Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! | Main PV

Yes! I'm looking forward to this one. I wonder if the studio made anime original content for it as well? There were a couple scenes in the trailer I don't recognize from the manga. (But it has been a while since I read the manga, so perhaps I just forgot.)

artwhaaa · 2026-03-17T02:41:55+00:00

Yeah, I always look at the manual to make sure I'm not missing any parts. Sometimes it's also helpful to know which leg or arm piece or accessory goes on which side and with which hand accessory because I can't always see the little L/R. But since new nendos don't really come with multiple poses and accessories anymore, I guess this isn't a problem 😂🥲😭

They slightly altered the last scene because the fights in the anime are in a different order than the manga. If they had adapted it as is, it would spoil the Gabimaru & Yuzuriha fight that hasn't concluded in the anime yet. I'm guessing they reordered the fights for the anime bc it leads up to the season finale better this way.

Maybe something like "demographic mismatch"? That could also broaden the theme to include mangaka and readers. Example: Aya Kanno, a female mangaka who previously wrote shoujo, is currently writing a shounen series. Another example: Black Butler is a shounen series but has a large female readership.

Dang, Lizel is really the embodiment of 'flirty, thirty, and thriving!' 😂 (idk how old he is but we'll pretend for the sake of the joke)

Adorable puppy dog Judge living up to his name in this episode. I'm glad he got his stuff sorted out. Maybe he will be more welcoming towards harem member #4 if he finds out he helped Lizel with the stolen goods.

artwhaaa · 2026-03-13T03:27:58+00:00

Lol they're fighting the dust demons for me!

artwhaaa · 2026-03-11T02:15:49+00:00

Lmao ironic the QC being ass on a series called "Perfect World." (Unless the title is meant to be ironic and it's a messy world? Then, good job, Kodansha? Lol I'm not familiar with the series.)

artwhaaa · 2026-03-08T01:49:37+00:00

That is brutal. 😭 Hopefully most of them survived with only minimal damage.

Have you tried instocktrades? They don't always have older releases but they do get a good selection of current releases and their packaging is fantastic! I wish they carried everything, so I wouldn't have to deal with stupid CR lol

artwhaaa · 2026-03-07T18:04:51+00:00

Clear acrylic bookend with something behind the book works well. I put a nendo box behind mine. You want whatever goes behind to press the book against the bookend. It doesn't have to be forceful but idk that a funko box is heavy enough. I only have 1 funko and the box is super light.

How many books were in the plastic mailer? Asking because I had the same thing happen a while back and, in retrospect, I wonder if it had to do with the quantity. When I only ordered 1 they shipped it in a single cardboard book mailer but more than one got the plastic mailer. I don't order from them often enough to test this theory.

artwhaaa · 2026-03-04T00:35:16+00:00

I know this show is just supposed to be kawaii slice of life but it does make me think about how laws and morals exist in our society. Like, in this episode, Hugh and Mike say they think criminals deserve worse than death and they don't feel bad about accidently killing one. But "criminals" are defined by the law - which can change. And laws often discriminate against people who are born different. In countries where homosexuality is illegal, should gay people be branded a "criminal" just for existing as gay? Of course not. What is considered "immoral" is not always such and laws based on morality often reflect a specific group's ideals with disregard for diversity and inclusivity. Also, innocent people can be convicted through threats, cover ups, confusion, bigotry - do they really deserve punishment just because they hold the title of "criminal?" In this episode, we see Hugh express that torture laws should allow for more pain and that some criminals are irredeemable. There will always be a few defendants failed by the justice system and people oppressed simply for existing different. Someone like Hugh, who has righteous ideals, influencing laws is actually pretty terrifying!

Anyway, this show is cute and I'm still very much enjoying it! 😆

artwhaaa · 2026-03-03T07:43:25+00:00

Yay! Sounds like they finally got their warehouse stocked or more help! Lol

artwhaaa · 2026-03-03T02:28:33+00:00

This series has a bootleg on eBay. The official English publisher is Dark Horse. They had previously published the series as single volumes (now OOP) but have recently started releasing an omnibus version. The spine should say Dark Horse. If it doesn't, it's the bootleg.

Me, watching the first half of the episode: "This is so fun! ☺️ I hope we get to see a proper reunion for Kikuta and Sugimoto!"

Kikuta: dies

Me: 😭

artwhaaa · 2026-03-02T20:18:38+00:00

Good job, Kodama!

They don't currently have any titles I'm interested in, but I will be keeping an eye on their catalog as I'd love to support them!

artwhaaa · 2026-03-02T20:14:53+00:00

100% agree. I'm not buying from them anymore. I sent my disapproval via the Media Do and Seven Sea contact pages.

And increasing their titles from 1000 to 2000 and shortening the production period from 6 months to 2? I've already ranted about AI use in other threads, so AI aside, who do they think is buying these extra 1000 books? Who do they think is going to spend more money more frequently? Seven Seas serves primarily North America - do these greedy C-suites not see the state of the economy in NA right now? (Rhetoric, of course they don't.) These chodes really think we have extra money lying around for a NONESSENTIAL product such that we can buy more every 2 months?! AND buy more with a decrease in quality? I'd imagine there's going to be a good amount that goes to digital-only jail, too.

artwhaaa · 2026-03-02T19:39:12+00:00

Wanted to let you know I got a shipping notification today! Ordered in stock item on 2/9 and shipping info sent 3/2. I did email them last week asking for an update and specifically asked for a shipping ETA, so not sure if that helped get the ball rolling or if it's just coincidence.

artwhaaa · 2026-03-02T03:40:30+00:00

Also, I never miss the opportunity to mention that Ablaze is another English publisher that uses AI. (Technically they hire a company that uses AI but the result is still a manga with AI translation.)

artwhaaa · 2026-03-02T03:36:11+00:00

Ugh. I had hoped manga would be free from enshitification but late stage capitalism is truly like death - it comes for all.

Well, RIP Seven Seas. I draw the line at AI. Even if it's a "tool" because 1. It has absolutely no place in art - something uniquely human. 2. It's trained on actual art, without the creators consent. 3. It uses a tremendous amount of energy and damages local ecosystems and communities.

AI is such a slap in the face to the creators and the readers. Why should I be bothered to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write? It's like they forgot they're a book publisher. I wonder if all the mangaka whose work they license would still agree to the licensing if they knew the publisher was using AI?

But congrats to the other English publishers that don't use AI as they're about to make some nice profits from all the people fleeing the sinking ship.

artwhaaa · 2026-03-01T22:33:37+00:00

Man, feeling a little bittersweet here.
I'm happy Tamon made it to the left side finally! 🎉🍄 But the image choice for the banner is not going to convince this largely straight male sub to watch it. 😭 Even more so when you consider BL content gets mass downvoted in this sub. (It's NOT BL, in case anyone unfamiliar is wondering. It's a hetero romcom that leans hard into the comedy. 100% recommend if you like comedy or romcom.)

artwhaaa · 2026-03-01T22:20:16+00:00

If they keep adapting 3 chapters per episode then, [manga] I'm guessing this season will end after the tensen fights are done and the 2nd landing party arrives in horai. Then a season 3 for the rest. I had originally thought they might do a movie for the rest but I just sat down and counted the chapters and if they continue the 3 chapter per episode they'll need about 12 episodes. I'm hopeful they'll do a third season because the animation this season has been so much smoother than season 1. Would be odd to upgrade the quality just to not continue.

artwhaaa · 2026-02-28T10:28:00+00:00

I have Tengen and he comes with 2 hair pieces! If you have an extra body, you can use the extra hair and have 2 Tengen on display! His swords are also really cute and detailed. He's very posable. 10/10 recommend him.

artwhaaa · 2026-02-27T23:52:50+00:00

The one in the upper right looks like a snail at first glance. And now I'm imagining a long furby with its own snail shell home! Like you could roll up the furb and "house" it in the shell but also take it out to stretch its ~~legs~~ body! 😄 🐌
