Sketchtember Day 16. Did I do the meme?
Joe's birthday message from the official website!
Hm? What is it?
Ahhh... it's my brithday? I'm already at the age where I don't feel happy about it anymore but.... hehe thank you!
Having someone to celebrate with me every year like this... is great, isn't it? I'll have to make sure to return the favor. Be prepared.

Muscle point explanation according to Joe!
Muscles are required for the difficult “S”. This is Joe’s ranking of the muscles of the “S” world!
I attempted to rank the muscles so check it out, okay?
Muscles will never betray you!
MIYA ranked 57
He’s got baby muscles right now but he could transform in the future. Though he told me that it would cause air resistance so he didn’t want them……
REKI ranked 25
He’s a high schooler so this is normal. If you bulked up a little more I’m sure you’d be more popular kid☆
Langa ranked 18
I can hear them…… I can hear them…… I can hear the voices of all his core muscles that he forged through snowboarding!
Cherry blossom ranked 11
He may look like a skinny thing but don’t be fooled. Did you see his roundhouse kick? Even his muscles are sly foxes.
Shadow ranked 6
Hmph….. Not bad. They’re flexible, strong muscles. And they’re floral…… I hear?!
ADAM ranked 2
He’s got some nasty things under his tight-fitting outfit. He’s practically hiding them. Those poor things…… Muscles, come to me.
Joe ranked 1
They all still have a long way to go. Food and muscles must both be cooked on a low flame. I’ll always be waiting for you, ciao☆
Snake Not ranked
He’s an unknown variable. However I can feel his hidden muscles……!
The producers talk about Joe’s secrets
Uryuu: He’s an Italian chef because he went to study in Italy.
Suzuki: That’s right, Italy is known as the land of the sun. So he has a tattoo of the sun. I never thought his outfit for the “S” would be him naked in just a jacket though (lol). It’s dangerous because you could get hurt but I’m sure that Joe doesn’t care about that.
Uryuu: Out of the adult group I feel like he’s the most adult.
Suzuki: He is the one who cares most about how the people he’s interacting with feel. Cherry blossom is the type to just say whatever he wants, but Joe seems like the type to watch over you from one step behind you. He’s really open minded so I understand why he’s popular with girls.
Uryuu: He isn’t a horrible womanizer, he just like women.
Suzuki: He’s probably nice to old ladies too.
Uryuu: His type is really wide.
Suzuki: There’s a scene where Joe opens up in episode 6 so please look forward to that.
The producers talk about Cherry blossom’s secrets
Suzuki: He was originally written to be a lawyer, but when it came time to design him, he ended up wearing Japanese style clothes.
Uryuu: So from there we tried to think of what job he could have that he’d wear kimono everyday…… and since we had already determined he would be an AI skater, he became an AI calligrapher.
Suzuki: He became the character for the most different ideas for him. No one could decide anything and so he just kept getting more, and so in the end Ookouchi just had to do something with all of that (lol).
Uryuu: He was created as a set with Joe, however they became like that north and south pole of a magnet! They’re exact opposites and yet they’re pulled towards each other, they’re constantly fighting and yet inseparable and so it’s like they’re always together.
Suzuki: When they fight, information about how long they’ve really known each other comes out.
Uryuu: They went to kindergarten together so they really are childhood friends.
Suzuki: I’m sure when they were small they got along….. just kidding I think they’ve always been like that.
I was going to try to scanlate this page but it requires too much explanation it would look weird on the page.
This is from the volume 3 booklet.
