ぜんぜん
My Japanese doesn’t suffice to express this, but I strongly urge anyone who comes across elephant rides still extant in the modern era to take their business elsewhere. In order to get the elephants docile enough to be ridden, they must first be tortured until their spirits break.

モルモットですから
気がする is an expression meaning “to have a certain mood or feeling; to have a hunch” 
Well, I think most of us already read the chapter.
It was short and mostly covered by the vocab list, imo.
Also the elephant, and the owl. 
@BobaGakusei
乗ったことがあるんですが、それはずっと前だった。地元のサーカスで象があって、写真を撮った。楽しかった。
動物なら、サメは最高だよね。
モルモットですから。
I know this is now way off topic, but I’m so glad you posted this @Belthazar . I lived in Thailand for six or seven years and met many people who happily took elephant rides who, if they had only known the unbelievable cruelty that goes into pacifying and “training” an elephant would most certainly never have done so. It breaks my heart to think of those poor animals enslaved and brutalized like they are.
Thank you so much!
Phew, just sped read to the end of chapter 18.
And that last frame! When Yotsuba sees how this very life is indeed the Pure Land itself! Wonderful! Wonderful!
乗ったことないだけど、タイランドで旅行していたのとき機会があったことある。しかし、そのことは動物虐と思う。だから、全然乗りたくなかった。だけど私の友達は象を乗った。その後みんな乗ることを後悔した、なぜならは乗るの間中アイボリー物は買えることあったわけだ。
I’ve never ridden one, but I had the chance to when I was travelling in Thailand. However I think that kind of thing is animal cruelty. So I didn’t want to ride at all. But my friends rode the elephant. After that they all regretted riding it because during the ride ivory items could be bought.
ahh i hate how disjointed this paragraph is… can’t wait to be able to write a nice flowing passage one day
犬だよ！
Thanks again to those who worked on Chapter 20’s vocab list! I’m very grateful to have your assistance; it takes a lot of work to make it so good.
On pg 140, Ena urges her father to use the massage ticket, but she says:
なくなったら再発行するから、使ってよ。
If (the ticket) is lost/disappears, (I’ll) reissue (it), so use (it).
I don’t see why the father would be incentivized to use the ticket if Ena will keep reissuing new ones. I would think he’d be incentivized if she wouldn’t reissue a ticket if it gets lost. Then again, Ena’s next line suggests she’ll add an expiration date on the new coupon, so is that the incentive?
Finally someone appreciates Fuuka’s puns. 
That panel with Ena in a dress giving her dad a massage is so sad. 
@BobaGakusei She probably just wants him to use it already, since she’s probably giving him more later anyway, and then thought about the expiration date, so he has to use them.
I love these perspective changes like the one in pages 141 & 142.

poor ジャンボ
敵か？味方か？ so good
poor ジャンボ indeed
It’s not “if you lose the ticket” it’s “if you run out of tickets”.
“If you run out of tickets, I’ll make more, so use them.”
I think it’d make sense like this:
“I will make more only if you run out of tickets, so use them.”
But perhaps the context is enough to let that meaning through.
Kind of like, “You don’t need to wait until my wedding, I can make more y’know…”
Okay, let’s see… there’s 6 points of confusion on the vocab list still.
It’s the last week for Volume 3. Thanks for reading along!
How long until we start volume 4? i might need to grab a copy of books 4-14 ><
I suspect we’ll be taking a break for a while before starting on Volume 4. Perhaps a month or so? There isn’t a plan in-place yet, but we should figure this out in the meta-thread (よつばと! Reading club).
thank you i will look there!
a month is good for me
Page 122
Can I ask a quick question about way back on page 122?
What do people think is going on with the モテモテだなあ at the bottom of the page?
Is it the dad saying that Yotsuba is popular with the owl? Or something I’m not seeing?
(I love how terrified Yotsuba is! So cute!)
