Everyone else: Wednesday no!

Wednesday: Wednesday yes.

Enid: Wednesday no!

In EP. 257 of Kakegurui Kari from Volume 9, Kirari hasn’t been sleeping well, so she approaches Miyo about hopefully procuring a medication to help her sleep. Turns out it works a little too well!

You can read this episode and all the others I’ve translated on MangaDex here.

Y’all have probably noticed this too, but Sayaka knows something is off when Kirari and Ririka do a switch…she just doesn’t know what it is because she lacks tangible, logical proof that something is amiss. Someone as logical as Sayaka would never trust her gut alone, even when it’s telling her that something just isn’t right.

This is gonna be long-ish, so more after the jump.

Natsume Soseki (1867 - 1916) was a Meiji era novelist and is widely regarded as one of, if not the most important and influential novelist in modern Japanese history. So prominent is Natsume’s place in Japanese history and culture that Natsume’s portrait was featured on the 1000 yen note for twenty years, from 1984 to 2004. 

Prior to becoming a writer, Natsume was a teacher, first at Matsuyama MIddle School, which would serve as inspiration for one of his most famous novels, 坊っちゃん (Botchan), and then Fifth High School in Kumamoto. 

In 1900, he was sent by the Japanese Government to study English literature in Great Britain. By all accounts, he did not enjoy his time studying abroad. Of his time spent at University Collect London, Natsume wrote; “The two years I spent in London were the most unpleasant years in my life. Among English gentlemen I lived in misery, like a poor dog that had strayed among a pack of wolves.”
