At least it wasn’t mayo or soy sauce.

Someday I hope to see an isekai that acts to humble the audience instead of cheerleading Earth culture. Imagine a Japanese high schooler MC waking up, ready to wow the world with Japanese cuisine, smartphone technology, and knowledge of modern medicine... only to realize:

  • Most people are vegan and think MC is a monster for wanting to enslave and eat people (e.g. industrial farm cattle)
  • Earth technology is inefficient and wasteful.
  • 21st century medicine is their equivalent of bloodletting

I am sure it would not sit well with test audiences since no one likes being told their culture is bad, but even Earth cultures are incompatible across sufficient geographic distances and spans of history.

I actually hope he stays for the drama and character growth.

I think the author is communicating their dislike of senior coworkers trying to play matchmaker with their kōhais.

If battery technology werenʼt still stuck in the Vietnam War era, 2-second rapid charging would require something like a thick boi USB-B cable to satisfy everyoneʼs desire to also use their phone as a tazer/hand grenade/flying drone/cardiac defibrillator/space heater.

This is like your favorite bar removing all seating and converting itself into a vending machine with “NO LOITERING” signs plastered everywhere.

The Aranet4 runs on two AA batteries and the smartphone apps are still well-supported. The apps also support CSV export of trend data which is nice. In addition to CO2 ppm, it also records temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity (these other readings are probably used to adjust the CO2 sensor readings to account for temperature/humidity/air pressure conditions). I carry one of these with me while traveling and its high alarm beep (I have it set to sample every 60 seconds) is a convenient reminder to circulate air or consider wearing a mask if I am in a public space. The air pressure reading can be used as a crude altimeter, especially if you have two of the devices: one in a stationary location and another on your person as you take a hike; subtract the two values and you get a pressure difference that is a function of elevation.

Premieres sometime in 2025

Given the Tanabata 🎋 tanzaku in the image, I would guess sometime around 2025-07-07 or 2025-08-25?

Did the author finally get tired of her PS4? Or was it a PS5…

That would explain the lack of pun explanations. Fansubs wouldnʼt be so lax.
