Doing another desperate, last-minute “speed run” through this week’s commentaries, folks! Apologies in advance for a lesser amount of blithering and self-criticism than usual. (Though, does criticism of Decade-Ago Me really count as self-criticism, given the disregard that saintly, flawless Present-Day Me holds for foolish, incompetent Past Me in general?)

Panel 2: Gotta say, I’ve never really given much thought as to exactly what beer Ninjette might be drinking, though the always indistinct labels usually look like those of generically Sam Adams-ish craft beers. I can say for certain that her hard-drinking father, being the World’s Meanest and Most Violent Weeaboo, would definitely partake only of Japanese beer—but Kozue-chan, I’m not so sure about.
