Yeah, sorry, I’m not too familiar with Eeny Meeny Miny Mo. In Dutch you have ‘iene miene mutte’, which should be its equivalent and is something between a rythmic chant and a song. As in, there is tonal progression, but I’m not sure if the actual notes are set.
But I won’t go offtopic any further.

I don’t like that the translation is the English song, instead of what they’re actually saying.
(Which is simple enough, but even then.)
Oh, I didn’t even notice the English subtitles.
Very cute chapter ^^ Yotsuba is so adorable as a plane xD
Personally, I’m waiting for the day when I can use this as a reaction image

Hah, I had exactly the same thought about exactly the same panel.

I’m getting more and more busy these days and simply don’t have time to ask the questions I want to…. which is a pity as I have so many! Starting on page 109!
なんだ 来てたのか.
My grammar is not up to this, but Yotsuba’s dad is basically saying “what has come?” and must be referring to the box, but the joke is that he could just as well be referring to Yanda!
Then Yanda says:
ちゃんと お邪魔しますって 言いました
ちゃんと - properly
お邪魔します - greeting used when entering someone’s house
って 言いました - said
“I said the customary greeting properly”. If I were translating this I’d say “I did ask nicely if I could come in”.

He’s actually explicitly referring to Yanda. 
“What? You came?”
Yep, “I did say ‘Excuse me.’ properly.”

Thank you Kazzeon. May I ask, how do you know that? How can you tell?

ハワイはもうみうらがいくのでした！
“Miura already went to Hawaii!”
And then he’s like, “Damn it! Miura already went to Hawaii… Miura?”
(So, you may be lost because Yotsuba is basically saying that Miura went to Hawaii, when it doesn’t really affect the possibility of Yanda going too. It’s one of those weird things she says.)

Well, you can see:
He’s looking directly at Yanda when he says it, and there’s also the びっくり lines next to him.

Ah yes, I thought so… I just wondered if there was anything in the text! Thank you!

And also, Yanda doesn’t have the foggiest idea who Miura is.

Also, “What has come?” Would be something like 何が来たのか, while 何だ = Jisho.org: Japanese Dictionary

とーちゃんの ラーメンは辛そう なのがいいな
とーちゃんの - dad’s / my
ラーメンは - ramen + は
辛 - spicy
そう - looks
なの - ??
が - identifier particle
いい - good
な - sentence ending particle
“For me, a ramen that looks spicy, yeah”
But can anyone tell me what the なの is? Perhaps the の is the explanation particle? No idea!
1 Like
I’m inclined to think it’s:
辛そう な looks spicy
のがいい (nominalizes previous sentence) is good
“A ramen that looks spicy is good.”
But something tells me it’s probably:
辛そう な looks spicy
の one that
がいい is good
“For my ramen, one that looks spicy is good.”
@Belthazar please, my grammar, it’s very sick
PS: You got the meaning, though, and that’s what matters most.
