"Are Finnish bathhouses different from Japan's?" I remember the Conan O'Brien Finland travel special from a decade or so ago (oh, geez, it was 2006... time flies). He went to a bathhouse (correction, it was a sauna, there is bathing involved but it's in the frozen Baltic sea) and, if I remember...

I think Chintarou has a rapid healing power.

I know those giant rural Aeon malls they have in Japan are basically the equivalent of small town Walmart Supercentres in the United States and Canada (and several other countries), where the town it's in might not have enough population by itself to support such a store but it attracts...

It's similar to how the original versions of many European folk tales that became children's fairy tales are actually fairly grisly. For example, in the Charles Perrault version of Little Red Riding Hood, the story ends with Red Riding Hood being eaten by the wolf instead of being saved by the...

I don't think @frjoethesecond was saying that they consider the PS3 to be "the new stuff", just that they ignore "the new stuff" and play old PS3 games instead. But mid-7th generation games still look fairly modern to me anyway, or at least racing games like Forza Motorsports 3 and FM4 don't...

She's just taunting us Saurva fans with that cover with Jahy wearing Saurva's outfit at this point. But, since the vacation arc is over, maybe we'll see Saurva again soon and it will be more than just a quick cameo this time? I hope next time they're on vacation, Saurva comes along as well. At...

Here's an animated version of Kachi Kachi Yama with English subtitles. It seems to be a little sanitized compared to the version mentioned in the translator's note. The tanuki does still kill the wife (shown with the shadow of the tanuki landing blows with the mochi pestle, although the...

If you go to the "Related" manga section, most of Cool Kyou-Shinja's major titles are listed under "shared universe". I can't completely vouch for that but Elma did show up in a cameo in the 4-koma bonus manga a couple of chapters ago (not sure if the 4-koma are meant to be canon to the main...

@Jackist I don't think Hikaru was in a coma per se, it was more just a temporary catatonic state, where he's awake but mentally withdrawn.

Nobody's going to mention the last panel on page 10, ?

So this is kind of like Non Non Biyori with demon girls? If there's one thing we never saw in Non Non Biyori, it was demon girls. Non Non Biyori was only a spin-off of a manga with demon girls, Koakuma Meringue, but the demon girls Luche and Piko never visited Hikage when she went home to...

Jiro Sugiura has finally posted the first four pages of the rough layout version of chapter 48. It's continuing the story with . On page 4, there's a new character [/ispoiler].

While Sugiura Jirou has posted a few pages of what I assume is tankoubon manga volume bonus content, he still hasn't started on the roughs for chapter 48 so this is a rare occasion that I'm as in the dark about what happens next as the people who only read the scanlations of the finished...

Doesn't Chiaki recognize Hosaka as being the "Curry Fairy" or was that story anime-only?

I generally assume Hosaka's family owns a restaurant even if I'm not sure whether that's been explicitly spelt out.

This series feels like a gentle post-apocalypse with human-like robots and the remnants of humanity keeping the lights on just like in Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou although it doesn't quite feel like humanity has dwindled quite as much in Enjigakari compared to YKK since the trains are still running...

There's also the overlap with femdom mind control fetish considering all of the girls from the village seem to have some kind of hypnosis ability; Chintarou herself has to use a coin to hypnotize Hikaru but Manana and Hanana can do it with their eyes.

Sugiura Jirou posted three pages of a junior high school girl who tries to threaten Mina (only for Mina to bring on the pain). I don't think it has anything to do with chapter 48, which he still hasn't posted anything from. From the text in the tweet, I think this is an early idea he had for...

Eh, I was hoping Rinko would hypnotize him and that it would actually work, meaning Shizuku was just a failure as a hypnotist.
