According to a new report published Wednesday by the Pew Research Center, you live in a deeply embarrassing and barely functional country. “Our latest research and statistical analysis shows that you are currently the citizen of an objectively humiliating nation wreathed in a miasma of pettiness, sloth, rank stupidity, and failure,” the report read in part, adding that this—this goddamned disgrace of a culture and system of government, if that’s what you call whatever the hell this is—is where you live, where you are from, and where you will likely die.

Viral "Green Yuri" Manga 'The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All' Anime Adaptation Announced

Sumiko Arai’s popular Yuri manga The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All (Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta) is getting an anime adaptation. The news broke in Japan on Thursday, when the third collected Japanese volume, which included the anime's announcement, was released.

The manga's wrap-around packet band, as shown in the picture below from the official Animate AL. PLAZA X (formerly Twitter) account showcases the animation decision. No information on the anime's staff or release timeframe has been publicly announced at the time of writing.

Mangaka Sumiko Arai posted in response to the news on X, writing, "It’s so so touching and I’m so happy to be able to share the news with you guys... I hope it becomes something that’s loved worldwide by such a diverse & lovely audience like you guys. Thank you for always being a huge support, you made this happen!"

The manga, which started its weekly run on X in 2022, follows gyaru Aya Oosawa, who develops a crush on the alt clerk at the CD shop she frequents, unaware that it is her female classmate, Mitsuki Koga. Yen Press further describes the series:

Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, always dressed well, and has impeccable taste in music. Little does she know―this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can’t help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question―but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad…

The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All has cultivated a massive international online following. The first English volume became the publisher's Yen Press top manga debut, according to a "2024 Rewind" published on the company's social media accounts.

The second volume in the Yuri series was released in English on Tuesday. It is translated by Ajani Oloye with lettering by Brandon Bovia.

You can check out the first two collected volumes of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All in English digitally and in paperback today: https://amzn.to/4gNfMc6

the thing that’s so pathetic about trump’s zelenskyy hatred is that it clearly all stems from the fact that he wasn’t willing to collude with trump to get dirt on hunter biden during trump’s first term which made trump look like a dipshit and got him impeached and this is only enhanced by the fact that zelenskyy subsequently became an international hero lauded by the institutions trump secretly craves respect from which he will never have

i remember when this stuff first happened think ing that all this was hilarious, and goofy. Maybe a little concerning, but this was going to cause change, right?

Wrong. It didn't help the American people, it just made the CEO's increase their security.

And now all the censorship and propaganda surrounding him is terrifying. He's just a man. A kid really. He stood up for something, and that something is the same thing that pisses millions of Americans off every year.

Americans spend $18 billion on cancer treatments every year.

United Healthcare's profit is $33 billion dollars every year.

They could pay for ALL of our cancer treatments and still have a $17 billion profit.

NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.

reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.

luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.

news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.

multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.

and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.

Genuinely at a loss as to how else they could account for the smiling, seemingly contented individual, witnesses reported Tuesday that local happy man Leonard Olson, 36, must either be stupid or evil. “I’m not sure what that grinning fucker’s deal is, exactly—maybe he’s a completely corrupt and appalling person, maybe he’s just a dumbass,” said passerby Jason Hansen, who appeared bewildered by the visibly cheerful Olson, adding that the man either had no clue about the horrible things going on around him every day, or was knowingly and deliberately causing the horrible things going on around him every day.
