its unfortunate that i dont understand this joke

 

[Blackrobe]

@ninjakai03 it's most probably has to do with the drawing, which is a rock-star. And fly-me away be the song's name.

 

[Nintendocat]

@blackrobe You say that but unless it was redrawn by the scanlators to fit a joke in English then it's likely not going for 'rock-star'. I'd honestly say it looks more like a blueberry since there seems to be a blue scribble over it but it could also be a persimmon or another fruit.

I thought it was an orange. Let me go see if I could understand the raws

Edit: nope. I can read it but I don't get it. I'll ask my friend who speaks Japanese when he gets online.

 

[Kayriel]

Are we thinking too hard? After all it fell flat even with the people who should understand it/the characters.

 

[Choco_Pudding]

Japanese-speaking friend to the rescue! It's a pun between "leaving the nest" (sudachi 巣立ち) and sudachi, (酢橘) a Japanese fruit.
@Kayriel @Nintendocat @Blackrobe @ninjakai03

The scanlation group probably put the dash in "fly-me" to make it sound like "lime"; but since the "E" in "me" is pronounced I think it was just too much of a stretch.

@Choco_Pudding thank you and your friend for the explanation! I did guess it was a pun with the kanji reading and that it probably was impossible to translate I feel for the scanlators, but it's nice to know :)

Idk man, a sense of humor? Might make him more perfect.
