Well, that's a wrap on Volume 38. I had a lot of thoughts about this volume as a whole. I thought it started off strong, and honestly, it wasn't a bad story, but I'm still of the opinion that an entire volume dedicated to this story wasn't necessary. Just my thoughts. See yinz guys for Volume 39!

I think it’s noticeable that Yamaoka really only gets mad when Kurita talks him up because he’s in love with her and it genuinely hurts him for her to defend him. Or maybe I’m just trying too hard to make it make sense, but I’ve noticed that he only seems to get upset when Kurita praises him.

Well, it was certainly different to sacrificing himself by getting shot.

Yes, he did. I think it was because he really was planning to wrap it up naturally after another volume or two, and it was one of the things that he hadn't really delved into that needed to be resolved. Incidentally, I'm wondering if with the new anime series coming that he might bother to...

To be fair, he got his way on this one. The monopoly was abolished in 1997.

Wow, Volume 12! I salute your diligence.

I figured we were gonna see him at some point. When was the last time we went a whole volume without him?

I had to do the checking on this one in a bit of a hurry since I'm running late for something, so if anything is way off, please let me know and I'll fix it tomorrow.

Uhh... Uhhh... Uhhh... Yamoaka... Uhhh... Finds a way.

I realized doing this chapter that he’s dressed seemingly like Ash from Pokémon as I remember him.

Hanasaki isn't really that great at designing new characters, which is interesting to me because when he works from a photograph, his designs are pretty good and his food drawing is also excellent, IMO. Just drawing original characters isn't his strength.

Meh, I generally am not all that sympathetic to Kariya’s views on stuff like that, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and just say he’s using it as a writer’s exaggeration considering that at the time, ramen was starting to actually grow exponentially in popularity. This is the...

I must say, so far, I'm pretty impressed with this arc. It's almost like a throwback to the first ten or so volumes where the comedy isn't just based on beating Yamaoka up, but rather on weirdo characters behaving in funny ways like this Ramen Institute guy. I'm really enjoying it.

Oh yeah, we’ve had a fair few of those.

Nope. Volume 24 is entirely devoted to the curry showdown. You actually had me doubting myself for a second, but I went back and double checked.

Well, here we go... Another one of those one story volumes...

Maybe… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Double upload today in order to finish off Volume 6! The start of Volume 7 coming soon!

Still such a long way to go. I'll be in my 40s by the time it's done. I'll be honest, I was stunned (in a good way) that there happened to be any hippy dippy food trend that Kariya wasn't jumping on board with.

That's a wrap on Volume 37! See yinz guys for Volume 38!
