This pair of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law is far from ordinary!
War is not the tragedy of the human race.
The tragedy of all mankind is the impossibility of choosing one's parents and children.
Life partners can be chosen. Not in-laws.
But rest assured, the greatest tragedy of the human race is actually entertaining! Main Street in Elysium makes an amusing satire out of our pains.
The on-going mortal combat between Noriko and her mother-in-law who take up residence on Main Street. The wacky neighbors who bring their own craziness to the set. This hairy combination creates the dark world of Elysium. Beware: it's additive.
This series was awarded the Grand Prize at the 21st Japanese Cartoonists Association Awards.

That was soooo weird...but I guess it was funny? Not that funny though....
Main Street is such an over-the-top yet simply twisted comedy. I find the almost repetitious conversations between the mother-daughter and father-dauther pairs hilarious. And the butt-ugly fatso in the pretty woman strips? Stomach-hurting funny. I'm very excited about this new series.
Sunseaukoe, I'm right with you on this one. I have a special place in my heart for hillarious, even if sometimes unfortunate, mother in law/daughter in law interactions, and this did not disappoint! My absolute favorite moments were in the, "Call girl?" "STOP LYING!!!" scene, and all of the polite but attempted harm scenes with the daughter. "Mother, you're so kind." ROFL is right! I can totally see why this got such a prestigious award. Keep it coming! :-)
What a great new offering from Netcomics! Hilarious doesn't even begin to describe this polite battle to the death between daughter-in-law and parents-in-law. I laughed soo hard I thought I was going to have an accident!! I'm not sure how this can be stretched to cover 5 volumes but I look forward to reading all of them.
I sincerely hope this series goes to print format.
