Ueno-san wa Bukiyou - Vol. 5 Ch. 42 - Mochibra

[MangaDex]

 

[LayZzz]

She's brilliant but oh so stupid

 

[Kino280]

She was so close to becoming self aware

 

[Blip]

This guy's either alpha af or he just can't be bothered to care anymore.

 

[mister_nobody]

I'd eat it with delight.

 

[Teionsav]

He either knows about it but is just playing along with her or he is just a sweet and pure boy.

 

[Tcof]

Back then he refuse to drink her piss which already safe to drink
Back then she can't let him now the food is her panty
Characters development. They grow so much 😥

 

[neet101]

No one gets between a boy and his food when he's hungry.
No one.

@TcoF Oh yer right. And remember when Nishihara, the overly sweaty sports girl, urged him to drink her sweat?

 

[Haremmony]

@Tcof, i get the joke, but if i read that explanation right, that mochi is not really all that different to a still in-wrap snack that has been stuffed between breasts in your breast pocket all day long.

It's not a bra-transforming mochi, it's just a mochi-preserving bra.

It's honestly no wonder that Tanaka has zero intolerance for consuming this one.

 

[Slapdown3]

Ueno-san.
Try the filtered pee again, I think he'll go for it this time.

 

[Kaios]

Imo the joke in the first page is just a way to make the Mochi appealing to him, since Ueno thought he wasn't going to want it.
I'm just doing a wild shot in the dark here but isn't it like a street food seller who's shouting to get people's attention? "Who wants my sweeeet and delicious Mochi? It's soft and sweet, get it now for 9.99$"

 

[DreamlessWindow]

The joke is about sweet, squishy mochi. Think about it again. Sweet, soft and squishy, kept protected and shaped by the bra the whole day...

Spoiler

it's boobs

. They are trying to get him to think about the squishiness and softness of mochi so he associates it with that and gets nervous about eating it.

Spoiler

It would be like eating Ueno's boobs after all

.

Page 10 though is weird. I'm pretty sure they are kind of confirming with each other that normally you'd think of boobs in that situation, as Ueno seems to need a sanity check at that point, but it doesn't follow naturally from the way they are speaking. Maybe something like this?
-Yamashita, we are both thinking of "that", right?
-We are both thinking of "that".
-Hey, Tanaka, we are both thinking of "that"
-Ah! Me too?
But yeah, this is more me trying to make sense of it than translating it. Maybe with the context of the previous panels it would make a little more sense, but I'm not sure.

 

[kaminomikan]

Such a pervert that girl... just imagine when she goes berserk...

 

[JumboWheat01]

Give that girl some props, she's taking the science club in stride and isn't fainting just yet.

 

[shirasu]

アレ(that) is a euphemistic expression implying negative meaning.
In this conversation, it means insane, wrong , idiot and so on.

Ueno : Which person is “アレ”?
Yamashita : Both of you.

P.S.)
The reason why they said same phrase ... is hard to put into words.😣
In japan, there is a humor with wordy explanation.
Most typical and traditional example is Jugemu.
Something something death pool in chap12 is same type humor.

 

[RandomFanguy]

Does Ueno even need a bra in the first place?

 

[Walter_vi_Britannia]

@RandomFanguy Well...yea. At least a sports bra. I don't wanna go into detail about it (specially since I'm not a woman) but I'm pretty sure she'd still need a bra for certain reasons.

 

[goodie-bag]

So, is "soft sweet mochi" supposed to be some weird slang for boobs or is it just the usual random nonsense this mangaka likes to put in?

 

[Tertium777]

The MC is so done with her bullshit

 

[Ced1106]

You ARE both crazy. 👫👫👫
