I'll check the masterposts later I guess but here's a link that should work

There is a short manga that is published every week that’s only 2 or 3 pages for each episode! It is called SK8 Chill Out! I’m going through and translating all the ones out so far and I will update this post as the chapters are published to keep them together!

I'm told that Utsumi says in the audio commentary on the BD that there's 61 karuta cards and I found 61, albeit some of them only partial cards lol.... so here is my list!

with screenshots, Japanese text to the best of my ability (some of them are hard to read), and English translations

The karuta are supposed to be written in poem form and have 5 and 7 syllables in Japanese but for translating I just went with the closest meaning I didn't try to make them poems lol

Rented cat

This in an idiom in Japanese that means someone is acting quieter/more meek than usual.

Hiyayakko

Sure, this does say hiyayakko, though I don't know if people would know what that is without looking it up... it just means chilled tofu.

But the kanji also makes it a little bit of a joke because the name of the dish is a bit of a pun... the kanji 冷奴 literally means chilled servant. The explanation I've heard of this is because servants of samurai during the edo period wore outfits with a square symbol on them.

The second kanji 奴 is also used for やつ(yatsu) which means guy so you could read it as cool guy.

Karuta

I made a list of all the cards here but even after watching it I feel like people might not know how to play. Karuta is a matching game. You have to make two matching decks, the reading deck and the grabbing deck. The players lay all the grabbing deck cards out in a random order and then they read a card from the reading deck and search for the matching card as fast as they can.

Piggyback

Langa doesn't recognize the Japanese word for piggyback because it's a word that came to Japanese through Portuguese. It originated from the Portuguese word ombro(shoulders/back).

Joe's long nose

Reki: Do your best, Old man! I mean Hiromi-old man!

Langa: Do your best, Hiromi-chan! ...who's Hiromi?
