'Perfect Crime' Series Title (ch90 spoilers)

So they decided to call the perfect crime series 'PCP' (which are the initals for Perfect Crime Party - as in political party).

Y'know, they were all worried about how "Perfect Crime Club" was the name of a foreign film?

... shouldn't they worry about how PCP is a halucinatory, dissociative recreational drug? One of the extremely dangerous ones, at that. Here's the wiki article.

I guess the Japanese kids might not know English drug slang, but I wonder if the American licensing company will pitch a fit over it.

Oh, I didn't know that 😀 But I guess you can find at least a few meanings to all acronyms.
But I don't like the name. When I hear it I think of criminals having a party. And the politics-related word referring to a group of teenagers doesn't sound good either.

"You wanna name your manga what now?" is what I thought the moment they mentioned it.
You'd think the mangaka would at least do a quick google search before making such a decision?
Should have stuck with PCC, there's no movie with that title that I know of, not in the real world anyway.
Or maybe the mangaka was on an acid trip when he came up with that name, who knows.
Oh wait, that was LSD.

Perfect Crime Club sounded much cooler. And if they decide for party it´s more a like a party in a rpg than a political party

You know a title is bad when converstions like this would be a real possibility.

Kid1: "Y'know, lately I have been totally into PCP"
Kid 2: "really, you too. I thought I was the only one"
1 "yeah it's awesome."
2 "I know right. It just makes me feel so totally relaxed and it just takes the pain and worries away. And sometimes I see these things, awesome things I could never get with anything else.
So where do you get yours? I know this guy, he sells real quality stuff."
! "I'm not sure were talking about the same thing anymore."

hahaa I wondered this myself,
they could also do a chapter in Bakuman, if PCP makes it big in the series, about foreign censorship, which is something I'm sure manga artists face at some point

seems like the author just realized that with their manga content they can't get it animated (ch101), but no one realised that the title is more problematic 🙄
