I’ve finished translating all 23 volumes. Guess that’s short for your average shonen manga :)

Harisen

The big fan Shukotan whacks Taikobo is is harisen, a prop used in comedy skits and in manzai (two-person standup comedy).

The fan makes a loud noise when you whack someone with it, but supposedly it doesn’t hurt as much as it looks.

Supu

The whole Supu thing (his looks, Supu papa/mama, and the Supu valley) is a parody of Moomin. There were three TV anime series made here, so it’s a parody people recognize.

And the one-hour time limit is of course a parody of Ultraman.
