Flat-picking

Flat-picking refers to a paneling style in which manga panels are arranged in a flat, grid-like or planar structure, emphasizing surface layout over depth, perspective, or dynamic panel breaking. The composition reads as orderly, stable, and spatially “flat,” with panels aligning cleanly and evenly, often reinforcing calm pacing, clarity, or thematic stillness.

Fujimoto uses flat-picking during dialogue scenes to keep the reader grounded.

Flat-picking contrasts with dynamic or fractured panel layouts that suggest motion or chaos.

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!
