I have no idea what Skip Beat is but it's nice to know that Cat Street is better.

It's been a while since I've read a manga but Haku burned through all of my recommendations so I have to pull myself away from Monster Hunter to read some more!


A Distant Neighborhood
Hiroshi, a middle-aged businessman, accidentally boards the wrong train and is sent to his old hometown. While he's there, he decides to pay a visit to his mother's grave and is somehow transported back in time to his childhood. With his memories still intact, he attempts to change his past and get to the bottom of his father's mysterious disappearance.

This manga is pretty short (that's why I read it) but it's still a nice story. It was also adapted into a live-action movie but surprisingly it's in French, not Japanese.

If I read it some time ago, I probably woulda thought it was really good and emotional, but reading it now, I got kinda bored.

is she about to trip or something?

Hakudamashi

Well she can't trip over anything ever again.

Cause she's dead.

The worst thing about making a joke on the internet is that you can't always tell if other people got it.

Hakudamashi

I got it.
But it's like
It wasn't a sword
And it wasn't her's.

I never said it was the best joke.

But now I will. It was the best joke.

He wasn't unhappy with them at all though.
