    Oishinbo - Vol. 18 Ch. 163 - The Microcosm of a Rice Bowl

    Oh, I remember this Arthur guy from Ala Carte. So this is how he first showed up. About the eggs... I wonder if it might have something to do with the eggs Kurita had brought for the little food competition they had in the office? Her "unique" recipe was mixing Worcestershire sauce into fried...

    Tensei Nanmin Shoujo wa Shimin-ken wo 0 Kara Mezashite Hatarakimasu - Vol. 2 Ch. 6

    Exactly. Like, if they just get mad at her, I can understand it somewhat, but not working is the super weird part. It's not like they stay in bed depressed all day. If they're not out working then where do they go/what are they doing?

    Isekai Izakaya "Nobu" - Vol. 17 Ch. 104 - Lonbaudt's Shortsightedness

    The last comment about glasses from Taishou: A non-prescription glasses/glasses for show is called "datemegane" (sunglasses is also technically considered one of this). This one is probably actually derived from Date Masamune, though indirectly. Date Masamune did some rather flashy antics in...

    Ningyohime no Gomen ne Gohan - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    Shark meat is actually processed and eaten in Japan, so people can stop complaining about the shark being wasted after the fins are harvested. The recipe mentioned hanpen for a reason. Shark meat can be made into surimi/hanpen, fish meatballs, and other kinds of food products.

    Tensei Nanmin Shoujo wa Shimin-ken wo 0 Kara Mezashite Hatarakimasu - Vol. 2 Ch. 6

    So has she been going back to the settlement to sleep every night? I'm assuming she is, and her parents just ignore her for the most part like before, but man. I hope there'll be more explanation for why they not only dislike her, but also literally refuse to do anything at all. Are they...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 18 Ch. 161 - The Raw Meat Battle Continues

    I know it's for the plot, but they really should've redone the match with more neutral judges. Toyama in the previous chapter has a point, just because ONE guy is offended doesn't mean the food itself is bad per se. He's a bigshot, but in the end he's just some guy, not a food critic with...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 18 Ch. 160 - Raw Meat Battle (Part 2)

    I hate the brat so much too. And the women defending the kid just because he's a kid is asinine. Being hit with a bat is no small thing, what if he broke bones?

    Isekai Kaeri no Yuusha wa, Dungeon ga Shutsugen shita Genjitsu Sekai de, Influencer natte Kane wo Kasegimasu! - Ch. 23

    The moon: It's nothing to do with "tsuki" sounding similar to "suki". The story goes that Souseki Natsume told his students that "I love you" in English is better translated as "the moon is beautiful" in Japanese because saying "aishiteru" directly is too crass. Nobody can be sure if this is...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 126 - A Mother's Apples

    I like reading about the Adzuchi-Momoyama era. A lot of the famous samurai that often appear in anime, games, and movies live in this time. Because of that I end up reading a bit about the art and culture from this time too. Sen no Rikyuu in cluded.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 126 - A Mother's Apples

    I never heard of Jonathan apples before this series LOL. Granny Smith is definitely the one I usually see being suggested as cooking apples for the same reasons stated. It's more tart, it's crispier/harder so it won't get soggy in pies, and stuff like that. Did it go out of popularity or is it...

    Afterlife Diner - Vol. 2 Ch. 73

    Man, this chapter is literally intruding on other religions. It's not all just the different sects in the same religion. Different religions have different concepts of the afterlife, and not all of them can be forced to fit in with this series' banking system. This bank seems like it was based...

    Detective Conan - Ch. 1143 - Like A Wisp Of Smoke

    Kuri means chestnut. In Japanese it's common to call chestnuts "maron", which is the Japanese spelling of marron, the French name of a kind of chestnut. A marron is a different kind from the "kuri" chestnut, but people just lump them together.

    Boku wa Konyaku Haki Nante Shimasen kara ne - Vol. 2 Ch. 11

    First Hamlet and then Romeo anf Juliet, but the reincarnated girl hasn't noticed anything?! Like did her world not have Shakespeare? Or she just never read it?

    Oishinbo - Vol. 14 Ch. 122 - The Treasure of The North Seas

    Had a sea urchin gunkan sushi once, and it tastes way too strong that I just got sick with just one bite. Maybe it'd taste better if cooked or something.

    The summary misgendered Mamori. He's a guy, but the summary calls him a "her".

    Oishinbo - Vol. 17 Ch. 154 - Rays & Sharks (Part 2)

    Dude, don't just randomly call up a match, it's none yer business. Like, yeah, for the manga you gotta ramp up drama I guess, but just like with the gyoza match, these third-party news guys just butted in stirring up the pot and demanding it to be made into a match when nobody asked. Kinda...

    I've had crocodile. Tastes a bit similar to chicken IMO.

    Tensei Renkin Shoujo no Slow Life - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Wheels of Progress

    I hope it's because of some lame politics because if they're pulling from that misconception of Galileo and the church I'm going to be annoyed.
