Think 100% of what I had to look up this week was food terms. :stuck_out_tongue:

So, on the second page, 残り少なくなってきた = “there’s not much left”, right? I feel like I’m missing something here, though, because that jar is almost full.

ja-ji-

I like this panel. It’s cute. And accurate. And also shows that Kiyo did, for at least one point in her life, own a pair of trousers.

Yeah that’s what I thought too. Maybe there’s only a lot of liquid left, but not a lot of solid ginger? Like maybe the ginger was initially tightly packed in. It does look like there’s still a lot left though :thinking:

I’ve never had 紅しょうが before, but those おいなりさん sound really good!

By the way, I think I deciphered this chapter’s handwritten last page, but wondering if someone could help with the one from last week? (On おでん.)

Here's what I have so far

*日を経るごとに 固わでに
なっていくのもいい。
*あと コンニャクにつけるからしの量の
ベストがいつもかわりません。
毎回びっくりする。
わかったと思った頃には
*鍋がかうです。

Stars in front of the lines I particularly don’t understand.

My (ahem) copy appears to be the manazine editions, and lacks the omake pages from the tankobon edition. Perhaps you could post an image of it?

(The drawings are usually a little more involved than this one.)

Otherwise, I concur with your interpretation.

Oh, I know, they’ve been included in prior volumes, this is just the first one where they’re missing.

Oh, I thought we were done with the Sports Day story.

So, googling チンチンアイス turned up this:

Is… is nobody going to talk about the blood dripping down Sumire’s leg? And that she apparently won the relay while in that condition?

That ice cream looks so cool!

I was surprised to see her bloody knee still exposed on the last page. I would’ve thought someone would bandage it up before they headed home :smiling_face_with_tear:

I think what was on her pants was just dirt, there is no way the scrape was deep enough to draw that much blood, however I agree it’s weird that no one noticed and treated it

Clearly this series needs to have the time, money, and effort put into creating a colorized release just so we can get a confirmation. Or OVA of this storyline or something.

I looked back over the sound effects to see if there was anything there:

Post-Fall

Sound effect for throbbing pain. That does feel more like something I’d associate with hitting’s one knee rather than scrapping it. (And looking back on it, the artwork does look more like solid dirt here now, although I too thought she’d badly scrapped it.)

Walking

Nothing informative from this sound effect, as it’s just showing that her steps are unsteady. But considering the dark spot hasn’t changed any, it does indeed appear to just be dirt.

There’s a hole in her trouser leg that’s practically big enough to fit her head through. There’s no way that’s just dirt. And that’s not how you draw dirt in manga.

This is dirt:

Edit: Hah, I should have started this week’s reading before commenting on last week’s. Turned over the page and:

There’s the colour version you were hoping for, Chris.

Oh, the Sports Day flashback continues! But from Kenta’s perspective now! Are these three telepathic? Why else would they all be having the same flashback, in narrative order?

I’m so glad they finally noticed that Sumire is obviously hurt worse than Kiyo.

The Michi-no-Eki with the horse statue briefly mentioned on the first page of the chapter is probably Shichinohe - it’s about twenty minutes’ drive from Towada.

Versus the EPUB:

Whoa, jealous of your full color title page! The paperback is just black and white, like the epub.
