Why is she not wearing pants (trousers) on the cover?

Her coat is long enough to go past her shorts.

Should you be holding that cat against your kimono, Sumire?

I feel like the okaka onigiri is somehow a reference to the cat - like okaka (or okaka onigiri?) is considered cat food, or something. I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere, but I’m completely coming up blank with Google.

These chapters go so quickly these days! Feels like I barely opened the book and I’m already done with the week’s reading. :sweat_smile: This one did have abnormal number of nearly wordless pages though.

Also, starting to get a sense of how different the Netflix series portrayal of Momokosan-neesan is from this chapter …

The apartment is almost identical, though. :slightly_smiling_face:

Honestly thought the reason Momoko took a vacation last chapter was so that she could sneak back and take part in the marathon in this chapter, but no, apparently she’s allowed to do whatever she wants when she’s not actually working.

I hope su-chan will follow her example and balance her life a bit more. Too much practice leads to worse performace!

Too much practice has lead to her storing the wrong motion in her muscle memory.

Kiyo on the first two pages:

I knew it was gonna be クリームシチュー

I thought it was funny to see Kiyo still wearing her signature shorts and slippers right after saying that it’s really cold (when getting up) :sweat_smile:

Last winter, I could sing this song by heart. Now, listening to it while it’s 42 degrees outside feels a bit strange :sweat_smile:
