@zekkendo Thank you for introducing me to Toorigakari ni One Point Advice shite iku Type no Yankee. I don't think I would have ever come across that little gem of a manga on my own if I hadn't had my interest piqued by the description of it in your post.

@ReaperCreeper No, it's actually Study of a Young Woman by Vermeer. You were pretty close, though. He also painted Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Najimi in a Mondrian-themed jacket on Page 3. I want one. By the way, the painting on the first page is based on Vermeer's Study of a Young Woman.

Cazzo!

I'm rather late to the comment party, but I was thinking -- if the elderly seamstresses were the original employees of Pixy, surely they received some shares of stock as a benefit when the company initially went public? If they held on to those shares and never considered selling them, then...

@Gauvain: No, I don't speak French, unfortunately. In my travelling experience, however, the French seem to appreciate it when I make an effort to speak to them in their language (e.g. "Parlez-vous anglais?") instead of English, so I thought it would be polite to try giving you a response in...

@Gauvain: Je vous en prie!

@Gauvain: I got those figures from some books on Japanese history, but you can easily find similar information online. Here's an example that might interest you: https://jref.com/articles/kokudaka.284/ I try not to use Wikipedia because anyone can add data to that site without providing...

@Gauvain: Not necessarily. Rice production depends on several factors, but in general, a "standard" rice field during the Sengoku period could produce ten koku of rice. I remember reading somewhere that the size of a "standard" rice field back then was roughly one hectare, so you'd need at...

Just for clarification: the unit of measure used by the author to describe the size of his fief was koku, not acres. Koku is not a measure of the physical size of a piece of land. Rather, koku refers to the amount of rice needed to feed one person for an entire year. Since he was given 2,500...

Chiming in to agree with the other readers that this version is by far the best of the "alternative" Kaguya-sama scanlations that popped up after JB closed shop. What I like most about this version is the way the sentences are phrased, as well as the words that are used. You did a very good...

Thanks for the chapter, @saintguardian ! That scene where Sirius/Adele smacks Edo on his face with a bra kind of bothers me, mainly because it makes it appear that she's upset that he foiled the robbery attempt by one of her charges. It's pretty likely that she had nothing to do with the...

@saintguardian: By all means, please go ahead!

Thanks for the new chapter, @saintguardian! Edo's got some impressive situational awareness when it comes to protecting his beloved lingerie. Too bad the feelings of the women who wear them remain his blind spot. It also looks like he spotted something familiar about Sirius. Either that, or...

Page 18: "Next, Emergency Love Talk" I really, really hope that it refers to Komi having an emergency meeting with Shogi and Yoyo.

Word travels fast about Edo's magic fingers, doesn't it? Looks like the Parisian modeling world is a tightly-knit one. I'm not sure what Monika meant by calling Edo a "Warhol boy", unless she was dismissing his fame among the other models as a fleeting thing in reference to Andy Warhol's...

Three million yen for something so diaphanous?! Wakamiya's lucky she didn't drip any blood on it after biting her finger that badly, because I don't think you could get bloodstains out of that particular material without damaging it. Incidentally, if the mangaka follows the principle of...

@saintguardian: By all means, please go ahead! Only one chapter after I signed up, and I get lucky enough to have a comment of mine picked by chance. Perhaps I should try buying a lottery ticket tonight...

"Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd." William Congreve, The Mourning Bride

I seriously doubt that the cloth or stitching had anything to do with Edo's reaction. They're in a Parisian boutique specializing in haute couture that would have very high standards in terms of the materials they use and the way they're put together. If they produced shoddy work or tried...
