What Shiraishi wants to do and Sugimoto's reaction are hillarious 😅

 

[kitsushouten]

I love the bit about the sturgeons. I'm kind of an aquarium geek so when i saw them I was like ohhhhh damn

 

[Dzimitory92]

pages 10-11 were pure gold

 

[Nolonar]

I had a feeling he'd do that, but poor sturgeon...

 

[Crosonical]

Quick correction to the note at the end.

2.5 meters is NOT 12 feet. It's a little over 8 feet. At first, I thought the idea of a 24 foot sturgeon was a typo, but a bit of research shows that there was a sturgeon caught over 23 feet and almost 3500 pounds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_(sturgeon)#Size

It should probably be 3.5 meters. I thought the typo was one thing and the size was exaggerated, but it was actually the other thing and the research was legit.
You know, I really appreciate these little notes at the end of each chapter. It really helps show just how much research goes into this very weird manga, and it's a shame that the official releases don't do something similar. I think I'm going to go back and save every glossary note because it would be a shame to lose them.

That underwater Shiraishi scene was amazing. Could barely concentrate on the rest of the chapter from laughing so much.

@Crosonical

Thanks for the correction! Not sure how I made such a silly mistake and didn't notice! I must have gotten mixed up with all the numbers I was throwing around. I've re-uploaded the chapter with the corrected number in the glossary. Thanks again, and we're glad you like the glossaries so much!

 

[laggmann]

@ehscans Thanks for the chapter, and the glossary, amazing work

 

[Nutfiend]

I've always loved how Sugimoto isn't the best fighter and nearly always gets hit first or thrown through a wall but if plot weren't a point, he'd destroy all his enemies.

 

[tanooki]

Man, I often forget how enormous fish can grow

 

[mrbronor]

Sugimoto "The Immortal". Shiraishi "The survivor"!

 

[jshade]

bearing ch201 in mind I couldn't believe sugimoto would refuse shiraishi's aid this time!!

 

[rokegle135]

Page 10 just so fucking hilarious asf

 

[Oured]

Page 10 is a reference to Nirvana's Nevermind album cover.

 

[RyoSaeba]

@Oured No, it's not.
If the author wanted to make a reference to that he would have drawn more details to it, like something floating mid-way (the dollar bill) or simply having Yoshitake be butt-naked and in a similar pose or with a similar face expression... you're just reading too much into it.
It's just Yoshitake with his dumb face being there for the following comic relief scene.

 

[OtHeR-THinG]

That's brutal death for Boutarou's henchman... I'm glad Sugimoto let Boutarou lives.

 

[BasilD]

Sugimoto would rather drown than have a smoochy-smooch with his homie Shiraishi

 

[Oured]

@RyoSaeba "Reading too much into it," sure.
Noda adds constant references and easter eggs of western media on almost every chapter. It was just a guess, not a dissertation on the metaphorical meaning behind it.

 

[Mewples]

Not help pull him up but go right for the lips....ow o”

 

[RyoSaeba]

@Oured
I know he does, that's the main reason we have our glossary/trivia page at the end of every chapter, that's nothing new... and that's why if that was a real reference he would've added way more details into it, like he usually does!
No need to feel attacked and go all defensive about it haha
