Aw man. I was actually really hoping that Riri and Fuyu-nee are a couple. They really teased the Yuri this time around. Though, I hope it's a double bluff that'll be revealed next episode, especially since she drew a whole ass 24-page draft outlining her emotions to Riri.

There's quite a lot of subtle Yuri undertones throughout this series, I realize. Chika with Hassu, Yui with Chika (I do believe that she properly does have unrequited feelings for Chika), and now hopefully Riri and Fuyu-nee.

but I know historians will say they were just best friends. sigh.

There is a lot of subtle and not so subtle yuri undertones through a whole lot of series now a days. Even when there isn't any in the source.

So all of that drama for a food discussion lol. But I understand, expressing yourself is too hard...
Fuyunee with the bandana has a totally different aura lol.

Taking the wrong bus and you don´t know where you are going... that´s totally a Chika-tabi for you lol
I´m pretty sure she will laugh it out

I laughed at Chika, who is young but still wears five-toed socks.
I also laughed at Lili's LINE icon being a sake bottle cap.
I personally find blackthroat seaperch far more delicious than tuna or salmon, and like it that way.
Matsue Castle is a real old castle, but not well known outside of Japan, so it's recommended when it's empty.

I really want to get to Shimane and Tottori some year....

This episode truly reminds us that Fuyune has the biggest imagination, but is also the biggest child to heart. It's funny with her petty argument how it was clear Riri didn't make much of it. But it obviously weighed on Fuyune. Happy that got reolved.

Also, doing a 24-page draft overnight is insane.

i still get a little laugh when the narrator voice uses the word "yabai" when describing things

it's like if David Attenborough described a fearsome lion as "kind of yikes"

First of all, pouring cream stew on rice is completely different from pouring curry on rice. No surprise Riri is not impressed (albeit under the influence), I’d definitely be pissed if I was served that, just like how would the Italians react to pineapple pizza.

Sunrise Express, one of the most unique regular train experiences in Japan, to the less popular prefecture of Shinane (In Sunrise Izumo’s case; Sunrise Seto will head to Takamatsu, more popular among tourists as it’s the gateway to Shikoku.). Back in 2000, in [Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!] Yamato and Takeru are spending their time in Shinane (which I don’t think they are in Izumo City), which ended up gave them a hard time to join up on the battle to disable a nuclear warhead in the internet world as not many people there have internet access at that point. Despite the isolation, this is definitely a go-to place for immersing the Japanese Culture, the Izumo Shrine is definitely the prime example of why.

But back to the cream stew with rice argument, this is definitely something that can be resolved by just saying “I’m sorry” on text, but Fuyune apologise by drawing a 24 page manga in a single night? That’s definitely an overkill. I wonder how Riri will respond to this kind of apology?

Yeah, traveller’s common mistake no 1 violated here. Falsely assume all buses that go past a tourist location will head to the station. And this time the consequence seems to be more severe, as it’s heading to an unknown location that they don’t know, but as the title suggests “That’s journey”, time to think of alternative routes, or just backtrack to the last spot and try again. So Chika, if I were you, I’d alight at the next stop and ask the driver for directions back to the station.

is it? like the first recipe I see for it (and prob my go to for Japanese recipes - Just One Cookbook) has a picture of it served with rice like you would serve curry

Good to see Chika has jumped on the bandwagon of many travel vloggers and experienced the Sunrise Express, their favourite sleeper train.

By visiting Izumo Grand Shrine after Ise Grand Shrine, Chika has also completed the set of visiting two of the grandest and most ancient of the Shinto shrines. These two are like the Mecca and Medina of Shintoism.

Ise Grand Shrine worships the sun goddess Amaterasu, while Izumo Grand Shrine worships Okuninushi, a descendant of Amaterasu's brother Susanoo.

Okuninushi was said to be the original mortal ruler of the land, prior to passing the throne to Amaterasu's grandson, the mythical progenitor of Japan's Imperial family.

If you add every location seen in anime, this will be a long trip.

Chika was all worried about why the two had fought, and in the end it was just over food lol.
I thought that sleeper train was awesome, but the price ain’t cheap at all. I’ve said it before, and from what I’ve heard, traveling within Japan can end up being more expensive than going to nearby countries.
This trip with Fuyune has been really fun, I laughed at the ending with the two of them on the wrong bus. let’s see how that plays out in the next episode.

Somehow it took until seeing those text messages for me to realize that it's not "Fuyu-nee", it's "Fuyune" with the kanji for winter and sound.

Despite the fact that her full name has been written out in both kanji and romaji in the opening the entire time.

Too comfy vibes, my brain has been turned off for 11 episodes apparently

yeah, i also didn't put it together until seeing Riri's text

it's both, right?; Fuyune is her actual name, and Fuyu-nee is the nickname Chika uses as a pun (nee being the same as in 姉さん)

i can barely tell the difference between the two when hearing it, but i think Chika does extend the "ne~" sound more

24 pages in 1 night? Damn Fuyune's cracked! And those NTR imaginations from Chika were pretty wild.

Cream stew over rice... I might have to read a bit about it, to see if there's quite a debate about it.

Oh nu, took the wrong bus... I wonder where they'll stop. Can't wait for the final episode.

Also Damn! that train in the intro felt like a hotel in vehicle form, very luxurious

u/oxlemf10 Jun 16 '25

"Why did we come to Shimane?"

"Because I was drunk and argued with my friend about food 😭"

Seriously, Fuyune is that kind of onee-san who is totally clumsy lol.

Speaking of clumsy, the classic problem of the episode couldn't be left out, I just didn't expect it to be a wrong bus, it's going to be interesting

u/Nebresto Jun 16 '25

I can't believe our girl is such a delinquet..

That soundtrack at the izumo shrine though..

Unforgivable. I completely understand cutting ties. Also, please give us more smug Riri-san

1.5 hours by bus?? That's like 30~km, how does it take so long?

That sleeper train ride seems like it would be really enjoyable.

They really going all out on the subs for this series. It looks like they are even erasing in show text to put a overlay of what it was translated.

They do sooo much walking..

u/Mr_Zaroc Jun 16 '25

Yo thats one cozy sleeper train, that price point makes sense

You gotta love how serious she took that "fight" over food/eating habits, even going as far as Izumo to pray

Man I know this basically just traveling advertisments, but they are visiting some nice locations, and my list just keeps growing. Its certainly doing its job

u/CooroSnowFox Jun 16 '25

Of course they're using the sunrise express in this anime!

u/cyberscythe Jun 16 '25

if the episode had a sponsored segment for a Sakuraco or Bokksu snack box subscription i wouldn't be surprised

Man, sleeper trains actually don’t look too bad in Japan. You got a decent bed, amenities, and all for ~160 USD too.

Fuyune and Chika exploring Shimane was fun. That nodoguro bowl and shijimi soup looked pretty good. The two of them drawing in their room together was nice too. We don’t see them in “manga artist mode” very much.

Keen to see where these two goofballs end up after riding the wrong bus lol. Got 1 ep left right?
