It's been pointed out elsewhere but the fundraising lady appears to be Kii-chan who must have stopped aging after she turned 20 given that I thought this was supposed to take place decades after WataMote.

Another thing, wasn't Shokichi-san a normal-sized teddy bear before? Now he looks as small as a Beanie Baby. Come to think of it, he looks normal at the beginning of the chapter but appears to shrink as soon as Yukiko Koshigaya (Komari's mother) picks him up.

Ah, it's the dreaded chapter you get in comedy manga now and then with puns and word play that absolutely doesn't work in English. I know it's not the translator's fault. I wonder how Seven Seas will handle this chapter? Guess I'll find out in, what, two years at the current rate the volumes...

The character I started reading this manga for was Sakurakou so this is an A grade chapter for me.

Even if it turns out that Mary did return Ren home for a while, I don't see why the manga would be "over". It just establishes that transportation between worlds isn't one way. Not all isekais are one way-only. Fushigi Yuugi had characters go back and forth. Mary still knows how to bring him...

Option 1: Mary returned Ren to his world. Option 2: It's a dream. Option 3: (Most interesting possibility to me)

Promotional video by Square Enix for volume 1 of the My Recently Hired Maid is Mysterious/Suspicious tankoubon. I'm not sure who the voiceover artist is, there's no "CV" credit. I don't think it's Konbu Wakame herself, her voice in those livestreams where she draws while talking via an animated...

The main Koumi/Nakaumi station in real life, looking very close to the manga other than how the attached convenience store (?) pharmacy name was changed for trademark reasons. I'm not sure whether Nakaumi is an alternate place name for Koumi that people use in the real world or whether it's just...

@Dradetias Not really, it was just an outer suburb for people with cars essentially. There was a little bit of forest near where I lived but they built a new residential development there just as we were moving away.

They had huge sandy river beaches within an hour's or so drive of where I used to live, just outside of Montreal. Then again, the river in question is the St. Lawrence which is as wide as a lake anyway.

I used to live just outside of Montreal in a town with a population on the low end of medium-sized where the only public transit (at the time I lived there) was a train and a train every half hour would have been a massive improvement over the schedule we had at the time which was more like "one...

Here's the station in real life Koumi. I guess the mangaka calling Koumi "Nakaumi" means that it's a slightly fictionalized version of the town, similar to how Hiroshima is called "Shiroshima" in Tanaka-kun is Always Listless. I think Hiyumi looks a lot like Mikoto Misaka from Index/Railgun.

@Tezcatlipoca Chapter 144.1, the chapter with the flashback to Hina Nemoto's days in junior high school and when she first met Akane Okada.

@s07195 Here's a tweet with Yuuko Kurose at the WataMote exposition last year. Here's a second Tweet where she talks about how Nemo was her first role (aside from other miscellaneous unnamed girls in various WataMote episodes) and how she was happy to learn that Nemo had the same voice acting...

They have to walk a mile to the nearest convenience store? So it's still more urban than Asahigaoka Village in Non Non Biyori, where the closest convenience store (not to be confused with the candy shop) is around an hour or so away by bike.

@RandomFanguy Yuuko Kurose, Hina Nemoto's voice actress from the anime (wasn't a big role but Nemo did speak a few times), mentioned at a WataMote manga event last year that she'd be interested in voicing Nemoto again. Kurose was also the voice of Kōko "Coco-chan" Nosa in High School...

@nightmoves17 I strongly suspect that much of Hina Nemoto's personality especially her aspirations to become a voice actress is based directly on Izumi Kiita, Tomoko's voice actress from the anime who is also heavily involved in the yuri manga scene as both a writer and editor, so, yes, any...

Why would the hotel room bathroom have a window with the shade pulley on the bedroom side? Seems like, umm, a bad design for anyone concerned about privacy.

Is Suzume from Japan originally before she went to Britain? I suppose it's possible that she was born in England to at least one Japanese parent (since "Suzume" is a Japanese name) but, if she was born in Japan, she must have left Japan at a very young age if she's unfamiliar with taiyaki. I've...

Sea urchin ice cream, if it exists, would be more appropriate for Halifax than Montreal. If it's set in Montreal, the recurring gag food item should really be Poutine.
