Checking the TOC (visible on Mangadex at the start of Chapter 59) and not being able to see the raws on this chapter to check if it's an inconsistency between the title in the TOC and on the chapter itself, it's "nounai daifuttou" (脳内大沸騰), with no 犬 included; it's probably just referring to...

Page 13. I know it's almost definitely "Don't stick your nose in my business," but my inner twelve-year-old can't help but giggle at the cutoff.

Yeah, but a) the Nazi appropriation of the symbol didn't erase its usage in the earlier sense and 2) modern slang has yet another application for it (sense 3).

It's had it for a while. Mai had some trouble with respecting boundaries, IIRC.

"Emphasize" and "empathize" (with a "t") are different words, regardless of whether you use the British or American spelling.

The Japanese school year starts in April and summer vacation starts in mid-July. Also going back to Chapter 1 Hikoichi had started noticing Nayu four months before the start of the story.

Years late to this, but I thought the joke was that they were eating summer chilled noodles that had gone bad. They wouldn't be throwing out product set to start being sold a week later.

It's important to note that he said everyone got "very good results" and Haruno's average test scores in middle school were in the double digits on a good day. Almost 20 is great for her.

People complaining about wild shenanigans and Kiritani being absurdly multitalented and I'm just sitting here as a relative amateur in the field of tokusatsu working under the assumption that Concrete Revolutio and Samurai Flamenco were riffing on that exact sort of thing being commonplace in...

Because the characters aren't spelling it right. The characters in this other world don't know that "Sensei" is a word. "Sensey" is how the scanslations for this series have rendered the otherworld natives saying "センセー" going back to Boredom Society's notes at the end of Chapter 1.

Kiku is, as joked about repeatedly early on, technically 79 years old, and thus Kyou started out digging at her by calling her "Grandma" both because of her age and because she considered Kiku's general behavior to be trying to act like an older sister. "Kiku" is the Japanese word for the...

First name in the pairing tops.

Mental stack is a thing and the expression refers to when you aren't separated from your logistics guy. This is stagehands making sure the actors don't have to worry about the electric bill for the spotlights, which is not an analogy used for a party that splits up while on the job. Even without...

Not that I don't appreciate the shot, but I keep getting distracted trying to figure out how that ribbon is both tight enough to make depressions in the flesh and loose enough to bend in ways that clearly aren't just following the contours of her body.

Note about soumatou: It's also the idiom used as the Japanese equivalent to your life flashing before your eyes.

Are pages 4 and 5 in the wrong order?

I see "セレブ" used in Japanese more commonly in its meaning of "wealthy person" than as an abbreviation of the English "celebrity." Given that her name is a pun on "has lots of money," that's pretty definitely the intent.

Being able to consciously know that info and actually communicate it is already huge; Claus's Auto Mode skills optimize whatever he's doing and seem to incorporate some degree of foreknowledge, but he's unconscious and nonverbal while it's active and it's strictly goal-oriented compared to the...

Mentioning this since it's shown up twice: the word is spelled "umbrage"; "Umbridge" is the name of a character from Harry Potter.

Having just finished binging the intervening chapters elsewhere: The fellows on Pages 29 and 30 are the Knights of Schwarz, a mysterious group that started showing up several volumes ago explicitly trying to get the Dark History back on track (in those explicit terms — they know how the...
