A young '00s american weeaboo's adventures in wonderland. In some way more relevant than ever, in some ways totally outdated, let's read this snapshot of a different time.
A manga by Felipe Smith, a pioneer in achieving what was once a near impossible dream, being a gaijin actually serializing a manga in Japan.

>Meet Chicago youth Milton, who frequents his local comics shop to watch the latest episodes of Peepo Choo, an anime that’s as wildly popular as it is bizarre. Milton would like nothing more than to escape his dreary neighborhood and travel to Tokyo, where he’d wear his cosplay outfit until it totally fell apart. Perhaps he will get to do just that.
Yesterday we left off with Milton discovering the cruel truth about Peepo Choo and Japan, Rockstar Morimoto getting revenge, and Jody as far from ever from losing his virginity. Only person who everything seems to be going great for is Gill. How will it all end?

Volume 3/3.

No only did I not get to start earlier, but it's even later than yesterday. Such is life.
Ahh, and now technical difficulties.

a three-day storytime? why not just post a chapter a day?

>>280478466
What's wrong with 3 day long?

lol

!!!!!!

>>280478820
doesn't make any sense when the volume count is so low. Doing a longer storytime could have gotten a lot more attention and readers, but instead it's going to burn out halfway through the weekend because OP didn't even bother posting a link to the last volume.

>>280483703
let's be real this shit was never going to attract many readers in the first place. most people on this board can't get past the westerner written manga thing. not a single thread hit bump limit before being archived. it's not even a very good manga from any perspective besides the anthropological curiosity of reading the first westerner written manga published in japan. i'm glad i got to read this because it is interesting in the most detached sense but this was never going to be a good story time candidate.

>>280483852
motherfucking tiger slippers

>>280483812
then compromise like the OPM WC or Shima threads and just post a few chapters a day rather than one. But saying people won't get into the series is just ridiculous, you can find lots of comments on the longer dailies like one piece or naruto from anons just now starting to read. Volume per day is just so terrible for the overall quality of the storytime, the dragonball and jojos ones were abysmal and actively killed my interest to read that stuff I was mildly into, and the same applies here.

>>280483703
I thought about it and fair enough

>>280483812
That was my thinking, no point in devoting up 21 days to this, it's usually the case that either a manga gets interest or it doesn't. Though, like I said I did think about it. I mean, a three volume storytime wasn't an issue a few years ago, dailies were a rare thing. I still think dailies are kinda dumb for most cases, but they do have their advantages, and more importantly, I suppose it's kinda unavoidable once they're in the majority of form of dumping. Free market pressures at play, it has to be a daily now if you want to stay at all competitive. It's what the people gravitate to. Kinda like how generals start to take over a board once they're allowed. Gotta go with the flow I guess
And yeah my bad I forgot to link previous volumes.

>>280484505
What the hell did they censor here.

>>280484540
Wait, no I think it's meant to just be the hoodie pattern

Would you party hard with Morimoto if you could?

>>280484453

The End
Despite the setup theres no sequel unfortunately. Would have really liked to see Morimoto in Chicago.
I hope you enjoyed it, was a very fun reread for me.

>>280485894
Thank you based OP.

>>280485894
Thanks OP. Finally found out the ending for this ever since Tokyopop died. It's kinda funny how some fucked up things in life give hope to other people in this work.

I really do like this series, it was short and sweet. Apparently the author worked on a ghost rider series afterwards and now does a podcast talking about japan.

Oh yeah, I remembered this, if you're seen/read Uchuu Kyoudai, you'll recognize this guy. He was based on the author of this actually.

Just finished reading through the last thread, will probably finish this tonight and tomorrow. I wonder, was the design of the masked giganigga inspired by Dorohedoro at all? I can't stop seeing that in it, could just be convergent thinking, though. I also see an affinity with MFKZ. There's something magnetic in this subgenre of hyper violent, muscled up, weeaboo-westaboo comics. Had heard of this one passingly through the years but never looked into it. So yeah, thanks for sharing OP.

tell her how it is my nigga

What was this all about

>>280489225
Black American otaku dweeb hates Chicago and thinks Japan is Disneyland, but cooler. Takes a trip there with his loser bully + his psycho murderer comic-shop boss and secret hitman, and gets culture shocked upon realizing Japan isn't all rainbows and pocky. Psycho murderer hitman boss does head-splattering Tarantino gang warfare stuff against the yakuza in the background while this is going on during the day. Mirroring the MC is a naive but dangerous yakuza who thinks American gangsta hood flicks are so dang cool and true to life, and models himself after that. Which of course makes him unpopular with the low-key traditional yakuza, causing all sorts of inside conflicts.
The appeal is in seeing the comedy that ensues, and how the characters learn and grow. Also fat tits and blood.

Thank you OP, awesome satire

>>280489610
So the yakuza is so cringed by his brother, he fakes his death and wants to murder him? Talk about overreacting

>>280484235
>>280484269
>>280484299
>>280484325
>>280484344
Is it bad that I don't feel sorry for her thinking it was okay to basically assault the guy's in suits and then get sad when they had her stop?

>>280484677
You could say that he was tempting fate.

>>280485352
>This is not even my final form

>>280485711
Milton should have gone after flatty and not fatty

Artstyle is remarkably good for a westerner. I liked the early 2000s designs. I check what weebs from my country draw from time to time and it’s clearly inferior than this.

Bumpo Boo.

>>280490856
They told her to do it though.

>>280486788
>It's kinda funny how some fucked up things in life give hope to other people in this work.
You know the ending always kinda stuck with me. Makes me wonder if all the obscure shit I get really attached to, if the author would actually care.
Part of me also thinks that maybe they don't care that much and maybe don't take it personally or they keep a rather impersonal distance from their work? The idea of liking something so much that not even the author really liked kinda makes you feel like a chump.

Only creator I can think of that kinda publicly takes it personally when their work is rejected by the masses is Maeda Jun. Guy disappeared for months after Kamisama flopped. I mean I've seen other authors get pissed when axed, but I think it's a bit rare to feel like they personally put their soul into the work.

>>280493832
Another one. For new readers.

>>280485894
Thank you for the storytime, OP. It was interesting.

>>280492393
Yeah, same here. I wish it was more up to par with this.

>>280485894
Thank you OP! I don't know if i would call this series good but i did enjoy it. It's crude but i liked its message and the fact that it showed how both sides could be ignorant of the other (weeaboos and westaboos).

>>280496550
One more and that's it.

>>280503184
Ok, I'm with you.

>>280477901 (OP)
thanks

>>280487734
Huh, interesting.
