Well, that was certainly… a chapter.

I looked up why Miyamura was still calling it a manicure on page 5 even though he was getting it on his feet, and today I learnt that マニキュア also refers to the nail polish itself. And also that マニキュアフィンガー is the name of Japanese grape variety, probably because it looks like this:

Took me far longer than it should have to figure out why Souta was complaining about the living room stinking of sinners.

We not gonna mention how Miyamura just put his wet toenails on Hori’s carpet?

What is with the trope of students being asked to carry stacks of paper longer than their forearms just loose around the school? I can count on the toes of one hand the number of times I was asked to do that at my school, or seen someone else do it. Generally it’s a sheaf of papers thin enough that you could hold it in one hand - if you’ve got a multi-ream stack, stick them in a box like a normal person.

Well, they make them do that to teach respect and to train them to carry the future of the country! for comedic effect when they drop them of course lol

The girls also being in the same WcDonalds, uh, I mean Wonder Burger somehow caught me by complete surprise, even though it’s telegraphed by the title page. It’s also possible to see them in the background in a couple of panels, but you do need to know what you’re looking for.

If last week’s chapter felt a bit short, wait until you read this week’s chapter.

Ah, back to the ol’ Hori-discovering-she’s-a-masochist arc.

Page 76, why do these bozos know Hori by her given name? Shindo told one of them her family name back in chapter 38, but I don’t recall her given name coming up…

I’m generally not enjoying the direction the plot is going, hope it changes soon.

Now what’s Hori doing on the title page? Those pom-poms are for cheerleading, not breakdancing.

Can’t believe they actually require the girls to do a cheerleading routine, though.

I’m still quite confused about how the teams are formed. I feel I shouldn’t be but :woman_shrugging:

Each class had free choice for the method, but Sengoku thinks it probable that all of them just drew lots. Bottom of page 89.

SOS!! SOS!!

I don’t understand - didn’t you just post the title page?

Copy and paste error. Sorry for the confusion!

I had a really bad browser crash that wiped out all my local storage, which meant I lost all my book club templates and data, and had to rebuild them. I copied a prior post to make a new template from. I’ll need to go update that template.
