Found 3 four-leaf ones today, and I thought I found 3 but upon careful inspection, this three-leaf has one of the leaflets mutating into two. Thought this sub might appreciate this find.
Scanlated by yours truly, HQ link: https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/qe4g6kb2byj/1/1/
Will put MangaUp's version in this spot whenever those appear later on other sites.
- the bickering between the siblings felt so natural. Very nice character moments.
- Inenbi is a 'ghost fire' yokai in Okinawan folklore. Basically Japanese version of the West's willow-o-wisp.
- Something interesting is at the end where they state they want them dead instead of, you'd assume, captured, if these two belonged to a Nishino wielder.

Title: Feast and Yearning
- Sibling-time chapters are always so wholesome and heartwarming to read.
- The pig that Left spots is probably a reference to the One-Eared Pig, a yokai in Okinawan mythology.
- The bit when Funadama questions Left's autonomy/beliefs was interesting. Interesting because of 1. it conflicts with Ivan/Nishino's whole schtick that Left needs to be taken out prior to Yuru getting Seal. And 2. why does Funadama naturally think Yuru will power trip or become corrupted.
I predict next chapter we'll see a few more Okinawan references before they reach their grandmother's place. Then we may or may not also get a glimpse of who the master of those spider tsugai is.
Chapter 55: Banquet and Yearning
Yomi no Tsugai is on this month's cover. They'll also be getting opening colour pages in this month's chapter 55.
(and those flowers are Morning Glory....because Asa's name means 'morning' in Japanese)
There are a bunch of IRL locations in Yomi no Tsugai.
Joyful Honda, Mizuho

Tokyo Metropolitan Govt Building
Shinjuku Dori Ave, East Exit JR station side.
Chapter 54: Funadama-sama and Umibozu.
EDIT: MangaUp's re-upload is now available: https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/n87wbbzgq7x/1/1/
Picking up from the last chapter, we find out Pokemon trainer guy's name is Sumiyoshi Kurou, he usually travels with ships to protect the seas from Umibozu.
With Yuru as bait, they discover Umibozu's real bodies' location, get anchored out and captured by Funadama then Break'd. Their master also captured, explains he's tasked by a Nishino spy to grab the twins while out at sea.
Kurou suggests skipping Motobu Port and go directly to Naha Port out of safety. Upon reaching Naha Port, Kurou invites them to his place as thanks for helping out.
Some cinematic looking shots that I thought stood out while watching weekly. (ep1-9)

Thoughts:
- The Japanese pronunciation of Hunting and Fishing is the same phonetically; 猟と漁 (ryō to ryō). Title's almost like a pun.
- Funadama is a Shinto goddess/guardian spirit of ships, boats, and maritime safety. Often prayed to for protection by sailors and fisherman by carrying/placing a doll, dice, or coin in the mast.
- The new pair's design is sick as heck.
- Love how much humour they crammed into the chapter. (the firearm laws callback, the aliens running gag, the barfing, seeing Left/Right fanboy at their intro, using Yuru as bait at the end is absolute comedy)
- At this point the Pokemon trainer guy could be with the Public Security Bureau since he's technically keeping society in order and doesn't recognize the two. I wonder what his reaction will be if he finds out they're The Twins™.
- I hope this little confrontation ends quickly in the next chapter. Really wanna see them get to Okinawa and start revealing what is there. (they're most likely going to the grandmother's place)
