spoiler[Daisuke Suwa, Bitter Virgin]

For an unlicensed manga, I wonder why so many people have read it and given it quite good ratings.

Heh, it took me 10 minutes to realize who he was. At first I could recognize the art style, even down to the detail that spoiler[he had a "volatile" elder sister], yet just couldn't remember which series. After realizing it was spoiler[Kei Kusunoki]'s style everything was solved.

Just in case scanlators didn't include behind-the-scene messages from the author: spoiler[the part with Daisuke's sister delivering a baby DOT was Kusunoki's personal experience. The trauma was kept in strict secrecy and even her managing editor didn't know (she lived in another city and telecommunicate her artworks).]

I'm still in the business hour (just back from lunch) so please wait a few hours before I can post a new picture. Anyone wants to start a mini-game?

Now, before you dropping your jaws and/or ROFL, remember that I want his name in the manga.

I've got this nagging feeling that this is too obvious to be the right answer, but...

spoiler[John Omaha from Air Gear]?

Yup. Now his title has been changed to "spoiler[president elect]" and gets more and more involved in the story.

Yay! I've never actually read much spoiler[Air Gear], but I just remembered this cameo being linked around last year.

It's going to take me awhile, so feel free to start a mini-game.
