Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

4 omnibus volumes (in English as of 5/8/2023, ongoing).

Licensed by Kodansha.

How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs? This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon! Uramichi is a 31-year-old host on a kids' show who leads exercise routines and teaches life lessons colored by one main theme: Adulthood sucks. Alongside mascots played by a couple of bushy-tailed twentysomethings and a singing duo whose music embodies the notion of being kicked while you're down, Uramichi wades through the misery of working life, one sardonic comment at a time...

I hate Justin McElroy for validating my lifelong fear of invisible ocean creatures in my pool with the ‘glass shark’ bit, because now every time I am in ANY body of water I have to act like I’m not afraid of Glass Shark so it can’t smell my very real fear

I want a Marvel parody of Infinite Crisis where Gwen punched the universe so hard, Uncle Ben comes back as the Red Hood.

Will your crocodad au come back? It has an Iron grip around my heart 😭😭

i've been thinking about maybe forgetting posting it vaguely linearly and throwing parts from different arcs whenever i feel like it instead, since it's that damn flashback that got me stuck. i don't know if ppl will vibe with that tho, since i've posted most of what the timeline is supposed to be like it's probably fine/shouldn't be too confusing.

also the timing of this ask is great, i just drew that, inspired by a mom and her kid i saw on the bus today:

Superbat are dating but keeping it a secret from the JL bc they both agree they don't want their relationship to affect the league, and Batman does a very good job of this--he is a brick wall, he is nicer to Clark bc they're friends but does not otherwise reveal any deeper emotions or affection.

Clark, on the other hand, is very bad at concealing his emotions. He stares lovingly at Batman, he clearly wants to hold Batman's hand, he looks so happy whenever he talks to Batman. The rest of the JL feels so bad for Supes bc he's clearly pining after Batman who will barely give him the time of day, so in order to cheer up their friend, they decide to help him get over his feelings by setting him up on dates.

Now every time they have a meeting or are hanging out at the watchtower, the other members keep trying to set him up on dates or introduce to him to people, showing him pictures and trying to sell him on someone, and Clark is trying so hard to politely refuse all this without explaining why and it just makes the JL try harder bc obviously he's just so in love with Batman he can't even think about trying with someone else.

Batman is not amused by everyone trying to send his boyfriend on dates with other people.
