Bread fox > red fox. (Weight wise, anyway.)

Thanks for the chapter!

This is a legit amazing manga, it has a nice mix of slice of life, comfy, world building, and more. Why have I been sleeping on this for so long?

 

[xanon]

I get it, Mugi-chan. Kinda addicted to that whole human food thing myself.

 

[Darkshade13]

You always learn something new in the credits page

You always learn something new in the credits page

And it's not like I actively must have the extra page every time, I'd be perfectly happy just putting the credits on the last page for last pages that aren't spectacular. But this series is just so very very deeply Japanese - so almost every chapter there ends up being some context a native Japanese person would just know and random gaijin might not know which will enhance your enjoyment (or at least understanding) of it.

Hopefully these end up helping people understand other manga and anime better too! Most of these are applicable across the board. At least the 'staff food' thing this time, especially how it applies to chain stores.

At least the 'staff food' thing this time, especially how it applies to chain stores.

I don't think that's really something specific to Japan - a lot of food places I worked when I was younger, from fast food to sit-down restaurants to the banquet kitchen at the city events center, were pretty clear about not taking food home (and I'm in the Midwestern US). The banquet kitchen would usually arrange for one of the shelters in town to come collect the overage on events they expected enough leftovers to be worth the effort, but at most places it just went into the garbage. Most of that was discouraging waste up front (and since it wasn't getting paid for, take-homes were waste from a bookkeeping standpoint), but there was also a legal concern that if someone got sick because the food sat in the car for six hours before they ate it, the establishment was still on the hook for that. (Saw a few people get fired for violating those rules over the years as well.) It is worth noting that most places had a meal policy of some sort, so you could get something to eat if you were working a decently long shift, but you had to eat it there.

The legal perspective is an important one. Most Japanese bentos have more time/temperature sensitive things in them (IE fish) which can go south very fast if not handled correctly. From what I remember, a lot of old bentos actually get sent the japanese prision system. (not sure if the government purchases these for a discounted price)

Mugi's diet arc coming soon.

Ohhhh my gawwwd.

Kobane at the bottom of Page 5 just fucking destroyed me. I laughed so hard the dog next door started barking his head off, wondering what the hell was going on.
