| Poor Yutaro, one second he was regular teenager, second later he became 30 years old "adult" who was catalyst for completely changing how society works in Japan... I dunno how I would handle this shit. honestly it is really fucked up situation... wonder if we will see corruption, like people who shouldn't be "adults" but are thanks to money and connections, giving away "adulthood"/"credits" for some "benefits", deranking/silencing people who are too good to be "adults". Overall beyond ridiculous but interesting premise so I hope author will not go to pure absurdity to the point of comedy/parody or make it boring to read. As far prediction, I think Yutaro will try to achieve true/number one "adult" status and abolish this system. I will personally only add that authors would be really smart if they show that many citizens are trying to escape Japan creating super strong demographic crisis but people are too afraid to said this. |

| Oh wow... this one is so interesting!!! Very unique premise, I really wonder how the next chapters play out. Truman Show The Manga lol Poor Taro, let's hope girl wasn't watching the stream when he had wet dreams about her XD |
| So here I am ready to read a drama, and I’ve been thrown into a dystopian version of Japan that has a guy in a 15 year coma to blame for a totally screwed society in which nobody can live without walking on eggshells. I didn’t see that one coming… that was a crazy twist! I knew there was something up with that politician dude’s soulless eyes. I’m guessing this story is gonna be a take on our society today, considering people record and stream everything now to the point where scrolling on TikTok is as important as water and air. Absolutely love the story and art style, I’m 100% here for this rollercoaster. I hope the author gets to write the full story without it being axed. |

Rexnihilo said: Ok very interesting start. It's the Truman show but in Japan. The Taro show? also it's everyone being observed not just him right? Would that black mirror epiosde be better comaprison? Definitely one of the stronger starts I've seen recently. Love the whole premise the art the characters everything so far. Really excited to see the next chapter. So ranked adult hood along with constant surveillance everywhere. 20 million cameras in Tokyo that's like 20x what Beijing has right now. There's no privacy but I'm sure there's probably a blind spot. I wonder if even bathrooms are a given filled with cameras? Or at least you can get some privacy in there. Dystopia is one of my favorite genres but I haven't read too many mangas with that theme. Yutaro is currently ranked Adult 6 and the next is tier 5 which gives the right to vote. I wonder if there's more rights withhold in this society? Also would doing it with someone that's not like a certain ranked adult count as doing something illegal with a minor? Like even that lady Misato whatever was hoping to be a proper adult right? so would she count as underaged? Age is just a number here so would a higher ranked 17 year old be legal but an older lower ranked adult be illegal? I wonder if there's any goofy cases like a 9 year old being an adult higher ranked than their parents or something Also while Truck kun failed to isekai him and the cat he's still kinda got isekai'd into a Dystopian world. Those are a lot of questions that I have too. Do people get access to watching other people shit? What about doing it? Not just age but can we turn the cameras off for that, or does Garden also stream everyone’s adult activities? What if I’m entering passwords or doing banking on my PC, can people just access all of that, or do electronic screens get blurred or filtered out? We know that adults get rights based on tiers, but what punishment do non-adults get for illegal activity? What is considered illegal too? Is minor stuff like swearing or slightly upsetting someone gonna get someone’s rank lowered, or worse? I absolutely love dystopian stories, it’s my favorite genre/sub-genre so I’m really excited for this one. I hope MC breaks the mold and goes full delinquent mode against the system! |

Rexnihilo said: @GoCrayzee true everyone can just watch you enter in passwords and stuff. I wonder also could people from other countries watch as well? Like oh you want to know what Nintendo is developing? just go watch them. I wonder also could you just go and physically remove the cameras in your room or whatever? or will there be a punishment for that? Also like anyone can watch anyone so Could you watch someone watching you? And plus, maybe other countries have begun to adopt the same system? I wonder too if the highest tier adults can do something like murder without being arrested and just get demoted to a lower rank? Finding a blind spot wouldn’t be that challenging because you could just turn on your own stream and watch yourself to find a spot where you vanish. But with 20 mil cameras I bet only the most obscure countryside areas would be out of sight |
