| We need more such adaptations! |
 |
| Literally got announced 13 hours after I started reading the manga and imagining "If they made an anime today, that guy would not have a Walkman but a a smart phone." |
    |
| i love the idea of adapting old stuff that never got a chance or w/e assuming they don't get nerfed ps: ill DEFINTIELY be simping for the girl |

| This is not the same case as Psyren. Psyren manga is done. But Jan's story still continues. This manga has a 10 volumes long sequel, and then a sequel that is still publishing monthly. It was weekly until the current sequel and didn't get axed. It also has a spinoff where main character also plays mahjong lol. Unfortunately the sequals are not translated yet. It has a loyal following persisting through years. Conguratulations to mangaka for finally getting an adaptation. |
| Kind of reminds me of a side-scrolling beat-em-up game I played on the PlayStation Vita called Uppers. Love the gangster vibe. 😁 |

@Memore Ι haven't seen you in series I have also watched that also contain girls putting a positive score(anything above 6) so I thought you liked only BL
| @Yubisoft, you are wrong, no connectiom at all, I like different genres. 6 is a good score. I don't want to discuss this topic anymore. Have a good day. |

| @Memore Please stop accusing people randomly on the internet. I just wanted to ask you because I was curious and you have your profile comments turned off. I was shocked to that you felt pressure because I didn't say anything negative about your tastes just noticed a very consistent pattern and your comment here sparked my curiosity. Jesus Christ some people. |
