When I wrote “new characters”, I should have written “new characters with hard-to-parse speaking styles”: that first chapter was tough… :sweat_smile:

I think I get most of it after going through it again.

When マッキ says 海いこ, I should probably read that as 海に行こう, right? And on p. 7, there’s an 海い, which I guess is a slurred 海に?

I couldn’t really figure out what she is singing on the last page, though (タカヒロのかってぼー？)

It sure seems タカヒロ is popular with the girls, though :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Yep.

Yeah, I reckon so.

かってぼ apparently means あほ in Boshu dialect. With this new piece of information, perhaps we can even decipher what Ojisan is saying…

Excellent find! :clap: It lists the あに = 何 and it also fits with the region, right?

One of the first hits on google led to this blog post which has a link to a quiz: This is where I live.: The Boshu dialect (房州弁).
I got one answer correct which made me a 外国人, which is accurate, I would say :smiley:. Apparently I’m not even good at guessing randomly :sweat_smile:
