is it her original skin that she kept around just in case, or did she have to source a fresh human skin?

:shepface: did they seriously make it a legend that the "Man tribe 蛮族" (a generic term the Han Chinese gave to the non-Chinese that may include indigenous and Mongolian people, and probably Uyghur as well, which also means "barbarian" and "uncivilized") were descended from dog-human hybrids. like, uhhhhhh what

ACTUAL MORAL DIRECTED TO ETHNIC CHINESE READERS NOT TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH: Readers may spot the similarities in the beginning of this tale and 里見八犬伝 "Lgend of the Eight Samurai", a famous Japanese epic. Think for yourself: In centuries past the Japanese greatly respected the Chinese and chose to learn from China its culture, art and literature. But now, we are the ones who are learning from the Japanese. Think harder and you'd realise you should be ashamed to meet the ancient sages of China, and our people today are an embarrassment to their ancestors.

Note: I knew of the "mealworm-like bug turning into a dog and marrying a princess" part of the story as a kid but mercifully I was never shown the :shepface: ending.

Jos3ph backs off and reveals that he was counting on Wumuu slicing open the oil flask! All that wind has to come from somewhere, and Wumuu is sucking in enormous amounts of air to power his wild wind abilities! This wind is aerosolizing the oil from the flask! The oil, and the flaming pieces of King's headband, are getting sucked into Wumuu's body and mixed into a fuel-air bomb!

As Wumuu realizes this, he explodes with rage!

The translator is using the pseudonym "Bartley" because Cooking Papa inexplicably calls Tanaka Bartley



btw when the translator says he'll never catch up, he's not joking. That was volume 1 out of the 167 volumes which currently exist and it's still ongoing.

Hah, I went and checked after you mentioned it - Bartley scans lasted 4 more chapters after this one, their final posting was uploaded to the site I use 6 years ago. Another group took over a few years later, they managed until the end of volume 2 (Possibly? There's no end of volume thing in the last chapter) and their final posting was more than 3 years ago.

I poked around some more and found out two more things: one, by volume 145, Makoto is drinking age and has a teenage sister. Two, according to some people on Reddit, Kimura gets hitched to Bartley. I always thought her pursuit of a married (and clearly uninterested!) man was unseemly, but er, that's a little rough isn't it?

I feel like the seeds of foisting Kimura off on Bartley Dumbsauce were already planted during the hangover chapter; I'm just going to assume she whips him into shape and they're happy together, and will reject any evidence to the contrary.

Ah! That's a slurred-in-a-manly-way "bakatare" (literally, I suppose, "idiot sauce," or "person out of whom idiocy is leaking"), an even more insulting variant of the ever-popular "baka". Not his name, just "dumbass".

Exploration is ill-advised.
The Disney comics that casually have humans in between the ducks and otherwise is pretty amusing, especially given later stuff that usually carefully avoids them, and it's even a minor plot point slash joke in the DuckTales reboot that none of them know what a human is.
