    Ura Baito: Toubou Kinshi - Ch. 155 - Security Firm Staff ③

    Baldies aren't gray creatures. They're the "Shaolin kungfu master/exorcist" archetype from old HK movies. That's why they have Chinese names and are bald.

    Arrogant Slave - Ch. 4 - Shopping

    It isn't. Basically, she's a reverse-ojousama character. Instead of being a sheltered lady with a twisted sense of how the world works for commoners below her station, she's a sheltered slave with a twisted sense of how the world works for commoners above her station.

    Ruri Dragon - Ch. 12

    Mangaplus will continue. It's owned by Shueisha, the original Japanese publisher. However, that may only be true for non-Anglosphere readers. Anglosphere readers may be region-locked, depending on their agreement with Viz.

    The Ravages of Time - Ch. 601 - What Remains of the Upright

    Like skylithos already mentioned, Deng Ai. It's another one of the great little moments in Ravages, knowing what the future would bring.

    Hatch Potch Panch - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Public Execution

    To add to the explanations already given, Kiho is a Judoka, and in Judo a hug like what Yasuki did would usually be the first move in a close-in body throw. Kiho misunderstood Yasuki's intention in holding her body to talk to her and thought that straight-up grappling was allowed because that's...

    The Vampire - Ch. 10

    Oh, nice reference. 38 for the boys, 39 for Miku.

    Rin-chan Wants to Flirt - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

    Hotcake and pancake mean the same thing today, but historically a pancake was just any kind of batter fried on a pan. The majority of those batters were gritty, hard, and mostly bland. When the modern fluffy pancake batter (which is also waffle batter) started being marketed in English speaking...

    Prison! - Vol. 1 Ch. 8

    Cute girls doing slave labor is a genre now. BTW, if you read or watch CGDCT series like New Game! or Shirobako, the girls there are most times overworked and underpaid. It's just that this manga is blatantly showing slave labor in a cute way.

    Hosomura-san and the Cat's Snack - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - shabu-shabu for two cats

    It doesn't really work. Cats will either accept each other immediately, be a bit shy around each other for about a week, or declare each other mortal enemies right away. The room separation method is just to avoid the inevitable brutality if they choose the last. What actually happens is that...

    Nine Peaks - Vol. 9 Ch. 70 - Changing the Future

    Okay, now all that's left is to rescue Mako's hair!

    Tengoku Daimakyou - Vol. 11 Ch. 63 - Funayama Tooru 2

    Oh, so this was how the gang started. Damn. Robin was really f-ed up from the start.

    Today's Walk - Ch. 28

    I mean... every 24-hour konbini in Japan has a hot water tap out front for making ramen... just find one.

    Plinivs - Vol. 8 Ch. 56 - Domus Aurea

    Vespasian isn't associated with cabbage, though. That would be the much later Diocletian. Vespasian is instead associated with turnips (he famously got pelted with them on one occasion) and mules (he went into the mule trade while in North Africa). Also, the two old guys got switched here. In...

    Starting with Shibata-sensei.

    Ruri Dragon - Ch. 12 - Making Something Fun for Everyone

    Huh? They've been this way from the start. Previously Mangaplus partnered with other companies to provide paid subscription. You get a subscription, the hidden chapters open up. Now they've simply cut the middlemen and offer direct subscription from their own app.

    Plinivs - Vol. 8 Ch. 56 - Domus Aurea

    It's kinda disappointing that she chose to use the outdated depiction of the Colossus. On the other hand, it does fit the theme so far of lost wonders of the ancient world (like the secret chamber under the pyramid and the minotaurobot).

    Ruri Dragon - Ch. 12 - Making Something Fun for Everyone

    The website is free like Mangadex. In the app you have to pay to gain access to the chapters. If you don't pay they'll be as invisible as they are here and in the website. Mangaplus is an official licensed service, so they have to make money through direct commercial means. That's the app.

    Reiwa no Dara-san - Vol. 3 Ch. 25.5 - Bakeneko; Dara-san's Valentine

    Uh-oh... my oldest cat is male and not neutered....

    Last Karte - Houjuuigakusha Touma Kenshou no Kioku - Ch. 93 - Bear-Killing Deer Part 8

    Wait, this feels like the end. Is the series ending?

    Mujina into the Deep - Vol. 3 Ch. 3.4

    I don't think it's a parallel. Ubume's past looks a lot more serious than Main's. Main was just a dumb broad who dug her own grave. Ubume's flashbacks show hints of someone who had a real life and got pushed into the Mujina world.
