she pulled a "whatever you do, don't think about the pink elephant" on him. If you don't observe the starman, you won't be taken (actually, otherwise most of humanity would become starmen). It's when you feel pressured to find one that you get noticed by them and turned into one.Thought I'm still not sure why this benefits Tokiko/Q/Yayoi
>>292022234The whole "Starmen kidnap you if you fail to catch them" speech is bogus. They just pick whoever has an interest in them. Tokiko was from the beginning setting up the researcher as a sacrifice to get more messages.
>>292019615i didn't really manage to like the first time maybe i should try again
>>292011022
>>292022282They get an information burst for each Starman.
>>292011331>>292011265This one might be good timeline.It makes sense that the 'Gray' is further outside than in the bad one, and why looking outside too much might invite things in. That would be the final judgement of the Starmen.
>>292012878Tokiko joined Q because she was looking for her dad. They were definitely close.
>>292018141'Suddenly'?
>>292016704>I read ahead
>>292010942IMAGINE BEING AT TELESCOPES
>>292015896it ''spreads''
>>292011331Thank you for posting, OP. I trust you not to be blow my mind.
>>292016704Now, I cry because I have no talent and willpower for drawing and I will never draw "Gray at the end of the book (Yume et Hama) "
OP's not a gray... right?
>>291999141koreans already copied it
>>292024380I'd never stopped to be grateful that Ura Baito never stops the story to go "isn't it weird... that some people are poor... think about it..."
>>292024434I swear Koreans always have one one hit success and think they are the masters of it and start making the same type of slop non-stop and it always ends up being those sorts of shitty lesson or muh society.
Stop reading the daily while you still can.
>>292024600Of course anon, you have my word. By the way, I'm heading to the next daily thread.
im a motherfucking star men
>>292024600Pff, nice attempt. But the fellows at Q told me the daily contained extremely valuable information for scientific progress and it was completely safe to observe, so it's gonna take more than that for me to give up on Project Sacrificial Lamb.
>>292024937Fuck you, drop the sword of kings already
Fascinating stuff.
>>292025219Lame ass gremlim
>>292024600[SPOILER]We can't and you know it[/SPOILER]
Shhmen... you know what to do.
>>292025491Oh fuck off everybody knows dg yayoi that dumbss an
>>292024457Correction is needed
>>292025334
>>292024711>I'm heading to the next daily threadYou had a nice life.
>>292024600But Tokiko said I should not miss a single daily.
Gray Compendium>Gray: The StarmanA massive entity in space made from stars. >First appearance:Chapter 147>Method of Escape:Don't observe the Starman. >292010922>Details:Prolonged observation of the Starman can lead to madness. >292010942For those who can retain their wits, prolonged observation will lead to a Starman spiriting away the observer, where they will subsequently become a Starman as well. >292011086The goal of the Starman is to reach past the limits of the observable universe. >292011245>292011265>Additional Remarks:Something or someone is past those limits and the Starman warns us about it. >292011331Additional research is required.
>>292026741thanks anon
>>292026741oh just dont see the giant starman
>>292022477How would do Akagi do at being an urabaitor?
>>292026983Akagi is really fucking sharp and only trusts his instinct. He loves the idea of a meaningless death so he'd like gray jobs.
>>292027122What's the most pointlessly flashy way to do a gray job? Like taunting the gray and then bluffing your way past it. Akagi would go for style points.
>>292024380I just saw this, it was actually really disappointing, none of the jobs had any clever twists or good horror and all the guy does is run away, there’s no smart moment where he outwits them or anything. Insane how much better Ura Baito is compared to this.
>>292027713oh it's just a reskinned doctor who adventure huh
>>292023076>>292022289Ah, so the entirety of the premise is bullshit. Thank you
>>292028499kek
next>>292030070>>292030070>>292030070
Let's finish this.
Ok, done.
>>292032017Danke.
>>292024600I'm off to the next thread as we speak.
>>292033204ANON NO DON'T DO IT
(You) had a good life.
