Ah ok, I have don't really have a grasp on what the average height is in japan, or america for that matter I was never normal size so everyone just seemed kinda small. i just assumed everyone was around average height unless it was extreme .

Peephole 34 - Well, okay.

Little sister will either A) End up being more fucked up than her brother or B) This is actually harmless.

I'd say that if you grew up in an Asian country anime and manga are pretty much childhood staples, whereas for the west it's more about comics. I think western cartoons are pretty popular in Asia though. It was where I grew up.

Soma 81 spoilers

Nikumi is angry, Soma thinking of being a lawyer if he loses (lol)

Everyone thinks Soma will lose, which basically means he will win

A kouhai reporting about shokugeki news is following Soma around. Look zweizer its you!

I guess at this point it's better to ask who isn't asian here.

But still, pretty surprising to learn that even for scanlations the majority of readers remain asian. I'd have thought it would have a broader demographics range.

After this sequence gets done in like 50 chapters from now, I'm just going to drop it. We'll never get back to vampire girl at this rate.

How do you guys even find mattresses big enough to sleep on? I'm only 5'9 and sometimes my feet hang past my mattress
Click to expand...

Standard US size mattresses range from 75" (Twin, Full) to 80" (Queen, King).

~6'2" and it's not really an issue and I only have a full-size bed.

Found some more Jiro Taniguchi stuff, never realized that he has got a lot more works published than I thought would be. This one is a short short collection mostly dealing with humans relations with nature, animals, and death. Pretty diverse settings in the stories, even a couple being set here in Canada out of all the places.

Shokugeki no Soma 81 Raw

Seems like there's some kind of side arc? There's a Nikumi blush face, also.

Stretch by Akili. A josei slice of life educational with tones of shoujo ai manga about the relationship of two roomates.

Also, that picture panda posted is from Yotsuba&!, not Stretch.

ah alright.

Well now I gotta see what stretch is to see what caused the reaction

Creepy guy just hanging out outside of the apartment.

I wonder if her friend could see suicide guy, or if she just felt him.

Jiro Taniguchi is one author I avoid. I haven't read anything from him, so I avoid him out of pure ignorance and perception, because I get the feeling his works emanate an aura of boring from reading the synopsis that kills any intention I might have to even pick up one of his books.
Tell me how wrong I am and why.

You are wrong, So very wrong.

I will left the why to others :p.

But seriously, read Harukana Machi-e and My father's journal.

Haruka na Machi e is a very good manga, probably his best work. The synopsis even has time travel in it, no way it can be boring with that.

The Walking Man is also good, mostly no dialogues lots of walking and appreciating of scenery and whatnot. It could be boring, but it's a relatively quick read and can give you a good idea of his art and style of storytelling.

Well, I am in shock.

I'm not, at least insofar as the series desperately needing something to renew interest. After the whole thing seemed to wrap and it felt like they were just stalling, I came very close to dropping it. Kind of glad I didn't now.

You still have to account for the pillow though. Which means being 6' with a size 75'' mattress you can rather easily have your feet hang past it.
Click to expand...

How exactly is this pillow (/your head) placed that it's eating 5" of space up? I'm around 6'2" and have no issues on a regular full size.

Besides that, this was about 5'9" so it's under the numbers here still anyway.

Which is why people expressed the need of a King-sized bed in order to sleep comfortably, unless you're going diagonal with a double.
