Shinya Shokudou - Vol. 7 Ch. 95 - Stir-Fried Rice

[MangaDex]

 

[friendly]

Ah this one cheered me up- even if it did make me hungry with only one photo of fried rice. Poor author, too! I can't mind breaking the fourth wall a little over having to draw that much rice. The love of loyal fans...

Ah, that's me sometimes.

 

[ayatome]

It's sweet that while the regulars can't stand their loud fangirling, they show concern for them and are happy for them on their fav's conflict/success.

Thanks for continuing. I kind of love how the artist purposely made the ladies order 4 very similar-looking rice dishes just to rag on it himself 😂😂

I feel bad for always sounding critical, but by the way, the idol agency's name is "Tommy's", not "Tom's". It's a parody of the IRL Johnny's agency. You can see it written as トミーズ on the newspaper.

Also... there's what seems to be a rather elaborate reference in the idols' names too. "Sakyo" references "left". "Ukyo" references "right". In the Japanese imperial system, the "left court" is higher ranked than the "right court". That's probably why "Sakyo" is presented as not only immediately more successful, but also from a better background. Tachibana and Sugawara are both noble houses too, but not sure if that part means anything.

Well, there's more on the way - we have scheduled chapters up to Chapter 101 though we're deliberately uploading them on set times with an automated system. As for the Tom/Tommy's, that was a misread on my end. Perhaps I would have noticed if I was aware of Johhny's as an agency, but I admit that I have much, much more to know and learn. Expect a revision to come after I settle some chores IRL lol

Still, I didn't know about the sakyo and ukyo reference in the chapter. That's good to know!

Yeah, that's really minor TBH. I'm not overly familiar with idols myself, but that Johnny's one I just happened to know because of my friend.
