squalo is surprisingly hot, the thing is the first arc in which he appeared I thought he was very annoying and wondered why his opponent could not win by simply grabbing his hair (answer: his opponent was the guy with the most honour :p)

badou is charming!

OMG that's a really good point haha i never even thought of that
i think what would have happened is his hair would get chopped off a la akane in ranma or something LOL;;; who knows what would happen then!

I've been relying on my local Kinokuniya (don't trust Malaysian post enough to order online) and they still haven't stocked it aughhhhh. I got some Antique Bakery instead since it was by the same author and now feel very dumb because AB seems to be incredibly famous orz. but it is just as lovely (she writes 'ordinary people living ordinary lives' so well)

yeah, she really does ♥

I think I have some raws past chapter 2 if you want (of kinou nani tabeta, that is)...?

speaking of antique bakery, I ordered that manga like 2 months ago... but I chose the cheapest shipping option, which has no tracking or insurance, so by now I'm sure I'll never see them. postal service so lame :( :( :(

gar sorry for the late reply, i had a crazy weekend away :(

and thank you for the kind offer! though jengou has given me a link to a comm which has the raws uploaded - i'll get them from there and save you the trouble :D

i'm sorry to hear about your AB order :( where did you get it from? man it sucks that they would even sell and ship books without insurance or tracking :(((

Oh my god oh my god you read Kinou Nani Tabeta! *waves arms* I've been reading those two scanlated chapters OVER AND OVER, to the extent that I google every ingredient and will be trying out that soumen recipe yes yes :D I'm utterly absorbed with Japanese cooking lately because of it ^^

Updates take so long *cries* so yesterday I braved the raws and oohhhhh. So worth looking up every word in the dictionary, hahahaha. I love the story so much ♥

It is quite new, but vol 1 should've been out at least a month ago - it has up to chapter 9. I think Morning is up to issue 11 or so...?

tongari August 6 2008, 02:15:58 UTC
YES more people reading this!

omg let me know how the soumen turns out hahaha I wanted to try making it because the recipe looks ridiculously easy but remember that page where Kakei is sort of scientifically discussing reduction of mentsuyu etc?? that terrified me ;;

also, are there raws online or did you get hold of the tankoubon? I was looking for the Japanese tankoubon but even that is not available here :(

honestly I'd read it with a dictionary just to find out the wrong impressions Kakei gives people and for more tales of the UTTER HOUSEWIFE that he is

Btw, art is fanastic as usual! I just got blindsided by Kinou :O

I found the raws to the first 5 chaps online here (you'll need to join the comm first). The group scanlating said they bought the first tankouban - they're probably going to scan it when they've scanlated that far. Let's hope so anyway! But the dictionary-flipping is very worth it.

I think the reduction of the mentsuyu is just a matter of mixing it with water to reduce the concentration. You do that with mentsuyu anyway as a matter of course I think, I intend to do it to taste. I liked how the recipes aren't anal like, 50g of shiosake etc, what household uses scales when they cook... now I also want to go back to Antique and try some of Tachibana's savoury recipes :)

eee thank you thank you :DDD i'm off to grab those chapters!

ANTIQUE MAKES ME SO HUNGRY I can't read more than 2-3 chapters at a time especially if Tachibana is reciting descriptions to customers :((((
