The chocolates must’ve been a real chore to retouch, because some things had to be shuffled so everything made sense in English. Thanks Sabrina!

Is also out.

I find extreme characters like the evil Kyoko, Reino, and Ren in his demon lord mode a lot easier to do. Wonder if it’s because they have such distinctive characteristics or whether I just happen to synchronize better with such characters.

Chiori’s lines were as draining to do as the grudge-filled Kyoko’s lines, as she’s got years of pent-up frustration and grudges piled up inside her (@_@;;)

Kaki no tane

Here’s a packet of regular-flavored Kaki-P:

There’re Kaki-P where the crackers are coated in various flavors of chocolate (milk, strawberry, cafe-au-lait, etc.), which helps offset the spiciness. There’s a wasabi-flavored Kaki-P which is pretty hot (but good with beer). There’re also the occasional sold-for-a-limited-time-only flavors. Last year there was a black-pepper-flavored one.

Kyoto Vegetables

37 vegetables that have passed the standards set by Kyoto Prefecture are certified as “Traditional Kyoto Vegetables”.

An example of a Kyoto vegetable is Kintoki carrots, which are reddish orange and thin carrots. Kamo eggplants are plum, round eggplants, and are good for stewing or roasting them and coating them with miso.

Tokyo has “Edo vegetables”. During the Edo era, daimyos brought local vegetables to Edo, and improved them to match the Edo environment better.
