[Mobile Suit Gundam] A flavorful scene even after branching into Seek Axus.

Otaku Review Image

Ah, just because I’ve fallen in love doesn’t mean I’m going to work!! Hmph! I’ve lost my respect for you, Garma-kun! … Ahahaha!! … Space Bird Garma-kun, huh… I want you not to underestimate NEETs!!! Eh!? So you’re going to become a dictator with that!?

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:39

The NEET Giren…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:40Yeahx54

Dictators are trivial.
After all, being a NEET was the best.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:48

>>2GQ Ghiren thought, “Stop doing foolish things and just work.”

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:58Yeahx9

>>2I wish you had noticed 6 years earlier!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:41

I would like to ask a word from the living Garma-kun.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:46Yeahx24

>>3Those days were fun…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:41Yeahx8

This could get me killed someday.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:35

>>4It’s correct because it will merge with the main story.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:10Yeahx2

>>4If Mr. Degin was gathering votes from the port workers and helping the Daikun faction with the election…
I was also lifted up and before I knew it, I was made the top of Zeon after Daikun-san’s illness (not assassination).

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:41Yeahx25

I thought of this when I heard you were staying indoors.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:42

I became a politician to show Cecilia something great, but!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:44

Wait a moment.
Despite being the head of state, domestic affairs are the responsibility of the Prime Minister.
I am only entrusting it to Darushia-kun.
I’m not slacking off.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:54Yeahx10

>>8Even during the first time, Gihren wields power, but he oddly tries to cover up the pretense seriously.
I wouldn’t act in areas where I don’t have authority unless I get approval from Deggin.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:48

>>18Giren himself recognizes that he is merely the commander of the military and the representative of the king, but his subordinates do not think that way.
It is natural for the Prime Minister to have diplomatic authority, but that is not acknowledged.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:50Yeahx22

A man who becomes a dictator by working seriously.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:50Yeahx25

Giren Zabi dies approximately six years after the victory of the independence war at the hands of his sister.
During the time of living in the mountain lodge, many writings were left in handwritten form.
Most of them reflect on the pre-war space tenement era.
The text included many sentiments lamenting younger brother Dozuru, who had been abandoned, and father Deggin, who had been assassinated.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:23Yeahx1

>>13Smoothly confirmed assassination.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:52Yeahx26

I thought this story would turn into a daily gag, but in the end, it’s that…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:55Yeahx8

>>14I’ve gotten so used to Char’s appearance in the world of Gundam that it really struck me how unusual this is.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:57Yeahx3

>>20It’s a basic gag manga, but the fact that everyone is in that position means that the story is progressing just like in the main storyline…
Lalah also died, and Kshiriya’s fate was the same.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:24

>>23In this manga, Char can casually become a duck, but if Lala gets a beam saber stuck in her head, she dies…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:26

>>144It’s not uncommon for things to start dying the moment the gag correction is gone.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:52Yeahx14

I was inhaling toxic gas and reminiscing about those days with a carousel of memories, it was funny… no, it’s actually tough.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:52

I think I’m not suited for small jobs.
It’s either doing something big or being a NEET.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:54

There are some great historical figures who, in peacetime, would probably be types who were NEETs or loafers.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:56Yeahx3

This Garma-kun is exactly like the original storyline and isn’t even an alternate version…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:51Yeahx4

>>21Well, it probably isn’t a past like this!
I can’t make any guarantees, but!

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:56Yeahx8

I thought that if Deigin hadn’t been assassinated, I could have gone back to being a NEET and handed over all the work to Kshiria.
I think the trigger for returning to being a post-war NEET was Degwin’s assassination, so there’s nothing that can be done about being killed…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)11:59

Giren did not intend to abandon Dozul and has not killed Degwin.
It seems that things like this will be discovered in the future and clarified in memoirs.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:50

>>25The former is true, but not the latter.
Since you know I’m here, you’re clearly targeting me.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:57

>>69In the GQ world, it’s already known that Kshyria killed her father.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:59Yeahx1

>>77Why would there be a patricide in the GQ world where the Solar Ray hasn’t been used and it couldn’t even reach Aoba Ward…?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:01

>>80They might try to assassinate me…
Kishiria is definitely after my life too…
You have to strike before you get struck…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:03Yeahx5

>>80You’re getting older, and although you’re younger than Kisyiria, why don’t you get married to the beautiful and big-breasted Cecilia and show us your grandchild?
I was told every day that if I didn’t hurry, Garma would get ahead of me…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07

>>80It seems that Deggin will recognize that Gireen Top is no good…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:13

>>100However, it seems that GQ Girein hasn’t taken over even though the king is dead, so in the end, he hasn’t become the top after all…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:00

This Gihren would probably win even in the canonical world.
After returning to being a NEET in a smooth and fulfilling situation, I feel like I might end my life the moment I envision an ideal image like a money-grubber.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:02Yeahx25

The depiction of the Zabi family gradually becoming more involved in politics in the latter half is really frightening…
It’s a gag manga, isn’t it, Kamo?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:12

>>27The depiction of being a little tired and dozing off is very sad.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:14

>>27It’s tough to see Degin transform from a reliable local guy at the scene into a politician from the area.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:24Yeahx12

>>27The good-natured site supervisor became the union leader and was pushed forward as a candidate for office…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:03

Although they say he’s a NEET, he’s been doing something that resembles studying all this time.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:09Yeahx2

It’s a gag style, but considering the poor reality of the Spacenoids and various other factors, it might have been a plausible prequel.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:11Yeahx14

General McBain, known for his cold-bloodedness, was seen in his later years serving shaved ice to his family and close ones.
Mr. Garma, who returned to Side 3 after 40 years, is said to have cried at the taste.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:13

If the Zabi family wins, the space tenement might be preserved as a historical heritage.
“House of Gihren Zabi and Kycillia Zabi”

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:23Yeahx6

>>32Since it has become public property, we can never go back to that house, that place, and live like we used to.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:15

Ah, despite appearances, Degwin is a second-generation space immigrant in terms of age.
I think my son and daughter were really unrelated to political activities at first.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:16

It was hard to read this and Zaku-san.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:17

When I think about it, is there no other backstory or setting for Degwin before he entered politics supporting Daikun?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:18Yeahx10

>>36I was a university professor in the Origin side story.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:19Yeahx2

>>38Rorishia is cute!!

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:18

Kishiria’s transformation from here to the complete extinction of humanity on Earth is
It was something that was shocking enough for those who knew the time…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:21

No one from my family is left in Kshiriya anymore.
If I had turned back as Garma suggested at that time… it shows a considerable lack of human heart to make me reminisce about it.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:25Yeahx6

Mr. Daikun has collapsed…!

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:26Yeahx3

I was reading it up to a certain point, but is this such a sad story…?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:27

>>44It simply joins the main story and reaches the same conclusion as the main story.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:28

>>44A lower-class human emotion comedy turns into historical facts halfway through.
However, only Garma’s personality remains a downtown human comedy.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:26Yeahx3

Gundam’s idiot Char follows the same route as in the main story, you know.
Even if they do a couple’s comedy act, in the end, Lalah still dies.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:30

>>45Since Lalah is no longer here, it became a situation where I can’t go together, and this is already towards the end of the One Year War for Char.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:26

Let’s live together in a dirty tenement! It’s nice to do it, right?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:27Yeahx3

I somehow remember Garma, alone and surrounded by things in an incredibly luxurious room.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:29Yeahx4

Since Makube quit the shaved ice shop, it reminds me of the sadness during the time of Gesu.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:30Yeahx8

You can read the last part officially.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:39Yeahx3

>>52Couldn’t you at least return to Garma on your own…?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:55Yeahx4

>>58Because I said that I can’t abandon my family by asking Zena to extend the marriage promise.
If everyone is treated equally, the older guys will probably be prioritized in helping out.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:40Yeahx9

>>52I ended up crying…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:06Yeahx5

>>52One of the factors contributing to the misfortune of the Zabi family is, I think, that everyone besides Gihren had the ability to do work as well.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:08Yeahx3

>>95Even though Girelle was a NEET, I understand that he was studying and Dozle was working in the field, but it was Kishiria, who was just helping with housework, being able to do the job that crossed the final line.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:20Yeahx2

>>104Even Garma, after becoming the North American commander, just blends in with the locals and ends up getting a local wife. What’s up with this family?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:12

>>52This person really draws interesting manga.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:31

Before I knew it, everyone except Kysiria was dead, and at the end, Char came with a bazooka ready.
When I turned back at Garma’s voice, there were the peaceful days when we all lived together as a family in harmony, despite our poverty.
That should have been the end of Kycilia.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:32Yeahx9

The eyes of young Casval (kindergartener) during the time when his presumed mother was imprisoned already reflect the resolve of someone determined for revenge.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:32

I have a memory that the story of Garma and Char aiming to become comedians suddenly ended due to lack of popularity.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:41

My mother is reading this from my bookshelf.
Since I’m a NEET too, I often get teased about this manga’s Zabi family.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:43Yeahx2

>>60If you can’t make her your big-breasted mistress, then work.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:45Yeahx20

>>60I dare say it’s trash.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:42

I remember that Gihren died in a more stupid way than in the official history.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:45

Isn’t Daikun a bit too ideological?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:49Yeahx4

>>63Originally strong in ideology.
They were used by those around them for their own purposes and ended up as stepping stones for the Zabi family.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:51Yeahx1

>>63Radical ideas were necessary for the elevation of the status of oppressed space refugees…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:49

The scene where Giren ignores the call from Garma feels empty.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:53

>>66It’s not “old man,” but “Lord Deggin” that I’m calling him…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:49

When I reread it, all of Kshiria’s lines played back in my head with Kaori Nazuka’s voice.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:50Yeahx6

Rather, I have the image of Daikun as a thinker rather than a politician.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:52

>>70Well, politics and philosophy have been inseparable since ancient times.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:55Yeahx9

It’s obvious that politicians who gather votes from port workers are strong.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:58

>>76Because Degwin’s charisma and Gihren’s eloquence came together…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:59

>>79A pinch of Daikun’s thought there.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:58Yeahx4

The Zabi family used to be just politicians and bureaucrats of a colony.
It was an eye-opener.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:08

>>78Is it too late to have a retrospective of Char and Sayla in the Texas Colony?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)12:59Yeahx15

The fact that Garma is the first to die makes Degwin’s persuasive power significant, and that’s troubling.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:02

>>82When I was a child, I thought of it as just the death of a pretentious rich kid enemy character, but it was actually quite a turning point?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:04Yeahx3

>>85I think that’s probably the biggest point in the Universal Century.
If Char hadn’t killed Garma, there’s a strong possibility that Char himself wouldn’t have ended up like that.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:04Yeahx3

>>85The final blow to the Zabi family that causes them to fall apart.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:04

>>82I wonder what I’m doing… I guess that’s how I feel.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:04

>>82The second son who died off-screen…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:01

What will the delayed Japanese-style pepper become?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:03

>>84You can’t complain about that happening, Your Excellency.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:04

This isn’t a current parallel…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:06

>>92I suppose it’s correct to call it a past parod.
I am depicting the Zabi family when they were still an ordinary family (in a Showa style).
…so in the end, I joined the main story.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07Yeahx4

>>96Yeah
You’re annoying!!

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:05

Because Garma is the youngest with a significant age gap…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:06

It’s amazing how all the spin-off series depict Garma as cute.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07Yeahx1

>>94Garma is cute in the main story too!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07

It’s a bit late to say, but Garma and Daguram’s protagonists have very similar positions.
If Garma defects, it will turn into a story like Dougram.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07

What’s going on with this world, Sasuro brother?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:07Yeahx3

>>98In the first place, that exists only in the origin, so it isn’t present.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:08Yeahx2

>>102Wasn’t there a mention of the name even in the novel version?

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:08Yeahx10

Being a NEET surprisingly had high specs, and that’s how I was able to do it; even the main character Amuro is the same…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:09

>>105Amuro is a student, right!?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:08Yeahx4

I didn’t dislike this author, but before I knew it, Masaharu had become a manga artist, and it’s sad.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:11

>>107I see…
Did I go crazy from continuing to draw nonsense…?

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:09

The Zabi family is simply second or third generation immigrants, just stained by aristocratic tastes.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:10

>>108It’s a subtly ridiculous scene when they casually refer to themselves as royalty.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:10

There was also a comedy duo featuring Char and Garma, but was that a parody on a different axis?

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:14Yeahx2

>>110Separate axis
However, in the end, it merges with historical facts.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:13

Well, if that’s the case, then Char is just a damn bastard who killed Garma out of misguided revenge, isn’t he?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:14

>>117In the main story, the possibility of Jinba’s delusion was mentioned.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:16

>>117To delve deeper, it was Char who took action, but it feels like it was… the ones who cornered him until that point.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:17

>>128Isn’t it the Zabi family?
The depiction of Origin is just a story about Origin itself.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:14Yeahx5

The street speech part is still somewhat comical, but the behind-the-scenes maneuvering to bring Daikun to the position of Prime Minister has completely turned into the main story’s version of Gihren, and it’s scary how much this former NEET resembles him.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:18Yeahx5

>>119The real job, being a Daikun, is more terrifying…
I’m scared of the irreversible feeling that has arisen since I started calling my dad “Lord Degwin.”

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:20Yeahx1

>>131The ability to place Daikun as prime minister through groundwork and the magic of numbers is too strong…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:21Yeahx7

>>134It’s not something a gag manga’s NEET would do to lower the threshold for a majority by casting invalid votes.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:26Yeahx1

>>138Well, this NEET’s reasoning is the strongest.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:15

It’s amazing that Gundam is being revived from the latest Gundam due to the strong influence of the Zabi family.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:15

>>122It’s like one of the worlds that GQ Lalah sought, that couple’s comedy act.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:15

It’s Hitler’s tail…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:15

Even if it’s a historical manga, as long as it’s based on actual events, I don’t think it imposes the author’s extreme ideas… right?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:22

>>124There are people here who make judgments about others just for creating something related to politics…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:15

There’s only Deggin! Please help the old man from Zeon!

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:16

Political manga is interesting as a story, but I also understand that it can be selective in terms of audience because it is political manga.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:18

Was it the one where I suddenly awakened as a parliamentary secretary and went “Huh!?”…

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:18Yeahx1

>>130The original source’s beard was like that too…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:18

Masaharu (strong ideology) manga
A manga featuring Masaharu.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:20

Kakuei’s life seems to be suited for a story, after all.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:21

I regret not reading it because I thought it was just a silly gag manga.
This is interesting.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:24Yeahx1

>>137I recommend something like “The Men Who Created Gundam” that has been compiled into a standalone book.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:22

It’s a parody manga, but in a way, it’s a compilation of alternate universe stories from the Universal Century…

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:23

You said it was a gag manga!
You said it was a gag manga!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/14(Sat)13:26

Basically, it’s a parody gag manga, but it sometimes has things like this mixed in, right?
Actually, I haven’t read it in a while, but there are now 21 volumes out…
