Angry Midori is best Midori.
i was going to wait til the chapter gap was filled but ch 71 was just too cute!
Which chapter is that again?
fixed
CDN NYC
page 31
anyone else got this ?
that page is the conclusion and there will be a huge cliffhanger without that page.
I like the punk barber.
And in that moment, Kamitani knew, he screwed up.
That one saved my heart from yesterday's Nukoduke!
Housewife is actually a cultural misunderstanding here. The term in Japanese is 主婦, which is commonly translated as housewife in English, but actually the true meaning is the mistress of the house.
In English, as PLG said, housewife has the connotation of a woman who stays at home and takes care of the household/her husband/her children.
In Japanese, the 主婦(shufu) is the head of household rather than the husband. She makes all decisions for the household, including all financial matters, or even when/where to go on vacation. The salaryman husband is expected to give his entire salary to his wife, who then makes all purchasing decisions, and may give him a small allowance to purchase some personal things such as for hobbies or to go drinking with his friends. This is true regardless of whether she is working as a career woman or not.
We do not have an equivalent term in English that is as convenient to use because households in Western countries generally do not operate the same way, which is why it has become common to use housewife when translated.
There is actually a specific term that is correctly translated as housewife, which is 専業主婦(sengyou shufu). Translated literally, it means a woman whose sole occupation is the mistress of the house. It would never be used to describe a woman who handles both work and home life, unlike 主婦.
Midori with the sunglasses: top quality content. The world needs more rad babies. (who am I kidding, all babies are rad)
My experience of the word "housewife" is that it is specific to women without jobs outside the home; a woman who works full time is not a "housewife" even if she has kids and does housework when she gets home. So, no, for the word as I know it you can't be a housewife and a teacher.
You have obviously skipped the first page.
This might sound rude, but does this series have a consistent proofreader? Some chapters have "Tamitani" and "Kotaru" used throughout the chapter.
Oh lawd... it's 'Usaida'. Hope it didn't confuse you in anyway!
Probabbly because they are the ones in their homes who do the house keeping. That's why they want the free rice so bad.
Thoughts on the chapter:
? Can't you be a housewife AND a teacher?
I was just smiling and enjoying this chapter full of cuteness when all of a sudden Taka in page 15 totally killed me LOL
Nope, there's no mix-up whatsoever. Our group decided to release the ongoing magazine chapters first since most of the chapters doesn't run a continuous plot.
I ship Kotaru and Kirin!!!
there's a sudden skip to ch 78, is it a numbering mix up? just curious.
