When I was in elementary school, “Moonlight Mask” was my favorite book. What manga do he recommend about the Showa era?
Celeina: This song has a very retro feel to it, but it is a recent song, right?
Nakano: Yes, it’s a song from 2018.
Celeina：Where did you come across it?
Nakano：My friend Sango Tsubaki, who plays drums in a band called “Rokuyobi,” played this song in the car when I went to Osaka, and I was hooked on what a great song it was.
Celeina: And every Tuesday, we have “ACG Tuesday,” where we delve into the anime, comics, and games of ACG. What kind of manga do you like?
Nakano:I am not that familiar with manga, but when I was in elementary school, I used to read the reprinted edition of “Moonlight Mask.
Takano: Wait a minute (haha). I’ll ask you one more time. How old are you now?
Nakano: I turned 20 this year.
Celeina: So you were born in 2003 (haha).
Takano: Nakano-san, do you also read manga with old gadgets?
Nakano:Yes, I do. I read a manga titled “HIGH POSITION” which uses the very name of a cassette tape, in which a 46-year-old man falls and hits his head and travels back in time to his body of 40 years ago, only with his memories, to redo his youth. It’s a manga with Sony Walkmans and conversations like, “VMW was the Corolla of Roppongi, wasn’t it?
Takano: So, Mr. Nakano, you read from the perspective of seeing and enjoying old gadgets?
Nakano:That’s a lot of it. I also see the whimsical Orange Road-style illustrations in them, and I think, “Oh, that’s interesting.
Takano: Isn’t that the way people who knew those days talked?
Nakano: No, I don’t know anything about it. (haha)
