Ike Inachu Takyubu

STORY

This is a gag cartoon with a focus on the men table tennis club of ‘Inachu’, Inatoyo Junior High School.
Maeno who likes indecent and meaningless things, is one of the main characters and he only quibbles dough, and is a problem boy.
Izawa is the best friend of Maeno, and is also a perverse.
He always hung out with Maeno and shows unprecedented personality, but he also has common sense aspect sometimes.
Tanaka seems small and pretty at the first time, but is also a perverse.
He goes his own way and shocks around by his odd behavior.
Tanabe is half, who has kind personality, but nobody can expect what will happen once he gets mad.
Despite that he extremely smells, nobody can tell him it because they are scared.
Including the captain Takeda and sub captain Kinoshita, the table tennis club’s daily life is comically drawn in this cartoon.

COMMENT by Shun

This is one of the best 10 gag cartoons that have ever built in this age.
Others are ‘Obocchama-kun,’ the super rich boy, and ‘Sugoiyo! Masaru-san,’ a monumental work of surreal cartoon, and so on.
Will introduce you them someday.
Centering on the table tennis club at Toyonaka junior high school, the story of Inachu goes with the unconventional gags.
Definitely, you laugh about it without notice.
While there were too many dirty jokes, drawing and the gags awake from the middle.
Especially the female characters are cute, while the ugly ones are thoroughly ugly.
My favorite story is ‘Play Woman’ that are likely to exist in the real world, and that’s why it make me laugh.
That is that Maeno and Izawa feel strange to ugly women who learn self-defense tactics.
But I won’t explain about it because it is fool to explain a gag cartoon by sentences.
Anyways, you can read the comics many times.
Regardless that I remember the story of the comics, that still makes me laugh when I think of it, and I repeatedly pull them out from the shelf for the laugh.
