Two chapters. And now there's one more release till the end of the volume. Oops.
But yeah, you pretty much have to read this one.

BOYS ON THE RUN, by Kengo Hanazawa (ch70-80)
Merry Christmas from Robin and myself. This one goes out to anyone who could do with a little more under their tree.
LAME JAPAN
(I wrote this while I was still in Japan. I’m not sure if I ever believed it, but maybe it’ll amuse somebody.)
I don’t hear much about Cool Japan these days, the effort to market Japan as a cultural superpower. Maybe it failed. But I haven’t heard anyone make the claim that it was doomed from the very start. It was. “Cool Japan”, two words that just don’t go together. The term itself is fundamentally oxymoronic. That sentence should prove that when it comes to uncool, I know what I’m talking about.
Let’s face it, Japan is one of the lamest countries on earth. Shall we count the ways?
BOYS ON THE RUN, by Kengo Hanazawa (ch68-69)
First date time, get your warm and fuzzies on.
Hanazawa writes such good dates that it's a shame most of his stories are about people who have little to no interaction with others.
BOYS ON THE RUN by Kengo Hanazawa, ch66-67
We're starting volume seven! I like chapters where characters ride around on trains.
ANOTHER CORRECTION
Oh dear, this one definitely requires the two storey grovel.
The character RYO ANDO in BOYS ON THE RUN is actually named RYU ANDO. Yes, that Ryu, the one that means dragon.
