My husband really wants to! I don’t actually drink coffee I just like the smell :laughing: these things are pricey though, so while we consider the cost and space it’s more of a longer term dream than an immediate plan. :coffee::coffee:

Such a relaxing picture!


Also the recipe for ジャガバター is really encouraging! Now I want to try it, maybe in summer.

Yeah, this was a really funny scene where their anger was quelled by the fragrant aroma of freshly ground coffee!

As a bis reader

As a bis reader made sense to read chapter 72 as well. Turns out to be only 3 pages anyway!

Not much to say about this week, but I did enjoy this panel:

Panda biting down on the edge of the comic panel!

Week 5 - chapters 13/14 - bis 74/75

Summary

I had to double check whether スズメバチ was a type of wasp or a type of bee. Japanese wikipedia seemed to confirm it was what I would call a wasp. Apparently often referred to as a yellow jacket in North America - I’d not heard that term before.

I assumed they were after the nest to get at the honey inside - but no honey, he just was interested in eating the larvae inside. His companions seemed to be unimpressed by that food choice!

Volume 1 of Shirokuma Cafe kicked us off with the borrowed English expression - ナイスアイデア. This week we got another excellent English import that I’d not come across before - ドンマイ- don’t worry about it, never mind, it’s ok.

These chapters complete volume 3 of bis for me. There were some interesting one shots at the end - I enjoyed Shirokuma and Panda reenacting Cinderella!

That surprised me too! I hadn’t caught that スズメバチ was a wasp (oops I assumed it was a type of bee and didn’t look it up! )

Is that what it meant :sweat_smile: thank you!

The Cinderella totally cracked me up, too

About スズメバチ

I thought it was hornet, as it’s the first definition in Jisho - large (and terrifying!) wasp :thinking:

Chapter 10 orig / 70 bis

Amazing entrance

And then them selling their card game lmao

Chapter 11 orig / 71 bis

NO rinrin got pied!

lol

lmao a sneak attack

lmaoo poor rinrin

Him blushing like crazy after panda says thanks is so funny

Chapter 12 orig / 73 bis

Hey we actually see penguin’s face

Penguin platter lol And grizzly looks so confused

Chapter 13 orig / 74 bis

I was wondering about shirokuma’s paw having five toes cause I guess I was expecting it to be like a dog or cat where there’s 4 at the front then one behind the main pad bit but they do indeed have 5 in front

Shirokuma’s not usually so expressive, his reaction to getting the wasps not making honey seems more like panda’s kind of thing

Chapter 14 orig / 75 bis

lmaoo

I like how grizzly just tells him to shut up in the middle of his bit

Recipe! I won’t make it but I appreciate it being there

Chapter 15 orig / 79 bis

Sorry we’re close

I knew Handa would be unbusy as soon as shirokuma said who’s birthday it was lol

Very inconspicuous

His disguise reminds me of this

So true

Chapter 17 orig / 81 bis

:sob:

This rush to the cafe is more dramatic than some shounen

Chapter 18 orig / 82 bis

I did not notice this small dog in his bag before
