So in Higashi, they finally have the space heaters on, but they put these *kettles* on top of them.

For steam? I guess? But argh, the mom in my head is stridently suggesting that boiling water with a partially-open lid placed at hip-level in a high-traffic area is not a good idea. Oh well, no one's died yet.
And finally:

Notice how the colored letters spell JAPAN. I dunno wtf that drawing is supposed to be. I was playing a clothes shopping game in class when I read this and could *not* stop laughing for a minute, even though it was parents' day, and the mothers were watching me crack up.

The only thing I could think of is that it was a psychedelic rendering of the Japanese flag, with, umm, a flagpole? in the top left. Maybe it's secretly both, like the profile-candlestick thing. Japan is so deep yo.
