Spoiler Summary/Synopsis:

Tokiko watches the coverage of Tokiko’s death. Nasa notes how awesome Tokiko was. He wishes he had met her earlier to learn more from her. Tsukasa believes Tokiko had nothing to teach Nasa. That’s because Tokiko chose Nasa to succeed her. The two then discuss how they will read the data on the 5D Data Storage Crystal.

Tsukasa decides that there’s no rush to get the data. As such, she decides they should make curry. To that end, Tsukasa starts making up things in support of consuming curry. Nasa agrees to go to the grocery store with her. Tsukasa picks up a lot of onions, stating it will make the curry better. She then wonders about the accuracy of cooking manga recipes.

Upon coming home, Tsukasa continues to make small talk. She inquires about Naga’s parents. Tsukasa then begins cutting onions and cries, blaming the onions.

Meanwhile, a woman in a kimono comes to the bathhouse, looking for Tsukasa.

Thoughts/Review:

There wasn’t much to Tonikaku Cawaii Chapter 159, but the transition was needed in my opinion.

Japanese Curry

I love Indian curry. But I also really like Japanese curry. And it is a shame that I can’t buy proper Japanese curry. That said, I understood Tsukasa’s motivations for making curry in Tonikaku Cawaii Chapter 159. Clearly, she enjoys curry. And she finds it to help with depression. A good meal can help with that. Maybe that’s why some wakes/funerals have feasts.

One of the humor elements came from Tsukasa wondering about recipes in manga. I’ve wondered about that too. Do folks ever try those recipes?

Also, I got a kick out of Tsukasa making up stuff to support her notion of making curry.

Final Thoughts and Conclusion

In the end, Tonikaku Cawaii Chapter 159 was a transition chapter, and I’m OK with that. The arrival of a new character at the end of the chapter suggests something new in store.
