*** Where's Kaorin going to get the money?
*** Kaorin lives in a Western-style home, which means there's probably money in her family.

*** I've always thought the explanation was that Osaka's absentmindedness works like an analog number gauge; after it hits its top number, it rolls back over to zero.

** It's not even hard to imagine her saying that. If it was unclear, another variation of that simile is that it's like when you get a high-enough score in an old arcade video game, it resets itself back to zero to prevent itself from locking up because the cabinet's not powerful enough to process large numbers past a certain point. Osaka's spaciness may work similarly, and on occasion becomes an exceptionally clear perceptiveness of the world around her.
*** Well, [[MemeticMutation she does know about us.]]
*** She's also "fairly knowledgeable" about kanji.

** Osaka is implied to be [[HollywoodHomely pretty plain looking]], (which is hard to believe considering how damn [[{{Moe}} adorable she is.]]) so that might have something to do with it. Whats worse is that he avoids Osaka for that and the other obvious reason, but shows ''incredibly'' blatant interest in Chiyo-Chan.
** Doesn't she know whats with Kimura, and doesn't she already have a boyfriend?

*** She said "You don't have boyfriends to show your summer style to?" Or something like that.

*** This troper always thought that when his daughter got to High School, Kimura would be an OverprotectiveDad who at the same time constantly asks if his daughter's female friends will come over for a sleepover.

*** [[BuxomIsBetter Eight centimetres,]] anyone?

** This editor blames [[Main/AWizardDidIt the Wizards]]

*** None of the kids look like they aged much in that time, besides it's not like real life people go from little kids to Asuka Langley in three years time either.

*** Yes, soon they'll have a [[{{PaedoHunt}} perfectly normal society]] like ours.

** 'sha gym teccher. Good body, lossa muscle. Ken drink moren shtupi' [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Yukkuri]]... Annish weak shake, shtupi' cheap [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Yukkuri]]...[[labelnote:Verbose Translation]] She is a gym teacher. With her well-toned musculature, increased metabolism, and lower body fat than Yukari, who is lazy and tends to eat a lot when she can afford to do so, Nyamo's muscles absorb alcohol far more readily. This leaves less alcohol circulating in the bloodstream for her liver and brain to absorb, and likely helps to alleviate the effect (if my recollection is correct, which it probably isn't, Minamo also had a history of heavy alcohol use and can likely weather a hangover more easily than a less experienced person with a similar hangover). In addition to the previous points about Minamo's metabolism, Yukari is not particularly refined when it comes to her tastes in... well, anything, and is quite frugal (some might say miserly, when it comes to things aside from korean barbecue). The gourmand that she is, Yukari likely purchased inexpensive, low-quality sake with an alcohol content lower than a more finely distilled rice wine.[[/labelnote]]
** That still doesn't explain why she drank it inthe first place. RuleOfFunny, obviously.

** She told them about her [[SchoolgirlLesbians relationship with Yukari]]. They respect her deeply the next morning, because they cannot imagine someone being not only in love, but intimate with a {{Jerkass}} like Yukari.

*** [[{{Squick}} ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.]]

** There's no such concept in the Japanese school system as holding someone back, or failing a grade. If this is your third year of high school, you're a third year student. It's only the university entrance exams that really matter.

** Here's my answer: Since there is a good translation available for -san, the translator used that translation. Since -chan isn't as easily translated (though in this case "Little Chiyo" ''might'' work), they leave -chan which has {{Added Alliterative Appeal}} going for it. The translator followed a principle I love very much: Translate all Japanese expressions and suffixes unless it's just not possible. Sure, American teenagers don't address each other with Miss, but they don't say -san or -chan either (unless they LOVE manga and anime). And if they'd wanted to be ''very'' polite, they would say "Miss Sakaki" and so on.
