Ditzy art student Suzu Miyauchi is stuck in a rut. Although she's technically talented at her craft, her work is under fire for "lacking color". It's missing that unique and original touch that makes it hers. While visiting the park for inspiration, she crosses paths with uptight birdwatching otaku Tsubasa Tokiniwa. Tsubasa, who moonlights as the bird-costumed host of a Youtube series about birds named Tori-san, opens Suzu's eyes to the world of birdwatching. There, Suzu finally feels her creative juices flowing and finds the artistic spark she's been looking for. Together with Ayame (Suzu's friend/classmate) and Hina (Tsubasa's friend/classmate) and an aloof nature photographer named Misaki, they set out to appreciate and document the beauty found in the forests and skies of Japan.Shiawase Tori-mingu ("Happy Birdwatching") is a Yonkoma manga by Kinako Warabimochi that has been serialized in Manga Time Kirara since 2020. It is also romanized as Shiawase Trimming, since "tori-mingu" is a pun on the term the Japanese use to refer to cropping a photograph, "trimming". The manga is technically not a Japanese School Club story, as there's no actual school club. But, like its Kirara contemporary Slow Loop, it borrows the school club series tropes and framework about moe girls doing an activity together to complement a relaxing tale of friendship and pastoral appreciation.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Shiawase Tori-mingu (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The series mines a lot of comedy out of analyzing bird behavior in terms of human relationships and sexuality. In chapter 1, Tsubasa says that seeing the same species of bird all over Japan is like having an eternal lover, making Suzu swoon at the thought of romance. Also in chapter 1, when Tsubasa shows Suzu a kingfisher and says it stands still for a long time, Suzu exclaims "What incredible fanservice!" In chapter 2, Suzu orbits around a pair of idling birds with her sketchpad, shouting out words of encouragement like she's a photographer taking glamour shots. When Suzu finds out that male ducks turn drab after mating season, she deems it a "scam" akin to somebody letting themselves go after marriage.

Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Tsubasa is a downplayed example. She's the only character with blue hair who happens to be introverted and uncomfortable with meeting people she doesn't know. She also explicitly states she doesn't like being the center of attention. However, she's never shown to be withdrawn or avoiding social interactions in general (aside from being adamant about keeping the identity of Tori-san a secret).

comment
Embarrassing Hobby: Tsubasa is absolutely adamant nobody (besides Hina) find out she dons a costume and films Youtube videos about birds under the guise of Tori-san. Unfortunately, she can't quite shake her character's verbal tic of spouting "-ppi!" at the end of sentences. When she was in middle school, Tsubasa considered her entire birdwatching hobby as this, since people usually see birdwatching as an old person's hobby.

Painting the Medium: When Suzu discovers Misaki is a Tori-san fan, the yonkoma frame turns into stems and flowers to emphasize her joy. Warabimochi has stated one of their favorite techniques is to end a column with a character looking up through a pair of binoculars at the start of the next column, which begins with the bird they're looking at, so that the audience "looks up" at the bird along with the character.

"Michinoku" is a way of calling the Tohoku regionnote the historic Mutsu Province to be exact, which did not cover modern Yamagata Prefecture at all, and the artist doesn't even disguise TUAD's distinctive main building◊.

Odd-Shaped Panel: Although it's a Yonkoma, it's not particularly beholden to the format. It frequently breaks the 4-panel format for artistic effect, especially when Suzu (an artist herself) sees a bird that inspires her. In an interview, Warabimochi revealed they actually went to college for filmmaking, and even though they 'fell into' doing manga and find the yonkoma format constraining at times, they enjoy bending the rules and getting as cinematic as possible.

Suzu fits the red oni in spirit, but she has blonde hair and only wears pink half the time.

comment
Heel Realization: When Misaki points out that birds are scared of humans, Suzu has a minor existential crisis about how she's a terrifying monster. Later though, Tsubasa points out that the presence of humans keeps some species of birds safe from other predators.

Naughty Birdwatching: Subverted in Chapter 1. While at the park, Suzu noticed a girl drooling and moaning "Suzu" while spying on her with a pair of binoculars. Suzu thought the other girl, Tsubasa, was a Peeping Tom, but it turned out she's a birdwatching otaku and she was watching Suzu-me (sparrows).

Foreshadowing: In chapter 1, Tsubasa accidentally lets a "-ppi!" slip and gets unusually flustered about it, even though her alter ego Tori-san hasn't been introduced yet.

The Peeping Tom: Tsubasa is introduced watching Suzu in the park from a distance with a pair of binoculars, moaning "Suzu" and drooling. Of course, it turns out she was actually watching Suzu-me (sparrows).

Lost in Translation: The English scanlators leave the word yakitori untranslated, so the quip in chapter 8 where Suzu says it's weird for a bird-lover to work in a restaurant that mainly serves grilled chicken may pass over the reader's head.

Bestiality Is Depraved: Played for laughs. When Suzu angsts about how she's too forgettable, Tsubasa says she just didn't notice Suzu because she was focusing on the cute sparrows. She then goes into uncomfortably graphic detail about what she finds cute, causing Suzu to say that's even worse. A few pages later, Tsubasa turns the tables when Suzu swoons over the idea of having an "eternal lover" as cute as a bird, and po-faced Tsubasa says she'll report her for it.

"Common Knowledge": In-Universe, Tsubasa points out that mandarin ducks — which symbolize eternal love to the Japanese — only mate for a single season and then part.note  For added irony, this is an example of a "canard", which is literally named after a quacking duck.

Literal-Minded: In chapter 1, when Suzu laments that people say her artwork lacks color, she wails, "But I made sure to make it super colorful!" At the end of chapter 1, Suzu says she hopes to find her Bluebird (of Happiness). Tsubasa tells her that if she wants to find a kingfisher (a literal blue bird) she should look for a big pile of poop. When Suzu compares ducks losing their colorful feathers to "letting themselves go", Tsubasa remarks that they don't need to let themselves go since they already live in the wild.

Secretly Wealthy: Hina is filthy rich, since she's the heiress to one of the largest fruit-growing operations in Yamagata prefecture which also does some food manufacturing, but she generally lives on the same modest social level as her friends and fellow college students Tsubasa and Suzu. Suzu only finds out she's rich when Hina buys 100,000-yen binoculars on a whim. Suzu blew all her money on a 30,000-yen pair and is now starving, but fortunately Hina is generous enough to throw a picnic using her family's products.

Match Cut: In-Universe. Suzu is watching a video of Tori-san on her phone when she realizes the area in the video looks extremely familiar. She lowers her phone to reveal Tsubasa birdwatching in the exact same spot. In chapter 6, there's a match cut between a woodpecker pecking a tree and Tsubasa pecking at a burger so she can hurry up and go birdwatching.

Technician Versus Performer: Tsubasa is an uptight bird otaku who is a wealth of facts and memorized info about birds, whereas Suzu is an enthusiastic amateur who knows nothing about birds yet constantly seeks out the emotional awe and wonder they evoke. Suzu is a painter who captures the "feeling" of a majestic bird, whereas Misaki is a photographer who captures the reality.

Have a Gay Old Time: The manga uses an authentic birdwatching term from the early 1900s to describe the "posture" and "attitude" of a bird. Unfortunately, the said word just so happens to be jizz.
