Sono ‘Okodawari’, Ore ni mo Kure yo

Sono ‘Okodawari’, Ore ni mo Kure yo

A documentary manga about different people and their unique ‘commitments’ that they follow to enrich and enjoy their lives.

I’ve discussed this series on a previous episode before.

This is such a fun one to read! I love everything from the man obsessed with potato salad to the man who enjoys walking home. Each commitment is strange and unique but also super relatable and mostly easy to understand. I even tried the combination of canned tuna and the grapefruit chu-hi for myself and enjoyed it.

There was a Japanese TV mockumentary which was extremely different and strange as well.
