    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 131 - Bowl Preparation Test (Part 2)

    Yep... Kaibara is angry at Shiro for a couple of reasons. First, because when Shiro's mother died, he blamed Kaibra and got back at him by destroying millions of yen worth of Kaibara's pottery. Shiro feels that Kaibara was abusive to his mother, but he doesn't quite have the full picture of his...

    Kaji Ryuusuke's Agenda - Vol. 3 Ch. 19 - The Sleep Inducer

    I know, right. Crazy stuff. I've gotten a bit of a preview, and just let me say, you might have your mind blown even more soon...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 130 - Bowl Preparation Test (Part 1)

    I'm not sure... But we'll find out! However, when it comes to the chapter title, as a side note, take it with a grain of salt, because I can't read kanji at all and I did use four different translation apps to try and figure out what it meant because the initial translation was not...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 129 - Lemons & Health

    Yep, it was. Granted, I'm sure that was only one fan poll, done with a limited participation, but Tomii finishing so high was startling to me.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 129 - Lemons & Health

    I remember the character that won the poll was Kaibara. I don't remember the rest of the order other than Yamaoka actually finished 7th since he was right behind Tomii (something that really stuck in my head). I think there was a link to it on Twitter, but damned if I can find it now. If I ever...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 129 - Lemons & Health

    Here's some fun trivia for you... I recall reading that they did a poll among the Japanese public about who the most popular character in the entire series was... Tomii finished 6th!!!! Ahead of a lot of characters that you'd think would be more beloved... I wish I'd saved that link now that I...

    No worries. Thanks for pointing out the TL error.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 128 - Taste of Saury

    Just noting, I've gone back and amended that page. As always, if anyone notices the machine being wonky with an odd TL like that, and I've missed it, please do let me know so I can go back and fix it.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 128 - Taste of Saury

    Oh, I didn’t think he was flip flopping. I just wanted to make a note that Yamaoka had stated mackerel was his favorite and that it made sense for him to be upset about it if the quality had dipped. As for the machine being wonky, that’s entirely believable, but I wasn’t sure if they were...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 13 Ch. 113 - Battle of the Whales (Part 2)

    You make me laugh. By the way, just for your edification, I'm not a zoomer. I was born in the 80s. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 126 - Mother's Apple

    Well, he hates it because it doesn't remind him of his mother's. That's the whole point. He wants his mom's apple pie and apple tea because he grew up with it and with her having divorced his father, he can't get it... He's ordering it because he wants to find the flavor he remembers... I...

    Maybe serve only the bones and just forget the fish.

    Kaji Ryuusuke's Agenda - Vol. 3 Ch. 18 - Dissolution of the Kinko Club

    The highlight of this chapter for me was the sheer number of goofy faces that Hosoi pulls.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 124 - Boke and Tsukkomi

    For a time, duo comedy was very popular here in the US, and most of them did follow that formula. Manzai came about centuries before the United States was even a country, but our comedy evolved quite separately. The double act in the west originated in the British music halls, and then came to...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 124 - Boke and Tsukkomi

    It's actually pretty similar to how many comedy partnerships broke up and then got back together. Abbott and Costello had an acrimonious breakup in 1955, got back together, and then formally dissolved their act again in 1957. Costello went solo doing standup and he even had a guest spot on the...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 124 - Boke and Tsukkomi

    I'm not well versed enough in Japanese to be able to accurately pick out accents in the way I am with English. Just recently, my gf (who is Australian, so she has a different accent to me, an American) and I watched Ep. 58 of the anime where the character they're trying to help (I think his name...
