• 0:04
  What's up, y'all? And welcome back to Dad Needs to
• 0:06
  Talk. I'm your host, Robert.
• 0:08
  And today today we're going to be talking about a new manga
• 0:12
  fresh off the press called Daddy and Buddy.
• 0:15
  Now first of all I got to give a shout out to the two homies
• 0:20
  y'all to plays and Knox for putting this on my radar because
• 0:25
  those two out of everybody I follow they always tapped into
• 0:29
  the new things on the manga streets so shout out to them but
• 0:35
  but yeah so daddy and buddy now normally especially lightly I, I
• 0:43
  don't really jump into new stuff out the gates.
• 0:48
  You know sometimes I like to let it sit and build up a little bit
• 0:51
  before I dive into it just because you you just never know.
• 0:54
  And sometimes I like to maybe read a few chapters together
• 0:57
  before I form judgment. But me being a dad obviously
• 1:01
  this a daddy's to talk father of five.
• 1:04
  I see something with daddy in the title then I feel a sense of
• 1:09
  obligation to at least take a look at it and take a look I did
• 1:13
  because this is something I had no clue what it was.
• 1:19
  Only thing I knew about this going in was that it involved an
• 1:23
  adult main character and that was it.
• 1:26
  I didn't read no synopsis or nothing, I just went off of
• 1:29
  Blind Faith of the Homies because I trust them and their
• 1:33
  judgment of good manga and so I just went straight into reading
• 1:39
  and was thoroughly surprised. So Daddy and Buddy basically
• 1:45
  follows our main character Tanaka who is a 28 year old
• 1:55
  father of three married to a lovely lady.
• 2:00
  Showing that too soon. But but I saw 28 year old father
• 2:08
  of three married and he is currently a gymnastics
• 2:15
  instructor now. He was somebody there at one
• 2:21
  point. Time young.
• 2:21
  In his younger years he had dreams of becoming an Olympian.
• 2:25
  He was good at what he did, but it seemed like he didn't really
• 2:29
  have a mix of maybe maybe he had the skills or maybe he realized
• 2:34
  his limits, But he also seemed like he didn't have the right
• 2:40
  kind of support people from like coaches and stuff to truly push
• 2:44
  him to be the best that he could be that truly believed in him.
• 2:48
  So like I said, he still wanted to to to to be involved with
• 2:52
  gymnastics, so he ended up becoming a gym instructor.
• 2:56
  And like I said, he has a father, a family and stuff.
• 3:01
  And so throughout his life he has encountered these little
• 3:09
  bugs that are called that we let her find out, called grumble
• 3:13
  bugs. But they are these basically
• 3:15
  invisible insects that haunt and play children and they
• 3:24
  basically, what is it called they are, they are apparitions
• 3:29
  born of children's discomfort and their growth is fueled by
• 3:35
  the discomfort that they sell within children.
• 3:37
  So basically the examples that shows like, you know, kids
• 3:40
  fighting, throwing tantrums, being disruptive, all this
• 3:44
  stuff, whatever, as any of us to deal with kids, especially us
• 3:47
  fellow parents know too well. And that's kind of how we get
• 3:51
  introduced to them in the in the manga to where he comes home
• 3:54
  from work, chaos immediately. You know kids fighting.
• 3:58
  He's got three kids. His oldest son, his oldest kid
• 4:01
  is a four year old boy and then he has a set of twins, a boy and
• 4:06
  girl that are two years old. And so that is how we get
• 4:09
  introduced to his family and and I feel like that scene just
• 4:13
  immediately made me fall in love or at least none.
• 4:16
  Maybe not fully fall in love, but at least like hook me a bit
• 4:20
  because I'm all too familiar with this chaotic scene that we
• 4:25
  see when he walks in in the doors of his home.
• 4:27
  So I'm like, hey, hey, hey, hey everybody, I'm home, Dad's home
• 4:32
  and just chaos ensues. But but yeah, so he has no clue
• 4:38
  at the time what these bugs are. Whatever, He just knows that he
• 4:43
  can only see them. And then when he crushes them,
• 4:48
  then the kids become happier, better moves and stuff.
• 4:52
  The chaos calms down and that's that.
• 4:55
  And so he just lived his life. Just send these bugs, like I
• 4:59
  say, crushing, destroying them, whatever, and just being a happy
• 5:03
  family man. But he is also kind of like he's
• 5:07
  noticed these bugs here and there throughout town and stuff
• 5:10
  around other people. But he doesn't always step in to
• 5:14
  crush all of them, whatever. Just many of the ones that are
• 5:16
  directly affecting his kids as well as the kids that he teaches
• 5:21
  at his gym class and stuff. Well, Fast forward a little bit
• 5:28
  and the kids have this show that they like to watch with this
• 5:31
  kind of like Ranger looking dude and you know he's fighting crime
• 5:37
  and stuff, whatever. And so one day we Fast forward a
• 5:40
  bit, the family is out at the park or whatever, They're just
• 5:45
  having a family outing or whatever.
• 5:47
  Some bugs show up and stuff and you know the dad deals with them
• 5:50
  as normal. But there is A and usually or a
• 5:56
  larger than normal bug that the data shown figure how to deal
• 5:59
  with without draw, without drawing too much of A scene
• 6:04
  could once again only he can see them well as he's in the in the
• 6:09
  midst of trying to figure this out or whatever.
• 6:11
  The same guy that he saw on the TV show, whatever his kids
• 6:16
  liked. Whatever comes through smashes
• 6:19
  the bug and then the dad is like, oh, and then the guy's
• 6:25
  like, oh, you can see me. And so it just kind of starts
• 6:31
  this funny thing to where finally there's somebody else
• 6:35
  who can see and fight these bugs aside from just the dad.
• 6:39
  And so, like, I'm kind of Fast forward because I don't want to
• 6:42
  go through everything B for BI, kind of want you to go in and
• 6:45
  read this yourselves. But anyhoo, they end up, you
• 6:49
  know, he ends up tracking on this guy again, talking to him,
• 6:54
  getting the details on what is up with these bugs, who this guy
• 6:58
  is and stuff, and basically what this guy is.
• 7:05
  He is what's known as as a gymnastics buddy, who they are,
• 7:09
  you know, their job is to help exterminate the bugs.
• 7:13
  And so of course our NFC, he immediately lights up and kind
• 7:19
  of sees a potential path for for him.
• 7:23
  So because of course the river wine back, I forgot to mention
• 7:25
  the top the gym that he is an instructor at or whatever is
• 7:29
  about to be shut down just because of some health related
• 7:33
  stuff going on with the owner's wife that he needs to take care
• 7:37
  of and so he can't keep the gym open And so but this might
• 7:42
  potentially be a saving grace for our main character as he
• 7:47
  meets his guy and stuff and basically he's kind of talk to
• 7:51
  him about like you know like the criterias like hey you need to
• 7:53
  you know, of course being able to see the bugs but you also
• 7:56
  need to be a gymnast that's you know good with children and all
• 8:01
  this stuff like. So the whole time he is just
• 8:03
  like yo, that that is me. I'm, I love kids I'm, I'm good
• 8:07
  with, I'm good in gymnastics and stuff whatever.
• 8:10
  And so it it is just like a super dope moment just seeing
• 8:15
  them kind of talking and coming together and like shout out to
• 8:19
  the wife, she know Boo but but we get like this like really
• 8:24
  dope shot him doing this like double twisting, double layout
• 8:30
  and sticking the landing on this humongous bug that was kind of
• 8:35
  hounding the other dude or whatever.
• 8:37
  And yeah man. So All in all, like I said, I'm
• 8:41
  keeping this kind of short, but this was a very pleasant
• 8:45
  surprise. Like I said, for me going in
• 8:48
  blind, which sometimes can be kind of 5050 but when things end
• 8:55
  up being good like with this or at least like a good first
• 8:57
  impression like this was whatever, then it kind of
• 8:59
  sometimes makes it even more exciting and more rewarding
• 9:03
  going to things blind and stuff so but but yeah so I am very
• 9:08
  excited to see where this is going to go and what comes next
• 9:13
  from this and you know to to figure out like okay are there.
• 9:18
  I'm guessing there's multiple people that are part of this
• 9:22
  secret group or whatever, so I'm definitely interested to kind of
• 9:26
  learn more about that and maybe even learn more about the
• 9:29
  origins of the bugs and all that different stuff.
• 9:32
  But but yeah, All in all, pretty cool premise.
• 9:35
  Like I said, like like these invisible bugs that feed off of
• 9:40
  the kind of like despair and discomfort of kids and stuff.
• 9:44
  So it just speaks to me in so many ways.
• 9:46
  Like I said, just from the faith of it just being just a a
• 9:49
  generally unique premise but it also our main character, of
• 9:53
  course not only is he an adult, but he's also a dad father of
• 9:57
  three. Come on now.
• 9:59
  It's it's it's like it's like this is kind of you know geared
• 10:03
  towards the dad needs to talk demographic.
• 10:07
  But but yeah, so like I said I'm excited to to read more and
• 10:12
  actually I'm going to take a look at something see if there's
• 10:14
  any other work that this author has done.
• 10:17
  OKOK so yeah so looking it up it looks like you have the this is
• 10:21
  the this author's first full full series.
• 10:26
  It looks like they did a one shot last year about a about a
• 10:33
  white Smith that makes artificial metal bodies for
• 10:37
  soldiers So and the the synopsis and they look pretty.
• 10:40
  I might see if I can find the transition of that somewhere but
• 10:42
  but yeah so this is their their first civilization I guess with
• 10:46
  the with the daddy and buddy but but yeah All in all I'm I'm
• 10:52
  definitely down to to continue to read more of this.
