I agree with you about the Yoshinoya footnote, Dave. There were several places where I thought footnotes were needed and none were provided. I wonder if they got cut for space?

Although I haven't read Suzunari, from the preview at the back of S. S. Astro, I suspect it would qualify as well. At least with the latter, though clearly aimed for the same demographic, the characters were all adults.
