Mr. Tonegawa Middle Management Blues hits too close to home when you’ve worked for or are working for corporate.

But that made this anime all the more hilarious because it feel so human. It made me want to cry at moments because you get blindsided by the unexpected kindness in a capitalist-dominant environment.

quick question why did I see a smartphone and the people are talking about twitter in Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa when its supposed to take place even before Tonegawa met Kaiji and Kaiji's plot happens in the 90s

WELCOME...! Today I will introduce you to the Kaiji spinoff Jokyou Seikatsuroku Ichijou, in Morning magazine.

Jokyou Seikatsuroku Ichijou: "chapter 0" review

This is rare. It's only in this Morning issue, not reprinted in a tankobon. I purchased the physical edition. So I hope you don't mind if I post these. Please forgive me. (For chapter reviews of true chapters, I won't post any actual chapter pages, only panels and description.) Pictures and edited DeepL translations are below this cut.

This is the cover. When this manga was announced online, it was a mosaic-blurred version of this illustration. His clothes are revealed- he is relaxing at home, enjoying a mikan under the kotatsu. A Japanese custom for the New Year.

Contents page. A pose similar to his appearance in the Kaiji season 2 OP.

A front cover 4 colour page introduction. How luxurious! Even Tonegawa is jealous, he only had a 1-page intro. This page is a meta comic (it is a page from the Entertainment chapter of Tonegawa spinoff, edited with different dialogue).

ICHI: "I'm here to say hello! I'll be playing the main role in 'Jokyo Seikatsuroku Ichijou'. My name is Ichijou Seiya....!" TONE: "Hmm...." ICHI: "As I'm sure you know, Tonegawa-sensei... To be clear... This work is a spin-off...! I wish to follow the example of Tonegawa-sensei, who worked on 'Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa'. I hope to take a leap forward with this work. But... It will be serialised in 'Morning'. As we don't want to confuse the new readers... It is necessary to introduce myself, tenfold, twentyfold....!! I am a newcomer, but I have 4 colour pages, and a front cover. It's not a problem, is it? Hehehe... TONE: (Guh... When my spin-off was new, I only got 1 page... In Monthly Young Magazine...)

Now to the next page.

The official Ichijou introduction is hilarious tbh. Summarised:

POINT 1: Maintainer and developer of The Bog POINT 2: HE'S HOT POINT 3: HE'S MOÉ

Point 1 page and profile:

A page about his most addictive gambling machine.

The serialization of "Jokyo Seikatsuroku Ichijou" has started! Some of you may ask, "Who is this Ichijou in the first place?" Well, he is a very popular character who fought a ferocious battle with Kaiji in Young Magazine. We will give you an in-depth look at Ichijou Seiya!

DATA Workplace: Illegal casino directly maintaned by consumer finance company Teiai Group Position: Casino manager Routine: Adjusting the nails of "The Bog" Disliked People: Kaiji, Chairman Hyoudou, local classmates Favourite Phrases: "Tenfold, twentyfold", "Foolish dream", "This is reality"

The other paragraphs mainly describe the Bog itself and its specs.

The next page is a precious treasure...

Ichijou Point 2: Almost the only handsome guy in the "Kaiji" series!! It's a far cry from Kaiji's beer-guzzling and the Chairman's lapping of fine wine from a basin! Ichijou's unparalleled elegance! In the world of "Kaiji", where basically only old men with bad faces appear, Ichijou is an exceptionally handsome character. The fact that the man Kaiji was fighting before was the middle-aged, thread-eyed, dumpling-nosed, round-cropped Foreman Ootsuki, should give you an idea of the uniqueness of the situation. From tending to his nails and eyebrows in the manager's office to enjoying a glass of wine or coffee with his blacksuits, his every move is elegant. However, handsome guys are always frowned upon, and not only by his nemesis Kaiji, but even by his very own boss Chairman Hyoudou, who calls him 'snooty'." “I always…” “Hated his face…！” “Just looking at him makes me sick……….！” Handsome looks were a liability for Ichijou, unknowingly raising Chairman Hyoudou's ire. How unlucky!

Ichijou Point 3: Brilliant, cunning, worrying, and... pitiable! He is such a snooty handsome man, but as a result of his disadvantaged circumstances and the hard days he endured at Teiai, he has developed a distorted personality that makes him seem not popular at all- this is Ichijou's surprisingly endearing charm. The great man at Teiai praises Kaiji, so the primary school boy-like Ichijou gets involved with him in a fierce rivalry, and the pachinko balls' whereabouts gives him joy and sorrow with unusual amplitude... We invite you to witness Ichijou who is full of varied charms, in "Tobaku Hakairoku Kaiji".

Yes, I like these phrases: 「多彩な魅力たっぷりの一条」「一条の何とも愛おしい魅力だ。」「小学生男子な一条」 is sort of weird though, like shotacon bait ww.

不憫 (I translated as 'pitiable') has an affectionate connotation, you can read about this word.

Ichijou's official introduction spends 1 whole page talking about how hot and cute he is. It's no surprise- Ichijou was officially described as the 2nd Most Moé Fukumoto Character in Kaiji season 2's original broadcast. Next is a page of his memorable quotes.

Introducing a number of quotes filled with the charm of Ichijou, the villain who wavers your heart...!

Indeed. He wavers your heart, because many viewers and readers of the Bog arc say that they didn't know who they should cheer for. Two young men full of dreams. (Indeed- one of the anime staff said in a staff comment that Ichijou is like the second protagonist of his arc while also being the villain- I'll try to find it and post it).

The TOKORO GA DOKKOI scene is described:

※『賭博破戒録カイジ』12巻216Pより) 土壇場でカイジの猛攻をしのぎ切ったときに思わず飛び出た一言。テンパリすぎて言葉遣いが変になっているところ�� カジノ店長にあるまじき本音で周囲の客をドン引きさせているところが愛おしい。 (* From "Tobaku Haikairoku Kaiji" volume 12, page 216) When he survives Kaiji's fierce onslaught at the last minute, this phrase pops out unexpectedly. The fact that he is so tense that his wording goes all funny, and that he is making the customers around him feel uncomfortable with his true feelings, which is unbecoming of a casino manager, is adorable.

That's right, 愛おしい. Adorable, precious, endearing etc. Tokoro ga dokkoi = tokoro ga itoshii. I thought I was just toxoplasmosis-infected for finding this scene very cute, but it turns out I'm perfectly normal.

''テンパリ'', odd turn of phrase, and [dangerously close to the circle-name of a certain artist known for his Ichijou doujins] it is a slang term for tempermental, and derived from mahjong 'tenpai'.

You can tell that this introduction was written by a based Ichijou enjoyer because I agree with everything stated. The writer understands the appeal perfectly and articulates it perfectly. Did Hagiten write it?
