Thanks to my deer friends for the unexpected gift. It looks like you are doing two volumes at a time (last year as well) so can I hope for the rest of vol. 13 soon? No pressure here...

Thank you for the translation! Salaryman life sure seems risky, Shima stumbles across mobsters almost everywhere he goes. There is one thing, I can't remember if it's been explained in an earlier volume: I know that Hatsushiba is Matsushita and Solar is Sony, but what about Tôritsu? Is it...

Good whetstones were important for thousands of years, when knives were expensive and could not just be thrown away when they became dull. The best and most sought after whetstones in Europe came from Eidsborg in Telemark (Norway), where there were an industry producing them at least as early as...

Last page is the funniest I have read in a while. First Yui with the pregnancy fear and then straight on to the Chiaki attack. I like that Okada goes for comedy this time, but I'll wait with the rating until I'm sure that he doesn't kill off any of the girls in the last chapter.

Night vision is quite a lot dependent on eye colour. In countries with strong sunlight you need lots of melanin in your eyes for protection against the sun, so just about everyone have brown eyes. As humans settled further north, mutations that gave an advantage in low light appeared, they were...

Oh come on...lol

A short but nice story. Thanks to both Freedom Scans and Jiro for your hard work.

Akino is such a nice girl, really much too nice for the business she's in. I really liked Rubys Adios jacket, I remember that I saw a jacket with an Adios logo on Aliexpress a couple years ago. Much smaller logo, but with the three stripes and all. To many Chinese who can't read Latin letters...

Thank you for another volume, halfway through the managing director arc. The mangaka was pretty clear about what the rise of China would mean for much of the industrial production in the rest of the world, both in this volume and the former, so 20+ years ago. I guess he kept contact with his old...

It has been known for a long time that lots of cosmic dust falls down on Earth, but most saw it as impossible to find it among all the earthly dust. The one who worked out how to do it was amateur astronomer Jon Larsen. He wrote a book called "On the Trail of Stardust" about how to do it. His...

Thanks for the translation, great work as usual.

No evil shahs live on.

That's actually a very old trope, often with a christian background (think monks and nuns), but also apparent in other religions. To take an example, it was used in a 70s James Bond movie, "Live and let die", (kind of a crossover Bond/blaxploitation movie with drugs and voodoo) where Roger Moore...

First, thanks a lot for translating this manga. It's a nice read and I really enjoyed it, I took a look at your other mangas as well and will try them out. But don't think that will stop me from a bit of nitpicking. :) There are no true foxes close to Antarctica, but on the Falklands there were...

Came here from Gabai to take a look at your new manga. The description made me think of Hayami Rasenjin, but the first chapter had a different vibe than his manga. No jokes here, but a decent first chapter nonetheless. There are thirteen volumes, which seems a lot for a manga concentrating on...
