Yutanpo are a version of the rubber hot water bottles people use for injuries or warmth. Kei knitted a cover for one because filling that with boiling water and putting it on your bare skin will suck. You might see a similar cover/holder for the hot/cold gel packs that are way more common now. I...

It's probably too late to correct this, but the ice cream guy is probably referencing Tom Selleck, from his time on Magnum PI. He usually wore a Hawaiian print shirt with the top buttons unbuttoned, and had a hairy chest that Gesundheit felt compelled to draw in. The hair and mustache also...

There's one other place that comes to mind and it's the title of G Joshi, which is about girls attempting to masturbate because of bad advice from a teen magazine. G might be onomatopoeia or a homophone for masturbation.

I said it's less apparent in Kaguya, but from what I've gathered Aqua's self-sacrificing attitude isn't that far off from Ishigami's "hero of justice" way of thinking in middle school. Though in Ishigami's case it was only his social life that was taken away. If influencers and youtubers want to...

I'm not rejecting the idea that this is a bad ending, I'm rejecting the idea that somehow it's out of the norm for something Akasaka would have written. I've read ib and a good part of Kaguya, and this feels pretty in line with the other "tragic self-sacrificing" stuff he likes. That it's poorly...

I've only read the first three chapters of this series, but it sounds like most people are upset with an image of this series that was never true, and let hype yotubers and influencers convince them otherwise. This sounds like exactly the kind of series Akasaka would write. You played yourselves.

Thanks for the translation. That's what I thought too, and that their first time was in chapter 40.

We're coming off an arc that had Chikage's mom suddenly appear and curse Makoto to use his life as a bargaining chip so Chikage never associates with him again and becomes a "proper" witch. It was resolved solved in part by Uruchika being more powerful than all 3 head witches. It's incredibly...

It looks like the bottle in the first chapter says Tamiya Cement, and this looks pretty close. I think it's something like Weld-On plastic cements for solvent welding. In practice, it acts like glue for certain plastics, and you need to set it and let it dry out for at least a day, just like...

Get better in what sense? It's an ecchi series shooting for slapstick comedy, and that's pretty obvious from the start. The other chapters are exactly that.

Why were you translating something you think is trash from the start? Surely there's others series you like that you would be worth your time and effort.

It's a "better" design for fumes than the venting fan she was using the previous chapters. If you've been to a chemistry lab, you've probably seen one. It's mostly the same design as a fume hood, which is great for working with volatile chemicals and aerosols, like from spray cans and...

Is that fan powerful enough that you can leave the front open without a sash/curtain and still have good suction?

I can't let this go. If anything, your (and Cuteness Appreciation's) scanlation is a reason they're picking it up in the first place, even if it wasn't the deciding factor. Comic Cune is a pretty niche magazine, but it's had 4 series get an anime adaptation. None of those series have an official...

These companies are perfectly capable of releasing simulpubs or batch releases, seeing as how many different pay-by-chapter sites there are. Viz was never picking this up though, they've been trying to shuck ecchi manga off its catalog for a while. This is why Seven Seas picked up the volume...
