しろくまカフェ 🐻‍❄️ Volume 3

Chapter 10-12 orig (53,55,60 bis) thoughts and penguin pics

Lmao shirokuma is so silly

The penguins are back! (More pics time) (These are gentoo chicks)

Royal and Macaroni penguins

Humboldt and Magellanic

And I couldn’t be bothered sharing the rest but, I’m not sure if bis has it or not but the penguin cards are in the book so I’ll share those in case

Penguin cards


Lmaooo shirokuma’s size compared to the rest of them

HAHAH I should have read the furigana above the numbers, it literally says shirokuma


And grizzly was in on it, amazing

That was a good chapter I really wasn’t expecting that

I didn’t realise she’s a real person, I thought it was a random name. Having looked her up, she seems like quite a character :grin:

The ‘different types of penguin’ chapters really give me a katakana reading workout.

Bottom right - おいしくなくなくないよ
That’s a tricky sentence with lots of negatives!

The punning was with ばいせん and we had a picture of a boxer. Here was my guess - I was sadly off the mark…

Coloured chapter - the page that matches the coloured chapter you showed is page 27 of bis volume 4, but it is just a single page. It’s called special shot (3). There are four other special shots - 1&2 are in vol 3 bis, 4&5 are in volume 4 bis.

I’m catching up and will be back with the club for the volume 4 thread!

week 3 Ch 7 original / 50 bis

I didn’t see anyone comment on this. Since I hadn’t known about the whole idols thing until learning Japanese, this was an interesting and funny “inside view” of an idol concert… from the perspective of mama panda :sweat_smile:

I guess that’s really a thing to get out a special fan to wave the artist’s name for their solos? :sweat_smile: how adorable. カナダくん haha love it

And the song at the end where the text on the right says covering ヤマアラシのジレンマ. I hadn’t heard of the hedgehog’s dilemma (about the challenges of intimacy because getting too close can hurt) but it kinda fits the song text right?

Edit: I’ll just keep adding to this post

week 3 Ch 9 original / 52 bis

Nice find thanks!!

week 4 ch 11 / bis ch 55

I loved the marketing meeting for the penguin cards and how nervous panda was trying to distinguish the cards and penguins! :heart_eyes:

@WeepingWeeb thanks for mentioning the penguin cards and uploading images! Original has color pages? I’m so jealous! Bis has penguin cards as well (at the back so if not for you I wouldn’t have found them until the end!) but as you can see below they are different
