Chapter 5 came out a couple of days ago. Just dumping this really cute chapter for those who have missed it.
The story so far:
Ootani is part of a "cool kids" group at school, but he feels lonely and left out because he loves 80s Japanese culture, especially idols. He finds out that Yakushimaru, a quiet girl who sits next to him, loves 80s stuff just as much, if not more, than he does. What follows is a lighthearted (so far) story of cute moments, hints of romance, and tons of 80s references.
You can find previous chapters I've dumped in the archive or just look for them on batoto. Just ctrl+F the subject.

End of chapter 5. Hope you enjoyed it.

You can't just do this! It's killing me!
Why so short? Its weekly?
I'm loving it
This manga is too much for me.
>>152575469
Only one group has picked it up.
>>152575842
>Touch 80s hair
[X] Yes
[ ] No
Thanks, OP.
Between the chapter 69 of Sesuji and this I'm going to need an insulin shot.
>>152577856
Yes! Holy crap Sesuji wo Pin to is amazing as well. I've been following these two manga and they're amazing the whole way throughout.
I love how both of them don't force unnecessary melodrama (so far), especially with Sesuji. I fully expected Sakimoto and the other dancers to be complete assholes to the main couple. But no, they're just friendly rivals with a passion for dance.
>>152577970
I legitimately cried at the most recent chapter. It was so legitimately sweet and touching between two characters I never would've expected it from.
As far as 80s stuff goes though is City Hunter the most Bubble Era anime ever created? Everything from the visuals to the music is (kind of like Miami Vice) a product that so perfectly encapsulates that era.
Thanks for the story time, OP. Never would have found out about this if you hadn't posted.
>>152577856
>>152577970
Same with these now, too.
>>152578745
I almost teared up too! It's such a great work.
City Hunter is great. Amazingly well done. I also like Bubblegum Crisis, but that ran into '91.
>>152578756
No problem!
One thing I really appreciate about this is that the author's art and character designs have just enough of an '80s stylization to them to feel authentic without looking like they're just aping that period.
>>152579549
I agree. He nails a fine balance between modern sensibilities and retro stylings with Yakushimaru.
>she loses her sexhair bangs
>we get >>152574078, >>152574114 and >>152574162
I'm so conflicted as to whether I like this or not.
>>152573864
Can one girl get any more perfect?
I do kind of miss her idol look in the first chapter, though. That kind of hairstyle is so rare nowadays.
>>152580149
I like it. I never knew sparse bangs can be so cute.
>>152580198
Same.
Yo, this shit's fucking dope OP.
Can't believe I missed the last 4 threads. Thanks a bunch.
This fucking chapter, man.
So much HHHHNNNGGHHH and lewd I couldn't take it. I read a lot of manga but rarely do I see a whole chapter, basically start to finish, that's such pure and concentrated romance.

How could you not like it? My dick and heart both malfunctioned at the same time, especially in that third panel of this page >>152574114
Very cute chapter.
I spoiled myself with the raws And we won't escape retarded drama. ;_;my japanese is shit but the girl is going to reject the hero because of daddy issue. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>152586885
Well I was expecting drama of some kind but I don't want it to be bad. Hopefully the releases keep being quick, there's nothing more frustrating that having to work through a bad period in a manga when the releases are slow.
I'm guessing this is weekly?
>>152574223
>cicadas' cry
Goddammit.
Can't unhear.
Oh, a thread. Let's dump the unQCed chap then.
>>152578745
>As far as 80s stuff goes though is City Hunter the most Bubble Era anime ever created?
Kimagure Orange Road IS the 80s. To me, that is the perfect encapsulation of 80s Japan. I still get nostalgic and slightly sad when I think about KOR.
>>152590076
last page. thanks for reading.
>>152590094
Thank you for the scanlation!
>>152590094
That's a lot of dedication to practice that much.
>>152590094
I love anon for doing this, I really do.
How far do the raws go?
Both OP and the other anon who dumped the other chapter, tyvm
>>152590094
Dawww. She did all that practice for him. Such a nice girl.
>>152591486
Will she also practice for her honeymoon?
Anyone else think it was creepy how the karaoke worker was casually spying on her?
>>152591557
Kinda.
I mean, Yakushimaru treads a fine line between cute and sexy.
>>152592456
She's one of those where her cute is cute but can also be sexy. Even her name is cute.
Thankssss i love this series
