The He-Man Effect: How American Toymakers Sold You Your Childhood GN - Box Brown
Brian "Box" Brown brings history and culture to life through his comics. In his next graphic novel, he unravels how marketing that targeted children in the 1980s has shaped adults in the present. Powered by the advent of television and super-charged by the deregulation era of the 1980s, media companies and toy manufacturers joined forces to dominate the psyches of American children. But what are the consequences when a developing brain is saturated with the same kind of marketing bombardment found in Red Scare propaganda?

In a fun, high stakes adventure weaved together with downloadable face-melting beats, Ninja Funk follows a ragtag band of misfits as they attempt to save a universe that's off-key.
Occulted GN - Amy Rose, Ryan Estrada & Jeongmin Lee
When the Hale-Bopp soared across the sky in 1997, Amy Rose thought it was the start of an amazing new future. Instead, it brought news of a horrible tragedy at the Heaven's Gate compound just down the road. Amy had always known there was something off about the community she grew up in. She had been forbidden from going to school, or visiting the library because the leader told her that there was no use learning about a world that was about to end. But it was not until the news of the deaths at Heaven's Gate invaded the temple walls that she heard a new word that explained everything: cult. She must risk everything to indulge in secret trips to an abandoned, off-limits library that teaches her everything she was not meant to know. That Gandhi was not a space alien. That Star Trek wasn't real. That her community was built on a lie. And most importantly, the banned books give her all the information that she needs to escape.
Pea, Bee & Jay: The Big Bully GN - Brian "Smitty" Smith
The three besties are searching for treasure when a great big pumpkin storms over and bullies Jay into giving up his very shiny pebble-not cool, Pumpkin. But when they band together to prove that being big doesn't mean you get to push others around, the trio discovers that Pumpkin's got some extra-large issues of her own.

Sort Of Super Vol 1 TP - Eric Gapstur
Wyatt and his sister Adeline are determined to investigate an extinct volcano hundreds of miles from home that Adeline believes to be related to their mother's mysterious disappearance. At first it seems like an impossible mission until they realize there's a summer camp conveniently situated near the base of the volcano. So it's off to summer camp for Wyatt, Adeline, and their buddies Beto and Nara. But when they get there, they find it impossible to sneak away from the heavily chaperoned grounds.

QUESTIONS
I'm starting Acid Town but i need to know three things first, otherwise i'm abandoning it. And i don't want to because it seems to be good.
1. Is the manga still ongoing or is it finished?
2. Did Yuki end up with someone so far? If so, who? (yes, that's an spoiler but i need to know so i don't invest my heart into a ship that won't happen lol. Don't tell me how, just no or yes and who) EDIT: toxic relationships? Even if it's only about sex
3. Warnings i should be aware of? Does Yuki or other main chatacter start taking drugs at some point? As in addiction, not meds. Cutting? Attempts of suicide? Anorexia or bullimia?
The first and last questions are the most important.
Thank you!

Comedy is a Crime in Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues
As both the summer and another anime season come to a close, here at “Cruising the Crunchy-Catalog”, our minds turn from thoughts of play to thoughts of work. Of course, our work here is also watching anime, and we'd like to close out the “Summer 2018 Revival”—a look back at some of the titles that made last year's Summer anime season special—with a series that's brimming with professionalism.
That's why this week, we're focusing our laser-like gaze on a series about doing your best even in the strangest of situations, regardless of little things like ethics, morals, or laws. Hurray, capitalism! Hurray, crimes! We're talking about Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues.
What's Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues?
Based on the manga written by Tensei Hagiwara and illustrated by Tomohiro Hashimoto and Tomoki Miyoshi, Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues is a Summer 2018 TV anime with direction by Keiichiro Kawaguchi and animation production by MADHOUSE. Crunchyroll describes the series as follows:
An executive at the Teiai Group, Tonegawa Yukio, is ordered by the company president Hyodo Kazutaka to plan out death games for debtors. Awaiting Tonegawa at these planning meetings are ordeals, agony, and despair! The demonic spinoff about the anguish inflicted on Tonegawa by the president and the company suits is now getting an anime adaptation!
Serving as both a prequel and a spin-off to Kaiji, the gambling manga and TV anime created by Nobuyuki Fukumoto, Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues plays fast and loose with the genre, swapping in situational office comedy in place of psychological suspense.
The Elephant (Debtor) in the Room
With such a drastic change in format, the million dollar question becomes: do I need to watch all of Kaiji in order to get the jokes in Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues? The answer, dear readers, is no. Much like its titular anti-hero, Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues stands on its own two feet in terms of bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan with regards to humor.
If you are nominally familiar with Kaiji, Akagi, and the rest of Nobuyuki Fukumoto's gambling manga ouvre, the jokes in Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues take on a deeper, more satisfying texture, but it's not a requirement to enjoy the show. In fact, even though voice actor Masato Hagiwara reprises his role as Kaiji Ito for this series, he doesn't have any significant lines. This is a Tonegawa vehicle, through and through.
Another Normal Day at the Office
The central conceit in Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues is about the banality of evil, i.e. the idea that being a cartoon super-villain can be just as monotonous, bureaucratic, and soul-crushingly dull as any typical white collar job. For Kaiji and his fellow debtors, events such as Restricted Rock Paper Scissors and the Steel Beam Crossing of Despair are a harrowing, once-in-a-life time horror, but to the men in black of the Teiai Group, they're just another Tuesday.
Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues spins comedy gold out of Tonegawa's attempts to motivate his team of faceless goons and to appease the increasingly insane demands of his tyrannical boss, Hyoudou Kazutaka. That the heinous misdeeds of a criminal syndicate are so funny and relatable is a testament to the talents of the show's creators.
Hidden Humor
Although it generally lets the audience in on the joke, Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues also has gags that are hidden in plain sight. For example, Jay Kabira does an outstanding job providing a counterpoint to the famously dramatic style of narration in Kaiji, with the joke being that his overwrought delivery is invariably referring to something extraordinarily ordinary, such as a Power Point presentation, a Twitter post, or a mid-day meal.
One of the cleverest hidden gags involves involves the “Zawa Voices”. In Fukumoto's work, the sound effect “Zawa Zawa!” represents the sound of a human psyche straining under intense emotional pressure, a sort of anxiety made verbal. Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues employs nearly a dozen voice actors as “Zawa Voices” to recreate this iconic sound effect, including Kana Hanazawa, Shiori Izawa, Ari Ozawa, and Masako Nozawa.
That's a pretty deep cut there, folks.
Hang in There, Tonegawa
Crunchyroll currently streams Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues in some 205 territories worldwide, and the series is available in the original Japanese language with subtitles in English, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Italian, German, and Russian. If you want more Tonegawa in your life, a Bluray release is coming from Sentai Filmworks on October 15, 2019, and the home video version also includes an English dub.
Both deadpan and grotesquely exaggerated, Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues is sure to appeal to any anime fan that's ever had to put their nose to the 9-to-5 corporate grindstone. If you're in the mood for an office comedy about bad people trying their very best, and if the series is available in your area, then please consider giving Mr. TONEGAWA Middle Management Blues.
Thank you for joining us for this final installment of the Summer 2018 Revival. Be sure to tune in next time when we kick off a look back at the autumn anime season of one year ago with the first episode of the Fall 2018 Review, in which we'll get into the Halloween spirit with a story of spooky, scary skeletons... working at a busy Japanese bookstore?
Is there a series in Crunchyroll's catalog that you think needs some more love and attention? Please send in your suggestions via e-mail to [email protected] or post a Tweet to @gooberzilla. Your pick could inspire the next installment of “Cruising the Crunchy-Catalog”!

5 minute anime review: “Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa”
What it’s about? A spin-off / prequel of sorts, revolving around one (actually it becomes two halfway through the series) of the characters featured in the manga/anime “Kaiji”. The show revolves around the day-to-day business life of the middle manager of the Teiai Corporation, Tonegawa, and his men-in-black subordinates. Tying in with “Kaiji”, the show highlights how the gambling games featured in the original show came about but also includes the challenges Tonegawa faces as a boss in middle management. The show later includes the escapades (usually of a culinary nature) of another character, Otsuki, who works in the underground construction site of the Teiai group to pay off his debts but focusses mainly on his days of freedom above-ground.
What I liked? If you’ve ever watched “Kaiji” you will immediately feel like you’re jumping right back in “the bog” as you reacquaint yourself with the characters from the original. Tonegawa, the president of Teiai (Hyodo Kazutaka), Endou, Ichijo, Kurosaki, Otsuki - the waves of nostalgia feel so good because even though they were “the bad guys”, they’re characters you created a connection with. While it does feature characters from Kaiji, don’t expect a replica of that same atmosphere because this is more of a comedic show with a slight psychological edge, showing the day-to-day and portraying them as regular people doing their jobs - even making them likeable (except for the president of course - he’s still as creepy as ever)! It’s this change of pace that makes it fresh and different, showing another side to the epic story. The other thing I also really enjoyed were the references to popular culture - from movies to flash mobs - as well as the shameless nods to “Kaiji”. It’s all done in good fun and really lends itself to this comedy angle.
What I liked a little less? The one downfall with a show like this is that it demands that you have watched the original. While you could still enjoy it as a show about a middle manager and his troubles with his superior and subordinates, a lot of the jokes hinge on the viewer having the background knowledge of what went on in “Kaiji” to make the show that much richer of an experience. It limits the amount of enjoyment that those who haven’t watched “Kaiji” can squeeze out of it, even if they do try to allude to events or try to get you to go back and watch the original. One might think that the change to a comedy style might be a drawback, but in the context of the show, it works. These people aren’t pure evil, and for the most part they’re just doing their job... it just so happens that they sort of enjoy doing it.
Could, should or wouldn’t watch? I would say this is a “could watch” for newbies and leans a little more to a “should watch” for fans of the original. It isn’t a show that requires a ton of brainpower but it’s still got a few elements of human psychology (or rather, business psychology) and inside jokes so it’s still in the same vein, which keeps it entertaining. It’s a prequel that plays a lot off the original, going in depth with the characters that you never really got to know, so while it’s a nice trip down memory lane, it might feel a bit lacking if you watch this as a standalone show. Sure, it will never be as amazing as “Kaiji” (if you haven’t watched that show - do yourself a favour and watch it immediately! And don’t let the striking character designs throw you off!) but the nostalgia and laughs are worthwhile, so if you have some time and you were a fan of “Kaiji”, give this one a watch.
