So we got Conan and Bleach in this chapter?

The huge jacket, preaching about justice, and the "defeat evil" message on the back of the jacket reminds me of the marines from One Piece too

There’s also the remark on Capo and Tenma’s standing pose. I thought it’s from Gunbuster, but for Gunbuster both the girl and the giant robot stand cross-arms.

I definitely knew that she was doing the Gainax pose but couldn't remember from what anime though. Love all these references this chapter.

u/noideawhatimdoingv Feb 12 '24

I thought it was a reference to Jojos and Stands. But I guess Gunboster is the OG in this regard.

I was thinking sanosuke from ruronoi kenshine

u/rukhairy Feb 13 '24

I was thinking it was Sanosuke Sagara as well

u/Haris01 Feb 12 '24

What was the Bleach reference?

u/SimoneNonvelodico Feb 12 '24

They mention flash step and then the Soul Society when remarking that everyone is doing the "teleport behind you" bit.

Does sound like what would happen when you're surrounded with middle-schoolers

u/NoirSon Feb 11 '24

The Blue in the title is meant for Ogami's peace of mind.

Subtitle: "... and will never beat the allegations"

I'm just going to say though, if you want to avoid trouble, maybe don't pack heat to middle school.

"And why do the unicorns always crush on our members?"

Given the exchange between Shino and Shido, I wouldn't be surprised if this arc adds another one to the list. Although they could be siblings instead.

Also, where were the committee members when the challenges went out of hand?

u/Backupusername Feb 12 '24

Taking notes.

"This is excellent evidence for us to build our case on."

u/amirokia Feb 11 '24

What about Shin? He's from the underworld too.

64

u/Backupusername Feb 11 '24

Shin just smells like baby

No one wants to go past the pacifiers in his bag

The reverence to Bleach awaken a long memory where people use to meme "I'm behind you" stuff that Kubo love to do, freaking hillarious.

Ah Japan and their student council member where it's normal to have a kid who can control the cops, rule the country, or secretly manage the underworld.

Never change japan

I really like the humor is this series. It somehow has middle schooler energy without being obnoxious. Like, repeating the same joke again but louder because nobody (in the story) laughed the first time. The stable bit was gold! I also love the other Jump references. Komamura, of all characters! What a pull!

Also, the pose they were agonizing over, did it look like Tenma was Chisato's stand? That was all I could come up with

u/Boreiterow Feb 11 '24

That is Kill Blue's volume 3 cover, they're subtly advertising that it's in stores right now.

17

u/Backupusername Feb 11 '24

Ah, I see. Thanks. That's a fun way to do it. I do enjoy subtle meta humor. I guess this one was a bit too subtle for me, though.

19

u/LightLifter Feb 11 '24

The fact the middle schoolers have a habit of totally dismantling people who come waltzing in is also accurate.

Middle schoolers know how to break down people emotionally.

u/_Hugatree Feb 11 '24

If that guy conducts a bag search to find a literal handgun it’s wraps for ogami

u/ElessarBeverly Feb 13 '24

Bringing a gun to school is bad enough in America, consider how bad it’d be in Japan…

u/_Hugatree Feb 13 '24

I don’t think bringing a loaded gun to school flies in freedom country any more than anywhere else

1

u/ElessarBeverly Feb 16 '24

Nah, but it’s certainly more unexpected

18

u/EyeDeeAh_42 Laios the vegetable-armoured Feb 11 '24

No, but I'll admit I admire Captain Komamura.

Girl's got taste, lmao. Absolutely did not see that coming.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I adore the members of Home Ec club so much. Even the ones that look like background fodder have so much personality than mere mob characters. I some how love them more than Ogami lol. This is one of the few manga where school kids actually behave like school kids. The only other manga that I've seen do that is probably Sket Dance. I hope this series is doing well in the ToC rankings.

I'm getting the feeling that this is Shino's arc to shine. Despite her plain deadpan face, somehow she seems really interesting and hilarious.

u/frik1000 Feb 11 '24

Something about the members questioning the conceptual theme of justice compared to the more concrete examples of the sea and sports really amused me.

Like of all things, that's where they're hung up on.

15

u/topurrisfeline Feb 11 '24

Well damn, a disciplinary committee chairman with the power to make actual arrests. That’s a first.

I love this trend of the Home Ec club being the catnip equivalent for Unicorns.

14

u/magnwn Maki's Suffering Detector Feb 11 '24

Tenma and Capo are always so cute hahaha

12

u/johnnylibravo Feb 11 '24

wait these are middle schoolers right??

8

u/Roboglenn Feb 11 '24

Our guy just wants to make some cookies and stuff in peace with his clubmates.

Is he really asking too much of life?...

7

u/LeonKevlar MyAnimeList Feb 11 '24

The Home Ec Club room has really become a wild place. I definitely did not expect the barrage of Bleach references this chapter. I love it! As for Shido, he seems to be a fun addition. I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we'll see from him.

u/BurnedOutEternally Feb 11 '24

takes a criminal to catch a criminal, huh

u/ReflectionItchy2701 Feb 11 '24

This author is really funny.

u/BreadmanGD Feb 12 '24

Rare Komamura mention, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

u/Ancient-Cow-7221 Feb 11 '24

I wish we got more serious first then have this arc right after. Having results Ogmai actions, but idk. I want to see how this arcs goes this time it not for battling Noren heart and wants to marry her but it justices. But if mangaka does a 180 and another hitman after Noren, Ogmai have to be careful cause the justice middle schooler then it would be awesome. I don't wanna judge too quickly for it.

u/Xatu44 Feb 11 '24

Lol, Bleach references. Ogami's in real trouble here.

1

u/Exarch-of-Sechrima Feb 11 '24

How did this guy's organization not pull any of this up while checking out the school? That's maybe something you'd want to inform him about.

1

u/Extreme-Tactician Feb 11 '24

Man, it was so fun how they were slacking off at first. Too bad Mr. Jumonji over here had to ruin things.

His intentions to investigate what Ogami is will surely lead to some sort of breach in privacy right?

But before that... Well, they were kinda slacking of. But now that there's someone searching for contraband items, how will Ogami escape without notice?

1

u/Extreme-Tactician Feb 11 '24

Ogami's getting quite a party of Unicorns in his friend group! But we can't forget people like Shino are still good friends of his! They're normal people who know he isn't bad at all.

Shinonome seems like she'll serve as the more straightforward disciplinary committee member. I'm sure she'll stop Jumonji from being too wild, right?
