I'm really enjoying the character dynamic between Shamiko and Momo but the humor of this show is hardly landing for me at all, because most of it is at Shamiko's expense and makes me feel bad for her rather than amused. There's a few really good gags at least

What a great chapter, such a shame the TL drags it down. I hope someone makes a better version. This sort of thing is why I'm learning japanese!!

I was very excited for the evil supercop magical girl and Suika does not disappoint. Momo unwittingly handing her a list of victims is a big "oof" moment.

Also, given Shamimomo's fortuitous meeting has been talked about as "something like fate" before, am I to understand now it's a result of Suika's wish? Like Momo wanted to find her sister, and so she found her current host. It's a fun connection.

I recently learned that Ito-sensei had a chapter in the fifth Madoka Magica Anthology Manga, and tried my hand at translating it for anyone interested:

Note that this volume was published on June 12th 2014, just 16 days before the first chapter of Machikado Mazoku.

This manga continues to blow me away. I wish more people were reading it!
One of the big reasons I'm excited for season 2 of the anime is that it'll get people to talk about this story again and see a little more of what makes it truly special

though I'm pretty much already in "season 3 when" mode, haha

Unfortunately it'll be a while 'til the next chapter, as there hasn't been a new one released these past 2 months because of Ito-sensei's health struggles. I really hope she's doing ok...

I had forgotten how rapid fire the dialogue can be in compressing the 4komas. I feel like the first season started out like that and gradually got better though.
In this case it's down to them covering 3 chapters (plus some bonus content) in 1 episode rather than the usual 2 chapters, the the pace should chill out a little hereafter.
