패밀리 레스토랑 가자. 上

by Yama Wayama, 와야마 야마

2년 전 와야마 야마 신드롬을 일으킨 『가라오케 가자!』. 출간 직후 종합 베스트셀러 1위는 물론, 탄탄한 팬덤이 생길 만큼 화제가 되었던 작품이다. 끔찍한 벌칙이 걸린 가라오케 대회를 위해 의기투합했던 야쿠자 쿄지와 독설 노래 선생 사토미의 뒷이야기를 궁금해하고, 오매불망 기다려왔던 독자들에게 새로운 이야기가 도착했다.

대학생이 된 사토미는 상경 후 홀로 자취를 시작한다. 그런데 이 어린 청년, 근검절약이 심상치 않다. 우연한 계기로 심야의 페밀리 레스토랑 아르바이트를 시작한 사토미는 돈을 모으고 새로운 사람들을 만나며 도쿄에서의 생활을 이어간다. 수상한 만화가 2인조가 레스토랑에서 죽을 치고 만화 애호가이자 선배 아르바이트생인 모리타가 2초 이상 쉬지 않고 말을 걸어오는 가운데, 가장 낯익지만 가장 수상한 남자가 사토미에게 접근한다.

I just can't...He is so helplessly infatuated with this man. I fucking knew it.
And now somehow I'm supposed to survive until vol2 comes out.

啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊。太好看了🥹前187页都像是悬疑小说很烧脑，人物之间很多线慢慢串联起来。但是和山やま老师画的人都差不多所以难免脸盲😂然而最后三页突然的致命一击！真的awsl。画的一如既往的好。关西腔太好笑了。名叫麗子的小黑猫！

Ok so now Satomi is in college and he’s still hanging out with that Yakuza guy (Kyouji) who forced him into hanging out with him in middle school. They go out to eat at a lot of restaurants. Satomi and Kyouji both realize the weirdness of the situation so they just start lying to people that they are each other’s nephew/uncle/son/dad. It’s so weird. I’m obsessed with it.
There’s multiple other characters introduced: the mangaka and his assistant, the lady in the apartment below Satomi, Satomi’s manga obsessed coworker, the mysterious manga editor that people on Twitter believe to be Kyouji’s REAL nephew, a blackmailing journalist, and Satomi’s two friends. The genius thing about this story is that every character is somehow connected to the main story (even if we don’t know how yet). The mangaka is the yakuza boss’ estranged son. The lady living below Satomi works at Kyouji’s bar and also is a missing mangaka that the mysterious editor is looking for. It’s SO CONFUSING but SO FUN! TRUST ME! The author incudes a helpful chart of connections after a while LOL.

Anyway, the main story is, of course, about Satomi and Kyouji. Satomi is in love with Kyouji. Kyouji may or may not know this, I really can’t tell. He also may or may not like Satomi back. At the beginning, I was pretty adamant that this was a one sided thing on Satomi’s side. But now I’m starting to second guess myself. The problem with that man is that he shows no emotion at all which leaves Satomi and the reader questioning every comment he makes. TELL US WHAT YOU WANT!

My heart broke a little when Satomi asked him to quit his job and Kyouji told him he wouldn’t quit as long as his boss was alive. Then, of course, in this author’s typical fashion, I laughed out loud when Satomi got up to process that info, went to the bathroom, came back, sat down, and said “when will your boss die”.

I have spent way too long thinking about this story but whatever YES it is extremely weird and borderline uncomfortable that these people with a 20 year age gap are having a will they/wont they thing but it works for them I’m sorry IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! If I heard about this in real life I would be like “HE’S A VICTIM!!!!!” But in this story I just want them to be happy :(

3 stars.

Hmm, it has its subtle moments that I appreciate, but I'm not sure yet where the author wants to take the story. It's still the first volume, though.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't get it. But I'm still curious.
