Page 7: "You just want to curry favor with him."
Are you sure this isn't meant to be, "He's just trying to curry favor with me"? I know in Nobunaga no Chef, there's a part (chapter 282, page 13) where Hideyoshi asks Nobunaga for backup with the Mouris, but it's explained that Hideyoshi is...
I feel like if she brought Ukano to the dinner and they had a nice night out as a pseudo-family, that would appeal more to Yoishi than going out on a date.
In that chapter, it's revealed that he's a furry who has a fetish for people being slowly transformed into animals, not for partial furries like a girl with fox ears, so he was eliminated as a suspect. There's a panel where he says "You've found me out" but I think that's in response to being...
To be fair, Tei was in the middle of a major scandal that made her out to be a temptress and homewrecker. I doubt Takuma or the rest of the company leadership would let him maintain a relationship with her, and she wouldn't want to ruin his future.
But aside from that, I think there's a certain...
I thought they were effectively broken up after the scandal, when Tei told Ryuu that she couldn't love both him and acting. I see them more as two exes who still have feeling for each other but can't be together because of circumstances.
I reread some old chapters, and it looks like Hama was the only one who heard about Nijimura. In chapter 192 (which got taken off of MD, but you can find aggregators that host it by googling "read ura baito"), Yume and Hama see a figure in the mist. The figure looks like Tokiko from Q to Hama...
I think there's a mistranslation on page 34: Michizane should be saying "He believed his granddaughter was alive", referring to the grandfather, right?
Same. I also enjoyed the series, but I feel like it piled on so many new things that important parts of the beginning of the story got left behind.
A comment about the last chapter pointed out that the series began saying that Santa was being hunted because of their society's stranglehold on...
In the group photo on page 29, you can see a man's face in the top right, under Miki's hand. I'm guessing that's the author, Akira Nagai, who died two years into the series, leaving the artist, Nogizaka Tarou, to finish it.
Prediction: Ueno puts up a good fight but loses, then Manaka tells her ex to fuck off on her own terms, maybe even beats him at a match. That way, Manaka can show that she really doesn't want to be with him, and decides things for herself.
I'm guessing the author used the Japanese name Daishakuten instead of the Chinese name to make it easier for Japanese readers- it's also possible she didn't realize the Chinese name was different.
It makes sense that a Chinese merchant would be moved by a story of filial piety. One of the best...
I think she's his mom. I'm assuming she has him call her by name because she's young and doesn't want to be called "mom". I don't think it was ever explicitly stated though, so I could be wrong.
Taishou was trained at a traditional restaurant, a ryotei, the one run by Shinobu's family. It comes up in chapter 26. I think Ludwig the elder's criticism is just that Taisho's cooking isn't like traditional Aitherian cooking, probably because Taisho isn't Aitherian.
