I don't have anything against marathon runners and I'm sure that there are people who have to drive their cars through the path the Tokyo marathon takes who have far better reasons to be annoyed than me. That being said, there are things about it which are irritating. First, those who want to take part in it talk about it. A lot. Too damn much. They do this because you have to win a lottery to

Will Miss #307 - Tokyo Metro Yellow Manner Posters
Posted on 00:15 by Unknown
There is a particular series of "manner" posters that are regularly issued on the subways. They are always the same color scheme and from the same artist.
