Uramichi Oniisan

A manga about a man who works on a children’s television show who ends up showing his dark, cynic, and pessimistic personality sometimes.

I love this kind of dark comedy. Uramichi bitching about responsibilities of being a functioning adult to the children on his show are priceless.

On an interesting side note, I learned about this web manga series after creator Gaku Kuze posted a small Uramichi Oniisan short on twitter complaining about the state of manga piracy. Somehow it was very fitting for this character to explain why Japanese publishers were hesitant to crack down on manga piracy. It’s a good thing they’ve recently changed their attitude about it.
