Hikari no Naka

You mean the radio talk?

Yes, it is illegal to download and reupload it. But you never know what some fans are capable of doing lol. Machida's radio talkshow (which I heard also need to pay) is on YT already and oh my, that's where I got to like his voice a lot. Seriously he sounds much better than some of radio announcers.

I hope someone will upload the talkshow later. I like listening to him talking, he has such as a gentle and calming voice.

As Kurosawa said "I'm the type that save the fun for later" XD

Here is my understanding on why Kurosawa offered to break up. Adachi is clearly tormented between giving up or keeping his magic. He was ready to give it up at the beginning of episode, but then the presentation incident made him lose his confidence in his own ability and he had to rely on his magic.
If he still has this magic, he can still read Kurosawa's minds (purposedly or unpurposedly) which he doesn't want to since it's not fair for Kurosawa. But if he lost the magic, which I assume will happen when he's being intimate with Kurosawa, he doesn't have the confidence that his relationship will go well. Kurosawa saw Adachi's inner conflict and it was all because of his relationship with Kurosawa. Therefore he offered the breakup since it is the easiest way out for Adachi, to enable him to "retreat to his shell" and not to worry on whether to give up or keep his magic. Adachi, being used to run away, heartbrokenly accepted this offer.
Kurosawa is the most selfless man in the world, even the manga author herself made a tweet saying that he is a mere human after all, it's OK if he is a bit more selfish *sigh*

But I have to applause the screenwriter, she explored this issue much deeper than manga version, taking into account Adachi's low self-esteem character it is indeed not very easy to let go of his magic like that. Manga version (so far) is taking a rather simpler approach when Kurosawa found out about Adachi's power.

One of the women is Gyaru Sone, queen of big eaters, it's a simple challenge for her lol. But Machida ate 1.5kg is already quite impressive, if me I'd have vomited already >.< and what's with the rivalry between Gunma and Tochigi prefecture? hahaha

Japanese fans are sure dedicated :D

Part 3 of Pilgrimage to Cherry Maho's Sacred Sites. The fan even bought the same dishes in the izakaya. Talk about dedication :)

If the rating stays like this, it is now the 2nd highest rating for drama on MDL, after ITSAY.

OMG, yes please :))

You just don't know what some crazy fans will do.. but you're right, let's see how long this rating will last hahaha. For me, this comment section is the only worth thing about this site :D

Some of the dramas' rating that used to be the highest rated are not back yet. Uh oh.. I hope their fans will not attack us.. T_T

Woow!! But how did it happen? Did other shows' rating increase too?

Me neither.. just wondering where people got the idea from?

I think after Ep 11, now we can abolish the theory that Kurosawa is virgin , don't you think? When Adachi asks Kurosawa to teach him "that" and Kurosawa agrees, it's already a clear indication that he's no virgin :)

Exactly. I saw an example of bad subs which could literally break the drama. In Ep 4 where Adachi tried to save Fujisaki from the punks, he said "kanojo" which could mean "she" or "girlfriend". It is very clear that in this context, it means "she". But one of Chinese subbers translated it as "my girlfriend", which caused the fans to start disliking Adachi and questioning his character. Geez. I'm glad we have Irozuku who takes the translation very seriously.

I'm curious about WeTV translation of Ep 11. I saw a WeTV clip from the scene of Adachi's breakdown, and it looks quite OK. At least better than their subs of Ep 1 and Kurodachi's getting together, which is... bad.

Anyone else think they should have another Akaso-Machida's livestream before the final episode to revive us a bit? I desperately need that, I'm gonna go beg the official account now.

Lol thanks. I work hard on my Japanese thanks to CM :D

I may want to give info here solely based on the official source.
Ep 12 will be on 12/24 at 25:30 on TV Tokyo. Spin off eps will also be on 12/24 from late night (they don't mention any exact time). So we don't know whether the spin off will be after or before Ep12, but they both will be on Thursday late night.
Since they will be on different platform (paid platform), not all people can watch the spin off eps right away, so most people will watch Ep 12 first before the spin off.

Please note the confusing time that Japanese TV often uses. For example: Ep 12 will be on 12/24, which is Thursday, at 25:30 (1:30 am) which is technically already Friday, but they still use Thursday as the day.
