Isekai Yakkyoku - Vol. 14 Ch. 69 - Misunderstanding

[MangaDex]

 

[Kaarme]

Farma probably thought that young woman has just been working days without proper sleep, so it will fix itself on its own. A habit he's all too familiar with personally.

 

[Lacen]

bang, gw yg update versi indo yah?

 

[TetraSky]

Oh no, she's sick.

 

[Ironclad]

Highly unethical for a pharmacist to hawk supplements like that. While Job's Tears (fucking pearl barley) have been used in traditional medicine in East Asia there have been no identified compounds suitable for use in medicine. It's about as close to medicine as eating a handful of chia seeds.

A more sane supplement for someone to take to improve "skin regeneration" would be vitamin C which is directly involved in proline hydroxylation needed for collagen synthesis as well as several other benefits to skin health like its antioxidant effects.

Stupid careless pseudoscience like this flies in the face of the premise of the story. Did Pharma's sister die because she was getting traditional medicine prescribed with the same recklessness?

 

[Telesia]

Nice chapter number

 

[blablablub]

Chapter 69, nice.

I've never looked at patients like that!

And it'd be fucking weird if he did.

 

[MeePotato]

lil bro gets the younger girls to line up, while big bro gets the older ladies

 

[yetanothergeek]

Oh come on, that's where they chose to cut the chapter!? That's not even a proper cliffhanger, it's like the page before the cliffhanger!

 

[yetanothergeek]

Also, Lady Le Roux in her under clothes on page 8, nice!

 

[Tahvohck]

woo, new chapter! thanks for the translation.

Agreed, no idea what the author is thinking, after having the character himself disparage all "herbal remedy" nonsense earlier.

Antioxidants themselves have no firm basis in science, as far as health is concerned.

The sister died due to some form of cancer, despite getting chemo though. It was supposed to be "in an inaccessable place", whatever that means.

It is not just a "supplement", and just calling it "pearl barley" is a bald-faced lie. It is sometimes referred to as Chinese pearl barley in that it can be used the same culinarily as barley (as a soup grain) and that merchants when exporting it from China falsely called it such, but Adlay Millet (Coix lacryma-jobi) is NOT common barley (Hordeum vulgare), and does in fact have multiple scientifically recognized medicinal uses. Coixenolide inhibits NF-κB transcription pathways to reduce tumor cell proliferation and suppresses autoimmune swelling. Coixol targets specific inflammation pathways and exhibits neuroprotective qualities. Coixans (A, B, & C) are strong antioxidants, scavenging free radicals aggressively, and like the former two, regulate swelling and help modulate immune responses via the TLR-2, TLR-4 and Dectin-1 cell-surface receptors. There's more, but I'm sure I've gotten my point across. Don't talk shit about science, especially in a story that has historically done its research quite well on its scientific information, unless you do your research first.

[ryuumajin]

Yeah, I knew it. "looks like proposal"

 

[razorshaleh]

Hmm... does this girl have anemia?

thank you for translation

 

[kraize]

@Ram69 gets his chapter 69

On a side note does anyone know how many more chapters we might have until that happens?

 

[KajurN]

Hmm... does this girl have anemia?

thank you for translation

Possible, but i am wondering if they'd make this much of a deal if it really is just that.

 

[HDMI1]

She's into beauty bleeding for that "all natural" white skin normally seen on porcelain dolls

 

[ciera]

Thank you for the chapter

 

[flxsemi]

Did he recognize a thief? Somehow due to the cold open I thought an enemy nation sent an agent to spread a disease through direct contact
