REVIEW: Happy Kanako's Killer Life GN 1

Is it a cautionary tale for the more banal, predatory employers out in the world, that if they don't treat their workers right, they may find themselves on the opposite end of a sniper rifle from someone suddenly receiving much better benefits? I doubt this silly comedy is seeking to be all that much socially reconstructive, but dang if that tone doesn't sweep the heavily-relating readers into the fantasy in the moment, anyway.

Christopher, should Lynzee and Chris MacDonald be watching their back?

It's quick-hit comedy where a huge part of the joke is that any of it is happening at all.

I remember when this series started the creator worked directly with a translator to use puns specifically geared to an English audience. He went so far as to use different animals entirely if the pun just didn't work in English and redrew associated panels.

I wonder if that is still the case or if he decided to focus on Japanese readers post serialization.
