Her name is a reference to Admiral Matthew Perry, the (American) commander who opened Japan and triggered the Meiji Restoration.

Pretty sure that was literal — the Japanese seem really fond of HMS Dreadnought.

Sanae is great.

@SuperOniichan it's just that an aquarium is (memetically) a date spot, so girls together at one gives certain implications. I don't think I've seen it used nonironically in a decade or so, though; it's one of those tropes that only shows up to be subverted.

Nah, Fuka specifically said crepes in Harajuku were fancy.

I honestly expected Yanda to finally pull out a Bubble Thing — a sort of fabric loop on a stick that you can use to make bubbles bigger than Yotsuba. The best video I could find is unfortunately a commercial, but I'm not affiliated with them: https://youtu.be/tKG_QdsBkv4

Hooray for Kirari cameo!

Ah, Kozue's psychic-genius-encouragement powers. (I want more content with the three low-twintail sisters!)

@RedEco It's not even the largest bronze Buddha in Japan (I think that's the 120-meter Ushiku Daibutsu in Ibaraki), but it is the largest statue of, specifically, Vairocana Buddha (aka Birushana), and the building it's housed in was until 1998 the largest wooden building in the world. The...

Triple Booking do know him from previous chapters, so I'd be concerned if they were the judges — I apparently take conflicts of interest in fictional contests way too seriously — but it's likely that it's a heteronormative audience vote, where men vote for the female contestants, women for the...

"No, we really played doctor. She had all these medical books, and she'd diagnose me with stuff. I never had the heart to tell her she was doing it wrong." -- Xander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Nonono, that's not Koyori cosplay, that's Yuno cosplay.
