    Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan - Vol. 10 Ch. 60 - The Unfettered Retiree

    Oh, wanted to comment a bit about the translation. Saying "Your Majesty" is kinda weird because in English it's strongly associated to royalty, like the king or emperor, when the shogun isn't that at all. Even in Japanese most people seem to associate that title with just the shogun and not...

    Oji Tensei ~Akuyaku Reijou no Kareinaru Seikatsu~ - Vol. 3 Ch. 13

    I think "Zoisite" is not exactly the commonly used version of the name, pretty sure most people call it "Tanzanite" more often, so this just makes me think of Sailor Moon LMAO.

    Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan - Vol. 10 Ch. 60 - The Unfettered Retiree

    The definition of "reincarnation" 転生 isekai in Japan is that "the original body dies in our world, and the soul wakes up in a new body in the isekai world". Even if the body they wake up in is not a baby, it's still called "reincarnation" 転生. Now, this manga was probably conceived as "he died...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 280 - Shameful Foods

    I wonder if it was a generation thing, but in other manga I saw butter rice and fried bread crust are not embarrassing in any way. It's basically being treated/viewed the same as a tamagokake gohan, that raw egg on rice. It's a quick meal or snack for home that you probably wouldn't give to...

    Akuyaku Reijoutachi wa Yuruganai - Ch. 16

    No. are you forgetting that this chapter literally showed us that Aini wasn't even trying to learn? She just thought "We don't need this, everyone are equal anyway" and wasn't at all interested in the subject at all. If we had seen Aini putting the effort to learn properly but failing, then we...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 279 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 3)

    Sure, it would be better for people to actually see the context for themselves. I should clarify a bit on he Australia part, since I didn't detail what the problem was before. I was not criticising him for suddenly turning around and hating on Australia. My criticism was that Kariya was being...

    Excuse you, I would appreciate that you not make assumptions about me here :cautious: I admit that I haven't checked the racism part because I forgot the chapter number so I couldn't check, but I did look at the Windows VS Mac. The dude with the computer in the ends changed his computer to a...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 279 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 3)

    Oh yeah, the article I mentioned had the writer being super polite because it's an official publication, but the way it criticised him for being unreasonable kinda has this vibe of "Oh my god, this rich old coot is out of touch with society and reality!!" Wish I could link it but I forgot to...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 325 - Side Dish Showdown (Part 3)

    Literally, yeah. Like he's often going all "Modern factory made stuff bad, traditionally made stuff good". But okay bro, how do we get enough of those traditional stuff to provide for the whole nation? Also since I always have the jasmine rice and I don't know how "non-aromatic" rice compare...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 279 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 3)

    Yeah, I agree. Like, as a comparison, many non-Japanese people cry "But what about salmonella!!!" whenever they see tamagokake gohan in anime and manga because of the raw egg. Even if you are assured that it's safe a lot of people who are not used to this would not want to try it just out of...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 279 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 3)

    Oh, bro is very sincere, alright. He is just a very poor storyteller and very ill-informed about the facts a lot of the time. Like, the reason why the story seems weird at times is because the plot is forced and is more just a framework to accommodate his annoying rants. He just doesn't know how...

    Isekai Nonbiri Sozai Saishu Seikatsu - Vol. 4 Ch. 24

    I know this is super old but "kikyou" IS bellflower in English. I do tend to preefer the original Japanese names, but this one doesn't seem necessary. Translating it as bellflower is fine.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 279 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 3)

    It's been like this for a while. At some point the author decided that Yuzan needs to be a Super Tough Enemy that Yamaoka can't beat, so he's been giving Yamaoka completely bullshit losses like this for a while. The only times Yamaoka can outwit Yuzan is in non-contest scenarios where Yamaoka...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 325 - Side Dish Showdown (Part 3)

    To have a segueway to lecture us on the taste and scent of rice, obviously. The excuse is that the "aromatic" rice would affect the way the food taste, because "flavours" are partly affected by your sense of smell. But the main point of it is just so both sides can yap about the taste of rice...

    Akuyaku Reijou tte no wa Kou Yaru no yo - Ch. 6.1

    Yeah, this one we'll just have to wait and see for the plot to explain. They mentioned that doctors are expensive, so that kind of implies that there's not that many of them. While there's the "high school"-like academy in this world, there doesn't seem to be any universities where you can...

    Akuyaku Reijou tte no wa Kou Yaru no yo - Ch. 6.1

    Obviously the heroine is also another reincarnator who has read the novel or vaguely know the tropes. A real heroine wouldn't call herself a heroine LOL. It's already been answered but to add in more detail: Even if you build hospitals everywhere, there's likely not going to be enough doctors...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 325 - Side Dish Showdown (Part 3)

    What even is Yuzan yapping about over the rice? Didn't we have that whole chapter with the minister and companions of rice? Are we supposed to understand that the minister failed to do anything about the rice? Also, I know this bro's been weird about stuff before, but I am curious about what...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 30 Ch. 278 - The Salmon Showdown!! (Part 2)

    Yeah, it's a Yamaoka oversight, because then technically he could've been fine if he had been like "This IS a ruibe that was thawed and processed further". Maybe there would be some problems with texture or whatever, because food that was frozen and thawed out could be watery. Also Kurita...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 323 - Side Dish Showdown (Part 1)

    Bro is so mad about the rice he literally inserted himself into the story LMAO That "Gekiga scriptwriter" is Kariya himself, since that was the kind of stuff he was writing for before Oishinbo. Back in the day the word "manga" was considered "comic books for kids" so the word "gekiga" is made...
