Pixiv shows the truth.

They do, I checked before posting. The sanshin membrane being made out of snakeskin is the main difference. Shamisens traditionally used cat skins.

Thanks for the chapter! There's a TL error, the traditional Okinawan stringed instrument is a sanshin, the predecessor of the shamisen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanshin

Ph33r my l33t photoshop sk1llz!

And that's how you end a manga, Gamer Gurl showing others how it's done. Thanks for all the fish, Moe and Friends!

Her name's Itachi, and she's the best grill.

Holy mother of thighs!

Her pen name is Sushi Karma. Karma is written in Japanese as Ka-Ru-Ma, so Sushi Karu is just a shortened affectionate version of Sushi Karma.

Nah, I prefer the ebb and flow, the waxing and waning of fanservice. It gets boring if Hiro is elbow-deep in giant boobs every chapter.

Wait until the next chapter.

I don't know who's lamer, the fake chef, the elitist customer, or the ignorant customer.

Thanks for all the fish, Daphie, and enjoy your break!
