That's all for today. I have a useless collection of screws. Everything comes with a little bag of screws that I don't want to throw away. But I never need them, because everything comes with some.
Today's chapter is late, but there's a very good reason. I was out shopping, when all of a sudden a girl grabbed my hand and started running. She said she had stolen some taiyaki and had to hide from the shop owner. Some more things happen, and I bumped into another two girls, but I'm sure it will end there and not turn into an overly sad story with an unsatisfying ending for the best girl.
Japanese "humor"
I always wondered why this is a cliche. I didn't think this would ever actually work.
hmm im trying to get the trick to work but im having trouble. how the fuck does she do that?
It's actually magic.
>step 1: put your hand in your pocket
>step 2: take it out
Did it work?
WITCH
bless you
Thanks OP. Dunno if it counts, but I tend to be unable to throw away broken things: I have a broken hard disk, a broken router, earphones, an UPS, etc. I wonder if I unconsciously expect someday to suddenly start working again or something like that.
And what happened to you today was like the start of some romcom.
Chapter 49 opener features the greatest image of Kamiya there is. Where's all the artwork of her?
Thanks, user. I know that "collection" thing from bottles and jars food comes in. I tend to keep some of them, thinking I might one day put them to good use, and then end up throwing them away years later without ever having reused them.
Much Asou this chapter. I love it!
>Mystery
I don't get it.
Oh, and also: I made GIFs.
Enjoy.
And this one.
Now that I've made five of them, I might as well provide a link. Uploading them here:

Hnnng, I want to go winter bughunting with the insect girl.
Which one would you consider the best, though?
is there anything Sora can do properly?
I'm pretty sure her name was Shiori.
Being an autist.
Sketching.
Those antennas... Is she actually an insect in disguise?
You know those insects that look like leaves?
Maybe she is actually an insect that has the appearance of a cute schoolgirl, through mimicry.
why is OP getting kidnapped by Taiyaki thieves?
She's so hot there.
It can't be helped. It's uncanny how some days just get off to an unlucky start.
Do you have a harem of cute schoolgirl bandits now?
I bet it'd make a wonderful plot for a manga.
Only one of the girls is a bandit.
I usually prefer ponytails, but Kamiya looks so sexy with her hair down. It is also a credit to the mangaka's skill that you can easily recognise a character despite changing her hair, too many draw the same face with just different hair.
Thanks OP, I'd say that screws are a pretty useful useless collection, you never know when you need to hang up a picture or join two pieces of wood together.
>Only one of the girls is a bandit.
But doesn't the word "bandit" imply that there are multiple? A band of bandits?
The ban in bandit comes from same root as the "forbidden" meaning of ban.
Okay. So what does the "dit" stand for?
Through corruption of conjugations through a few languages including Latin and Italian. Originally a verb like "banish", then became a noun for "one who has been banished".
>Originally a verb like "banish", then became a noun for "one who has been banished".
So a "pundit" is someone who has been punished? Makes sense, actually!
No, that would be too easy for English. "Pundit" comes from Hindi.
>"Pundit" comes from Hindi.
Okay. Elaborate please.
Does "Reddit" also come from Hindi?
Hindi has paṇḍit for "a learned man, master, teacher" which came from Sanskrit with paṇḍita "a learned man, scholar"
Reddit is conjugation of the latin reddo meaning "give back" or "give up". Fitting, since that's what you do when going to that site.
>Hindi has paṇḍit
Pandit? So the British thought making a "pun" out of it was more fun, I assume? I guess they were right, else we wouldn't be talking about it right now.
>Fitting, since that's what you do when going to that site.
Indeed. Good to know they have that kind of self-awareness.
No, the term for popular in the Victorian days, so no fun was allowed. Even puns had to be very serious.
>Even puns had to be very serious.
I wouldn't know. I wasn't around back then.
But is that why everybody hated Jack the Ripper? His alledged letters were full of jokes.
That's right. He didn't follow proper murdering protocol of sending a very polite and serious letter first.
What a dick!
I think it's more romantic tragedy than comedy.
Sketchbook threads are always so high IQ.
Cute Kamiya.
>Mystery
I laughed out loud.
>Chicken liver
I don't get it.
Thanks, OP. Ouch, I think I still have my erase bits from the 5th grade somewhere.
>all of a sudden a girl grabbed my hand and started running.
Why do that, though.
Thanks, user.
>Why do that, though.
Harem logic.
>I don't get it.
I'm not sure if I don't get it either, or if it's just not very funny.
Bump
Negishi is the best neurotic straight-man.
We know you like him, Kuga.
cats
That's not Kamiya
Bump!
Being the cutest.
Nah, that's Asou Nat-chan.
love triangle?
Was Negishi actually a harem romcom protagonist all along?
funny fact: jack the ripper should have triple parenthesis around his name...
Nah. Actually, he should have quintuple pairs of spanish questionmarks (¿¿¿¿¿Jack the Ripper?????), one for each canonical victim. Because it looks funnier.
¿que?
¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!Exactement!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡
Negishi x Kuga OTP
That blob style is so damn weird.
translation?
Obasan
K: Seems like there's a fish called ojisan.
N: Yeah, Kurihara said something like that the other day.
K: Actually, there's also a fish called obasan.
N: Really?
K: ...I'm joking.
N: Eh!?
K: Do you hate girls who behave like an older lady?
N: ...I don't really understand what you're saying.
Quick bump.
He's obvious enough to be one.
did you mean oblivious?
>did you mean oblivious?
Yeah, he did, obliviously.
that actually works...
It's an abbreviation of obviously oblivious.
>It's an abbreviation of obviously oblivious.
Okay. And what's the abbreviation of obliviously obvious?
Oblivious, obviously.
Ah, obviously.
(I wonder if that's why so many Japanese shy ways from learning English!?)
Well, the Japanese are shy in general. It's just their way of life.
shy or oblivious?
Yes.
bump?
Back from the downtime, it seems?
For now. I'm sure it will be back down in a couple days.
the what?
The usual.
Have you been sketching enough lately, user?
How much is enough?
I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. I'm not sketching anything.
Drawing straight lines is a generally overestimated skill, user. You literally never need to do that.
Try drawing one with a pencil.
At the bare minimum, 2 hours a day.
Don't worry about how good you are have some fun.
Thanks, it works now.
Good job user, now sketch a cat.
It's should be easier since you won't need straight lines.
This is a wondrous item.
That's all for today. I want to see Kamiya try to herd those cats on to her kitty roof.
Also, July 31 is Sensei's birthday. Celebrate with your favorite kind of chicken.
How old is she now?
Thanks, user.
>July 31 is Sensei's birthday.
Otanjyoubi, Sensei.
>Celebrate with your favorite kind of chicken.
I'd rather not. I've heard that chickens are extremely annoying party guests.
How do you extract the vitamin D from the cats?
>now sketch a cat.
Okay.
How did I do?
That cat is a Kangaskhan
Eternally 17.
>Otanjyoubi, Sensei.
You can't leave off the omedetou, that's like saying
>Birthday, Sensei.
>How do you extract the vitamin D from the cats?
When you need some vitamin D, she mails you a cat and you lick it.
>How do you extract the vitamin D from the cats?
Lick them.
>that's like saying
>Birthday, Sensei.
Yes, I know.
Otanjyoubi, Sensei.
>you lick it.
>Lick them.
Well, at least it won't hurt them.
user, you did wonderful.
>Otanjyoubi, Sensei.
Thanks, user. I was unsure, because I rarely draw cats and suitable references were hard to find.
the comfiest shark
how do you make a shamisen?
>Celebrate with your favorite kind of chicken.
You take a banjo, stretch it and then beat its bottomhalf into a box.
thank you for clarifying, as for the answer to the first question prior to the deviation: snort the cats
Maybe a little thirsty, though.
We should get some variety. Pick up some yakitori too.
Anons were right, sensei is just another child.
Don't bully the spittlebug. They're doing their best.
Thanks for the chapter user. Happy birthday Sensei!
CUTE~
>How do you extract the vitamin D from the cats?
Fun fact: cats can produce their own vitamin C. So by eating a sun-bathed cat whole you get both C and D vitamins.
L-lewd!
user, this is a blue board!
>look up mole cricket videos
>lots of bug battles against them
Negishi would be proud.
Thanks, user.
What a coincidence, it also happens to be my birthday.
Do you also have a pet chicken?
>What a coincidence, it also happens to be my birthday.
Well, in that case:
Birthday to you too, user!
Not yet
Yes.
Birthday, user!
are you Harry Potter?
Good night and don't forget to sketch tomorrow.
But I don't know what tomorrow looks like.
Night, user. You too.
To be fair, he did say "with" and not "for"
She's not wrong, it's the examiner's fault for writing a poorly worded question.
I don't like how Kamiya is calling it a "vitamin D production plant", what is she going to do to those cats?
>Spittlebug
Is that what that stuff is?! I always thought it was just sap or something like that.
Thanks OP, I think I will have a chicken omurice to celebrate.
Bump!
>what is she going to do to those cats?
Whatever it is, I don't think it's legal.
There's literally no point though as long as you get enough solar exposure you can synthesise vitamin D with your own body
only if you're dark skinned in a far north area in the middle of winter will you likely need some level of supplementation.
Or live in the north and have a job where you spend all of the few daylight hours inside.
it takes like 15 minutes exposure
most diets have a decent amount of vitamin d in them anyway
>have a job where you spend all of the few daylight hours inside.
user, please. What other jobs do you think 4channelers have?
Chicken obsessed art teacher?
heard about a study that looked at the non tanned skin pigmentation of men and women of various racial groups and found a consistent pattern of women naturally being slightly paler
it's hypothesised this is becase men evolved to be out in the weather more while women stayed in safer more sheltered regions with their kids
oh and vitamin D is more important for women because it's essential for embryo development
Yet I still get blood tests that show a deficiency.
Sketchbook threads are truly high IQ.
Yeah, that's not a good thing.
dude are you a damned vampire or something?
vitamin D deficiency does seem to linked to increased bone loss and elevated cancer risks.
sit by a window with your shirt off or something
Art teachers don't get out much either.
>vampire
Wouldn't they get plenty of vitamins from all the blood?
learned something today the uv wavelengths necessary to produce vitamin D do not pass through glass so sitting by a window won't work, but walking around outside in shorts and t-shirt are effective
>Your body can't make vitamin D if you're sitting indoors by a sunny window because ultraviolet B (UVB) rays (the ones your body needs to make vitamin D) can't get through the glass.
yeah I guess they would unless they were drinking nocturnal weab blood
Shorts and a t-shirt doesn't work very well when it's below zero.
LED UV light with the right wavelengths?
Sure, but a bottle of vitamins is a lot cheaper.
true
what sort of glue was it do you think?
She didn't glue herself to the desk, so not something that sets quickly.
There's some kind of pun here regarding "nori (glue)" and "norinori (in high spirits)," I think. I dunno if spray adhesive specifically is needed for this.
Those "It's amazing! With just glue!" lines are really 「ノリノリよーっ のりだけに」
what glue can be used as an aerosol; without solidifying inside or clogging the hole?
Super 77
chemistry for that is?
Do you think chemistry is glueing chemicals together?
No, what is the underlying chemistry of this "super 77" glue?
I don't think that's public. Maybe you could make some guesses from the MSDS, but that's above my grade.
the main chemical ingredients should be for safety reasons alone
hahi
Motherfucking KINSHI
Why are series about nothing so interesting?
Where I live (bongland), vitamin D deficiency is so common that the government no longer allows the test to be done by the NHS, it is now just assumed that you are deficient.
So which one is the lie?
>Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso
checks out fine
maybe the meta statement was the lie? because it says you can't tell lies.
>because it says you can't tell lies.
You can't. But I can!
Because they're so relatable.
Oof, that hurts.
k
Yes.
>tfw still no mushi gf
k2
You need to be looking in their natural habitat.
are you saying it helps if you're an 8 year old japanese boy bug hunting in the woods?
There is something endearing about the odd combination when they look study.
That's where the younger ones live. You can find adult ones in places like university research labs.
It hurts
*pulls out notepad*
which departments specifically are we talking about?
Entomology, of course. Maybe biology too.
I love etymology!
What's the scientific consens on bugs in that field?
They think bugs are goblins.
Mmh ... okay.
Are they right?
which type of bug?
Do bugs and insects differ?
You'll have to ask a bug.
Salmon King!
I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a reference to a game, but I don't know enough about them to recognize it.
The first two use the same last character, 子 ko: child.
鰊 kado: Pacific herring
数 kazu: Number, amount
数の子 kazunoko: Herring roe
槌 tsuchi: Hammer, mallet
槌の子 tsuchinoko: Mythical snake-like creature
Y-Shirt is a Japanese thing. It's a dress shirt. Originally "White shirt", it got shortened to WaiShirt, which sounds like Y-shirt.
白犀 shirosai: White rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum)
白菜 hakusai: Chinese cabbage
鴨の嘴 kamonohashi: Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)
>Is this sensei sleeping or deceased
万有引力 banyuuinryouku: Universal gravitation
万引き manbiki: Shoplifting, shoplifter
That's all for today. This chapter made me feel like I was teaching vocab for a class. For homework, write an essay on the importance of cute dorks to civilization.
Kamiya once again demonstrating that she's the strongest sketchbook.
She once again shows that she truly is the strongest sketchbook.
Twins?
I think Kate lost it.
The strongest sketchbook.
Thanks for the chapter OP, only the manliest eat typhoon ramen.
>For homework, write an essay on the importance of cute dorks to civilization.
That's the most interesting homework I've been given.
What's she ranting about?
Thanks for the chapter, user.
>This chapter made me feel like I was teaching vocab for a class.
Thanks, sensei.
Yes.
Yes.
>I think Kate lost it.
She never had it to begin with.
Decided to slowly start rewatching the anime thanks to this thread.
It's so calming, Sora's voice is really soothing too.
Thanks OP.
>shoplifting
...
>shoplifting
I never got this concept to begin with. Most shops I know look pretty heavy. You'd need superhuman strength to lift them.
And, assuming you manage to lift a shop succesfully - what then? Are you just going to carry it somewhere? I mean, people will definitely notice you walking around with a shop.
...
Ah, the classic.
Keito is always a classic.
Remember when Keito was PISSED off?
No. That was only a tiny fraction of her potential.
How can you have a wrong side of paper?
Thanks Sensei. Cute dorks are incredibly important to civilisation because we need them to remind us there is some good in this world.
I DONT CARE IF IT HAS BEEN LIKE 13 FUCKING YEARS, I NEED MY 2ND SEASON RIGHT FUCKING NOW
chances are 0 now user
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
We write an old fashioned letter to the author and studio.
Neither of them make the decision. What they really need is someone to fund it.
Tsugumomo just crowdfunded an OVA to go along with a second season a few months ago. So ... never say never.
Sure, but that's a good example of the kind of money you'd need to make. Sketchbook might be a little cheaper since there's not a lot of busy animation. But 10 million yen per episode would be pretty reasonable.
Well, yeah. You'd have to create demand first. Or win some kind of lottery.
There's no active fanbase for a crowdfund of the scale of a new animated adaptation
>There's no active fanbase
Organize one!
I've found about 30 of us.
only like 300,000 yen per person
easy
Do I at least get a producer role or something?
Sure ... why not ...
Honestly, after seeing so many shows getting new seasons after 4~10 years, I haven't lost hope yet.
One way or another, let's hope the author next work gets an anime.
Bump!
But with how many changes that studio has gone through in those years, there's no way it would be the same.
Nothing will ever be the same as it was. But that doesn'T have to be a bad thing.
I'd be all for it if I had confidence that the new staff were up to the task. Not that I have what they've put out, but it just doesn't grab me in the same way.
A series like Sketchbook will never be mainstream popular. It needs all the help it can get.
Look at this Keito
Okay, if you say so.
jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Post bug girl, its been so long since I have watched it I don't even remember her name, but I remember she was my favorite.
The art club's miracle girl!
SALMON KING!
The courage to have a big plan.
