Yes, I admit I put off reading this one because of the art
Things I Like
- It’s pretty chill
- The narration is written in a pretty amusing manner
- The izakaya group are fun
Things That Could Be Improved
- I don’t understand how Life-man exists, it doesn’t seem like it’s actually a costume unless it’s one he has worn since childhood? I guess it’s not important though…
Verdict
I feel like Life-Man isn’t a very accurate translation? I suppose Everyday-Life-Man doesn’t roll off the tongue quite so well. It’s very accurate though. Enough to be kinda depressing even… I’ve been reading my tankobon’s of Uncle From Another World recently and Takafumi has an outburst about how real life sucks enough, he wants his light novels to be true happy fantasy. And I kinda get how he feels with manga like this and Giriko haha. Except that Giriko is actually proper funny (while being borderline depressing) and maybe slightly informative. I think Giriko is enough for me at this point.
