Well, let me tell you about this thing, “3 Seconds Later He Turned into a Beast”. Sounds crazy, right? I heard about it from my neighbor’s kid, the one who’s always glued to that phone. He was mumblin’ somethin’ about it, and I got curious, you know how us old folks are.
So, from what I gathered, it’s some kinda story, a Japanese thing, they call it a “manga”. Sounds fancy, but it’s just pictures and words, like a comic book, but from Japan. This girl, Tsumugi, she’s had some bad luck with men, real aggressive types, you know, the kind that yell and stomp around.
So, she goes to this get-together, a “mixer,” they call it. She’s lookin’ for a nice, quiet fella, a “herbivore” as they say. And she finds this guy, Kaname. He seems real gentle, shy even. But then, bam! Three seconds later, he’s a whole different person.
Now, this is where it gets a bit… spicy. The kid didn’t tell me all the details, kinda mumbled and blushed, but I pieced it together. Seems like this Kaname fella, he ain’t so shy after all. He turns into a “beast,” a real “carnivore,” if you catch my drift.
- They made a cartoon outta this story too, an “anime”. Moving pictures, you know?
- And there’s even a website, all in Japanese, so I couldn’t read a lick of it.
- This Tsumugi girl, she’s voiced by some actress named Riho Sugiyama, or somethin’ like that, in the uncensored version. The censored one? Some other gal, Eikan-Shokora. Fancy names, these young folks have.
The first episode, it’s called “Is He the One?” See, Tsumugi, she’s hopin’ this Kaname is different, not like them other fellas. Then the second episode is “You Wanna Continue?” I reckon that means things get even crazier, but the kid wouldn’t tell me more. Said it wasn’t for old ears, imagine that!
It’s all a bit much for an old woman like me, all this “beast” talk and whatnot. But it seems like a big deal to the youngsters. They got actors doin’ the voices, Tetsuya Kakihara, Yichi Iguchi, Yya Hirose, those are some of ‘em. And Shogo Yano too, he’s in there somewhere.
This whole thing started as a manga by someone named Coa Momose. Published by Suiseisha in Japan, and BookWalker, whoever they are, helps spread it around. The first episode of the cartoon came out on April 2nd, 2022. The kid said it was a Saturday, these youngsters remember everythin’.
And there’s an official website, but like I said, it’s all in Japanese. Anime News Network, they got some info on it too, in English this time, thank goodness. They call it an encyclopedia, fancy that! So, this Tsumugi, she’s lookin’ for a quiet guy, and she ends up with a beast. Sounds like my kinda luck with men back in the day, always endin’ up with the loud ones!
It’s a story about a girl and a guy who’s not what he seems. He hides his true nature, then boom, three seconds later, he’s all wild. It’s like that time old man Johnson pretended to be deaf so he wouldn’t have to listen to his wife, then he’d yell at the TV during football games. Men, they’re all a bit beastly, ain’t they? Some just hide it better than others.
So that’s the gist of it, this “3 Seconds Later He Turned into a Beast” thing. It’s a story about changin’ and hidin’ who you really are, and about findin’ someone who maybe, just maybe, can handle your wild side. Or maybe it’s just about pretty pictures and folks yellin’ in Japanese. Either way, it’s got them youngsters all riled up.
