ホリミヤ ・ Horimiya 🎀 👓 Week 10 Discussion Thread (Absolute Beginner Book Club)

To be fair,I think they only mention it in this chapter maybe? Most everybody besides her family (and her parents specifically) calls her by her family name

pg 100/98

ママーにんじんいれちゃやだ

What’s going on with this sentence? Contractions?

p100/98

ママ, 人参入れてはやだ
“Mom, putting carrot in there is bad”
or
“Mom, don’t put carrot in there”

pg 100/98

Hori creeping HAHA

I absolutely love that Hori starts kind of like the school idol but becomes a complete dork within like three chapters

Me again. Just want to clarify the sentence on page 93.
でも俺髪の短い子ってイマイチ

Is this an omission of は after 俺? Or something else happening to imply this is a functional sentence? Am I missing anything?

Yes.

In context, the idol on the poster has been showing up a lot lately. This suggests that she’s popular. Miyamura then says 「俺(は)…」 to say how his view differs. “As for me, [comment that differs from others].”

Great, thought that might be the case but wanted to confirm it. Next time I see that sort of thing I can have it in mind. Thanks!
