has anyone read this manga? it's by usamaru furya, and it's freakin hilarious. the first two volumes are scanlated. well, in fact, i think there are only 2 volumes. this manga awesomely depicts the ko-gal culture in japan, and the artwork is so… smooth. they're mostly one-page stories, but super hilarious. here are some of them, to give you some initiative into reading this manga:

Wow. That sort of feels like the Perry Bible Fellowship of manga, lol.
-
I love it. Nice find, e1n!
-
not me. my girlfriend. she loves reading weird-ass manga, hardcore yaoi, guro, etc etc etc, and recommending them to me. this is one of the very very few that passed my strict filter. ~_~
-
Haha. Well, it passed my filte- Wait, I have no filter, never mind.
-
Seriously though. This reminds me exactly of PBF humor:
-

If you like these you should see Palepoli. Furuya at his sharpest.
-
XD The stalker one is definately the best.
(That girl in the first one is a sick bastard…)
-
LMAO! Im definitely gonna check it out!

The humour is a lot weirder than those screenshots make suspect. Old men posing as Teddy Bears to sleep with school girls? Is there a problem of old men hitting on school girls that they are making a parody on? And is there really such a thing as a "ko gal" (=tokyo girls=school girls?) culture? Anyone who knows about japanese culture can elaborate on this a little bit?
-
in japan, a lot of school girls go out with old men (oyajii) on paid dates to make money. it's almost something common, as far as i know. if you watch initial D, natsumi mogi also does this, and that's why takumi got pissed off at her.
