EGG magazine. Yamanba revival issue. I guess in the beginning, the teachers and haters would call the kids 'YAMANBA,' which meant 'mountain witch,' a sort of ugly folklore character. But then the kids started calling THEMSELVES that; shortening it to 'manba.' Sort of like 'nigga-with-an-'a'' kind of thing, and just as deeply trivial. Jesus, why do I even care?? Anyway, MANBA. Also, '-TAN' is the new '-chan,' and the male manbas are called 'CENTA-GUYS,' named after 'center street' in shibuya. (1/32)
