    Gensou Shinkou - Vol. 2 Ch. 6

    Summary of the story so far: Ryo has the ability to charm monster girls by touching them or making eye contact with them. Humanity is at war with the joint alliance of these monster girl kingdoms (and is presumably losing). The protagonist has realized within just a few days of meeting the...

    Rosario to Vampire - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - Let's Meet the Deadline!

    Good chapter. The first non-Tsukune-centric episode, which instead focuses on the friendship of the girls. I like what the author did here — shows that the girls are more than just cardboard cutouts for Tsukune's would-be harem, and that they actually care for each other as well.

    Rosario to Vampire - Vol. 2 Ch. 6 - Artsy Birthday

    Tbh, Moka didn't handle it in the best way either. I can understand her wanting to keep her gift for him a secret until the day of his birthday to make a surprise, but she didn't have to tell him: "What I do is none of your business!". That clearly hurt the guy, and I can understand why it did...

    Rosario to Vampire - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Let's Get Into Some Club Actvities!

    Not necessarily. Some myths depict sirens as man-hunting bird monsters with the heads of women, while others depict them as beautiful half-fish half-woman monsters not too different from mermaids. Either way, the author has many other famous mythological monsters that appear later on in the...

    Elfen Lied - Vol. 9 Ch. 78 - Boy Meets Girl

    Mayu is, what, 12? 13? And Bandou seems to be in his late 20s to early 30s... Haha, fucking hell this story is wild. Okamoto was definitely exploring his weird older man-young girl master-servant relationship fetish while writing Elfen Lied. I mean, c'mon — there's so many girls in this story...

    Elfen Lied - Vol. 6 Ch. 52 - Kurama's Daughter

    This translation is starting to feel a little shoddy

    Elfen Lied - Vol. 5 Ch. 40 - Parting

    Lmao love how we're seeing a decent side of Bandou — he's picking up litter! As much of a hot-headed bloodthirsty idiot as he may be, he's not completely comically evil lol (he also repaid his debt to Mayu after she saved his life, which is nice). And Kurama is obviously still a piece of shit...

    Elfen Lied - Vol. 3 Ch. 24 - Nyuu Caught

    I usually try to give the "cookie-cutter nice guy dark-hair" male protagonists in anime and manga a break... But this is just silly. Kouta didn't even try to ask the professor to see some form of ID or whatever — anything, really! Some form of way to prove that the professor wasn't just talking...

    Elfen Lied - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Elf

    Kurama says she was toying with all of them — she made it seem like she needed to use Kisaragi as a hostage in order to make sure they let her escape, when she didn't even need the hostage to begin with She's basically telling Kurama "I killed a whole squad of armed officers, and I can kill you...

    Holyland - Vol. 18 Ch. 177 - Letter

    That's the point. The "streets" aren't some soft sunshine-and-rainbows type place. They're a place people escape to when they "fail in the real world", just like Masaki told Tetsu. You lose your job, you drop out of school/college/uni, you become estranged from your family/friends, you grieve a...

    Holyland - Vol. 17 Ch. 169 - Lie

    It was established very early on into the story that Yuu has no place in his family anymore. He still lives with them, eats at the same table as them (maybe not so much anymore since he's always out in the streets when they're having dinner and whatnot), and sleeps under the same roof as them —...

    Holyland - Vol. 15 Ch. 142 - Demolition Man

    Damn, gotta feel bad for that Kenji guy. He got his ass beat Yuu and Taka way back, following Yoshii around. And after that, at least from the sounds of it, he looks to have trained a lot. Even Shougo and the new Tetsu guy compliment him on his physique and technique — but he still ended losing...

    Holyland - Vol. 14 Ch. 139 - An Evil

    It's something called "growing into one's own artstyle"; maybe Koji Mori, the author of this story, was just trying to test the waters with his artstyle in the beginning stages of the manga, and over time it shifted into what you see in this chapter You also have to factor in things like chapter...

    Holyland - Vol. 13 Ch. 129 - Two Years Ago (3)

    This is what sucks about so many people: they think others have to go through what they did — so what if you went through that ass-kissing and beatings and he didn't? A truly strong person will be better than the trauma they went through, not stoop down to its level Though, I guess if it wasn't...
