'Snatcher' Composer Motoaki Furukawa Sued Over Payment Dispute



Quote
Former Konami composer Motoaki Furukawa – who composed music for the likes of Snatcher, Sunset Riders, Metal Gear and Salamander – is being sued by the Japanese studio hired to work on his TwinBee spiritual successor.
The cause of the problem is the game Steam Pilots, developed by Japanese outfit Pixel. Steam Pilots was crowdfunded to the tune of more than 10 million yen (roughly $86,000), but is unlikely to see release.

Watch out though. The first chapters of the manga were kinda depressing, but later it'd be wholesome and funny.

I'm not surprise. While "future shock" is a sci-fi term, I imagine those awakened from long term coma would probably experiance the same thing. Though it would go further for Uncle given his isekei adventure.

Also, does the uncle have a name?

Yes, it's Shibazaki Yousuke.
But he doesn't give his name until chapter 30 or so in the manga since he has trust issue.
Before he only gave everyone he met fake names from SEGA games he played.
One of the fake names' example is Kuroki Tenma from Alien Soldier (Mega Drive).

I'm curious of the story between these two. I recall a page you showed me where they have wedding rings so I pressume they're married.

It's a misunderstanding.
The ring was given by uncle as a reward,
but Sui (the elf girl) misinterpret it,
because when uncle gave it he put it in the her finger.



Before moving into uncle and Sui's relationship...
I had to inform that human race in the isekai world have a handsome or pretty faces.
Everyone of them.
Kinda like a hollywood movie.
Meanwhile Uncle who has an ugly face,
is considered to have an orc-like face by the people of Isekai world.



That's why in the beginning, he always being treated harshly
which make the manga's kinda depressing to read at the beginning chapters.
He always mistakenly seen as an orc, not as a human.




Because of his "ugly" (by isekai world standard) face,
uncle never dreamed he had any chance with girls,
let alone a girl as beautiful as Sui.
It never crossed his mind, not even once.
He didn't realize that elves is a race that could live hundred or thousand years.
something like a face is just a trivial matter for them.



The misunderstanding about the ring was finally resolved later,
which angered Sui and she became bitter and ruder ever since.
This is a scene after Sui knows uncle gave a ring to someone else too :
