Iffy choice of adjective and translation of the effect, but no, this is absolutely a dialect thing and not an accent thing. She's not speaking standard Japanese in a way that is hard to make out, she's speaking more of her lines in the Kyoto dialect, which makes it harder to understand. The two...

Big lore dump, but also I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that over half of the dragons have gone from pure MacGuffins to having direct ties to multiple established characters.

The main maternal line of the Ebisumoris is thankfully easy to keep track of because the priestesses (the firstborn daughter of each generation) are named numerically, with the "ya" in Kaya's name theoretically signifying her as the eighth priestess in the family, but real quick: Mirai is...

The entire reason Misaki is spending so much time with her daughter lately is because of crippling guilt over not being there for her before the accident that severely scarred her face, and while I'm not an expert on expensive car maintenance I don't imagine the upkeep is so extreme that they'd...

It's Obon, which is visiting season for the spirits of your ancestors. Custom is to make little riding animals for them out of vegetables — cucumbers for a speedy arrival and eggplants for a leisurely return.

I think she's forgotten everything after they originally started dating, which including him gifting her the beret.

My high school Japanese teacher described it as Japan putting foreigners in the same category as babies and drunks when it comes to forgiving social faux pas, which definitely fits the attitude being discussed.

Because usually in anime and manga if there's a black creepy-crawly being mosaic-filtered out or referred to in euphemistic terms, it's a cockroach. MC happened to be mistaken this time, but that's what that signposting typically means in this medium.

Considering it's almost certainly evoking the word "gesu" on purpose, I don't think you're meant to.

No, it's just a meme that's been on the decline in the Anglosphere. "Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, and [third thing]" is a template that goes back a while. It's the same reason some women take issue with being called "Ma'am" instead of "Miss."

We've seen those strategy meetings and they are definitely not cooperative enough to be engaging in full disclosure of resources even if "two or more of the Elite Four are directly working together in the same place" was rare enough in RPGs to be notable outside the context of final dungeon boss...

I think that might be a bus stop; I vaguely recall seeing similar seating in that context.

I don't think separate members of the Elite Four, whose methods vary pretty widely, would necessarily know each other's secret assets, else the shapeshifting slime and the vampire with listening bats would probably be collaborating a lot more.

Exactly what it sounds like, Senko is a weirdo who can tell, with no visible outward signs, if someone has a boner. It's as weird in context as out of context. You just get used to it when she's the title character in her own series.

Years late here and you might already know this, but the expression in Japanese usually comes with an expectation that the person reading the atmosphere will go along with it, whereas Kuzumi-kun is an extremely at-his-own-pace kind of guy.

Popping in real quick to remind anyone complaining about pacing that we are on Chapter 16 of a manga with normal-length chapters that happens to alternate its main plot releases with side stories. We are maybe a third of the way through the second volume. I know we're all feral for plot...

In this manga?

Page 22 has what I think might be a typesetting mistake? I'm guessing "But ellips" should be "But…"

If the raws say blindfold プレイ instead of ゲーム, it's a sex thing.
