Funny that how it go in the manga too. The girls try to prank Yotsuba with Danbo but then can't break it to her that the robot isn't real so they keep playing along with it.

First and last manga I read in Japanese, decided my brain was too full of programming languages to learn another human language.

Unfortunately mosy of that space is taken up by JavaScript idiosyncrasies.

Had no idea who it was until this thread. Just thought it looked cool.

u/eimieole Jan 26 '25

Danbo is from a manga, Yotsuba&! In one volume of the manga series, the little girl Yotsuba, sees her teenage neighbour friend in a makeshift robot costume. On one of the boxes the business name Danbo is printed. Yotsuba doesn't understand that it's a person inside the boxes so she thinks it's a real robot named Danbo.

So the person in the picture is cosplaying a girl in a masquerade costume.

Imagine this is your life’s greatest achievement, you’re taking it super seriously, your great grandmother has left her house for the first time in 13 years to watch you accept your degree. And you sit next to the cardboard box guy. Lmao
