Cute chapter, eye rolling at "women gotta watch them calories!" Bit that's rife in every manga about food, sigh

Yeah. This one's got that very 1980s attitude toward dieting.

Does anyone know which episode is the anime version of this chapter?

Sweet potatoes are delicious but can make people feel bloated and gassy. It is best to eat in moderation.

Does anyone know which episode is the anime version of this chapter?

Just watched it with my gf a few weeks ago. Episode 58.

I’ve gotta say, as someone that loves accents and dialects, including my own (I love a good thick Yinzer accent), I really could not tell the difference between his accent and Yamaoka’s…

Also, as far as the singing, I can’t say either of us particularly enjoyed it. To our ears (I guess noting that I’m an American and she’s an Australian, so maybe it’s a cultural thing) it sounded more like screaming. But again, maybe that’s just a cultural thing. Careful with your volume on that one, it is loud.

I usually go to town on them at Thanksgiving. I like sweet potato French fries every once in awhile as well. I’ve never had the issue of feeling bloated after eating them, but I might not really have them enough to notice.

Is it the typesetting or the text that was difficult? The guy was just shouting "roast sweet potatoes, roast swet potatoes" over and over, it's just typed up in that decorative font to emphasise that he's doing it in a unique way (I think he was half singing it).

So the MTL I use usually just refuses to translate the text that looks like that (anything bold or outside of panels) so what I’ll generally do is if I don’t recognize it, I’ll go to multiple other translation apps (this is what I do with the chapter titles). None of them were working. Two of them translated it as animal noises (one had him mooing, I wish I was kidding)… So when I get contradictory information like that, something I KNOW is wrong, I just think it’s better not to fuck with the panels by guessing.

But, if that’s what he’s saying, I’ll go back and edit it as soon as I can.

Okay, I've fixed the one page's TL, at least the panels that wouldn't completely destroy the art work.
