The birds, the rock, the clerk. Everyone's so proper. They’re incredible. However, I'm sure being proper all the time tires even roads and electric poles... Being a mess every now and then might not be so bad.
A very nice chapter, once again stuff we saw on twitter before, like Shimeji in pajamas and Shimeji going for a walk with her effay outfit and cute fish purse. I guess we overthought it with the speculation on where Shimeji might go to (be on the run), instead she just went for a walk. My memory might be faulty, but I feel like we've never seen the hetererochromia hat girl, I wonder if we'll see her again. Could her fixing maybe be related to the distortions? Also the whole world once again seems to be odd, almost no people, weird dead ends, the electrical poles, stone cat, hopefully this'll lead to something in the future. Also it's nice to see Yuu again, I wonder what Chii is up to on her own.
I love how this manga focuses so heavily on Tkmiz's favourite imagery. It almost feels indulgent at times. The electrical poles that all led to each other for instance.

I know what you mean, I like it too, it makes the manga feel very personal, one sign of this for me is how (s)he often draws something and posts it on twitter before it makes into the manga.

I'm really coming to appreciate this art style. The simplistic, rough, "low quality" look really works well with this story and that of SSR. It has a raw beauty about it that really amplifies the depressing atmosphere.

This is just a reminder that Yea Forums sings is doing (among other things) the SSR ED, so it would be nice if you could participate.
I though I was going to have time this week, but between a lot of appointments and tasks I had to complete, I couldn't work in the reloading and shooting. I've been really slacking with this, even though I shouldn't and I'm not sure about whether I should do it now, or later in November which is my anniversary with Yuuri. A week ago.
Seems like you lead a pretty busy life, I'd say, just wait until you have the time and then do it, don't set a specific date, if you don't know wheter or not you can do it on that date.
I wonder how come for the past month tkmiz threads haven't been as lively as before, we used to always hit the bump limit. Did all the anons talking about group suicide actually do it? I'm going to sleep now, if by the time I wake up, the thread is dead, I'll be sad.
People tend to post about both series in the same threads, though. I think we were just having the threads too frequently. tkmiz is laying the groundwork for a lot of what's to come right now, but there's only so much to talk about until some of the plot lines become more concrete.
The board has also been a little faster for the past 2 weeks or so (especially in the last week due to the kyoani incident), so it's been hard for the threads to stay up long enough for people to notice them.
Upon a quick scan of the mega, I couldn't find any existing illustrations of the new character from the latest chapter. The pole she is carrying may be a "sasumata", which was a weapon used by samurai to detain criminals. Modernized versions are apparently used by police in Japan, and sometimes for animal control (maybe this is one of the reasons Shimeji asked her if she was a cop).
tkmiz may have posted a new illustration of her on twitter today, since this image also has the poles. But this character's eyes are both the same color, whereas the girl in the chapter's eyes were very conspicuously different (and the twitter pic is missing the hat). Either way, her appearance is pretty peculiar, so it seems almost certain that she's not a one-off character.
Yeah, tkmiz has posted a few of these on twitter recently (also including ).
This one comes with that authentic tkmiz-brand despair, as you can see the words "sonna koto ha nai" ("that sort of thing doesn't exist") written over and over again on one of the other sheets of paper.
The "her"s in my post were referring to the pointy-hat kid from the chapter if that wasn't clear. I guess it's possible that the character is just a long-haired boy, but prominent male characters seem somewhat rare in tkmiz's work, so I assumed it was a girl.
Not that I have seen. It seems like there would be a lot of competition for them though, because all of the responses on twitter were from people saying they wanted to buy them.

Hello friends, Orchesc/a/ns fag here. Expect typeset within the next week (and hopefully not late like last time)

Looking at the K-ON manga as reference there's like 13-15 chapters per volume there so we still have at least 6 more chapters/months until the first volume will be out or close to being out. Then gotta wait for it to be licensed. If it will be.
Matthew Baker
At least tkmz image posts will be backed up.

It seems like tkmiz is building up too much of an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue for it to just be a surreal story where nothing is ever explored any deeper. But there aren't many definite leads on what the head-objects are.
They do seem to be a specific thing, though, because Majime recognizes Shimeji's mushroom as being the same type of thing as her egg in chapter 1. Some have speculated that the objects are some sort of physical representation of the characters' minds/mental states. For example, their art teacher also has one (a beer can) that only seems to manifest when she is at ease and being her normal self, but it disappears whenever she's working.
People do post both, true, but someone who read/watched SSR, but doesn't know SS, probably won't come to a SS thread. I think SSR would probably be a better reference for this than K-ON, SSR had 8 chapters per volume, so it might not be that long until vol1, though obviously english releases tend to release months after the japanese ones.
In SS we've never seen her in school. In the tkmiz chapter from the SSR anthalogy comic, she's in university, but I wouldn't consider that as canon for SS.
I don't even know what it's about, but I'm gonna buy it once it's out on kindle.

Okay, looked it up a bit. Turns out it's a reprint of a 2016 novel, "Hito no Machi" ("City of Man") by Youji Yomisaka.
>ここにはかつて「世界」があった。各地に点在する遺された町は、それぞれ独自の意匠を持ち、かろうじて生き存(ながら)えてきた。そして、ここに一人の旅人がある。彼女は旅先で、己の意志とは無関係に、様々な不思議と出会う。やがてそれは一つの大きな像となり、この世の真実を描き出してゆく。本書(ここ)では一体、何が起こっているのか? The synopsis says it's about a girl traveling around a ruined city (possibly post-apocalyptic), with the stuff she sees there eventually clicking together and telling you what actually happened.
Makes sense why they had tkmiz make the cover now.
Connor Jackson
Shimeji chapters are shorter than SSR chapters on average I'm pretty sure. I was using K-ON as an example because it's also a 4koma and I think has a similar page count per chapter as Shimeji. SSR chapters were around 18-20 pages per chapter while Shimeji chapters are more like 11 pages. If there were only 8 chapters per volume it would only be 88 or 90 pages, which isn't enough for a volume.
Ayden Morales
If it had the same publisher as ssr could it have some references?
Jaxson Mitchell
For reference, Kuro had around 11 4-koma chapter per volume, with 12 pages per chapter. I think it's pretty safe to assume Shimeji will have around 11-12 chapters.
They did have the same publisher, Shinchosha, but I dunno about references.

Leo Campbell
I guess you're right, SS chapters are on average about 8-9 pages shorter, so it would make sense for the SS volumes to come out with more chapters than SSR, oh well I guess we'll just have to wait a while longer until vol1. Do you think tkmiz will do a bonus chapter for the volumes, like with SSR?
>Girl with the X introduced in chapter 9 massive normie and a drama queen, she constantly starts shit, Shimeji doesn't want to eat lunch with her, but Egg convinces her to do so anyway, in the end of SS we find out she's one of the lizard people >Plant girl introduced in chapter 12 super chill, gets along well with everyone, after the Nuclear war arc she's the only one of the old crew that surives and she starts a drug cartel, but they're all cute girls and they never hurt anyone >Twintails book introduced in chapter 37 literally mute, sensei's younger sister, a massive nerd and bookworm, very sad and lonely, Shimeji becomes her first friend other than sensei and that makes her appreciate life, her story arc climaxes at the end of Part 3 Psilocybe Crusaders where she sacrifices herself to stop the Simulation from starting a Windows 10 Update which would indefinitely shut down the simulation Don't tell tkmiz-senpai I spilled the beans otherwise he won't let me out of the sex dungeon for another month, ok guys?
Looking at this picture makes me feel very happy for some reason. Post a tkmiz drawing that makes you feel happy instead of sad please. And no, happy because it relates to you killing yourself does not count.
I'm loving Egg's positive energy in SS, I hope she'll be in the next chapter. I think it would be funny to see Egg and Yuu interact, they're both such lovely goofballs.
I just love beating off I've bee doing it so long that the instant gratification I get from it has ingrained itself in my psyche or whatever it's called Longest I've gone without fapping was 2 weeks when I was 13

Considering her strange comments and seemingly out-of-place appearance, she certainly could turn out to be a catgirl (concealing ears) or an oni (concealing horns) or something like that. tkmiz used similar hat bumps in an image of chito as a catgirl. She's definitely not a normal person at the very least. She possibly has some connection to the phenomena that Shimeji's sister is researching as mentioned.
I looked through the mega for the new character earlier, but I was just mostly just looking for the hat. I'll look through it again to see if there are any similar-looking characters with heterochromia and/or cat ears.
The question you should be asking is: what is that squid gonna do with her?
Jonathan Thompson
squid kid?
Matthew Wilson

Thomas Diaz
I couldn't find anything that totally matches in the mega (this picture is the closest I could find, but the character looks a lot older than the girl in this month's issue). However, catgirls are a very common motif in tkmiz's twitter art, so it wouldn't be weird for a catgirl to appear, given how surreal SS is.
>flip-flopping between almost going through with the plan I made to off myself using LostAllHope and random existential dread of death stopping me I hate my brain.
This cathgirl doesn't have heterochromia, but her eyes are both in a different style so heterostylia
Christopher Martinez
I will never forget, not until the day I die, or you eat the fish, guess we'll just have to see which one comes first! I'm not angry at you, I feel bad for you, how can you fully enjoy tkmiz's art, if you haven't experienced fish, user-kun ?
Brayden Edwards
As complete as I can get it to be, if you know of any art that isn't there and you have it, please link it here in the threads and I'll add it!
Ayden Morris
She did say that, she also said other very interesting things that could be connected to SS!
So I just reread the SSR chapter "Oblivion" - the one with AI-chan, and now I feel stupid for not remembering it, I'd be willing to bet Shimeji Simulation is a simulation made by AI-chan to pass the time, the taters appear in SS, since she met them. Now that AI-chan got to die, that might be what is causing the distortions inside SS, or maybe time inside SS is slowed down compared to the real world of SSR, and this is all happening while the taters are visiting and the end of SS will be the destruction of the whole simulation alongside AI-chan. Head objects explained: pic related. I'd say it works for the SS head objects as well
What if poetry in binary means computer code- a simulation, huh ? The heterochromia girl inside SS chapter 7 could be a servant/manifestation of AI-chan making sure everyting works inside her creation.
>I listen to both sides and guide them kind of like how heterochromia girl guided Shimeji in ch7, huh ?
I don't know, is this far fetched, or could this be it guys ? I think the whole "I'm glad I died" "but you didn't" was a hint by tkmiz that SS isn't the afterlife, and given that SSR was a literal title, I think it is fair to assume SS is a literal title as well ,meaning the whole thing is a simulation. Since the taters appear there is a high probability it is linked with SSR. If SS is a simulation linked with SSR, this AI-chan thing seems like the most likely explanation to me. There is also the possibility that it's linked to something we have't seen yet and maybe the most likely possibility that SS will never be explained and it's just meant to be mysterious.
Though if you think about it, if SS is a simulation made by AI-chan, i.e. AI-chan is a sort of god for SS, and AI-chan is dead "God is dead", that would fit in pretty well with the depressing style of tkmiz.
This could actually make a lot of sense, especially since the head-objects seem to correspond to the individual's condition (ex. Egg's egg getting runny when she gets sick)
I guess that raises the question of: would this mean that characters with head-objects are some sort of special AI in the simulation, or have they just become irregular in some way that caused their statuses to become visible?
How about this, what if the head objects are the distortions?
Luke Stewart
They might be caused by the distortions, but Shimeji's sister's reaction to the mushroom seems a little too blasé if it was actually one of things that she was researching.
You're right, but the question is, how far along is the research? Also if big sis felt she needs to do something about Shimeji, that could be interesting conflict.
Her research seems to all be theoretical at this point, since she's never caught anything. But yeah, it does seem like her research will become the crux of some sort of conflict in the series, since it comes up so much. Since the mushroom seemed to appear out of nowhere, maybe her sister implanted it on her as a test subject and she is acting nonchalant about it so that Shimeji doesn't catch on. Or, maybe Shimeji's mushroom gives her a connection to what's going on behind the scenes, and through that, she realizes that she has to stop her sister's research because it's going to have some sort of negative consequences (like terminating the simulation). Maybe her sister's research ends up kicking off some sort of "quest" where the characters have to accomplish an objective-- for example, she discovers that the distortion is worse than she thought, and they have to look for the corrupted areas of the simulation to fix them. Or, maybe her sister is really just a chuunibyou college dropout who pretends to do imaginary research as a form of escapism, and Shimeji has to come to terms with the fact that the person she looks up to is actually not a very good role model; the series has already somewhat setup the fact that Shimeji feels kind of insecure about how weird her sister's behavior is.
There are a lot of interesting possible directions this could go in.
It's nice to see a bit more of the city in this one. The way the architecture is piled on top of itself and doesn’t make sense in a way that gets worse as she gets more lost reminds me of Terumina.
Anthony Brooks
I think it's testament to tkmiz's storytelling skill, that it makes our imaginations run so wild with speculation. The whole story so far could still go in any direction, we're just shooting into the dark it is fun and interesting to speculate like this though. > Or, maybe her sister is really just a chuunibyou college dropout who pretends to do imaginary research as a form of escapism, and Shimeji has to come to terms with the fact that the person she looks up to is actually not a very good role model. This seems like the least likely option to me, if that were the case, I think Shimeji could tell when she read her sisters mind. I could see big sis becoming the antagonist of the story if it'll even have one, she could be a sort of mad scientist type, willing to sacrifice her morality for the sake of her research. I know it's probably not canon, but in the end of the prequel she jokes about naming her invention Yoochan v2, that was pretty heartless. If she were the antagonist, maybe she caused the mushrooms on Shimeji's head in order to further her research, maybe if she created them, that would also allow her to block Shimeji from reading her mind. If Shimeji had to defeat her sister, that would also mean she would have to become independant, a sort of typical coming of age character arc for Shimeji. probably not though, I'm just making things up, tkmiz doesn't seem like an author that writes clear personified antagonists like that, instead his/her writing seems to be more about overcoming problems caused by humanity as a whole i.e. war and it's devastating impact in SSR
Kayden Hall
I just had a thought. In this chapter, when Shimeji wanders around the city, despite the fact, it seems to be the middle of the day, there is almost nobody anywhere, she just brushes it off as people being in school/work. What if, the reason people aren't there is that the simulation has limited memory, and it needs to scale down the amount of people in order to run properly.

I know tkmiz used the big sis character as a sort of avatar, but doesn't anybody else feel like, in terms of how the character acts and is used, Shimeji feels like she's more of a self-insert for tkmiz? For example at the end of chapters there seems to be some though Shimeji has, the one here in chapter 7 in particular feels like something very personal from tkmiz, kind of reminds me of the SSR afterwords. inb4 Shimeji and big sis are the same person, "I looked at her and I became her", maybe a sort of Bioshock Infinite kind of deal

Thank you! I knew a garbage collector is a thing and I wanted to say it, but I couldn't remember the term. This is exactly what I had in mind.

>What if, the reason people aren't there is that the simulation has limited memory, and it needs to scale down the amount of people in order to run properly. I just thought it took place in the same city as episode 3 of Boku no Pico.
Gavin Parker
>Boku no Pico Please don't bring that up in our comfy tkmiz thread.
Only after marrying her and loving her very much, in the missionary position, whilst holding hands, for the purpose of creating as many cute little shimejis as possible

Can someone post the list of all the various media tsukumizu has mentioned? I remember seeing it a couple threads ago
Jacob Richardson
Nevermind I was able to find it in the archive, here it is if anyone is interested. This only includes books, but I also know tsukumizu is a fan of Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker, due to them having drawn art from the film.
>Author treats characters like "actors" and reuses them in their other works love this trope
Nolan Torres
If you look in this thread you will find art referencing Dr.strangelove, Stalker, Nostalgia and Gridman. There is also art of Kino, Bakemonogatari, Boogiepop, Hakune Miku, Goblin Slayer, Kemurikusa, Lain, Asagao to Kase-san, Hidamari Sketch, Yuru Yuri, Nichijou, Gakkougurashi, Azumanga Daioh, milky holmes, Flip Flappers, Kiniro Mosaic, The Matrix, Portal, Evangelion, Haibane Renmei, Lucky Star, Hibike Euphonium, Madoka Magica, Show by Rock, Kemono Friends, Pokemon, Aria and Star Wars. At least that is what I have found. There might be more that I didn't recognize or know about

What other works/authors do that ? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
David Cook
Ah. I still didn't get a chance to update this with the books an user posted in the last thread.
I was thinking of expanding the list beyond just books, but I thought if I expanded to all media, it would very rapidly become intractable since tkmiz has drawn so much manga/anime/game fanart. Just books and movies might work, since tkmiz has only referenced a handful of films.
Henry Edwards
Tezuka had some character designs show up in his other works. And not really the same since it's kind of story related but one character in Phoenix shows up in pretty much every story and we're meant to assume that they're all reincarnations of each other.

You could just make it a text only list , that would make it easier to organize and that way it could fit into a single image, or you could make it a pastebin or just post it as text in the thread.
This but add tkmiz threads to the list. I feel sad when someone posts one early and I miss out on a day of being able to post, or even worse, the thread archives.
If you don't take action on your problems, you are not living at all.
I guess after all these years the most sensible thing to kys if things have not been better after countless attempts at changing life. You shouldn't be a neet leeching off your family, it only makes things worse. Just go on a journey to the wilderness and live as long as your body allows you and then die.
At least that's my plan. Hopefully i meet my waifu Yuuri on the other side.
>tfw saw some big cans of Sapporo beer at the grocery store but didn't buy them I want to try as many different kinds and brands of beers as I can as a kind of tribute to Chii-chan and Yuu, does anyone else do anything similar or have something that reminds them of the girls?
I am now determined to collect as many Japanese rifles as I can, because of my wife Yuuri. So far I only have two, but I will try to get all the Type 38 varients and possibly the Type 99s. Next most important purchase for me is the Type 97, the rifle that I believe is truly Yuuri's.
Yuuri should know better than to point a gun at a person.

>Houseki no Kuni good choice if any anons itt are looking for a good manga with existential themes and lots of suffering then hnk is pretty much the best
literally the fist google result imgur.com/gallery/819ek Yes, and so do the rest of us here in these threads. It makes me feel glad they made it to Shimeji Simulation. Don't do it user, be strong!
I'd give you a spiel to not do it but I don't want to be a hypocrite, most I can do is say please don't user.
Liam Myers
>Did all the anons talking about group suicide actually do it? Yes. I'm dead now.
Brayden Gonzalez
Damn, you were my favorite user too...
Jaxon Baker
So you went ahead and did it without me? That's not cool man, not cool.
Carson Peterson
Don't worry, I wasn't doing anything with my life anyway.
Robert Morgan
Because it's not your time user. You have a life to live and hopelessness to get along with. Find the smiles I couldn't and free yourself from the zetsubou.
Bittersweetness I wish to be in girls last tour world and explore for all enternity knowing that I am alone and happy But I knew that dreams will never happen to me...
