We should be moving on to the third volume soon! (For original readers anyway) If any bis readers could help me out with lining up the chapter numbers with the bis volumes that would be swell :two_hearts:

I assume it might be easier if I show the original chapter pages and someone could let me know what the bis chapter numbers are, and any extra bits orig doesn’t have?

Original Volume 3 Chapter Panels

Summary: 17 chapters numbered 1-17, one atogaki at the end, and in the middle is a penguin card cutout thing

Here you are. I think you posted the chapter 14 picture twice. I’m guessing your chapter 15 is chapter 58 in bis - here’s the picture so you can check.

That’s a fascinating article. How seriously is this superstition followed, do you know? In particular according to this article you basically should avoid to do anything on 仏滅 which sounds complicated…

Also amusing that most of those words have multiple readings. That’s Japanese for you.

For the normal day to day life stuff you’d have to go talk to a bunch of people in japan and ask what they think, and you’d probably find a ton of variation, but it seems to have a measurable impact on a few very specific things that you’d really want to not mess up: planning weddings and funerals, hospital discharge dates, and maybe business deals.

I may have jumped the gun a bit but I just got the today’s special books :tada::tada:

oh those are so cute!!

And edit: don’t read the Amazon.jp reviews for these, there is a bis spoiler that I wish I hadn’t read :sob:

Rest assured everyone basically just says if you love Shirokuma Cafe, then the sequel Shirokuma special is just as good :blue_heart:
