Volume 1 is out soon.
This manga is delicious and you should read it.
>>
>>153360677
Have any other chapters been released on the website or just the first two?
Where can I grab the raws?I have the script for ch1 done, I just need to get off my arse and typeset it properly
>>
>>153360843
Wanna do a live translation for us so we can actually get to know this series?
>>
>>153360930
Yeah, you know, sure thing.
>You know, since I have perfect vision as it is
>Well, even if you don't need them now, there's always presbyopia to be concerned about
>And most importantly, it's a job
>Since until a few days ago my job was to dig up dirt on the show-biz world for "True Stories of Entertainment", I still haven't gotten used to the lack of tension after getting suddenly tasked with an article about glasses
>Telling someone to describe the image of glasses from an outside standpoint of someone who doesn't wear them is kind of an odd task.
>Well, it's not like I know what's on the editor-in-chief's mind anyway.
>Aargh! I don't want to live my entire life as the higher-ups say!
>And you should probably speak up when you want to say something, Anzai-san!
>>
>Kawara-kun, since you've got perfect vision, around how far can you see?
>Well, I can tell apart the face of a person on the other side of the road.
>Besides tha-
>Huh?
>Ca
>N
>You
>Se
>Can you see me?
>>
>The glasses choice will change your life?
>Allow this mysterious beauty to guide you through the dazzling world of glasses
>>
>Huh? What? What is this?
>See what? A ghost?
>She's waving her hand at me!
>I won't be drawn into the underworld if I wave back, right?
>That girl in traditional clothing is a beauty
>But man, don't you think these glasses are wonderful? I wonder where they're from.
>Oh thank goodness, she's not a ghost.
>Can you see?
>You can't see, can you?
>Those glasses
>>
>Huh? M-me? Now that you say it, I've been having problems with my sight lately.
>In that case, if you would.
>Please, visit when you have the time"
[We'll find only the best glasses for you]
[Glasses Gallery, Meganebashi Hanako]
>Glasses Gallery...
>Not a shop I've ever heard of
>Well if you look at the address, it's in one of Ginja's best places
>Was there a glasses store in a place like that?
>Let's find out.
>A pretty young girl wandering around wearing a kimono.
>>
>I guess she has a patron or something.
>I suppose even these days there are still people who are pretty loaded.
>AAAGH, I'M JEALOUS!
>It's like we're talking about a whole another world.
>For real.
>Honestly, I can't understand what's on the mind of people who are willing to blow tens of thousands of yen on glasses
>These days you can buy glasses with lenses included for even less than 10k yen
>Honestly, don't you feel like all those glasses feel the same anyway?
>You want to get it done over with as cheap as possible, eh?
>But since we have the excuse of it being for the sake of the article, want to check that shop out?
>Might as well... Wait, Anzai-san.
>You have ink on your face.
>>
Keep doing, maybe I will be able to type it soon
>>
>Anzai-san, why the grimace?
>I don't really want to look at myself
>That reminds me, you're moving to management next month, aren't you?
>Yeah.
>Before I turned 40 I was a cameraman, then went freelance, but I have neither the ability nor the stamina to still work on-site.
>I think it's time for me to quit.
>But you know, Anzai-san, I don't really see anyone replacing you.
>I like your photos, Anzai-san.
>You take pictures that are easy to use in articles and you keep in mind the needs of both the editors and the readers.
>I'd really want to see more of your different photos.
>>
>Thank you
>You don't believe me, do you?
>Well...
>I think excessive modesty is rude to people who praise you.
>Well if you say it like that...
>If I take those words to heart and try submitting into a contest or something you'll think "Man, this guy is getting cocky", won't you?
>But the reason we're having this talk in the first place is because I've given you my honest opinion of you...
>You're a pain in the ass.
>Oh I certainly am.
>>
>new manga about getting glasses
>i have to get glasses tommorow
Kind of freaked me out.
>>
>Welcome, I've been waiting for you.
>I'm the store owner, Meganebashi Hanako.
>Please, browse all you like.
>She must be a little younger than me.
>She looks pretty composed but to be running a shop in Ginza of all places.
[Analysing]
>Must an owner in name only.
>I've been asked to look after this store.
>Are you a psychic?
>Pfft.
>>
>It was showing on your face so clearly, anyone could get it.
>She looks pretty young when she smiles.
>How about this one?
>Since I noticed you've been looking for a cel frame.
>Aah.
>There's so many I don't even know where to start looking.
>I just pick up the first thing I get my eyes on.
>Please, take as much time as you want.
>>
>Selecting glasses is much like facing yourself
>How do you want to see?
>How do you want to be seen?
>Because you put them on your face, it reflects much more about you than clothes.
>And we here see helping a person to select glasses as creating a world together with them.
>Anzai-sama, what world would you like to set your eyes upon?
>>
Please continue OP, you're doing great!
>>
>I...
>I want to be seen by someone.
>To be seen.
>No, I don't mean I want to stand out.
>Something that looks bulky, but also reliable.
>Something that brings out quietness but also a reliable presence.
>Aah, I'm sorry.
>Glasses like those wouldn't suit a dull person like me anyway.
>Not at all!
>>
>The glasses must not kill the personality of whoever is wearing them!
>People and glasses are akin to a painting and its frame!
>The painting and the frame must bring out each other's best points in harmony! That's exactly what makes it the ultimate example of human art!
>Do you have any other requests?
>>153361268
Not really new, it's been running since November.
>>
>Titanium is really a little too cool for me. I guess cel's what would be best for me.
>Although cel frames...
>Is there a problem?
>I don't know if it's something natural for them or not, but I've seen some stuff sparkling in them from time to time
>I can't help but be concerned with that
>The core...
>>
>By core you mean that thing visible inside the plastic, right?
>Yeah, it's been bugging me for a long time
>The core is inserted inside the plastic for the sake of increasing the frame's sturdiness
>So then it's not something glasses can be made without?
>Well, basically it's kind of like that
>There are ones
>Cel frames without cores
>>153361451
Oops, I didn't mean to spoiler that image.
>>
>From the well-known maker Kaneko Gankyou: Taihachiro Kinsei!
>It's true! There's no core!
>But doesn't this mean the frame will be flimsy?
>Where do you think the cel part of cel frame comes from?
>>153361365
I'm not the OP, actually.
>>
>Beats me
>Cel as in celluloid
>The cel frames that are widespread these days are made from acetate fibers extracted from cotton plants
>I thought they were plastic...
>But in that case shouldn't they be called acetate frames rather than cel frames?
>Acetate is highly transparent, colours well and is easy to work with, but weak to heat and is lacking in sturdiness
>Celluloid is hard to process and costs a lot, but in return it's solid enough without any need for a core
>It's beautiful
>A single piece of celluloid gradually worked down and then finished by Yamamoto Taihachirou - a manufacturing process called No-Core - this frame is made with immense skill.And yes, it's shilling for an actual glasses maker right here. So does Chapter 2, in fact.
>>
>Adored by people who love glasses
>Said to be the king of hand-made glasses
>The king...
>Please, try them on
>>
>They suit you very well
>Amazing...
>It's like an entirely different person compared to the Anzai-san just before!
>It's almost scary how they cling to his face
>And the shape isn't that much different from the previous glasses!
>So this is the true Anzai-san...
>The frame is thick yet not too heavy
>It gives off a calm and refined feel
>And who would've though the lack of a core would make them look so beautiful
>>
>I'm sorry, this might sound creepy but I got charmed
>No, this is great!
>Anzai-san, let's get this one! This one, absolutely! It's great!
>I never expected to be moved this much by glasses...
>How much is this?
>Taihachirou Kinsei PREMIER-V Demi
>With the lens fee included it will be 45360 yen
>I'll take it
>Thank you very much
[Wait just a little]
>40 thousand just like that, huh...
>I haven't looked at myself in a mirror like that in a long time
>>
>Lately I didn't really want to look at my shabby self
>But if glasses this cool suit me, well
>I just can't help but look
>And with Kawara-kun praising me this much... I'm really happy. I feel like my back's going to give out.
>This annoying guy actually took my words so seriously!
>These glasses are great, and so are your photos
>I'm being honest with you, I think they're cool.
>>
>For Anzai-san, those glasses turned out to have worth far beyond 40000 yen
>For people like him, who are too serious for their own good and work excessively hard
>It might be hard to honestly accept someone's praise without believing in themselves.
>>
>>153361643
What a sucker.
>>
>However, miraculously enough, while picking out new glasses, you're able to view yourself more neutrally than any other time.
>You're able to see things you never noticed before, despite looking for them.
>The one who Anzai-san wanted to be seen by the most was himself, wasn't it?
>He has extremely low self-confidence.
>Even despite that he's well-esteemed both in our company and outside of it
>Excuse me, but aren't you going to go back?
>Well, I actually came here for an article in the first place.
>Meganebashi-san, if you excuse me, how old are you?
>>
>I'm 21
>TWENTY ONE?
>I normally go to the university, but on weekends and free days I run the store.
>I thought she was around 25...
>Well, in that case, who is it that left you the store to run?
>Statistics show that around 60 million people living in Japan use glasses.
>In other words, every 2nd person wears them.
>However, how many of these people truly find glasses?
>Huh...what?
>Glasses are a fashion accessory as much as they are a sight-correcting tool
>But a lot of then wear unfitting glasses, and hate wearing them
>>
>Because they're something that interacts with our eyes, our body's sole unprotected organ
>I really wish more people would love glasses
>I genuinely love glasses
>What is it with this girl...
>She's talking about nothing but glasses
>And being there in the moment where the customer meets with his destined article...
>>
>It turns me on.My kind of girl
>This job of introducing people to glasses, I love it so much, I can't get enough of it.
>She's a pervert!
>I'm unspeakably grateful to the one who provided me with such an opportunity.
>Well then tell me!
>Just who is that person?!
>>
>Kawara! That special on glasses was a massive hit!
[Glasses for men that drive women wild!]
>I guess it was great that she carried this much weird passion!
>Ha...ha... Thank you very much, editor-in-chief
>Since you know, young people these days flip between putting a lot of effort into nothing or not doing anything at all
>Seeing such a whole-hearted weirdo is delightful!
>I ended up using pretty much the entirety of that girl's speech.
>Well, I guess I did understand her feelings, more or less.
>I'll be relying on your if we need a special on glasses soon, then!
>Understood, then I'll go get some news.
>>
>You take great pictures, after all...
>Nothing special about it.
>It's just an honourable mention, after all.
>Your landscape photography skills haven't gotten rusty at all, have they?
>Well obviously! How many do you think I've taken over my career?
>You know, you could say that I don't have any core as an artist photographer.
>>
>But I have pride in my skills as a business cameraman, the ones I've honed for years.
>Well then, where are we going?
>For starters...
>To the Glasses Gallery
[Because I want to know more. About glasses, and about that girl]
And that's it. Ch2 somewhen in the future. I also need to find raws further on.

>>153361852
>Glasses for men that drive women wild!
Even for a manga i can't help but roll my eyes at that one.

>>153361929
Well duh, it's a magazine.
>>
>>153361925
Thanks for the live translation glasses really aren't an exciting subject though. So is this just about the chick helping people get glasses?

Pretty much, I haven't really given chapter two a proper read though.
>glasses aren't an exciting subject
>>
I'm a fan of the glasses look but isn't the industry an overly high markup sham?
Makes me look at this with disdain.

fuck you pieces of shit

Depends on what you're getting. You can easily get cheap frames and lenses, but I'm not the kind of person who would cheap out on something I treasure and use 365 days of the year as long as I'm awake.

>>153361925
How can I contact you if I will find the raws?

>>153363483
Hit me up then, thank you in advance.

There are actually a lot of Japanese women with a glasses fetish.
