Comics on the Train
That’s right, comics, not manga. In all my years in Japan, this is the very first time I ever see someone take out an American comic to read on the train, in this case the latest issue of Warren Ellis’ THUNDERBOLTS. I did ask this guy permission before taking the shot, telling him I knew the writer and that he’d probably get a kick out of seeing this.
The fact that someone drew the kanji for meat on the cover of this free paper is unremarkable, but what if I tell you that they also drew it on almost every forehead of every picture inside! That’s dedication.

Wall Frames by Nendo
Remember that wall-climbing room with frames that I posted about a while back? Seems that it was designed by Nendo. Via Core77 (I don’t really see why they describe Nendo as a “start-up” unit though.)
