    Oishinbo - Vol. 25 Ch. 234 - The Spirit of Sardines

    i like your tl of the parachute metaphor! it's an interesting show of yamaoka's character outside of the face-offs, and i like the tact in his reply-- it's also just plain fun to see a bunch of different sardine dishes! it reminds me of how canned sardines are getting more popular these...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 24 Ch. 219 - The Curry Showdown (Part 2)

    thank you for your care in translating this entire arc! i'm normally on yamaoka's side of things, but i think that kaibara raised some pretty normal and vital questions to the shopowner (what do you sell? how do you understand it?), and these intro chapters have given us a good surrounding...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 22 Ch. 204 - The Korean Cuisine Battle! (Part 3)

    Massive respect to Kariya and his team for publishing this chapter, and thank you so much for translating it thoughtfully! It speaks straightforwardly to an aspect of history that the contemporary readers may not have known about, within the constraints/pressure of publication and editorial at...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 21 Ch. 194 - The Two Bridal Candidates

    I like how Kurita's love rivalry isn't adversarial, but rather cooperative-- it's funny how Niki is the one to take the initiative to visit Yamaoka, but Kurita takes the time to observe the situation and figure out a menu that they'd work together on! They make a surprisingly good team, given...

    thank you for translating! it was a blast to read, and it was fun to share the excitement of new chapters-- wishing the best for you & your future, keep it cool! (and i really liked this series/ending-- all of itagaki paru's works are about the hard work of growing up and getting along, huh?)
