if asakura and obata didn't want anybody to think their characters are gay then they shouldn't have kept making show-ha shoten bc WHAT is this latest chapter. why is jun so heartbroken and apologizing to tetta about failing him. why is the biggest tsukkomi gag about how tetta just wants jun to be his partner. the june chapter hasnt come out yet but happy pride month in advance bc if these characters dont kiss in the next chapter im going to be surprised

New manga arrived! Has anyone been reading this by any chance?

The theme of learning the ropes of comedy appealed to me. And ofc artist Takeshi Obata brings a real Bakuman vibe.

Show-ha Shoten: Continuing the Series

[b3crew]

REVIEW | "Show-Ha Shoten!" - Volume Two | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

There’s a science to comedy. It’s not just about getting on stage and telling jokes; you also got to test the air and the waters that engulf it. Depending on the audience, a great joke can sometimes fall on its face; a stupid joke, on the other hand, can potentially bring the house down. Show-ha Shoten! demonstrates this strongly in its second volume, as our manzai duo aims for the top.

Beginning where the first volume ended, Azemichi and Taiyo are prepping for the first comedy competition. Win, and they can grow to become the next big manzai duo; lose, and the dream is as dead as a Monty Python parrot. Knowing what kind of competition they have, Azemichi and Taiyo decide to change their act last-minute. The end result is a comedy bit that plays with a simple fact: if done enough times, anything can be funny.

It goes without saying that Azemichi and Taiyo’s bit, which involves feeding animals at the zoo, is a simple one. But how it’s presented is what makes it comedy gold. As Azemichi tries one too many times to feed the animals, the buildup to the punchline grows bigger and bigger. Taiyo, playing all of the animals and the zoo manager, keeps things at a regular pace, until he switches things up to make the joke run faster. Not only is it presented well thanks to Takeshi Obata’s art, but its pacing is pitch-perfect thanks to Akinari Asakura’s writing.
