I just recognized that they're using low tables with a well for legs for sitting customers. I didn't know that the Japanese used that. I though that it was a "cheat" for American Japanese restaurants.

Aah! I'd only recently read about 7-11 bringing Japanese Konbini food into the U.S. I hope there's an announcement when they implement it. I don't generally go to convenience stores, even ones at gas stations, but I would seek out a 7-11 for a taste!

'simmer chicken until it is soft' The "Isekai Shokudou" (Restaurant to Another World) often has patrons commenting that the meat seems to have come from an animal raised for food alone. That is, beef from a cow that hadn't lived a life pulling a plow first, etc. Similarly, a chicken might have...

So there needs to be a subreddit or something "r/MyStoreIsInAnotherWorld" for such people to contact each other

Well, this is a unique situation. I do not recall any other manga where the local gods are so unaware of MC.

Yes. They're engaged! Get beyond the handshake/holding hands, OK? Mom and Dad are on board, too! She really needs to stake a claim on him (and he on her) that will be apparent when they're in the rough-and-tumble of the Academy. But then, the "love rival" is de rigeur in the school romance...

A world of swords and sorcery, and track lighting

Does the name Unruh have something to do with pigs? The Ranma 1/2 series has a character named Akari Unryu whose family raised and trained sumo wrestling pigs

That library! It has recessed "can" lights in the ceiling, like my local public library. There are some strangely modern touches to interior architecture and furniture sometimes. I'd swear that the furnishings in his room at the inn are made of pressboard. I was recently reading a "doctor gets...

Well, that deus went full ex machina on the rude guy! Ren's fully correct. This should be a service offered by the Guild, since better-educated adventurers will do better jobs. They would be better able to estimate the cost/benefit of quests, prepare with sufficient but appropriate supplies...

He does acquiesce to the engagements, but he doesn't actually initiate them. In every case, the women involved were of higher power and status than he, or had the backing of parents or families with higher status. At no time did he offer an engagement. Instead, he has just been kind, heroic, and...

"Gen" and "Nobu" need to have a phone call or something. I can't remember where in Japan Izakaya Nobu is located. In Tokyo?

So, Mousse of the Chinese Amazons hidden weapons technique? (Yes, I'm so old that I make Ranma 1/2 references)

It is nice to think that you can give your children a happy early life, and also give them sufficient skills and character so they will survive or even thrive as adults. When they are very young, anything that they do seems to carry them forward. They can be seen becoming stronger, smarter, more...

I really enjoy stories where someone is creative and inventive. I look forward to seeing more challenges overcome.

I get the feeling that a lot of the characters act on whims without a lot of actual justification. MC's mother obsesses over her son becoming the emperor, even though he's number seven and has no chance. This seems to trigger palace intrigues out of fear that she is planning to have the other...

A modern-style bicycle might be a bit much to ask for. But even a velocipede would be of advantage, especially if the suspension could be improved for more comfort.

"good with a bow" and taking down game for dinner close to town. These kind of things can get you arrested and executed. Historically, the forest around a town is managed by the lord and his sheriff. To prevent deforestation, firewood could only be gathered as deadwood on the ground or what...

Rolf is still legitimately indebted to the Golden Goose (or whatever the name is). He should get as much money as he needs to clear the debt, and then get out of town.

It just occurred to me that when he was 'rescuing' her, she was getting into a stance to destroy the goblin that was attacking.
