Some notes this week:

Details

The publisher the team go to is 集英社, or Shuueisha, which owns Jump Comics (which Look Back - and Fujimoto’s other works, Chainsawman and Fire Punch - is published in).

The magazine competition they win is Jump as well. You don’t need to read the whole page, but we can help if you want to tackle it.

One of the backgrounds Kyomoto is inspired by on p66 (the one on the left specifically) is from vol 5 of Fire Punch. I believe the lower one of the street with the signs is also from Chainsawman - chapter 54 specifically (vol 5) I think)

Runner-up. They get runner-up. :slightly_smiling_face: Or, semi-finalist, perhaps. (Is that Luffy on the front cover, though?)

fun stuff this week!

Some words I liked:
事自体 - itself, the thing itself
最低 - at the least
コンビ - duo, combo
でねでね - and, and!
じゃんじゃん - one after another
ぐるぐる - round and round

But especially, on page 60, Crepe Forest クレープの森 lol

OOF

Just got caught up for this week! Excited to be reading along with everyone through the end now.

Fujino lashing out at Kyomoto leaving her hits just as hard again as it did when I watched the movie.

Wow this week was intense, so much going on

I really feel like the book is finally taking off this week. Then entering and winning the competition, getting serialized etc. is awesome. The last scene for this reading was just so intense too. Fujino getting so angry and defensive is hard to watch, rooting for kyomoto!

Can anyone help me with the missing kanji (I literally can’t read/decipher them)

From P.56

I’m guessing 驚異, but honestly it’s mostly a mess of pixels.

From the paper version it’s still really hard to tell but I’m 98% sure that’s what it is

Thanks @Belthazar & @Malinkal. It does appear to be 驚異

I know, right! I got so happy when they collaborated but it was so short lived :sob:

WAIT
THERE IS A MOVIE?
OMG, as soon I finish this club I’m gonna watch it, thank you so much!

YES its really really good, I actually watched it first because it intimidates me less to read something I already know

How’s it going so far? Similar to the manga? :eyes:

Late!

Watched it a while ago but as far as my memory can tell it’s literally almost a word for word/shot for shot recreation. As I’m reading I’ve been shocked by how accurate the movie is

Ohhhhh, so it might be a great idea to watch with no subtitles as practice as soon as I finish this club, thanks for the help!
