Obviously, they will eat perfait

Is there anything that Shinjuku isn't a battleground for?

Cherry and TOMATO ice cream in an otherwise purely chocolate and cherry parfait? A taco and potato salad parfait that still somehow manages to include chocolate mousse? What is going on, this is like those cursed ai-generated recipe memes from a couple years ago.

Tomatos are sweet/acid so its not strange and in the case of her parfait, which is very sweet, the cherry-tomato ice cream helps cut the sweetness with it’s acidity.
Chocalate mix well with a lot of flavors that most people don’t imagine (Migao for example) and let’s not forget that avocado and cheese are also found in many sweet preparations and dishes.

I really love how detailed are the parfait ! Not only it makes me hungry but also curious. I've only ate... Maybe 2 parfaits in my whole life as it's expensive and seen as gluttony. But by reading this manga, I feel like I've miss a whole part of the universe ! So many flavor, so many shape ! Sweet, acid, salty... I never knew ! Big love for the translation team. I guess some people are only here for the love story and don't read part about the parfait and I'm glad everything is translated <3

nothing like a sudden rainstorm into a love hotel situation

I wonder if the Taco one is just a mistranslation or odd naming thing, because she described it as chewy and filled with cheese, which sounds more like a quesadilla. The whole thing is also very citrus foward, which makes me thing the potato salad isn't a standard one, so the potato might be there more to provide a base and to help balance out the other intense flavors. Also, sweet potato salads might be more of a thing in japan?

It's definitely an odd combo, but I don't think it's completely outlandish.

Please don't chicken out now...

I'd love to see a scene when it suddenly starts to rain and the lobby of a love hotel is absolutely rammed with couples getting rooms to "dry off" after getting soaked lol

Love Hotel business owners making 90% of their income during the rainy season confirmed ...

Of course they would end up in a love hotel. That much was clear from the moment the rain was mentioned, so much that I was actually surprised to see them go for the convenience store instead, but in the end they still got there as well. :D

Gotta love fluffy episodes, and Stellar ending can’t wait for next chapter.

It’s time.

We’d really appreciate it if you could wait just a little longer"

Definitely will be buying a copy if this happens <3

Ah, that was lovely. ^_^

Not counting the imoni jumpscare, of course. :D

A strangely cursed love hotel ...

well then. if no hell-damning demon contract, then marry. easy equation solution

5 dollars she's part angel

Okay I have a lot of questions:

• Are dryers and (unhaunted) imoni something you'd usually find in a love hotel?
• Is a cheaper girls-only plan actually a thing? At first I thought about priced-in prophylactics, but given then vending machines that seems dubious, and I'd guess females tend to make more of a mess, so is this some security because men mean trouble?
• Wait, is this the first chapter without a parfait? I want the money back I didn't pay!

I'm also starting to share FluffyCow's concern about hell apparently being real, and Mai's willingness to just doom herself to it.

From what I know, some love hotels have joshi kai (girls' party) plans, which are rooms that are basically meant for women to hang out or have dinner in with privacy (as opposed to a public restaurant, etc.), functionally being similar to regular hotel rooms (you can also stay overnight), but apparently fancier-looking and cheaper. These rooms are (probably) not made to have sex in, and I'm guessing they probably have different "amenities" compared to regular love hotel rooms, instead having stuff like karaoke boxes.

The imoni is something that's also quite the mystery to me (and apparently lots of other readers as well). It's not something usual to love hotels and it's only typical of the Tohoku region (the northeast part of Japan), but this story is set in Tokyo, which does not lie in this region. So it seems to be an original joke by the author.

One possible theory I have about it is that it's a reference to one of Yatosaki Haru's onshots, Tsukutte Agetai! Yomotsu Gohan (which was also included in volume 1). This oneshot deals with a certain theme, where if you eat the food of the dead, you will be unable to return to the living world. In this chapter, the imoni acts as the food of the dead, which could be a sort of symbolisation of the contract. They're presented with the temptation of imoni (the contract) multiple times throughout the chapter, which would make them unable to return to the living world if they eat it (fall to hell), but instead they leave the hotel without trying it once (they choose against the contract and continue on with their lives).

But maybe I'm off the mark.
