I should wait for the next episode and not jump in too early, but their counter against the extinction argument is literally just "its ok because there are a lot of whales"??? Is that seriously what they're going with? These people whine about protecting matsutake mushrooms because they're rare...

I'm curious what justification they'd have for the whaling aside form "but culture/tradition!!" They often go on and on about the importance of protecting forests and seas so that clean high quality fish and clams and vegetables whatever can still be enjoyed for generations to come. If they...

49 is a passing mark in Japan? When I was in school, the minimum is 60. Even 50 is considered fail.

Literally this was what I thought. The friend's mom can't afford the cake, sure, but why can't SHE ask her own parents to let her friend have it?

I mean, back then it had seemed like she was only being influenced by the asshole boyfriend. When MC was first sent to E class she didn't seem awful to him (yet).

I am assuming that the researcher has some other reason for why she switched the research. The CEO had been sincere in wanting to fund dementia research for as long as it takes, but maybe the researcher thinks that is not sustainable or something? She seems concerned about money.

It's nothing to do with real religion. The whole point of it was just that this fantasy church worships light, and some of the priest take it to the extreme and considers "dark spirits" to just be evil outright and wants to get rid of them. Basically this chapter is to say that Alois is not a...

You are technically right, but it's not just because it's the same food. It's an elaborate symbolism based on the samurai send off and returning ceremonies. It's the same 3 food, but the order of the food being presented is different, giving it a different meaning. The first time, the abalone...

Re: the guns. I read about it a while ago. The Oda side not only has better bullets, but also more of them. Meanwhile the Takeda side had inferior bullets (the text I read said they were forced to melt down copper coins to cast into emergency bullets), and due to shortage eventually ran out of...

Why is that guy's name suddenly turned into "Kakushin"? It's Kashin, not Kakushin. Kashin Kouji. If you got confused by the kanji, you can look this name up online and you'd find it.

This was in the ala Carte books, so I know why, but I won't spoil 😆

They're gonna make the karaage with the chicken half of the cockatrice next aren't they. The artist made the cockatrice and basilisk look so cuddly though...

This really shows its age. Today strawberry daifuku is basically common fare that nobody would think twice about, but this chapter must have been originally from the time when it was still a relatively new creation. I guess the author wanted to introduce a romance but maybe the prolonged series...

I was curious about the mole/dragon thing and apparently 土竜 (literally translates to "earth dragon") IS legitimately the kanji for "mole". It's just pronounced " Mogura", not "Doryuu". Our protagonist might not notice it because maybe it's old fashioned and people just don't use kanji for...

So if the prince is not interested in Elena, then what the hell happened in the first timeline?

Q The priest said that "some fish" just can't be eaten, so it sounded like they tried the whole fish and it turned out to taste weird. Maybe the translation is missing a couple of words.

I sonder if that catfish-like thing is flat out bad tasting because isekai or if they just haven't tried deep frying. Regular catfish taste super good fried or grilled kabayaki style. There are some Japanese restaurants here use them as eel replacement for a more localised flavour.

Wow, Oohara must be really bad about the porridge that the chief is helping cover for Yamaoka and Kurita.

I'm more interested in Will than that very standard fare sparkly prince 😔 I hope Will still shows up often and he isn't just there to introduce the prince.

Something about this feels sus as hell, despite the positive vibes and very logical explanation.
