I shamelessly lifted the idea from Richie Rich comics, which frequently utilized literal sound effects. Some Japanese effects simply have no other viable equivalent in English.

Oh. Well that's food for thought. Well, I'll try to study the train lines for Akihabara since I'm going to Japan next April.

Isn't that 'Tokyo Station'? I don't think there's a 'Tokyo Line' as such, unless you count bus services.

Oops—fixed. I'd been glancing at the poll before translating that, and mentally filled in the wrong kanji.

A white-hot Tokyo Big Sight.
A raging tsuchigumo, a sobbing sweetener.
Just what happened to him?
Next time: "When the Satos Cry: Explanation". Watch for it!

And so, we begin the "Comic Market 84" chapter today. There's a high chance this time that structurally, it'll be jumping all over the place time-wise. I want to make efforts to rise positively to the challenge of drawing it so it's easy to understand!

Reader-added tags include "That's a boomerang pitching style, Yamame-san", "One man's fault is another's lesson, Yamame-san", and "I anticipate the punch line, Yamame-san".

The survey is troubled over train travel:

How should I get to Akihabara?
• The Yamanote Line
• The Sōbu Line
• The Keiō Line
• The Hibiya Line
• The Tsukuba Express

But she does at least call when she's running late...

You're one to talk, Yamame-san.

Now, feel the pain of waiting for late arrivals!
