If anyone can make sense of Remi's reference, I'm all ears. The Pandora game console seems oddly obscure, and I have no idea what "squid games" it can run. It's possible I misinterpreted it, but she definitely talks about a "squid game with/on Pa_dora".

Could it somehow mean Splatoon for the Wii U? That came out right around the time of this doujins release and was really big.

Yeah, Splatoon is the logical association for "squid game". "Pandora" is probably the weirder part of the mystery.

My guess is it's not "Pandora" but "Pazudora", which is how Japan refers to "Puzzle & Dragons".

But how would you play "the squid game" ON "Puzzle & Dragons"?

Because she would play "the squid game" AND "Puzzle & Dragons". My Japanese is limited but I understand the と particle. I doubt she would play "the squid game" WITH "Puzzle & Dragons".

Do you realize why you can't judge or make plot analysis based on other's translations only? The translations may not always be accurate and reinterpretations lead to different expressions, sometimes the complete opposite to what they truly meant to express in Japanese.

Right, that's definitely the best guess so far. Thanks!

squid game!?
