Main Post

Read another chapter of Yotsuba, had lots of dialogue in it and a couple of words I had to look up, making it a good learning experience. Also really like it, so it will be neat to return to it later. Also read a bit ahead and seems like more fun is coming up in the back half of this volume.

chapter 59

Guess what makes it harder to read this chapter is that the adults are talking more to each other. Funny that they always end up meeting at Yotsubaโ€™s place. Makes me wonder if Jumbo sleeps on the second floor of the store or something. Yanda probably lives in a dingy apartment with instant cup noodles, no wonder his girlfriend ghosted him.

I like how theyโ€™re talking about cars, setting up for a future chapter. Definitely had to look up some of the lingo there, such as ใƒใƒณใ‚ฏ referencing to a Fiat 500 (ใƒใƒณใ‚ฏใ‚จใƒใ‚งใƒณใƒˆ) and my brainfarting on (car navigation). In between Duralumin also got the mumps (ใŠใŸใตใ้ขจ้‚ช), which Iโ€™ll likely forget again because most of my medical knowledge is trapped in Dutch, but it sometimes happens that Iโ€™m unsure what it even means in English.

Anyway itโ€™s great that Yotsuba finally got to have her salted beef tongue and some nice Hรคagen-Dazs. I would go for some yakiniku myself.
