Nada: Have some structure!

... "Structure"? I don't get what this means in the context of this strip; is this a mistranslation?

Nada's implying that they're under-planning and making light of pilgrimages (this strip plays off of the difference in meaning of pilgrimage to Miracle+Kevin and Nada), as she's been preparing for much longer than they have.

She says "メッカへの巡礼は予約10年待ちなのよ! // もっと計画的にしなさい!," more literally "I've been planning (and waiting for) my pilgrimage to Mecca for ten years! // Be more systematic!"

I suppose "Be more methodical!" might have made more sense.

@MarqFJA87 I think she's misinterpreting their casual use of the word "pilgrimage" for an actual real religious pilgrimage (though I guess some people treat their weebism and band worshipping as religion), and is telling them not to do something like that on a whim. In this case then, "structure" means "proper planning and preparation, in a pre-established manner"

edit: Oh Duckzono beat me to it. They've got a better explanation

@Duckzono: yeah, "methodical" would've been a much better choice of words.
