This is a full-color image of Sarutobi Ecchan that appears in the beginning of my edition of the first volume of her manga, That Weird Weird Weird Girl (おかしなおかしなおかしなあの子).
Later Edit: Well, when editing these images from That Weird Weird Weird Girl (おかしなおかしなおかしなあの子) from within the Sarutobi Ecchan (さるとびエッちゃん) series, I realized that while I thought I had been reading through and posting from the first volume of this series, it is actually the third and final volume. Oops!

i'm helping out at a creative writing workshop for uhhh i think 10-12s? 10-14s? idk. but that age range. and anyways
a) i forgot how fun this is
b) it's really hard not to like, re-write for them and stick to just "hey add descriptions here, change this grammar, really cool ideas!" bc i'm an adult and not trying to talk over/railroad these kids, but i'm just so excited for their ideas!!!
c) little boys write cool stuff like "what if we went to mars but it sucked so we left, but left behind all our technology and the technology rose up and created its own society and then went to war with us for abandoning them? what if transformers had 100x the war crimes? what if the earth blew up. what if we were the robots all along?"
d) little girls out here writing like "aunt melanie's skin was sloughing off the bones as her beloved dogs tore her apart, turning on her in blind animal instinct. the second she stopped providing food, she became food." and a lot of body horror and dark themes about group pacts and betrayals and ritualistic murder/sacrifices. like a lot

The manga I brought with me on this trip is the first volume of That Weird Weird Weird Girl (おかしなおかしなおかしなあの子) by Shotaro Ishinomori (石ノ森 章太郎). This majokko’s stories eventually transitioned to being named for her — Sarutobi Ecchan (さるとびエッちゃん).
This first chapter was published in Margaret (マーガレット) magazine in 1964.
Later Edit: Well, when editing these images from That Weird Weird Weird Girl (おかしなおかしなおかしなあの子) from within the Sarutobi Ecchan (さるとびエッちゃん) series, I realized that while I thought I had been reading through and posting from the first volume of this series, it is actually the third and final volume.

dead boy detectives was very fun but they sure are not sixteen. on no planet are any of them sixteen. the show was so completely uninterested in them being sixteen too. yeah these two girls are sixteen, yeah they live alone, and rent their own apartments, and never go to school why would they? funniest thing by far.
