That's average male height, average female height is like, 5'2".

I'm 5'11" and I often felt quite tall during my time in Tokyo.

Fair enough, I was way taller than any of the Japanese girls I met but I'm used to being the tallest girl in a given group. :v:

It hardly needs to be pointed out that the US is also way more diverse than Japan. That means that while the average may be close, the range you see on the street is much larger.

So Carol is going to front the money so Misuzu can buy and take over the ramen shop, and then together turn it into the biggest chain ramen restaurant in all of Japan. All before they graduate, of course.

And you all thought this was a joke.

She probably just glared at it, and the safe cracked under the pressure.

Wikipedia has a 2005 study of Japanese adults at 172cm/5'7.5" male average and 158.7cm/5'2.5" female average, compared to the US at 176.4/5'9.5" and 163/5'4" or England at 178/5'10" and 165/5'5" for example. Definitely noticable but not insane.

yeah, average people are tiny :v:

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Here I was thinking it was a joke about not having any money for ramen but wanting to visit the restaurant with the cute waitresses anyway.

I'd be annoyed that Tomo didn't see this coming if it weren't for the fact that we know she's as dim as a rock on her best days.

Poor Jun though, this is like an alcoholic unknowingly walking into a cocktail party.

Also remember that Tomo turned down hanging out with Jun to do this. So her big secret was that she was going to dress as a maid and serve ramen. I think Jun might have a genuine manic episode.

Are headdresses for waitresses a common thing? I've never seen it before. I guess that'd make a bit more sense.

Can't source this (I think it was reading the author extras in Kaoru Mori's Emma), but I think early waitresses in British restaurants were just former housemaids that had moved into the city and just donned their old outfits, so that's where the "waitress" look came from. Seems like it's just come full circle with the invention of maid cafes!

EDIT: That just looks pretty much like a full-on 50's diner waitress outfit to me, though.

Please Jun. Please, you blockhead. Please don't recognize Tomo at all for at least a few pages. Possibly fall in love with the waitress and want to introduce her to your good buddy Tomo.
