You enjoy learning about the Japanese language, food, culture and humour from translator's notes. In this manga, the translator offers a whole page for chapter 2, but one is missing. On this page:
Saitou runs off holding his crotch after Masa tells him he can see his "throat dangler". So, why would Saitou grab his crotch? One of the kanji for throat is pronounced "inkou" and one of the kanji for penis is pronounced "inkei". Saitou may have misheard Masa thinking he said, "I can see your penis..." The Japanese do love to play with words!
Just a little addition to the vast array of knowledge found in translator's notes. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
