No new locations this week. It’s all either the school or the Caribou.
That said, on page 126, we finally learn Mei’s family name, and as with the others, it comes from a city in Chubu: Nakatsugawa. If you’re planning to do the Magome-Tsumago Nakasendo walk, Nakatsugawa Station is most likely where you’ll get off the train. And on page 130, we learn Ema’s: Mizunami. (Interestingly, Nakatsugawa-shi and Mizunami-shi perfectly bracket Ena-shi.
While we’re at it: Seki. (Whew, that thing’s definitely been a victim of gerrymandering. Look at that shape! It’s almost worse that Ogaki-shi’s three separated areas.)
Page 108, it’s deja vu all over again. (In fact, I’m pretty sure the 道の駅到着～ bubble is an exact copy of the one on page 81, if not the whole panel.)
Page 116, oh nooooo. Well, maybe it’s for the best. If all those students joined the club, it wouldn’t be ゆる any more. Though I kinda want to see them all packing into that tiny club room at least once…
Page 117, I love how Aoi’s suddenly coming across as a bike expert, when she only just got her own road bike like last week.
Page 121, haha, chair option number 2 is a Helinox ground chair, which is the one I own (and which Rin owns in the drama version).
But yeah, Rin’s chair in the manga (and option number 1 on the previous page) is an Alite Mayfly, and (as the attendant says here) they went out of business about four years ago. Though apparently Grand Trunk acquired their designs in 2021… and here it is. Sans the distictive butterfly logo.
I’ma leave this here…
Page 123, Google’s not coughing up any real-world chair models that resemble this one, but that’s probably because I haven’t figured out the right search terms for it. It looks heavy, though. I feel like it’s also too deep a chair to easily use for doing things like cooking over a camp stove while you’re sitting in it.
Just a gentle reminder
