    The pain of my Boston trip returns.

    It hurt quite a bit more this time than it did back then, enough that I was dragging my leg until the next day. I wondered whether I'd torn a muscle, but the pain faded after about two days, so it seems I was all right.

    Reader-added tags include "It's the magic headband chant, Kogasa-san", "Next chapter: Kogasa-san becomes a genuine ippon datara ", and "Yuyuko-sama: 'Pulled muscle? Not going to happen.' Sanae: 'My husband, pull away from breasts? Not going to happen.'"

    The survey has some heavy input on this:

    What yell do you want to solidify with the Voisolidizer*?
    • Yoohoo
    • Wah!!
    • Good morning!!
    • I'm hungryyy!!
    • You're wrong!!

    *My own translation for the Koekatamarin, a Doraemon device that can turn yells into large, solid katakana.

    Somewhat the same. This kind of thing only happens when I wake up and stretch in bed. The feeling that it's about to start is the worst. One memorable moment had one cramp start on one leg, and while I was in pain on the bed, the other leg became the same way. Still, if it's just starting I can manage to get out of it; I just need to get out of bed ASAP and stand straight, or just stand with both feet on the floor.

    …. What the heck happened to the translation of the artist commentary I posted earlier? And I know I didn't grab the chapter number or the standard "diary manga" line for the original Japanese. I can see someone maybe copying over the Japanese I pasted in by submitting afterward, but how could it delete my translation?

    All right, I'll try again...

    Added an explanation to the title, on the off chance someone isn't familiar with the basics of "Journey to the West" (along with changing the name to the original Chinese pronunciation, mostly to interdict mistaken Dragon Ball associations...</pedant>).
