Watanabe, Iwata, & Sumiyoshi are neighbors to Excel and Hyatt, these three guys always wonder where the strange noises are coming from....

Laughs =-) Also (especially if you keep reading the series) making fun of conspiracies theories, dirty old men, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Oh, pretty much everything!!!

Instead of English "sound effects," the onomonopia(sp??) is in Japanese. Well, mostly. Enough so that I just imagine my own sounds. Also, not all the jokes translated real well.

Read the rest of the series

Well, it was hard to catch my breath once I was done reading it, from laughing so much. And it was hard to stay quiet when I was reading late at night.

It will probably take a while for most people to get the hang of reading this book, because it reads from right to left. Yup, start at the "back" cover, and work your way "forward."
