I will never be over the fact that tbhk really takes place in 2015
We know that AidaIro published the first chapter in December 2014
The Yugi Twins were in the 66th Festival in 1968 and the curent present have the 113th Festival.
On this panel, it's written that the 1st of September was a Tuesday. The closest years to the manga airing having this date being either 2009 or 2015.
Bonus:
Which means: the 1st year (Aoi, Akane, Nene) were born in 1999, Teru in 1998 and Kou and Mitsuba in 2000.

Watched Akira for the first time today, I somehow managed to avoid spoilers for my entire existence, and all I can think of how pivotal it was as an inspiration for Nightow creating Trigun.
There are so many parallels visually and thematically, but they both are unique stories.
It would seem obvious to say that the Akira manga by Katsuhiro Otomo was influenced by Blade Runner (an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) given the timeline, but that's not the case since the Blade Runner movie only came out 6 months before the manga, and if you know anything about publishing and planning a story, the manga was probably in the works long before then.
Turns out, both Blade Runner and Otomo were influenced by a French comic called "The Long Tomorrow" written by Dan O'Bannon, and illustrated by Moebius.
Art inspires art and am just!!! I love seeing it.

You're American?!
Anon, this is the expression I feel you had while you wrote that sentence.
Yes. Yes, I am American. What gave it away? Me stating all the time I'm American (rural Southwest, Catholic, bisexual, a slut, Hispanic/Black, a Leo, a vegetarian) or was it the way I spell "colors"?
For an aging millennial who knows better, I actually offer up way too much information in the tags. So . . . fuck it, let me offer up more - I was born in Japan due to America's strategic colonization in over 80 countries (aka my father was in the Air Force), so my first passport has a picture of a week-old me! Whenever I renew my license or fill out any type of legal paperwork, I have to present five documents to prove my American citizenship since I was born in a regular Japanese hospital instead of the one on the American base. When I travel, internationally or domestically, it never fails that I get held up because my passport is American, my place of birth is Japan, and my place of residency is . . . just know people don't realize it's an American state. I travel often, but I think about two years ago, I might have fucked an international criminal at a Canadian music festival because I got held up in the Montreal airport for hours trying to leave and since then, I always have to go to the counter to print out my boarding pass and I always get asked additional questions. Odd, but if the criminal was who I think it was, the sex was worth it.
