3 Useless Lesbians and a Baby. Which one's Ted Danson?

Wait, are they actual Roma living in the actual 20s, or is this some random setting that uses "gypsy" to mean "nomad"?

Anyway, it has some interesting bits, but between the speed it moves at and some iffy composition I'm finding it somewhat hard to follow at times. Probably give it another chapter to see if it improves, but it's not something I'll be looking forward to

I like the expressions just going off the wall~

‘I wanna make an action-historical manga that’s absolutely off the wall!
‘And I’ll name it something just as off like Salad Bowl! Yeah, that’s the stuff’

I really do enjoy the works of artists. Too bad I can only imagine their thought-process.

From the looks of that sauna it's powered by a talking sentient lesbian fire in the heating unit.

Ah, it's been a while since there's been some proper ADVENTURE yuri goodness translated! I'm digging the artstyle, too.

Since when is Gypsy a slur ? It's like saying "french" is a slur ô.o

Throwing darts at a wall covered in random english words is a time-honored tradition. Take Metal Gear, for instance.

I got a magicless Howls moving castle type feel from this one, I like that. Pretty hectic start! But it looks to be going somewhere for sure! Looking forward to more chapters

It's considered a slur as it was a name given to the romani due to some persistent rumors and ideas that they came from Egypt.
The universally accepted term is roma, romani or romani people.
There's half a dozen regional names for the romani, and it is entirely context dependent whether any individual considers them a slur, the proper name for their ethnic group (some do not like 'romani') or if it's a 'take it back/our word' type deal. Heard all three versions from romani folks.

The house is called a Sauna, and the main girl's name is Vihta, which is a Finnish sauna utility (you make it out of birch branches and spank yourself with it). I wonder if its intended or a coincidence?

ch 1, pg 6, "Avan just doesn't can't handle" -> "Avan just can't handle"
pg 15, "to cute" -> "too cute"

You can't even write "Vihta" in kana, right? In the original it would be something like Bihuta or Biita? I can't help but wonder how a translator can figure out such an esoteric spelling.

... why salad bowl?

Dunno, the two acceptations I know of the term are a nickname of Salinas, California, or a tightly packed bong of weed full to the top and then some.

The act of finishing a salad bowl in a single breath is known as punching a salad.

It’d be a lot easier to invest in if I didn’t have the sneaking suspiscion that the slur is going to remain a casual component of this world’s “lore”.

That's the thing with period pieces. It's a bit as if you read a piece set in 19th century southern USA and get upset because some characters call black people "niggers".

They do seem to face some degree of persecution based on their status, rather than specific acts. That said, they also explicitly left homes, so ...

That's the interpretation I'm betting on. Maybe not that region specifically, but a similar agricultural area in their world. We'll know if we start seeing vineyards, yeah?
