    Usuzumi no Hate - Ch. 36 - Towako

    Moral is said to be a construct of human thought... some people use that argument to say that in the end morals are arbitrary and by itself a lie... this is a lie. It is egomania trying to discard individual consideration to take control of others. Yes... morals are a construct, itself a form...

    Usuzumi no Hate - Ch. 36 - Towako

    Agreed, I am of the thought that every child deserves a parent... not every adult deserves to be a parent. People are of the thought that children should always be grateful of their parents... there is a truth in this affirmation... but it is the truth. Bringing a life into the world doesn't...

    Usuzumi no Hate - Ch. 36 - Towako

    Selfishness is ego... there is no motion without ego, Vincent is right on what he says, but he is kinda wrong too. One thing i see used a lot in stories with the confrontation about arrogance and selfishness of humanity is how it treats those things as inherently bad, and... it isn't so simple...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan - Ch. 97 - Thunder

    You know... I always had this little nugget of a thought... if people of the past, before electricity was discovered and widespread, how good was their eyesight in darkness? Obviously, it wouldn't be something like "total visibility in darkness", but with eyes more accustomed to dealing with...

    Zatch Bell!! - Vol. 8 Ch. 74.5 - Two Princess

    An interesting read, but it doesn't feel like that to me, her commentary felt more direct like she knew about what Tio is dealing with and not a passing commentary on her attitude... and she saw Tio's magic.

    Radiant - Vol. 17 Ch. 131 - At the Edge of My Mind

    As someone who stopped reading at the second chapter beginning the first time I read this... entirely agree. Seth was EVRYTHING I loathed in shounen MCs, at that point in time... but for some reason, a few years later I decided to give a reread because it continued to pop on my recommend here...

    Zatch Bell! 2 - Vol. 6 Ch. 35

    As always... Raiku-sensei has mastered the art of... THE GUT PUNCH.

    Zatch Bell! 2 - Vol. 6 Ch. 33

    I never expected this sequel would exist one day... and I am so grateful it does. Raiku-sensei just knows how to make tension. I am curious about what are the differences between the magic of mamodo and the sorcerers. We know some mamodo can do sorcery, Leo has a few of those, but I want to...

    Zatch Bell! 2 - Vol. 6 Ch. 32

    Wow... wait... oh man, that is why she is so important, ignoring getting the spell vials, the most difficult part for a counter-attack plan was that the number of available mummys was low, but if they have a mamodo capable of making more, the vials become the only problem. No, wait... I...

    Zatch Bell! 2 - Vol. 6 Ch. 31

    Man... Luna Oliveira is the most brasilian name i have ever seen in a manga, seriously, I bet there is a Luna Oliveira in real life somewhere... generally, manga artist put such ridiculous names in brasilian characters, I don't mind most of the time, but this was a first to me. Barry became a...

    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 13 Ch. 41 - The Land of Connections

    Yeah, he came to mind... it is because I think I remember an ability that allowed to "throw objects really quickly", but it wasn't the magnetism, I remember an explanation that it was accelerating the object directly, and her ability looked like that... but I may be mixing other stories in my...

    Ryuu to Ayumu Nariagari Boukensha-dou ~Youzumi Toshite S-Rank Party kara Tsuihou Sareta Kaifuku Majutsushi, Suterareta Saki de Saikyou no Shinryuu wo…

    Believe it or not... I was not saying it isn't dumb, because it is... a LOT... but I think dwelling too much on this only detracts from enjoyment. I mean... this is not anything new, and I think this is hardly the worst example. And this may double down as a slow way of humiliating the dipshit.

    Fabula Fantasia - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - The Tower, the Princess, and the Dragon - Part 2 -

    I have no doubts. Tony must have been planning this story for years... considering this is a sort of "prequel", this level of refinement can only be achieved after MANY considerations. The storyboarding of this series is IMPECABLE, not a single panel wasted, not one line of dialogue out of...
