I don’t mind, but...

I don't know why I capitalized "Getting Lunch at the Convenience Store". That should be a normal sentence.

----------------------------------

Shijima Tsukishima
Was a shut-in for two years before entering high school, during which two stalks of shimeji mushrooms grew on her head. Can’t be bothered to do anything and is a pessimist.

“Ah, Shimeji-chan.”

“Egg.”
“Oh, no honorifics.”

“Can I call you casually too?”
Shimeji
“Nope.”
That’s not my name

“Right, we’d sound like we’re talking about breakfast if we both do...”
It’d be perfect if we have a “Toast”...
“That's not the problem.”

------------

“Speaking of meals, you always get yours from the convenience store, don't you?”
“You always bring yours from home, huh.”

“Mom’s usually the one making my meals...”
“but she said she didn't feel like making one today.”

“She even told me to eat the egg on my head.”
“That’s what I’d tell you too, yeah.”

“No way...”
“...”

Majime Yamashita
Shijima’s classmate. Cheerful and not diligent at all, contrary to her name. Was apparently born with a sunny-side egg on her head.

Ms. Mogawa
Teaches art at Shijima and Majime’s school, and the advisor for the Hole-Digging Club. Often sinks into a depressive spiral of thoughts, and loves drinking.

“You love processed fish, don’t you?”
“I like their shape.”

“It’d be great if they make fish-shaped kamaboko.”
You love fish, huh?

“Won't it be a bit cruel, though? You’d basically be sculpting fishes out of smushed corpses of actual fishes.”
“If you put it like that...”

“Well, here’s a fried squid for you.”
“Keep it.”

------------

“Guess I’ll be getting something fishy.”

“Fish... fish...”
“How about salmon?”

“‘come!”
“What did you get?”

“Leaf mustard.”
“Is this a joke?”

*TN: “Fish” is “Sakana” in Japanese, while “Leaf mustard” is “Takana”.

Art Room

“...”
“Today’s your first art class...”
“so I think we should begin with wire shaping.”

“Ah,”
“I’ve been the art teacher in this school since last year.”
“I’m “Mogawa”. I hope we get along.”

“Huh, so Ms. Mogawa”
“teaches art.”

“Ubh... the pressure is making me sick...”
“Fight on, Miss-”
“You’re loud.”

“Miss-”
“How should we shape the wires?”

“It’d be hard if I just tell you to make what you want,”
“so I’ve prepared a theme.”

“Shape them into “sadness”.”
“That’s just as hard...”

Attached: 042.jpg (1114x1600, 459K)

“I can make a sad sound just fine, but...”
“Music expresses abstract ideas well.”

“Ah!”
“What is it, Yoshiko?”
“Yoshiko, what is it?”

“I have an unstrung guitar with me today...”
“If I attach the strings...”

“I can play a sad chord.”
“Sad indeed.”
“I don’t know if that counts...”
A minor?

------------

“Ah!”
“What is it, Ayaka?”
“Ayaka, what is it?”

“I just happen to have this oscilloscope with me today.”
“You a boy genius or something?”

“If I simulate the chord’s waveform here...”

“and copy the form with the wires,”

“I get A minor.”
“Now this is sad.”
“What even is sadness?”

Attached: 043.jpg (1114x1600, 418K)

“Sadness, huh... That’s so hard...”

“Ah-”
“Ahh, come on-”

“What are you making?”

“I’m shaping it back to iron ore...”
“The fried squid logic, huh?”

------------

“What about you?”
“...”

“I’m making my mom’s face.”
“How do I put this... she looks avant-garde...”

“Does she really look like that?”
“Well, I’ve never seen her.”
I don’t have a mom

“Ah... um, sorry...”
“Don’t mind it.”

Attached: 044.jpg (1114x1600, 324K)

“The convenience store thing earlier reminded me of this. Made me a bit down.”
“...Ah, sorry. I might have been rude.”

“M-my bad.”
“I’m really insensitive to this sort of thing, so...”

“I really am so-”

“...”

------------

“Class is almost over, so hands off your wire.”
“Let’s take a look at what everyone's made.”

“Even with the same theme of sadness...”
“we all made different shapes.”
The Spiral of

“Isn’t this cheating?”
Title
Sadness
*TN: Shaped like the kanji for sadness (悲)

“Ah, that’s cute.”

“This one’s a pun...”

“Well then, to end the class...”

“I’d like you to observe this tree behind the gym building.”
“This “Twisted Tree” is actually a kind of tree that prefers sunlight, but...”

“the building blocks the sun...”
“and as a result, few leaves grow on it, while its branches grow twisted.”

“In this tree, sadness and the power of life coexists.”
“Observe its shape and form, then connect them to an emotion...”

“I believe that representing all of it... is one of the main functions of art.”
“Ah... and class dismissed.”

Afterschool

“Miss~ Your class was great~”

“Really? Phew-”

“You looked like an actual teacher.”
“That’d be because I actually am a teacher.”

------------

“I was so nervous...”
“I feel like drinking now~”
“Is that like your catchphrase or something?”

“And so...”

“Dun dunn”
“Wha-!?”
Whisky

“I’m watering it down.”
“Even if you water it down, alcohol is alcohol...”

Attached: 047.jpg (1114x1600, 421K)

“Well, I can’t drink on school grounds...”
“but there’s a hole in the fence here.”
“There is.”

“I’m outside the school now, so it’s a-ok.”
Outside
Inside
“Uh...”

“This stuff’s good.”
“...”

“Digging into every hole of the school’s regulations, huh?”
Only at the hole-digging club
“Uhhh.”

------------

“See that? Even the Principal’s having a smoke outside the gate.”
“I’m just doing the same thing.”

“My, Ms. Mogawa.”
“...”

“What are you drinking?”
“Tea.”

“As there are things that can be communicated through shape or form, there are things that can’t...”
“However, there might be things better left unsaid.”

Ms. Mogawa may look pessimistic, but she’s a fighter.

And that's it. Hopefully someone else shows up before time consumes the thread.

thanks user, I was going to post about the potato sighting but didn't want to break up the chapter

Oh, and "mustard greens" instead of "leaf mustard" is probably better since that refers more to the food and not the plant.

Danke.

Thanks.
Anyone know where I can find Ch 3?

Here desuarchive.org/a/thread/186303090/#186322843

I put the title in the name field because I have a single digit IQ.

so is there any evidence in the story itself yet that this really is the afterlife, the wheat field and the potatoes are the only things I can think of but they have been around since day 1

It's a simulation.

>Originally “Kanashii Take” (lit. “Sad Mushroom”), a pun from “Kanashii dake” (lit. “Just Sad”)
Isn't it just "kanashii" smooshed with "shiitake"?

And yet more thanks.
It's sort of comforting knowing that there's an author out there who understands depression.
And then I feel sorry for him for how bad he feels.
If life is an upward spiral, then sadness is a downward one

Thanks. These translations are so fast.
Hasn't it been only a few hours since the magazine actually released?

You know what, you're right. I feel real dumb now.

Change the TL note to:
>*TN: Originally "kanashiitake", a pun from "kanashii" ("sad") and shiitake (a mushroom).

The raw provider user basically always gives me the raws the hour it releases, so kudos to him.

Nice to have an actually dependable raw provider; tkmiz does wonders.

is there a reason why tkmiz is obsessed with fish? The fish in SSR was one thing since it was plot relevant whenever it came up but fish are referenced in every chapter of this so far

Attached: 1551814976663.jpg (709x320, 33K)

fish is a symbol for death

Thanks user for the translations, I really apreciate it, also the raws are a nice quality.

It's also great to see the taters in the actual manga itself, not just the cover, even if they are just background characters. (Also Chii telling Yuu to greet properly was cute)

Seeing the themes of sadness/hopelessness/depression show up again makes me wonder if Tsukumizu is going to make this story about trying to get along with hopelessess too, just like GLT.

Honestly overall I didn't know what to expect from SS, and I still don't, but I think it's shaping up to be great like GLT.

It's a real shame that Shimeji Simulation doesn't seem to be getting much attention, does anyone know if it's popular in Japan?

Probably an issue with the magazine choice I guess? I still don't know why the fuck it is in CUNE of all places.

What's wrong with it, other than the fact that it almost sounds rude in English?

I haven't read anything else from CUNE, but I believe it mainly just does yuri 4-koma stuff, basically nothing serious also it's not that popular, but I'm not an expert I could be wrong.

Same happened with SSR, I think the only thread I saw about it was when it got an anime then it became super popular.

To be honest, I watched and then read SSR after it had already concluded, so I don't know how popular it was back then, but nowdays when a SSR thread pops up they seem to do alright, considering the manga has concluded some time ago now.

It's too soon to speculate and I've no clue how well it's doing in Japan, but do you guys think in like 2 years time when more chapters are out (hopefully tkmiz keeps going) an anime could happen? Having Tsukumizu's name behind the manga has to give it some credibility, right?

POTATO SPOTTED

Do TOC positions matter in all magazines or is it just Jump?
In any case, it's pretty much at the top.

Attached: TOC.png (2228x3200, 1.68M)

I would reckon TOC positions do most likely matter.

Also I hope typeset user shows up and works his magic, it would be nice to have all the chapters in their full glory ;)

I'm kind of jealous that he can be depressed while also be productive. Wish I had that ability.

You're right, that is a bit fishy

It's possible; it looks like a couple of series from Cune have gotten anime before, so if it's popular, Shimeji Simulation could get one-- possibly when they start releasing the standalone volumes for the series.

Considering the rate of releases, though (10 pages per month), it will probably be many years down the line. For comparison, they adapted around 600 pages from SSR to make the 12 episode anime. It will take 5 years for SS to have that many pages. Although the two manga have different formats, and 4koma manga tend to get expanded on a lot when they're animated, so it could happen much sooner.

Attached: 1547155850018.jpg (2048x2732, 701K)

5-minute anime also exist. This format would probably fit it pretty well.

So. Are they alive? Or are thy dead and this is their stay in hell?

Probably not hell-- maybe purgatory. But more likely, this is an alternate universe where Chito and Yuuri just happened to be born earlier in history.

Either way, it's a neat cameo. I hope they show up every now and then throughout the series at least.

How many layers of irony is this manga on?

Thanks OP.

Which group/user is typesetting this again?

I think it's just an user from the umbrella Yea Forums group. He went to limbo after typesetting chapter 3, though, didn't even post it on MD.

I guess i can do it if nobody does, but i guess i will wait for an answer first before doing it.

I'd say just go for it.
