those little tubs of haagen dazs are so addictive, they have a million flavors in japan... you feel like you gotta try em all

tbh i'd completely given up on seeing more scans. it was high on my list for things i'd read if my japanese got good enough, though. i always really enjoyed the focus on enjoying the pleasures of life, especially food :)

the fetishes keep increasing...

Fun chapter! The "nucleus of the friends" theory I think holds a lot of water. There was a Seinfeld episode about it. Congrats on bridging the gap!! Looking forward to your work going forward :) Do something nice for yourself to celebrate this first leg of a long journey being complete!

is this the start of a multi-chapter karaoke arc?? i guess i'll find out...

in japan it matters a lot, not because of workplaces looking at your degree on your resume, but because of practices like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_recruiting_of_new_graduates these have become less common, but generally speaking you have to be on the ride of good highschool ->...

I like that there's been such a focus lately on the unique charms of cheaper, more run-of-the-mill places... maybe the mangaka is low on money lol.

yeah I wish I could remember more of them. it feels like the brain starts unlocking totally new connections between ideas in those moments. but if you ever realize what's going on, you snap right out of it, how tragic. this chapter I also think is 100% writing from the mangaka's own experience lol

I remember when I was in denial about moe addiction... I hope they can get back in synch, there's no better feeling than craving the same food as your partner~

Some friends of mine would always smuggle meat out of AYCE yakiniku... it is actually super tasty if you fry it up in a pan later and eat it with bread or rice...

After something oily and crispy like tempura, they should serve a sorbet as contrast maybe... Regardless, Ootsuki, why don't you tell people these things :( Thanks so much for all your hard work! A chapter a day is an amazing pace!!

Another super appetizing chapter 🤤 I've never had turban before, even seeking out Japanese delicacies in Japan I never encountered it. Looks delicious~

god i love paru-sensei's fight scenes so much. they're so weird but she conveys so much speed and weight.

all y'all saying that rinkai is overrated are gonna get NELLY'D

Definitely agree that Ootsuki is a proxy for the mangaka in many cases. Hopefully not in the case of cheating and scamming poor desperate people too, lol. Another comfy chapter. I like the highlighting of not just the comfy low-key cafe, but the comfiness of a "just OK" chain restaurant...

imo they're worth the risk... a truly unique flavor and texture, so refreshing and crisp while also containing all this salty oceanic goodness... I'd eat some rn if I could, regardless of norovirus detection factor. They aren't for everyone, though. I remember my mom saying it felt like sucking...

I dunno, as endearing and relatable Ootsuki is in this spinoff... he is a really scummy guy. Ripping off the other workers with overpriced indulgences and rigged gambles... I dunno if Kaiji could ever really bro down with a guy like that.

Another super comfy chapter~ Good luck Kimura-san! And also thanks for these notes in the comments, I'd definitely be interested in your insights in learning Japanese too as a relatively beginner learner.

What a comfy chapter! I liked that as soon as they started playing mahjong, the whole style of paneling and presentation switched to the typical FKMT mahjong style lol. Hearing about the rent was less comfy though, why can't it be that cheap in other big cities D:

Love the design of this guy, drooling weirdo battle freak... I feel like Bojji is still actually stronger though and went a bit easy on him.
