Editor feels too shitty and has Shadows of the Damned to deal with BnHC3, should be out within a few days. For now, have the Shiitake Hikari Club webcomic from Furuya's blog. 12 pages.

oh, shiitake means "mushroom", isn't it?

God dammit, Blogspot hasn't been letting me post anonymous comments again for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYes and no. A shiitake is a type of mushroom that's commonly found in East Asia. There's a few other types of mushrooms mentioned throughout the comics, such as the king's trumpet and the maitake (which wiki tells me is commonly known in the west as a ram's head mushroom, if that helps?)
TL;DR Furuya seems to have been obsessed with mushroom jokes.
Thank you so much! Glad to know you'll be translating more of Nakamura Asumiko's works :)
