VOLUME 17'S COVER IS SO WONDERFUL.

I don't always get so excited about the covers being released but this time I absolutely am. Volume 17 is the first instance of Haruaki (or... a part of his soul) NOT being on the cover. Tanamai-sensei's tweet where she revealed the cover just made the cover even cuter to me. She shared anecdote about asking her editor if she should find a way to include Haruaki on the cover, but her editor saying this time it's okay for it just to be the two of them (Izuna and Ibara), it just adds to the charm of this cover, seriously!! Here's a link to the english translation of the tweet for those interested in seeing a translation of her exact words.

I'm posting this about a day after the cover got released, but I first saw the cover yesterday, and I spent the first 3 hours after seeing it trying not to scream. I had class, which interrupted my "think obsessively about the newest yohaji release" time. Luckily I was able to scream over text about it with some of my friends (who aren't yohaji fans, but are willing to listen to my screaming) which definitely helped me expel some of that excess energy before class, but the moment class ended my brain was back to thinking about how much I love Volume 17's cover. It's been over a day now since the cover was revealed, and I'm still so very in love with this cover, it's seriously too cute for me to calm down any time soon ♡!

While rereading Chapter 1 of P-Haji for the umpteenth time, this instance being both for my own personal pleasure, and to gather data to input on the fan wiki, I noticed something...

Marilyn is side character both in the mainline comic, and in P-Haji, you could even consider her a background character. There's not a lot of focus on her in the story at all, so I don't usually focus much on her. I know that she's friends with Daisy, I know she's green, I know she wears a big red bow, and is one of the characters who wasn't initially apart of the story but gotta retconned into the class after the first few chapters had already been released. There's not a lot I know about her, but these are some hard facts, much like how, just like Daisy, Marilyn has only 1 leg!
... It's exactly that which left me surprised and confused while reading.

P-Haji, Chapter 1, Page 8 (well.. the 2 page spread after page 7), in the largest panel where she sits next to Daisy and behind Koizumi, you can see that Marilyn has 2 legs. 2 legs! That's 1 more leg than she usually has!

It's a tiny little detail, but now that it's caught my attention I can't help but wondering if this ever got corrected later in print, or maybe online? Maybe Tanamai-sensei made a tweet about it that I've just never seen before. Really, it's so fun noticing these little details. Even knowing it's a mistake doesn't make me any less delighted than knowing a bit of trivia like this!

Lastly, before I give anyone any time to wonder about it: yes, I added this bit of trivia to the wiki! Both to the specific chapter page, and Marilyn's character page! Of course I did! There's no better place to write about that sort of thing than on the fan wiki in the dedicated trivia section. I hope someone else finds some joy in knowing this little detail, whether they saw it themself first, or learned it from my little entry on the wiki ♡. (Or perhaps even learning it from this post on my journal? It'd be wonderful all the same!)
