    From David Johnston@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 24 14:45:23 2020
    I have a pet theory about comedians. They are significantly more likely
    to be desperately unhappy than people in most other jobs because only a desperately unhappy person tries so hard to be funny so often. And also assholes. Minare's roommate (who is unfailingly nice and considerate)
    tells her she likes living with Minare because Minare is so insensitive
    and inconsiderate she finds it refreshing and liberating just to watch
    her.

    Not that Minare's father isn't also an asshole and a drunk. When she
    asks him what's with her weird name first he tells her some pun about
    porno magazines and then claims her name was created by combining the
    names of the three mistresses he broke up with right before her birth.
    It's weird how the meaning of Japanese names changes depending on what
    symbols you use to write the syllables, so that Minare can't figure out
    her name means "to cause laughter". Another hint of course that she's
    the daughter of that dead comic performer.

    I wonder what brings this here but many comedians suffer from
    bipolar syndrome and other problems such as the one that resulted in
    Robin Williams taking his own life.
    Unhappy has causes beside simply being.

    bliss - bipolar but cannot stand up long enough to be
    a comedian nor run away if the crowd gets angry.

    i have been following this for a while (mostly as the manga) and it has
    become one of my favorite series. It is a slow burn and then revels in
    some utterly bizarre situations. Took me a while to get into it, but it
    is delightful.
