I know that's mesugaki, but I don't get the punch-line?
The punchline of this one seems to be that everyone calls her “brat” because of the fact that she’s been using a scalpel since early childhood but most people assume that’s it’s just because of her attitude. I’m sorry if I don’t explain it well

Nahhhhh, she has a really youthful face. I was going to say “Since she was a child? Isn’t she still one??” until I saw her body, lmao. The proportions are insane.

Scalpel in Japanese is mesu. She's a child (gaki) who uses a scalpel, so mesu + gaki = mesugaki. Japanese has a lot of homonyms, so puns are a popular form of humor for manga authors and a challenge for translators.
Honestly? Bravo on the wordplay. Thanks for the explanation!! Scalpel girl best girl, ngl.

If you came from the anteater one, this might help you heal.
I’m curious but should I even ask what you mean…??

Damn that's crazy
Very much so. Insanely crazy.

Time for the next chapter then, lol. Interesting so far, ngl fr.
