    Tower Dungeon - Ch. 7 - Yuva, Renowned Thrower of Salt

    That weapon has the Toha Heavy Industries symbol on it. Once more they appear. And apparently it's called the 'fragment' symbol. Given the established pattern, there was presumably some organization that created various magical tools and artifacts, including the dragon slaying artifact, and...

    Fool Night - Vol. 6 Ch. 52 - Finally

    Called it. Once more the manga mirrors reality, in that when trust in government institutions is low, rumors and false claims will spread quickly and official statements disputing them are close to useless.

    Fool Night - Vol. 6 Ch. 45 - Document

    The main issue I see with the fake document plan is that once the narrative has grabbed onto it, claiming that it is fake is likely to not do much. Of course they would claim it's fake, they are the ones under attack. People are more likely to accept 'facts' that align with what they already...

    Fool Night - Vol. 4 Ch. 31 - The Farm

    The true evil is the social inequality and preeminence of the rich that allows them to get away with this sort of thing. Imagine a system with fairer taxation, which focused on providing basic necessities for cheap, and which didn't allow a small group of individuals to accrue such large...

    Fool Night - Vol. 3 Ch. 23 - Farewell

    There is some irony in that a few days ago she told him that she and her aunt had private mercenaries working on this with the intent of undercutting the police, and pointed out that he hasn't done anything substantial of his own in his wish for revenge, but now the reaction to him doing...

    Fool Night - Vol. 3 Ch. 19 - Assembly

    I think you're mistaking the voice of certain characters with that of the author. The talking points of the anti-transfloration faction have flaws, and many (though not all) of those flaws come down to similar mentalities and logical mistakes as what you might see in real world discussions...

    Jujutsu Literature Club - Ch. 1 - Who would win, me or you ?

    I gave this a try mostly from a 'wait, someone did something like this' angle, but I gotta say the art is decent. Yes, it's basic, but it's the kind of solid that could be turned towards all sorts of things with the right accompanying story telling and work out well. So, kudo for that.

    Earth Recording 0001 - Oneshot

    The way things work out are a little undercut by how unnecessary the contributing parts were. 1. She could totally visit earth. She'd just have to wear a reverse space suit. It'd be difficult to make, but the motivation of meeting an alien would work for scientists and government both. And...

    Jujutsu Kaisen - Vol. 22 Ch. 199 - Epithet

    'Itadori, who's thrilled to be wearing a bathrobe for the first time.' lol

    Sentai Daishikkaku - Ch. 135 - Career Advancement

    They were both in the snake executives obstacle course dream. I don't remember D being close enough to hear yellow keeper talking about his role in making the invaders for most of it, but maybe that time interval was an exception.

    Sentai Daishikkaku

    Some time after death messiah, the keepers did a coup against red, because of how he was largely responsible for the rangers being almost dissolved (from when he crushed that guys hand). He was washed away by the river, lost his memory, and taken in Sanae, where he stayed for a few months...

    Sentai Daishikkaku - Vol. 13 Ch. 121 - Yakushi Usukubo, Age 18

    The way he repeatedly says 'invaders should/shouldn't be like this' when his guest behaves unexpectedly makes it clear he didn't appreciate her for what she was as much as for the mental image he projected on her as an invader. All the worse if she adapted to that mental image.

    Sentai Daishikkaku - Vol. 9 Ch. 81 - Monster Zoo, Part 2

    Those monsters having beam attacks... it makes me wonder if that crazy devil woman isn't making them based on the divine weapon modules she got from the MC.

    Tower Dungeon - Vol. 2 Ch. 5 - Chapter 5: Marquess Karash, Draco-Metamorph

    Nobility having positions enshrined by law and can't be taken down without concrete proof. Of course in practicality that isn't an insurmountable barrier, but it still depends on how much people in parliament are willing to do and give up to get rid of him. And depending on how self serving the...
