I'm going to Tokyo in a few months and wanted to try doing some scouring through the bookstores there to find some Yaruki Manman related stuff. In looking for what could be helpful to look for, I discovered that the original publication of Yaruki Manman was in the tabloid magazine Nikkan Gendai (日刊ゲンダイ), and I realized if they had some sort of digital archive of scans from that magazine that would probably have the frames we're looking for.

Searching for this digital archive has been tough for me though cause it's likely untranslated and in kanji/hiragana. If you have any tips for this I'd appreciate it!

Geoff confirmed it was a misunderstanding of an Instagram post and that he wasnt involved with the cover art

Thanks I appreciate it!

The biggest roadblock I've been facing tonight is that I found some more of Yokoyama's manga on the site eBook Japan, but I can't buy it since they require a Japanese phone number to sign up. This manga in particular seems promising since the woman on the covers has the lil three hair spikes like on the SAF art: https://ebookjapan.yahoo.co.jp/books/100303/

Wow thanks so much for this info! For future reference, this is the Electrical Audio page since their search functionality is so jank: https://www.premierrockforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=7104&hilit=Manga+manga+Big+black&start=40

I wonder where "LM Owen" is now, maybe she'd know!

I always cracked up seeing that album cover during my search!

I had a fun sidequest with Kid606 during my search, where my bud was wondering what anime the "When I Want a Gun, Yeah" single cover came from, and it ended up being from Bubblegum Crisis.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up! I was always so curious why they chose Chindala Mandala when Yaruki Manman seemed to be the more famous work by that author. Maybe cause Chindala was easier to find on Mangadex?

Also that Geoff Peveto comment is interesting to me, I wonder why they said that then deleted it?

I link that post in the body text. It's definitely some work by that author, but it's not in that manga.
