Gin no Saji

[Claies]

Oh, good. I was wondering why Arakawa didn't have Hachiken kill a pig earlier for the pizza. Kinda weird to involve a deer out of the blue, though.

[Kafriel]

Would kinda kill the pizza-happy mood...
So, I just picked this up after finally having nothing better to do, gotta say it is a lot lighter than I expected, and pretty interesting as well! The humour is very good, grandpa joke reached a level of lol I usually get from gintama and the like It's amazing to see how even the most basic things can be analyzed to this extent, and it got me wondering, if the school activities could be so perfectly illustrated, how will it develop once we get to the MC's choices? <-cue, next chapter, I'm dying to find out!

P.S: I'd totally eat the pig.

Well, that was an impressive tour of the Inada (et at.) GigaFarm. LOL at Tamako planning on making Hachiken a slave an employee of the co-op after they graduate. And she sure looks a lot like her more well-proportioned sister mother.

Hmm, it seems the Inada parents have something in store for Tamako-chan. Could we see another person crashing in with the Mikages?

Too bad we have to wait another month to find out...

P.S. I'd like to see Ichiro × Tamako: Greed × Greed

Wait, Arakawa's new manga is the Gin no Saji, so does that mean two or none possibilities:

Spoiler:

1. Either she had a hand on the creation of the character?, OR

2. Is that character going to appear in her manga?

[Claies]

I'm getting a little tired of the teasing with Hachiken's cell phone every chapter. He really should do something about it.

[kuroishinigami]

Hmmm... looks like Arakawa-sensei is not ready for weekly publication schedule yet looking at the number of breaks she(I think Arakawa-sensei is a woman right?) takes. Probably better that this series moved to a monthly magazine but with more pages number for each chapter(probably something like FMA's last chapter? :P)

Well, going by the latest chapter, someone in the Hachiken family finally did something about it. And judging by his reaction, Yugo did not take his brother's impromptu visit all too well.

I guess we'll finally get some details as to why Yugo doesn't like his family so much next chapter.

[Procrastinator_CA]

Spoiler for Chapter 20 - Summertime (10):

So, we finally get an idea why Yugo wanted to leave home so badly. Turns out that as much as Yugo doesn't like his brother, Shingo is actually the nice one. Guess Yugo resents the fact that everything comes to Shingo so easily...except for one thing.

Epic facepalm by Aki on Shingo's ramen.

[kuroishinigami]

How bad is his ramen for hachiken to spit it up from his nose lol. Great grandma is really interesting too lol.

[Shiroth]

Guess i can't say i'm surprised about Yugo's Father. He probably played a huge part as to why Yugo is the way he is.

[yuzen003]

Anyone else waiting for Hachiken will figure out he wants to be a chef? There have been multiple hints such as he constantly enjoys the food, cooking is the one thing his brother can't do apparently, he enjoyed cooking the pizza showing he is capable (unlike his brother) and got some satisfaction out of it, and he's learning how to prepare and source ingredients. It seems like the logical dream for him to find given his current experiences, but I'm curious if anyone has any other theories where the story is headed.

[LeaD36]

^we still dno what the title of the manga is supposedly about (there have been a few hints/foreshadowing so far, but nthn major)

[Mare Boy]

Just read the latest chapter... Summer memories sure are nice huh?

[kuroishinigami]

Mikage is such a cruelgirl alright, shooting down any hope for a flag promptly like that lol.

[Grey]

A man's worth can be seen by how he spends his money, eh? Hmmmm. I wonder how Hachiken will spend that money.

...maybe he'll buy Pork Bowl?

[LeaD36]

last panel of ch14 was great

[evil|plushie]

Lol, was pretty funny how the latest chapter ended

[Procrastinator_CA]

Man, gotta love Aki's BSOD upon hearing Yugo×Mayumi. I knew Arakawa gave her a proper introduction for something...

Spoiler for Misinterpreted quotes :):

"Man, I really worked up a sweat!"

"Yeah, I am giving the problem some serious thought. I'm a man too! I plan to take full responsiblility!

And Hachiken has finally decided how he will spend his hard-earned money. Will it go well?

I surprisingly found myself preferring Hachiken with Yoshino all of a sudden. For someone who likes being teasingly mean so much (see vs. Buddha for his cheese) she seems like a good match with the stuck-up Yugo.

I've never liked Aki the way she's drawn. Something in her face, her eyes, and her hair are uncharacteristically out of proportion for Arakawa's anatomy (actually, she draws Winry like that sometimes too, so maybe she's just weird with female leads). I keep wondering why Hachiken finds her attractive.

[Kafriel]

Damn, that was a funny chapter...how fast rumours spread So, Hachiken's gonna use his money at last, but he can't possibly keep a pet pig, and he can't run away from the inevitable delicious pork chops, so what's he gonna use it for?
