First time I've encountered a 16-panel page. Breaking new ground here in the NEET thread.

Fortune for his "friend": https://e-uranai.net/uranai/event03/amp?l_name=%E8%8D%92%E5%B7%BB&f_name=%E9%81%94%E6%B2%BB&rad=1&num=1&rep=1&rei=1

I'm getting the suspicion that there is some awful vision or vortex or phenomenon or something lying ahead in the crime timeline NEET, such that whenever an eager young translator scans ahead to see what's coming, they are instantly vaporized into a cloud of microwaved natto fumes.

I had one. I very much did not like it.
You had to first fill the bathtub. Wait. Turn on the heating element. Wait. - Sometimes you forget about it, and suddenly you've made it waaaaaay too hot.
If you didn't forget, then you go in and splash yourself with a bucket of water, soap up, and use the bucket again.
IIrc, the tub itself wasn't particularly comfortable if you actually tried to get in it.
I eventually found an adapter to convert it into a shower, but the heater couldn't keep up with the water flow.
It's mostly fine in Summer, but Winter sucks.
In short - it's fun as a novelty; not so much as a daily thing, imo.

In general, my apartment didn't have hot water (or any kind of heating at all), so I had to buy a heating device so my fingers didn't freeze washing dishes in Winter.
Japanese homes (at least in my area) were built only with Summer in mind.

Sounds like you had something pretty primitive -- many or most places will have instant-on hot water, and automated systems for the tub that get the temperature right and maintain the water level. Also, you don't fill and drain it every day, you clean yourself outside the tub then get in to soak. Unless you have a huge family it takes a while to get soupy, so you clean it once a week or so. Also you get a cover for the tub to keep the latent heat in when you are not using it. As part of your daily routine, you "turn on" the tub ahead of time from a panel in your kitchen and then it will announce when it has reached temperature. Then you finish your breakfast, wash, get in, get out, cover it up and turn it off.

That said, during the heat of summer, who wants a hot bath. During the winter, sometimes you find you are sharing the tub with a mesh bag of mikan.

Returning to the comic, I thought the stage hand might be saying something to the equivalent of "Thank you for your work today, Mr. Enami", but obsessing over it for the last several hours I've come to the conclusion that she's actually extending a kind of thanks to Takakura on Enami's behalf--"Mr. Enami appreciates you agreeing to be here today."

(I think the back of the head in the first panel is Enami's and the stage-hand is addressing him.)

Yes, who could have possibly seen something like this coming? You're on a show about proving ghosts are real or something and they asked you how you see auras and they were prepared for what was probably the most obvious answer to that question.

On the other hand, in shame-oriented cultures you can rely on people not exposing you because they're the ones everyone will get made at for causing you to lose face.

Man, that panel cuts me deep. Poor Tachibana... he's too classy to ever mention his sacrifice to Tohru and Izawa. That gets me right in the feels. :smith:

He didn't sacrifice himself, he's in charge of them so he had no choice but to take responsibility and get punished as well. The question is whether Tohru realizes that his actions have consequences beyond himself...

In English, the phrase is usually "May-December", but some authors will move the months around to make small jokes based on people's familiarity with the expression. (Like, "I'm not that old, more like 'May-November' har har".)

So I'm too lazy to go back and look, but is this whole mini-arc revolving around the boys having a mix-up between "AI chat" (AI == romaji for あい == 愛 [love]) and "A.I. chat" (A.I. for "artificial intelligence")?

It's nice to think that there's someone for everyone

That said, is there not the same sense that you should avoid dating at the workplace in Japan as in the US? This seems like it could end badly

I could also believe these are just socially incompetent types who are driven to make bad decisions

Well, see, it's Japan, so if things work out well, they get married and the woman quits her job. If it doesn't work out well, the woman is subjected to relentless social pressure and quits her job. No issues at all

I've unfortunately read up to episode 6 (it ends at 7) of this crap and can assure you it's a waste of a time. It's a waste of time to read it in the first place, let alone translate the drat thing. Translating it can't be even remotely efficient considering it's all done MSPaint.

Goons don't need any additional insight into how NEETs live, just open any E/N thread with a basement-dwelling 30-something retail or call center goon describing themselves as "smart but lazy," then take away the job.

Quoting this burning hot take from page 1 for posterity
