Thanks for translate this series. More people should read this manga. It’s enjoyable yet sophisticated read, a breath of fresh air among many generic manga out there, Didn’t surprise it won this year’s Tezuka Ozamu prize.
It's kind of late to say and it's not a big deal anyway but the Sawajiri Erika thing is definitely specifically referring to her funniest scandal, where she got in trouble for responding "betsu ni" to a reporter while looking pissed off. That phrase is permanently associated with her since then.
