Makes perfect sense. Not every child of a noble can inherit the title. The rest of them are interested in jobs where they can earn a title by their deeds. Slay a dragon, get married to a princess or something. If they aren't making much money in the meantime - it's not a problem, they can rely...

Makes perfect sense, if you think that these are not random demon people, but sycophants specifically allowed into the royal palace.

Basically, the girl is very attractive, but the guy doesn't want that kind of relationship. His reasons include his dead girlfriend, and chances of randomly getting transported back into his original world, leaving NPCs like her alone.

I prefer to describe this manga as a slice of life. All life, not just the good parts of it.

We didn't have gauge bosons in 6th grade back when I was a kid. Also, explaining that would require quantum mechanics, and it's really counter-intuitive, so very few people truly understand it.

Curiously, the one who came through the portal was an Antarctian who failed (passed?) the psychological exam. But very big.

I think before that, we'll learn genetic engineering. It's like evolution, but we can bypass the "an then we'll die a lot" part, which is very nice. But I'm sure we'll use genetic engineering for stupid things.

The unattractive one in this chapter is a boy. He's kinda bad at everything. Which is actually quite common for this manga's boys, and may be a bigger indicator of the author's prejudice. I think at this point, the only guys shown from the good side are the quick-thinking elder in the false gods...

That escalated quickly. Also, I don't think there was anything "preachy" about this chapter, given that none of the speakers are in any position of authority. Who would take a high school girl's advice on raising children? And listening to an antarctian's advice is a bad idea in general. They're...

To be honest, the last part of their discussion doesn't make sense to me. I understood it as far as Mitama's father wanting to be a painter. But the part about the relationship between Mitama and her father left me confused. About as confused as abstract art, yes.

I like the explanation "it's basically a competition in stretching the definition of 'art'".

I am pretty sure this chapter is a reference to some Western sci-fi movie, but I am not familiar enough with them to tell you which exact movie it references. The plot is that an ordinary rural american village is being taken over by fungus aliens, who are either replacing or infecting the...

But it does make class rep feel bad enough about it that she lashed out at her father. Or maybe the box is actually cursed and affects her this way.

Making the world a weirder place, one mythic killer robot at a time.

Their world is a warped mirror of our own. Due to greater variety between races, they have to be more heavy-handed than in the real world about it. It's already been established that their children's entertainment is more political than our own, in that fairy tale where the hero established...
