Referbacks[]

Cultural References[]

  • Chiyo-chichi says "吾輩は猫である Wagahai wa Neko de Aru" which translates to "I am a cat." Wagahai wa Neko de Aru is the title of the famous first novel of legendary author Soseki Natsume, written in 1905.
  • According to Osaka, Chiyo-chichi looks like the former (and rather unpopular) Japanese prime minister Yoshiro Mori.
  • Osaka, Tomo and Chiyo-chan discuss architectural wedges, sometimes seen on shrine gates.

Unanswered Questions[]

  • How Chiyo-chichi could show up in Osaka's dream and talk about his daughter going to America, like in Sakaki's dreams.
  • What kind of schools Osaka, Tomo and Yomi applied for.
  • At the end of the chapter, it is still not answered if Yomi got into any schools.

Memorable Moments[]

  • Osaka's dream about Chiyo-chichi.
  • Kagura is, surprisingly enough, the first to get accepted into college – more specifically, a sports university.
  • Osaka and Tomo get accepted into the same college, though Yomi does not succeed.
