I’ve started re-reading it from the beginning, and there are tons of cool mentions early on that get explained later and such, but there are a few things I don’t understand.

http://vatoto.com/read/_/87296/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch15_by_thetsuuyaku/6
What was the food critic story all about? What’s that about Buddha?

Also this isn’t something I don’t understand but rather it’s an inconsistency I found by re-reading:
He says he likes big boobs: http://vatoto.com/read/_/89035/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch24_by_thetsuuyaku/2
He says he likes small boobs: http://vatoto.com/read/_/178264/the-voynich-hotel_ch58_by_thetsuuyaku/8
I guess maybe you could say his love for Elena changed him.
Then there’s this other one:
First Elena says she’d like to visit maid cafes in Akihabara: http://vatoto.com/read/_/86853/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch13_by_thetsuuyaku/3
Then it’s Tachikawa: http://vatoto.com/read/_/172570/the-voynich-hotel_ch56_by_thetsuuyaku/3

What do the numbers after DAYS in these mean?
http://vatoto.com/read/_/85053/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch1_by_thetsuuyaku/5
http://vatoto.com/read/_/165787/the-voynich-hotel_v2_ch27_by_thetsuuyaku/3
In the first they’re all increments of either 8 or 6 from the previous number, except for one which is +12. In the second it’s the same, except there is a +12 exception and a +10 exception. They both start with 3.

I really think this manga should have a wikia for itself. It’s so full of random info dispersed through the chapters, it’s pretty much impossible to remember but it could be organized in a wiki.

"What do the numbers after DAYS in these mean?"
They are the page numbers in the japanese manga volumes.

First Elena says she’d like to visit maid cafes in Akihabara: *forgot which chapter this was*
Then it’s Tachikawa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa
http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/Japan/Tokyo_to/Tachikawa-969847/Things_To_Do-Tachikawa-TG-C-1.html

Elena is hyped about all things japanese! There's plenty references on that :)
She just wants to be with Taizou and have him show her around...

- Wasn't there a scene where the cook was smoking a joint? Besides, these pages are explaining more about the character of Elise? and the owner. Elena wanted to help Elise, and probably used her magic to make the gourmet dining guide give the hotel a 3*** rating. That way, Elise wouldn't seem to be weird.

"Also this isn’t something I don’t understand but rather it’s an inconsistency I found by re-reading:

Alice's sister was hitting on him, and she was basically asking him whether he liked her boobs.
As he's together with Elena, he made it clear to her he wasn't into her.

I don’t think the cook ever did drugs… the druggie was that police girl who infiltrated the other 2 girls growing drugs in their room. Also if with Elise you meant the cook, I don’t think that’s her name. But that makes sense that Elena helped her, though I still don’t get the Buddha.

Edit: a few pages before that the owner calls her “Amelia”.

Edit2: new question:

Who’s the ghost that appears multiple times in the boiler room? http://vatoto.com/read/_/86853/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch13_by_thetsuuyaku/2

And here is where Elena talks about Akihabara btw: http://vatoto.com/read/_/86853/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch13_by_thetsuuyaku/3

As for the boiler room ghost, I think it's the 3rd sister (not a ghost, just shadowy appearance).  I don't have any concrete proof, but when the sleuths go down to investigate, don't they open up the 3rd sisters tomb from the boiler room area?

Yeah, I guess that’s possible. Sounds a bit weird though, there isn’t any proof of it, and I’m also not sure if she can walk out of that room from inside. Also the shadowy appearance shows knowledge of how the boiler thing works…

This the page where the sleuth find her: http://vatoto.com/read/_/89447/the-voynich-hotel_v1_ch25_by_thetsuuyaku

For the food critic read H i think their is a H made by douman explaining some stuff(or at least made that H manga and made a series with that H manga in mind)

1.the food critic(maybe)
2.the stuff the manga artist heard next door
3.Why the boiler broke
4.Who did that murder in the hotel which they said wasn't done by slark(the first intro of the robot chapter i think the bloody room or something)

/g/501773/6202b0b768/ <this is okay right ? 

you could say this was the first chapter of voynich hotel lol

 

if you guys don't know how to use that link search sadpanda or at least the white version of sadpanda the one with out blocking google is the key
