Thank you!!  And YUP I just discovered it last night lmao

Yeah I think the Seekers are the best fit for the Heathers overall, though I go with Starscream = Heather C, Thundercracker = Heather M, and Skywarp = Heather D. Then I go with Windblade as Veronica and Chromia as JD. Alternatively I have Starscream as Veronica, Megatron as JD, and Functionalists/Senators as the Heathers and the Jocks. 

Golden Kamuy is, briefly, a story about a Japanese ex-soldier and a young Ainu (indigenous) girl on a quest to track down a number of criminals who have tattooed upon their body an encoded map to a grand stash of gold all across the winter wilderness of Hokkaido in 1900′s Japan.

What really makes this series shine is its expressive art style, its hilariously entertaining comedic timing, as well as it’s deeply informative story about Ainu culture – hunting and cooking, especially.

The indiginous Ainu are NOT japanese, and they’re discriminated in a similar way to how america discriminates its native americans, or mexico its own indiginous populations. Through the eyes of our self proclaimed “Immortal” protagonist and his budding friendship with this incredibly competent and determined young girl, we come to learn more about the Ainu and their struggles and rituals and how they view the world as compared to how the japanese traditionally see it. As a non-japanese person, myself, I also learned a LOT about Japanese history and how the country shifted following the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. I hadn’t even KNOWN Russia had anything to do with Japanese history, which, in retrospect, reveals just how ignorant I am about World History XD;;

Historical setting aside, Golden Kamuy is a deeply heartfelt story, even amid the hilarity and the violence. I love every character a bunch. Everyone has a backstory and a motivation for why they are doing what they are doing, but there is still a LOT of character development and really entertaining character interactions. I keep flipflopping as to who my favourite character is because I love everyone so much!

Fair warning, though: there IS a lot of violence in this story. Not just to humans – Ainu hunt to survive and the manga has an emphasis on cuisine, so we get to see how best to cook and skin a bear and how best to season a flavourful fish dish, etc. So I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this manga to vegetarians or folks who are squeamish about graphic violence.
