Fabricant 100:

Tucker

Title:

• Japanese title: Jinzou Ningen 100 人造人間100 （じんぞうにんげん100）
  • Jean-zo neen-gen
  • Literally translates to “artificial human 100.” I think the localized title of “Replicant 100” was a good choice here.

Author

• Enoshima, Daisuke 江ノ島 だいすけ（えのしま だいすけ)
  • Eh-no-sh’ma, Die-s’key
  • The “i” in Enoshima and the “u” in Daisuke would normally be barely pronounced due to the whispered vowel effect

Characters

• Ya’o, Ashibi 八百あしび
  • Yah-oh, Ash-shee-bee
  • Remember, the family name is two syllables!

Manga Itself / Misc thoughts

• The one-shot for this won the Golden Future Cup, guaranteeing Enoshima a serialisation, which was… well, this.
• No.100’s design appears to be heavily influenced by Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village, hence her breasting boobily towards you in that cleavage-heavy dress.
• Daisuke Enoshima’s favourite manga in a 2020 profile include Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece, Demon Slayer, Nodame Cantabile, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, and Dorohedoro.
• Volume extras include sketches between chapters with extra gags/equipment information/character designs/etc, the rare one-page bonus comic, profiles, and ASSISTANT CREDITS!
