Vocabulary List
Kitsun
Here is a vocab list on kitsun.io for the manga. Keep in mind that the vocab list was automatically generated by parsing the manga and running it through a dictionary, so there can be errors. If you see any, be sure to report them (from within Kitsun) so that they can be fixed.
Page 82, third panel, someone added 確定 to the vocab sheet here, but the panel actually reads 確保. Have we got different editions floating around here, or was that just a misreading?
p. 89, bottom left panel:
ヒト以外の生き物なんてもう生き残ってないと思ってたけど。。。
So I read this as Apart from humans, which living things did not survive either, I wonder
What surprises me is the negation here… Apparently they survived, and they just found the fish that also had survived, so why are they talking about living beings that did not survive?
And a general remark
This chapter is so unbelievable that it makes me cringe all over.
They find a fish. A dead fish. And they eat it. Without getting any food poisioning whatsoever. Highly unlikely imho.
They apparently hardly recognize the fish as being food. And they have never ever prepared one. Still they manage to not spill the gall and spoil the meat. Is this likely? Not so sure.
They have never ever eaten a fish before, but they manage to eat it without getting issues from the fishbones. Highly unlikely in my experience, especially since it’s a sweetwater fish which usually are more nasty wrt fishbones.
Anyways, I guess it’s just a simple story and not meant to be accurate. I’m usually ok with that, it was just … a tad too much in this chapter.
She says “I thought that no creatures apart from humans survived, but… (we actually found a fish, so apparently that wasn’t true)”
You can also put the けど in the beginning of the sentence in English: “And here I was, thinking that nothing apart from humans survived”, something like that.
Regarding the food poisoning: at least Chi examines it and concludes that it hasn’t started decomposing yet… so they did do some sort of freshness check.
