More like the ADHD 4-koma. There’s no way this thing will last, it’s like the manic pixie version of the original.

Well, it’s not that the army/navy didn’t offer the food up to the rank and file, it’s that the rationing system up until 1889 gave the rice generously, while the main/side dishes were offered in the form of a cash allowance - the poorer soldiers/sailors took the cash allowance and sent it home...

Well, B1 is water-soluable, so dried fish will have much lower amounts of B1 versus the fresh stuff. Rigo did mention that because he doesn’t have much money he hadn’t had access to fresh meat until he got married and his wife started feeding him that pork and onion soup with garlic...

Yeah, I also forgot about that entire “mixing barley or beans into the white rice” angle, which was one of the historical cures for beriberi in the military/prison system. Note that this was not a popular practice since it increased the cooking time for rice, it makes the rice less appealing...

Well, that’s probably because the author skimmed the historical parallels between the current situation and how beriberi came to be a thing in Meiji era Japan and how it was eventually eradicated…probably expected a Japanese audience to get the reference and fill in the gaps (Takaki Kanehiro and...

The linkage between Beriberi and Vitamin B1 deficiency was actually quite well known in Japanese textbooks thanks to the efforts of Count Takaki Kanehiro (the chief surgeon of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Meiji era)

Sachan went a little crazy at Ekibenya Tokyo Station, didn’t she? For the record, I recognized 3 of her 5 selections, and yeah, they are not cheap (1000-1500 yen each). The delayed punchline is that while most ekibens are designed with the intent to feature local specialties from a local shop...

Well, death by snu-snu is always an occupation hazard…

Yep, 16 was a big one.

Raws are at 27 going to 28 on August 27th, and keiretsu/Sappy snails did 4 chapters in the past 21 days, so…maybe a month or 2? They are also doing “Marry me with divorce in mind” and NOMADs, so I expect them to have quite a bit on their plates. Either ways I am thankful for what they...

She’s not chubby but she’s certainly a work of art. Thanks for the SL

(In case you didn’t get the joke from the dog, being offered ochazuke is a subtle way of telling someone to go home…but that’s usually done at the end of the day and is really only a Kinki (the area around Kyoto) thing.

Oh, shit…Is that chawanmushi (savory egg custard) or some kind of blancmange? If Mahiru keeps indulging Amane’s love for eggs my boy will die from Cholesterol poisoning.

Well, the antics of weird mommy Senko never ceases to amaze…

Oh, I just got my hands on the Volume 15 tankobon, and just to confirm - nope, no second epilogue. However, there is a Shiba Tokio/Mizoue Shougo one-shot (probably the same one teased by Gangan 3 weeks ago) detailing how they became friends, supposedly written back in 2017 when Fukada-sensei...
