I'm getting ready to re-read this whole series for the third time. It is the kind of title that gets under your skin in such small bits that you begin to live in it's world more than many manga which seem like one is watching TV.

Equally, as the story winds down it does so in a manner that leaves one with a lingering feeling of having BEEN somewhere, yet GONE nowhere. It twinkles out like the diamonds on the water at sunset. One moment, you're considering it and the next, it's simply no longer there...

I've lost count the amount of times i've re-read the series. Easily best done a chapter a day.

can we get a more active group started here since the powers that be will not let me inform people of a page where I've been trying to get an active thread started?
If Ashinano hadn't ended YKK when he did, perhaps the need for a new discussion place wouldn't be necessary.

YKK is the only manga from the past 10 years to stir my interest. Everything else out there is not worth the time, not even Kabu No Isaki, which is sadly inferior to YKK.

True but if you hadn't mentioned KNI, I wouldn't have found it! I'm enjoying reading it now, but do concur, YKK has no rivals.

How many times? Maybe a couple of times every month? then it's just like me.

There is a God. Halle-fucking-lujah!

Now when is the anime coming out (yeah, I know about the two Sony double-OAVs with Choro Club soundtracks, I mean a real bookended series)?

I wish. A proper YKK adaptation would be beyond wonderful, and there have been some bonkers weird announcements lately. But I still consider it an extreme long shot.

Words cannot describe how vastly, hugely, mindboggling thrilled I am to read the news that Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is getting an English language release, after all these years.
That was fantastic news to wake up to this morning.
