Makoto, Kazuto and Yuma are first grade students at Dokkyo Medical University, they took part in this podcast series which we called 'Implications'. They listened to and then watched a TV advertisement/commercial that we sourced from Youtube. They weren't able to see the end of the ad, so they had to infer what was suggested/implied through the sounds, music and what they saw. They recorded themselves talking about what they had seen, and then decided what the ad was for or who the company was that made the ad. Enjoy! Follow this link to see the commercial, and to check to see if they were correct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxvAKrlGcNQ

Dear viewers, we were truly unable to fully come to terms with our opinions on Sh*n from Netflix's new sensational gay Asian dating show, The Boyfriend. This could potentially be our last episode... Tensions rise as we try to list off our rankings of the members... Who's Lee's #1?! Why does everyone love Kazuto? Was Nuri right about what might potentially happen in the last two episodes?! (At the time of recording, it was not out yet... and yes, he was.) Thanks for tuning and listening to our amazing cultural commentary on the show that's sweeping over Gaysia right now! We'll be back with some regularly scheduled (or irregularly??) program soon! Maybe... with someone who everyone has

Poor Kyoko! We ask ourselves if it's ever cool or attractive to be a virgin and talk about why boys can be so cruel to girls, especially when it comes to sex, not for the faint hearted! contact: WeAppreciateManga@gmail.com Sundome vol. 3 (Yen Press) By Kazuto Okada Translation by Christine Schilling Lettering by Roberto M. Flores Topics: Kazuto’s improved cheesecake pinup style. Shame in relationships. Why boys treat girls like garbage, the Kyoko pathos. Hideo’s Self-improvement. The high school experience of sex and is it ever cool to be a virgin? Synopsis: Rumours of Kurumi Sahana spread around the school and she is assaulted by one jealous schoolgirl. Kurumi becomes absent from school and Hideo Aiba begins to set the record straight on the rumours. He meets with the leader of the music club whom is able to trick Hideo into thinking Kurumi is in the same room as them, having sex. Of course, it being a trick, the boy simply has a talent for miming, and calls it an air-blow job. It was how he was able to fool his girlfriend who spread the rumours. He even goes so far to suggest settling things with Hideo through an air-fight. Hideo visits Kurumi afterwards and she tells him that she’ll return to school tomorrow. All would be well for Hideo but he finds a pair of men’s shoes at her home. Hideo assumes it’s a deterrent for burglars and thinks no more of it. After school, Katsun takes Kyouko home by his bike and Hideo takes Kurumi home on his. Kurumi notices that Hideo has become more stronger, this is because Hideo wanted to exercise so to alleviate the sexual frustration from their relationship but now, he does so because he wants to be able to carry Kurumi. Kyouko’s ex-boyfriend arrives at the Roman club house and makes it clear that he wants to spend time with her. Kyouko is happy to ditch her karaoke plans and join him but it becomes all too clear to her that she is being used for sex and nothing else. When she returns to the club house, she finds that the boys have left without her. Kurumi stayed behind in case she returned and Kyouko finds solace in having Kurumi as a friend. The rest of the club happen to walk by the ex-boyfriend of Kyuoko and overhear his disrespectful conversation about her. Katsun, the one who is always quick to call Kyouko a moron is the first person to defend her honour. After the geeks get a beating, they deduce Kyuoko and Kurumi are available and regroup for Kareoke with them. When Kurumi falls sick again Hideo manages to look after her and shows initiative by cleaning up after her and carrying her. One evening, whilst leaving Kurumi’s home, Hideo bumps into an older boy and almost gets in to a fight until a much older man comes to save Hideo. Hideo recognises the shoes are the same ones he found in Kurumi’s home. After this hideo is no longer sexually aroused by Kurumi and is found in the library researching on erectile disfunction. The Roman club attempt to solve Hideo’s problem, including the well-endowed Kyouko who sadly fails to excite Hideo much to her own dismay. When alone with Hideo, Kurumi finally succeeds in getting rid of Hideo’s anxiety and arouses him once again.

Kazuto Okada relies too much on the saucy cheesecake spectacle of panty shots and cleavage when in reality he shines with comedy. skip the synopsis @ minute 9:00 contact: WeAppreciateManga@gmail.com Sundome vol. 2 By: Kazuto Okada Translation by: Christine Schilling Lettering by: Roberto Flores Topics: Criticism and disappointment. Has Kurumi and Hideo done the sexy yet? Censorship, comparing “Honey Room” to Sundome and the “Barrier kink” Further reading: The Art of Censorship in Post-war Japan ( by Kirsten Cather) Appreciating Kyouko! Synopsis (and first impression): Hideo runs errands for the sick Kurumi only to almost get ran over whilst crossing the road. Soaked by the crush water bottles he was carrying, Kurumi lets him into her apartment, where apparently, she lives alone. Since his pants are wet, Kurumi let’s Hideo wear her gym pants which ends up giving him an erection. The next day Hideo sees that Kurumi is wearing those same gym shorts, hot and bothered by this distraction he gets his arse kicked by his gym teacher. The alumnus of the Roman Club (a.k.a. an Old-Boy) visits the club members and helps them in strength training at the dome. He also wears a mask to protect his identity, it’s straight up a gimp mask. The Oldboy has been monitoring the club members, and when Kurumi is cryptic and asks him if his connections have given information on her, he responds by saying “in a way yes”. Throughout her exploits, Kurumi is able to tease and seduce Hideo. She says to him that she was once a boy in order to get him to stop masturbating but later retracts her statement. During a Roman club sleep together, she touches Hideo, Hideo feels guilty but she lies to him, and tells him that it was a wet dream, “an act of god” and that he couldn’t help it. The terms of the relationship are clear. Hideo can’t touch himself to the point of orgasm unless Kurumi tells him to. Where ever Kurumi is a spy, sent by the Old-boy’s to test the Roman club’s strict policy of no sex or girlfriends, is something that remains a mystery. (Although this was a disappointing volume, the page flow is good considering how much dialogue there is and how it’s not an action manga. Moments of physical comedy prove to be Kazuto’s best, such as the drop kick to the ex-president being a good example. – James) Instagram – weappreciatemanga.co.uk Twitter - @RealJamesFitton Website – Weappreciatemanga.com Email – Weappreciatemanga@gmail.com

Hello! After a brief vacation/some technical issues with our recording software, we are regrettably back on our bullshohei—[John forcibly rips away the keyboard]okay I promise that’s the last one. This time we are joined by Kazuto Yamazaki, NPB expert and author at Beyond the Box Score, Deltagraphs, and elsewhere. Kazuto offers his insight on baseball in Japan, from both a technical and cultural point of view: how does posting work? And what is up with the older gentleman wearing a poop emoji hat? Kazuto profiles a few interesting players before digging into the subject which most piques our curiousity: Shohei Ohtani. Where will he choose to sign? What role will he play for his new team? Will he even come stateside for the 2018 season? We have none of these answers! But listen to us speculate wildly, say what we do know, and overall dream on what acquiring a player of Ohtani’s caliber would mean for a team. Note: if you are interested in learning more about Japanese baseball (if you happen to be a baseball fan who works nights/has a newborn/is up at 2 AM on the regular, it’s a real gift to Club Insomnia), Kazuto is an excellent follow on Twitter. You can also check out Deltagraphs, which is like the NPB version of Fangraphs, and maybe consider becoming a member there to help grow the site. Note: If you’re searching for the podcast to subscribe (and we would love it if you did) please be aware that it is listed as simply “Lookout Landing” and not “Lookout Landing 2.0” which is understandably confusing. We’re sorry. Music: Nippon Ham Fighters Theme Song Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

They begin with Kazuto Tatsuta's Ichi-F: A Worker's Graphic Memoir of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant (Kodansha Comics). This is a 500+ page account of the reconstruction and cleanup in the wake of 2011's disaster in Fukushima. As the guys discuss, the text does two things at once: provides objective reportage of the situation surrounding Fukushima and reveals the author's very personal experiences in securing and maintaining his role in the cleanup efforts. While both guys enjoyed the book, perhaps Derek more than Shea, they nonetheless wondered about Tatsuta's background as a mangaka -- "Kazuto Tatsuta" is a nom de plume, so it's difficult to determine any bibliography -- and any potential agenda (if any) underlying this work. After their focus on real-world disaster, the guys move into the realm of fantasy. Platinum End (VIZ Media) is a current shōnen series from Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the same team behind Bakuman and Death Note. The second English-language volume was just released this month, so the guys have enough story under their belts to get a secure feel for the art and narrative. As Derek explains, the premise appears a little on the hokey side, at least at first, but as things develop the story begins to take on a life of its own, one that soon hooks you. Much of this is because of Obata's style, but there are also larger thematic issues that make this title worth exploring. The guys discourse over the text's theological import, its engagement with gender identity, and its satiric commentary on contemporary popular culture. This is definitely a series that both Shea and Derek will continue reading.
