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: Stand AssistantPrevious thread:>>291963734>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 150: Stand Assistant
Done. I think there's a lot we could all learn from Daidai.See you tomorrow!
>>292030199Thanks OP
>>292030090A Daidai job, yay!
>>292030104She looks like a mom with that hair.
>>292030315Making Daidai a mother...
>>292030199Daidai and anons.Thx friend.
>>292030079
>>292030104>>292030135>>292030152Sweaty Daidai s...
>>292030104i understand that anon that thinkdaidai is hot now
>>292030199my hero is so strong...
>>292030085>>292030090So what is this guy, a gray full timer?
>>292030199She really can defeat anything
>>292030199me on the right
>>292030152Daidai I swear to fucking GOD
But Daidai doesn't resemble a 70/80's manga character?I was thinking Hajime Taki from Captain Tsubasa or Danpei and one of the children from Ashita no Joe?
>>292030191I'm assuming the masks were for the humie's benefit and by doing this Daidai has fucked the job up for every future gray workerOn the other hand, stable employment for Daidai, she's so smart
>>292030199>She just TnJ'd the Grays into being her friends
>Jav Actress (1)
>>292030191>>292030199Goddamn, I LOVE Daidai stories.
>>292030070LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>292030135I'll be cumin alright
>>292030070This cover looks... normal? That can't be right.
>>292034466normal = no kuroiwa jobs, surely
>>292030104cute hairbun Daidai
>>292034466Aside of Moonman chomping your sanity away, it's pretty chill. To be fair, this is also where Hama starts to really open up to Yume. I don't remember if the Yagi flashback is in this volume but it's also one of my favorite character moments in the entire manga desu
>>292030147Wow, it's that easy to trick grays? No wonder we've never seen any gambling-related jobs.
>>292030191Daidai is so kind and tolerant>>292030199And that's how Daidai defeats graycismThank you for posting
>>292030552There has to be at least ONE agency that only deals with Gray stuff in this
>>292030199The dumb shall inherit the Earth.
>>292033488OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTO!
Has this netflix live action series ever been brought up here? It looks like typical K-slop but couldn't help but notice the DISTINCT similarities to this one. >"part-time job">overpays compares to other gigs>jobs come from mysterious sources/agency>Different gigs that are all dangerous and supernatural which take advantage of the expendable part timerIt has "that Korean guy" that's in everything that comes out of that country, particularly Bong Jun Ho movies. You know the one, the guy with a really squarish face. He's "staring dude" from Memories of Murder. Looks like a minor role maybe. Anyways, without looking, I'm guessing it's sitting around a 6.0 - 7.0 on IMDB. Thoughts? Did they just rip this manga off? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2ZCxOxsN0
>>292033194Sadly solo Daidai jobs are quite short.I know it's a good thing because needlessly stretching it might makes it boring, but at the same time I also hunger for more Daidai screentime.
>>292037162Someone already bought it up in the previous thread, but there wasn't much discussion. I don't think they ripped off Ura Baito, since shady part time jobs is already a universal thing. The overpay part gets me guessing, but maybe because countries like Japan and Korea still believes in supernatural stuff, and real life high-paying part time jobs related to the supernatural actually exist there?
>>292037361It looks like lighter fare than Ura Baito with maybe a more straightforward focus in the jobs they get. It has a 7.2 which is alright so I might check it out and report back. I think the trailer I linked didn't do the similarities as much justice as one of the other ones I saw where it was really striking in some places. I also wanted to bring up some of my thought on comapring/contrasting this to Junjo Ito's works since there is also a lot of similarity (and some important differences) but I'm sure that's another topic that's been more than talked through. I'm just new to this series after finding these threads recently and find myself really liking it so I'm sort of playing catch up (although I'm already caught up and then some now). I do want to say my piece about the Ura Baito/Ito topic in a bit though but I don't want to suck up all the oxygen in the thread.
>>292037471I don't think anyone's talked about Junji Ito much in these threads actually, so if you want to do that go ahead. I will say I don't see any particular similarities between them beyond an odd art style and a horror comedy vibe, but I could be wrong.
>>292035628Yes. There is. You've seen it.
>>292030104Cute. CUTE.
>>292030135Do you think she looks like that in be -Ah, I shan't say.
>>292030199Daidai probably has a bunch of Gray contacts from this too... NETWORKING Daidai...
>>292034466You don't know what it is yet.
>>292038750I see, it seems I have yet to "arrive"
>>292038739>"networking"? daidai need no net to work!
if you think about it even in the good timeline there is a high chance daidai will die young
>>292040012technically the scientist daidai counts as daidai so I don't care.
>>292040029I don't think that's a good timeline job. BUt it might be. Because of how Yayoi-like it was.
>>292040012Why?
>>292040626because she dies from eating and choking on it lol
>>292040642In the good timeline mochis are softer so that won't happen.
WHY IS DAIDAI SLOWLY TRANSFORMING INTO A RODENT
>>292030414kek
>>292038904Still ''green'', i see. You may still be simply ''an amateur'' when it comes to Ura Baito arts.
>>292040912Side effect of her sunflower seeds diet.
>>292030104sexo
>>292030480Aren't girls cutest when they're almost retarded?
>>292030361
>>292042107Me in the back
>>292042107me in the right
>>292042107They are all "me," after all.
>>292037261Sometimes, I think these Daidai chapters are forced by the editor and not a pure idea of the author, because Daidai starts as a comic-relief but still immersed in the "gray job" (Returntomonke fields; Big Fish; Actor-guy) where she has a role in the story; while these solo-gray-jobs are a comic story where Daidai is "immune" to the cruel gray jobs; a sort of pause between a horror beyond misure job and revenge story solo.
>>292042107me crouching behind daidai
>>292043349considering buddy yume chan existence and thew author using daidai dissapearing heads i think thats just his type of humor.
Shame we never got Yagi solo arcI would like to have Constantine-type arc, where instead of just dodging gray by using Omniscience, Yagi would figure out how grey work, and using his resource to counter it
>>292043349No, the author knows what he's doing. You will understand why soon.
Live action non korean Ura baito adaptation when
>>292043349I don't think so. She has gray-like eyes. Plus her name means death both in english and moonrunese.

>>292045895>Vavebobawtf is even that
>>292045890It means orange, doesn't it?
>>292043349Why would that be forced by the editor? Maybe the author just wanted to do a short Daidai episode once in a while. He clearly likes comedy.
>>292044110I mean there was that short story with the paralyzed legs, but yeah.
>>292046489Yagi is too nasty a fellow to be a protagonist. The tone isn't suited for Ura Baito.
A Yagi Gray Job but it just ends up being the Yakuzas (he took a loan of an entire nation's GDP to bet on Mahjong)
>>292046513Was there a Yayoi chapter, Gray v Gray showdown?
>>292048275Yeah, at the end of the series.
>>292046435I have this strange feeling, thinking about Sachiko Uguisu manga that was story-timed days ago and how "Ghost" was a one-story character that the editor suggested to make her relevant for the rest of the story.A vibe, only that...>>292044110Yagi isekaied in the Uma Musume Pretty Derby world...
>>292030199Look at how happy they are brosI bet they don't even attack humans in general they just want to chill unbothered

>>292051023Sweep it up, greyie!
>>292051392Thanks OP
>>292051221Happy girls.
>>292051136I've heard of that drug, it's called Strychnine
>>292050011>>292043349>>292038739>>292050022>>292035738>>292034721>>292030361>>292030519>>292031897>>292030621The author is working on more Daidai stories. He's doing a Daidai countdown on his twitter.https://twitterviewer.net/fk0lpovnxqbapsv
>>292051392i dont get it
>>292052503The female pharmacist pretended to be KO'd by the ghost, so she could inject her sister into them to give her sister a new body.
>>292052503The dad used an experimental drug on his daughter, turning her into an entity. He then came up with a new drug that erased everyone's memories of her. His other daughter discovered this and tried to kill him. Despite everything, he remembers the daughter he turned into a monster and copes by pretending the supernatural isn't real.
>>292052503>>292052919>>292052967Are you guys speedreaders? It literally spells everything out.The dad made a drug that accidentally turns people into ghosts. He tried to give it to his adopted daughter, but she forced it to his biological daughter. This turned her into a ghost that releases dust made of her existence. By having other people consume it, it dilutes her existence to the point the memory of her is erased. The adopted daughter wants the dad to suffer, so she makes part-timers sleep in the ghost daughter's presence so she can possess them and reverse the process a little bit.
>>292051466Tbf he's also an asshole. Could've at least experimented on a gray part timer or volunteer instead of his adopted daughter.
>>292052442He's doing a daidai countdown but I wouldn't say we know what that means yet.
>>292053132I see, couldnt quite tell whos who with their back faced towards us, plus its hard to make out whos speaking the dialogue, I got most of that, but is the adopted daughter still around with her father in the end? I'm guessing our main girls ran off and left those two to continue the cycle
At this point I'm pretty sure Yume could literally face the camera and explain the story and I'd still see half of you going "idgi"
>>292053132can you draw
>>292053735I think it's just bait honestly. Not that I think we should stop answering questions, just hoping that most people here aren't actually reading with their eyes closed.
>>292053735What's a camera? Who's Yume?
>>292051009>Yume, we need to cook.
>>292051382>>292051392Imagine the hatesex.
>>292053735She wouldn't be able to do that. It would start to stink mid-explanation because of the shhmen.
>>292053945Haha yeah, i-it's bait...
>>292051034Then why hire gray workers in the first place? If ghosts aren't real, then you can sweep the damn closet yourself, you fucking dipshit.
>>292051101Cocainum?
>>292051188This is something you should warn people about on their first day, not the week after.
>>292051199
>>292051330I really love this first panel, you can actually feel her frustration and anguish.>>292051301>>292051312>>292051320But damn, dude. This is the sort of stuff you hire gray workers for, not testing it on your own daughter, adopted or otherwise. First you failed to make the drug, then you're heartless enough to test it on one of your daughter instead of literally any of the random people out there, and then you got outplayed by said daughter. You're a goddamn triple retard.
>>292052503You say this every job.
>>292056788>Didn't hire gray workers to test his drug that might turn people into ghosts>Hired them to clean out the haunted closet instead after he turned he daughter into a ghost
>>292056863A QUADRUPLE RETARD
>>292056933That's me
>>292058067At least you're not a heartless retard
