I guess i was expecting too much for the other characters to show Yamaoka any sympathy or compassion for losing a major sensory function :/ they really are mostly just assholes.

If he want to, I think Okaboshi can beat Yuzan in Yamaoka place

I know it's a popular trope where everyone (or at least a lot of characters) in a fictional setting of a comedy story has to be assholes for comedic value, but in Oishinbo's case, it often just falls flat, mainly because the story often pits Yamaoka in such a shitty position by others, whereas others somehow don't suffer as much like him (and when they do, often don't get shit on as much as Yamaoka).

Meanwhile, on the historical aspect of radishes, originally I thought the manga was being inaccurate for saying that daikons (at least the ones East Asians grow and eat) already existed back then during Ancient Egypt and Greece, until I realized that all radishes are actually the same species (Raphanus sativus), it's just that the variants that are different (var. longipinnatus for daikon, var. caudatus for green radishes, etc.)

Kurita and Tanimura certainly seemed concerned for him personally. Ohara and Koizumi seemed concerned about how it affects the project.

Tomii… Well, Tomii is a douchebag.

It FEELS like this could be a genuine win. I hope it is.

I wish Tomii just fall flat and lose his scent so he can suffer the same pain as Yamaoka but knowing him, that bitch would cause a fuss and force Yamaoka to fix him
