[KochiKame] The store clerk’s checkout speed is so psychic it’s crazy lol.

Otaku Review Image

It’s a coin for change! Huh? What’s that pile of coins? It’s a job that races against time. A passenger has arrived! Step back! Wow! Giant God Kanto Sports Asahi Sports Nikkan Delhi and Hop! Golden and Sports and Band! ✋!! Just by holding the goods, it’s impressive that I get out first…!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:35

Are you predicting how much the other person will give based on when you hold out the merchandise and receive change?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:37Yeahx4

>>1If the other party hasn’t played a card, isn’t it possible to calculate the remainder?
If they hand it over perfectly, then you can just pull back.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:41

>>1Because I’m a professional

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:40Yeahx27

It’s amazing that there are people like this in real life too.
You realize that humans can be optimized to this extent.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:38

>>3Since it’s flowing to match the speed of line workers and optimized people, I can’t keep up at all when I’m not used to it.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:38

>>3It’s been a while, but there was a lady at the workplace cafeteria who was incredibly fast at handling the accounts.
They were a monster who could handle the checkout line alone even during the daytime rush hour.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:41

I wondered what Golden Bat was, thinking it might be a snack, but it’s tobacco.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:13Yeahx1

>>5It’s a class of cigarettes like Wakaba and Echo.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:43

If you only have ten-thousand yen bills, it might feel awkward…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:46Yeahx21

>>6Someone who shops with a ten-thousand yen bill wouldn’t buy a newspaper at the station kiosk.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:43Yeahx8

It’s amazing how it looks like the hands are moving really fast, even though there aren’t many effects.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:45Yeahx21

Isn’t the middle panel illustration really amazing?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:45Yeahx9

Maybe the customers only come if they’re familiar with it, so they probably bring a certain amount of money with them.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:58Yeahx13

>>9It’s probably the customers who are in a hurry for time…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:45Yeahx14

This is also a sign of the times, isn’t it?
I think KochiKame is valuable as a resource for everyday life in the Showa era.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:45

It’s not related to the story, but doesn’t Ryo-san’s eyebrows look thicker than usual in the last panel?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:45

I love the episodes where the convenience store manager has figured out my behavior pattern.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:47

If something like this happens, first-time customers will be even more scared than at Jiro.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:48Yeahx3

The episodes in Kochikame where Ryo-san is overwhelmed by a character are usually interesting.The female police officer is not very…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:48

It turned out like this for someone who adds subtitles to the TV in real time.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:50

The NewDays staff are amazing.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:54Yeahx1

The intensity of the customers and the speed at which it’s being handled are both expressed in the sixth panel, which is amazing.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:54

Since the switch to ETC, they’ve disappeared, but the highway toll booths were surprisingly fast, almost like they were psychics.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:54Yeahx5

It’s often overlooked, but Kochikame’s manga has been really well-drawn since the early days, right?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:28

>>20As expected, it’s reliant on the assistant, but the detail in the background is so exquisite that it hardly seems like it comes from a weekly publication.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:56

There were also scenes of a small folding sales corner set up only during rush hours, selling newspapers on the platform.
Until about 10 years ago, I was barely surviving.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)17:58Yeahx6

Nowadays, the number of people reading newspapers on the train has decreased.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:03

>>23Twenty to thirty years ago, train luggage racks were…
The read comic magazines and newspapers were piled up.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:01

Sports newspapers and magazines were fulfilling the demand that is now met by the internet and social media.
Everyone from young people to middle-aged individuals was eagerly buying it.
It must have been amazing during rush hour when everyone came to buy.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:02

Unlike the end, there’s no sense of incongruity with the mob’s art style.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:09

If there are people reading newspapers on the train.
I’ve come to only think that it’s annoying and bothersome.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:19

>>27If you’re buying it almost every day, an electronic subscription is fine.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:18

It’s nice to read it skillfully folded thin.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:20

It was an era when there weren’t many convenience stores.
At the time of the thread image

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:24

Was there a story about Ryo-san and Nakagawa collecting newspapers and magazines left behind on the train’s overhead rack and selling them?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:55

>>32The Jump magazine on the Shinkansen’s overhead rack was available earlier than in my hometown, so my classmate was selling it.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:28

These days, when you see a salaryman in a suit reading Jump on the train, it’s treated as if he’s too old for that…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:28

It’s impressive in a way, but there was an episode where the rental video store manager completely understands the customers’ patterns.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:47

>>35It’s problematic because I can generally understand when they are assigning strange ranks like “sergeant” or “sir” to guests.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:39

Tanaka, who was hilarious, said on the radio that he was able to do this when he was working part-time at a convenience store.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:41

I remember seeing a webm of an aloe factory here before, where the person peeling the aloe was incredibly fast, and that left a strong impression on me.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:42

This isn’t the density of a weekly serialization…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:44Yeahx3

I think the peak of Kochikame is around volumes 30 to 90.
The peak period is too long.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:46

Do salarymen really want to read sports newspapers that much?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:48Yeahx1

>>42At that time, there weren’t even mobile phones, let alone smartphones.
If you want real-time information, you can only rely on television or newspapers.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:48

>>42At that time, it was a complete nutritious food that could cover areas of entertainment and topics different from now, including adult content, baseball, sumo, horse racing, and gossip.
If you read it for now, you can keep up with the topics of the day and it can also be a source for sales talk.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:48

I don’t see things like this at kiosks anymore.
Even electronic money is slow.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:49

At the level of the actual thread picture, it seems like electronic payment would be much slower.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:50

I really like the shocked expression on Ryo-san’s face in the lower left.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:51

Was it like the episode where the candy store lady looks for a job?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:52

Can the candy store lady keep up with this speed?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:53

Is it a Newtype?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:54

The scene of ultra-fast ticket scissors at the ticket gate is no longer present now.
I belong to a generation that just barely experienced it.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)18:55

When I watch record footage from the Showa era, I see men and women handling things at an incredible speed.
A huge number of old men are gathered around the shop.
