As she herself says, "I can be shot."

For some reason, this translator consistently leaves untransliterated the "Itadakimasu" said at mealtimes. I assume it's equal parts that a) there's no English equivalent and b) the balloons are too skinny.

It's probably a good thing that Ix was still on the technomagical equivalent of an IV at the time.

I think this is where I'm supposed to say, "I want Suzu to step on me, hah hah hah" but I really could use a deep-tissue massage, so...

Amano here features in one of the author's other series, Joshidaisei Kateikyoushi Hamanaka Ai.

For those wondering, a codpiece is a bit of medieval men's fashion, a sort of pouch to hold and emphasize the genitals (from the older English "cod" = scrotum) — which doesn't make much sense here. What Aria is holding there, all censored, is presumably actually a sort of dildo called a...

Specifically, from a cup made by sitting while pressing the thighs together; "wakame" translates as "seaweed", so it's "seaweed sake", because of the appearance of the floating pubic hair.

To be fair, Japanese student governments really do have more power than those in Western countries — allocating club budgets, running school events, and so forth. This came about first from restructuring done during the US occupation following WWII, to train students in democracy, and then...

Yeah, that interviewer is Shiho from _Idol no Akahon_, who was more or less Shino's prototype, and she and Shino share a voice actress as well.

I worry about rock-climbing wall places without proper rope belaying — you're depending a lot on untrained people landing well on that mat.

It's so rare to see Aria doing the tsukkomi.

The Japanese term is "Sazae-san time", in reference to the anime about a housewife that's been running, with nobody aging, every Sunday night since 1969 — though if you want Western examples, think comic strips like _Peanuts_ or _Calvin and Hobbes_: ongoing events, references to passing...

Well, Suzu-chan got Tsuda's lap pillow out of it, so it's not all bad. (I think this is the second time Hata has gone for this penis gag — the first was when Aria and Suzu were holding his hands during the Seven Mysteries investigation (ch.98), and she told Shino, "His dick is still free.")

Wow, Furuya was just ahead of the vinyl resurgence. Everything old is new again. (It's much bigger in the West, partly because CD sales in Japan didn't fall off like they did in the US, but 1.2 million vinyl records still sold in Japan in 2019.)

I think his "Don't include Kotomi!" is both a) Tsuda's funniest line and b) the closest he gets to admitting he's aiming for the harem end.

According to the author's note, Mutsumi and Suzu are making the shape for the kanji for 7 (七).

I'd assume it's play; that they've previously agreed that she's gonna wake Mr. Hagimura up with sex, or that she has general permission to do so — which seems par for the course among the parents in this manga, fwiw — but it's probably a bit much detail to be sharing with your teenage daughter...

There's a judo match much later on where the author straight out admits "I'm not good enough to show how amazing the match was, but anyway, Mutsumi won."

So I guess the second strip is to set up the theoretical college spinoff, in which Suzu inexplicably lives in Tsuda's dorm room closet — a dorm where Shino is Resident Advisor and Aria owns the building — and he _still_ hasn't figured it out.

Her name is a reference to Admiral Matthew Perry, the (American) commander who opened Japan and triggered the Meiji Restoration.
