    Akutora no Ko - Ch. 1

    Oh, the translation got too literal. 桃都 is the mythical Chinese Mt. Taodu, the Capital of Escaped Ghosts administered by the Men Shen (門神) or door god pair Shentu (神荼) and Yulei (郁垒). You know, the scary armored buff dudes painted on the two sections of a traditional Chinese house main door. In...

    Tonari no Hyakkai Kenbunroku - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - Episode 04

    The implication isn't that fate is protecting him, but that he has a special trait that negates the supernatural. So it's like his supernatural ability is resistance to the supernatural. That's why he needs a weirdstuff magnet like Hachi to experience the things he wants to experience, even if...

    Shiretto Sugee Koto Itteru Gal. - Shiritsu Paranomaru Koukou no Nichijou - Vol. 2 Ch. 15 - Too many house rules kinda deal

    I feel like black hole kid shoulda been able to do a lot more in this game's setting. He's the one whose actual superpower can literally end the world, after all. Can't he just solo the demon thing?

    Kyou, Eki de Mita Kawaii Onna no Ko. - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

    You might be thinking of Kobayashi the idol otaku from Chapter 4. Actually, Kameyama works for an economics magazine, so in this case these quirky people are all serious authors writing rather droll articles, even (surprisingly) Kobayashi. In fact, the reason he was looking for the idol otaku...

    Kyou, Eki de Mita Kawaii Onna no Ko. - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

    Editors do play gofer for successful authors in Japan, even for mangaka. We just don't notice this when reading manga because a lot of mangaka characters in manga who have editors are either small-time or just starting. Plus, they're often depicted as being always late with manuscripts such that...

    Kyou, Eki de Mita Kawaii Onna no Ko. - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

    He works with writers, not mangaka. The ones whose works were actually mentioned have been non-fiction writers so far. EDIT: Also, after rereading I just realized that the "materials" are books. He mentioned going to Jimbocho to collect them. Jimbocho is the area in Tokyo where all the...

    Sushi-ya VS Ojousama - Vol. 1 Ch. 2

    Well, not exactly. I just got back from Japan last week. What's going on right now is that there's an Indian curry trend going around and a bunch of Japanese curry or curry-adjacent joints are adding Indian or Indian-adjacent dishes to their menu. What do I mean by that? Well, they have butter...

    Wait, is this the Gaku timeline or the pre-Gaku timeline? It references the freshman uprising, but in Gaku's timeline this never happened. EDIT: NVM, this is before Gaku came.
