Games, manga, anime, theater, drama, movies...they are safe spaces to further push the narrative envelope because they are "not real" (no matter the lived experiences that may be behind them, sadly). Japan isn't as politically progressive as some of their pop culture can make some think, even...

Which manga was this? interest intensifies

It has the bonus power of instantly braiding long hair into buns for extra heat resistance! Sorry, otherwise the shop has some super quick hairdresser employed as their custom tailor. The mysterious powers that come from the island of DLC.

I feel this one left more questions than answers for me. Especially after looking up the composition of mosquito coils and their history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_coil Unsurprisingly, one component is similar to one used in gunpowder, which acts as a slow burning fuse for the...

So what was that thing Aya had in actuality? A regular mushroom? Also the characters seem to be very forgetful in these chapters, is there something going on with messing with memories?

Chapter 44 of Lotus Eaters makes it very clear that it overlaps the early part of the Detective story as Orin is investigating the Human Village for the as yet unidentified vengeful spirit in that chapter on behalf of Satori.

The TV series is ironically the fragment she found that didn't bore her, and thus we got LambdaDelta and consequently Umineko. This fragment was the Satoshi route which gave a happy ending, but was a dead end for Eua. Interesting...

I just did the oharae grass ring ritual at our local shrine yesterday. The shrine is shutting down permanently in a few days, so I am pleased to see the ritual appear in Gensokyo. The ritual ended up not having anything to do with the "incident", but I have a feeling it may yet have some...

Message deleted, wrong thread.

It's legal to buy alcohol underage, just not to drink it. This is how they can have beer vending machines (or at they used to have those in some parts, I don't know if that's changed in more recent years or not). So that's also why you can sometimes see characters buy booze for their parents...
