Junichi Yamakawa's gay erotic manga "Kusomiso Technique" (くそみそテクニック) got an anime OVA adaptation in 2024, titled "Shin Yaranaika" (新·やらないか), bringing the iconic Heisei meme "Good Man" back into everyone's minds.
As the New Year kicked off, the anime's official X account dropped an image of Abe Takakazu's "Fukuwarai" game. Those dashing eyebrows, those big, round eyes, that mischievous smirk... all the "Good Man's" facial features were scattered, inviting fans to assemble them themselves. This New Year's surprise instantly became a hot topic.
For the uninitiated, "Fukuwarai" (福笑い) is a traditional Japanese New Year's game. Players are blindfolded and then try to place scattered facial parts onto a face outline, aiming to create the funniest (or sometimes, the most normal) expression possible.
This surprise official project, practically asking "Wanna play Fukuwarai?", immediately sent netizens into a frenzy. Who would've thought we'd get to play with Abe Takakazu himself? Whether you end up with a "Good Man" or something truly "unforgettable" is all up to your touch and imagination!
▼ Print it out and play at home! Or, if you're brave enough... in public.
While you'd need some serious mental fortitude to whip this out at a family gathering, among close friends, the atmosphere would definitely explode (probably). So, why not give it a shot and create your very own "Good Man" by hand?
