    this pose is actually very difficult and uncomfortable to maintain for adults and especially for men, because of the weight of the torso and the width of the shoulders. the elbows become sore and the muscles are in constant tension, while it’s also more difficult to breathe. I don’t see him, doing it for longer than 10 minutes before he slumps down unable to concentrate on his work.

      Adult woman checking in. Aside from the feet in the air, this is my preferred programming posture! I hold this position easily for hours before getting sore elbows.

      I am also small and a young adult not too many years away from teenagerhood. I hope your comment never becomes true for me with age. Looks like as long as I just maintain weight I should probably be safe, my shoulders are not getting any wider any time soon.

      For real tho. I would love to read like this in winter but it’s just too uncomfortable.

          Yes, It’s from an Anime/Manga called “Pluto” by Urasawa. Same author of Monster Anime.

            thanks for the info. i’ll give it a try, even though i became annoyed by a lot of anime tropes in the last few years. (for example, i really hate those shodown situations where ppl are about to fight, but then the fight is delayed for two episodes by endless talking and flashbacks.)

              Oh, you are new to anime? You will love every single piece of Urasawa’s work. They are usually twisted, mysterious and antagonist. Like say Death Note on Steroid but without any edginess.

              There is very less fight in his work. Just read any of his manga or watch Anime.

              I recommend Watching Pluto and Monster(If it become slow pace for you read Manga). And reading 20th Century Boy.

                no, i’m not new to it. i gave up on it, because of its tiresome tropes.

                i watched the first episode of Pluto and the part about North No. 2 was super long and boring 😆 but the rest was very good.

                  How it was boring I literally cried on that scene. 😭 It’s my favorite scene in entire anime.

                  I think any urasawa work is not fit for you.
