okay, since we got the jonouchi air max collab, when's the bakura new balance deal?

Kaiju No. 8 Ch 129: The two people referenced here are parodies on Gakki (Yui Aragaki) and Gen Hoshino, two celebrities who were co-stars on “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu" where two roommates enter a contractual marriag actually did marry in 2021. https://t.co/28kr2P6982

Gokurakugai Ch 27: Alma once again sings commercial jingles. This one is for Tsuki ni Ukarete (Giddy from the Moon) Kinchou Manju custard buns where the mascots are the Kincho Tanuki, based on Kincho, the famous bake-danuki of Komatsushima.

I'll never forget when I was working on Undead Unluck's chap where Enjin is serving ramen in Times Square and Nico remarks 1000 yen is expensive. I explained ramen price to Tozuka-sensei and he, who was visiting NYC, and his eyes bugged when I showed him a receipt from Ichiran 🥲 https://t.co/mQgMqywLc6

Syd Craft Ch 18: I hadn't brought this up before, but because Mistcat robs from the corrupt rich and gives to the poor, most of the places she robs from have some sort of "evil" subtext behind them.

Funny update: Come to find out this typo was caught and fixed JP side. Our manuscript said 保つことに固辞 (tamotsu ni koji/firm denial to preserving) which read wrong. After pondering, I realized it was likely the homophone 固持 (koji/adherence.) Final ver is 固執 (adherence.) https://t.co/gj3qtNNUX8

I brought this up bc Shueisha gives Viz these photoblue scans that are basically unusable unless I correct them manually but they'll still have the watermark anyway. You can see an example here from the Naruto interview which I still highly recommend you all read! https://t.co/EBRGc1oenv

ちょっとした裏話だけど、英語版『すべそれ』2巻が発売されたので英語圏内で見れる立ち読みサンプルはドン！と尻取りスタートだけどあのアンデラの全言語死理取りより数倍優しいし日本語をローマ字に起こしてもOKって許可をもらって念の為プチ尻取り説明の脚注もつけて丸く収まりました✌️

Undead 237: Clothes wishes the two 最高の福 (the greatest of happiness) but 福 (fuku/happiness) is a homophone with 服 (fuku/clothes.) Since no such similar words exist in English, stress is placed on a clothing/stitching related term ("weave") to sound natural.

Syd Craft 5: Here Elio mistakes a lot of Syd's words, but specifically the homonyms 隙 (suki/opening/weakness) and 好き (suki/like/love.) Doesn't work in English, so I worked off of the definition of 隙: Elio comes to a skewed conclusion instead of misinterpreting similar sounds.

Also, I hope you all enjoyed this week's chapter of Undead Unluck Chapter 234 and Syd Craft Chapter 4! Make sure you read them on the Shonen Jump app/website if you already haven't and have a great week!
