I was finally able to try a kotatsu for the first time on my trip to Japan back in 2023 - I went to Shimizu-ya in Akasawa, just like Rin does in Yuru Camp, and they had the kotatsu out. None of the situations depicted in this manga happened to me, perhaps because it was just me in the kotatsu, though I did almost fall asleep.
(Honestly would have liked to have spent more time in the kotatsu - and explore the town too - but I had to leave to catch the bus or else be stuck there for another two hours. Though, in hindsight, considering how little I wound up doing for the remainder of the day, that may not have been too bad. Maybe I’ll just have to go back there again someday.)

Ah, this whole Yuki/Tooru/Sakura arc is just painful to read…

I agree, it is a bit too drama-y for me, I don’t particularly enjoy these love angles. Yuki also (as she herself says) feels very わがまま in this whole ordeal.

Ugh. It’s Tanihara again.
Though, I’m still not a fan of Shindo either.
Page 84, what’s the furigana on the AKY in the last panel? My copy’s got about four pixels per centimetre, so furigana is completely illegible. It’s usually an abbreviation of あえて空気読まない, but the mess I have doesn’t really resemble that. (Also, there’s furigana on the furigana.)
あくまでも空気読まない
there’s dots above the furigana just showing the capitalisation I think

Another short one this week.
Page 109, in Sengoku’s internal logic, what’s that before 前より, about halfway down the panel?
I think it is 以前より. I can see each corresponding stroke. However only a posteriori of finding that kanji.
Level 7 was sooo long ago…

Well, that was a bit of a marathon read. Forty-five pages.
Page 148, Miyamura, now that you know Chika-chan’s family name, maybe you can stop calling someone else’s girlfriend “Chika-chan”.
Page 152 second panel, wasn’t Iori the name of Miyamura’s mother’s shop?
Page 157, Yuki still hasn’t figured out what at-home-mode Hori looks like?
And that brings us to the end of volume nine.
Page 157 really surprised me, I kinda forgot that that was the whole plot point at the start of the series lol
I guess we are entering the marriage arc
As it is usually the case, there is exactly one cake shop in the entire Horimiya world. But I did find the actual reference.
Page 55
Names themselves also signify relationships between children, family members and other individuals. One way to do this in Japanese is through the sharing of a kanji character. Prior to the Meiji period, it was common in (higher class) clans for male members to share a common kanji character; kanji given to all male clan members were specifically called toriji, and kanji given to all male clan members of one generation called keiji. It was also common for adult (males) to adopt a family member’s personal name upon inheritance, a practice called sh umei (Plutschow 1995;Tanaka 2014). However, with the nuclearization of the family, decreases in the number of children born per family, and the decline of the ie-seido ‘family system’ organizing relationships between families in the same clan (see Hidaka 2011) on the ie-seido), toriji, keji and shumei are no longer common practice. The 1872 laws briefed above, as well as the 1874 elimination of the practice of celebrating genpuku ‘coming of age’ for boys between 12 and 16 (Plutschow 1995)—which was generally when imina names including toriji and keiji would be selected—played no small part in the demise of these practices.
Rest of the paper is pretty interesting too, for a random publication found in the by accident.
