    The Japanese reads:

    Watashi wa kyuuka ga hotsui DEATH

    Which does mean “I am a cucumber”, but they replaced the “desu” with “DEATH”.

      No, it says ホシイ(hoshii) which means “wanting/desiring” and キュウカ(kyuuka) which means “holiday/time off”. So something along the lines of “I want time off.”.

        You’re right. I always get ツ and シ mixed up.

          Well, if you’re a leftist you can memorize it with “シ looks to the right and right means death 死(shi)”. I’m not really political but it’s what I did anyways.

          You can tell by the direction it’s written, like つ=ツ because the strokes go horizontally left to right like the hiragana, while し=シ because the strokes go down vertically first. If that makes sense
