*the original text literally says "camera", so i took some liberties here.
**i couldn't find any good english resources on this term (岸壁採集), but it seems to be referring to catching larval fish and other small sea creatures from around the docks. it's basically what Koutarou was doing in chapters 18-20.
***yes this is part of the original text. i love this guy.

okay silly dsam headcanon of the day: as far as i know these two are the only keepers we see at magmell outside of the main cast (ch 4 & ch 6 respectively). i think they’re friends and also the ones who show up on the page where latimeria first gets introduced just because they look kind of similar

spoilers for the new extra edition that was just released on kurage bunch (image unrelated)
new osezaki family lore dropped! minato’s a rich kid, which i guess explains how he has the funds for an aquarium (though the prologue implies there were some issues that almost prevented them from opening? not entirely sure)
hi kouyou. gtranslate for this sentence switches between “you’re from my university, aren’t you?” and “you’re not from my university, are you?” depending on the single addition of a “…” at the end, which. i honestly have no clue how much that impacts the delivery of the line and there’s not enough context otherwise for me to decide which is the correct interpretation o(-(
either way it’s confirmed they met while they were in college, which retcons that one panel in ch 14 (and my header) that implies minato, kouyou, and nagiko have all known each other since middle/high school 🥲 you will be dearly missed…
(on that note i would love to learn more about nagiko soon. i know she’s dead but she was important to kouyou and minato too and we haven’t seen very much of her yet…)
(transcription/rough translation in the alt text) yeah i don’t have anything to say here. or actually i do i think it’s a little funny that this kouyou is probably around the same age as koutarou when he first started working at magmell (~ 20 years old?) but they don’t look that similar. sorry about the babyface koutarou
on a final note i just realized this is the first extra edition to not feature any sea creatures, which is interesting! (the title is just “onboard, 10 PM”)
okay that’s all goodbye

girlies when the rot and decay is so fundamentally interesting that they are compelled to observe it

"In my culture, we know death intimately. In Arabic, the highest expression of love is the phrase "ya'aburnee" Translated "you bury me" . It means "I love you so much, I'd sooner die than bury you". It was used by mothers in our lineage who were so used to losing their young in war. In my culture, we cannot talk about love without speaking death's name"
-George Abraham, "Untitled," Published In Black Napkin Press
