Aw yeah geography, I live for this shit. Utsumi Station is way the hell south of Nagoya, near the end of the peninsula on the east side of Ise Bay there. Funny: they would have rode the Meitetsu railway's Chita line to get there.

For an encore y'all should drop a third version of My Dress-Up Darling.

Koga Mitsuki has a posse.

Soundtrack in my head: the theme from the old TV show "Rawhide."

Page 10: "And now for something completely different."

SCANDAL! I saw them open for the Pillows on the Sister Records tour when I was just a lad, not quite 20 years ago. This chapter is adorable even by Bocchi standards.

[Dr. Dre HELL YEAH]

For real for real. Ask a wrestling nerd "Hey, why is this move called X in Japan but Y in the states?" and stand back to watch the floodgates open. And yeah, Nakamura can draw like hell. Pretty sure he was a big influence on Daniel Warren Johnson's wrestling comic DO A POWERBOMB, I remember DWJ...

1998: I want to read manga about guns and robots and car crashes and brain splatter. 2024: Nope, done with that, I just want to read manga about girls eating French toast.

Mebbe 20 years ago the University of North Carolina anime club used the last page of this chapter for a flyer: (the "evil" character was a club logo kinda, calligraphy by a professor from the Asian studies department back in the day)

YAMADA WINS FATALITY FLAWLESS VICTORY

Yep, Seto, Toyoda, Anjo, all suburban parts of Aichi prefecture. I forget exactly where the series takes place -- I remember you see their local train station in some chapter or another -- but it's way up northeast of the city. Fairly close to Seto :) So a couple hours on the train just to get...

This comic is building up to the dumbest anticlimax of all time and I'm stoked for it.

It's pretty obvious from context, but a note on geography: the Nagoya suburb where they live is hell of far from the beach.

The English dialogue here is insanely good. Much appreciated!

It's kinda wild that this strip ended up with a plot to thicken. Goes to show you never can tell.

My feed isn't very pervy, but it is very boring -- if I'm on the mute list it don't hurt my feelings none.

Just found this because the translator followed me on Twitter -- I think he went through and followed everyone who'd ever mentioned the strip :) One of my buds had copies of the tankoubons years and years ago, we're talking like two decades plus, and I really dug it, always hoped someone would...

Japanese-style curry still predominates, which is Japan's own weird hybrid thing, but you also see plenty of joints that do the kind of Punjabi dishes that we're all pretty familiar with in the US and the UK. Japan has a lot of expats, guest workers, etc. from different parts of south Asia, just...

Protip, lassi also goes great with hot chili if that's your jam.
