Just a guess, does the "man" refer to the outside fluffy funny thingy part?

Top tip - don't let them go cold and heat them up. Much much worse. I had a next-day one today, it was a bit grim.

For sure.

I had a curry-man today, it was quite good. Yellow outside and actually quite hot (karai) curry inside.

Whenever i see a 7-11 nikuman, i can't help but think about my friend telling me about the 'san-byo rule'.

'San-byo' means 'three seconds', and it refers to the time someone (in this case a friend who worked at 7-11) can pick up food (in this case a nikuman) after it has fallen on the ground and still serve it. Of course, it is not store policy, but a generally followed custom.
Enjoy!

Because I lived in Nagano and am a vegetarian, i preferred Oyaki to nikuman any day.

Big thumbs up to oyaki! There's a fantastic oyaki shop on the 'back route' between Nagano Station and Immigration that I always went to when I had to go to la Migra. The 'skin' is made with soba and the fillings are strongly flavoured with miso. Better by far than mans.
