    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 30

    Once again, chapter 1 saying she had no where else to stay implies she had no other options left. Because their predictions clash with the tone that was established. If the author wants to go in that direction, fine. I don't take any issue with that. People claiming that the author WILL go in...

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 30

    Reread chapter 14 From my understanding Usagi Drop completely changes direction part way through. It wasn't like Oreimo where they set up the undertones from the get go. "She plans on draining his finances with no intention of helping out" is a very different tone from "She's in a bind and he's...

    The simplest explanation would be that she was telling the truth and just forgot. You want to bring up Occam's razor, but Hanlon's razor also applies: Do not attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. She has been portrayed as an airhead from the beginning, so it's in...

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 30

    What holes? People have been inventing conflicts because they want the cozy slice of life story to be more tragic than it actually is. They are calling a woman that helps put food on the table a leech because they were incapable of giving the benefit of the doubt. Also, it was started outright...

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 30

    Unless they put a comedic spin on it, going over how every person she's ever known has died in tragic circumstances would really drag down the mood of the story. [She was in a bind and he was available] is all that really matters for this story. You might be curious, but you can also just make...

    Mieruko-chan - Ch. 69

    She also mistook a ghost kid holding a balloon before it "revealed" itself. I agree that it's a higher ranked spirit, but I think the "creepy uncle" appearance is just a lure to trick people with "the sight" into interacting with it. My theory for a while is that spirits operate at different...

    Shiboritoranaide, Onna Shounin-san!! - Vol. 11 Ch. 61.2 - Skill-Eater 5 Part 2

    From what I remember, magic items are made by infusing 1 or more spell effects into an item. If the effect(s) is/are too strong, it wares away at the item, with the worse case being that it crumbles away after 1 use. The items can be reinforced by applying negative effects or conditions to use...

    Garuru Girl - Vol. 3 Ch. 17

    I'm going to start off with that the art was amazing and was the main reason I even checked this series out in the first place From a writing perspective, it played all it's cards too early and didn't really have anywhere to go, so I'm not surprised that it got axed. It was pretty clear that...

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 17

    I find the people crying "bait and switch" really funny. I've said from the start the the father was never going to be relevant to anything and in the end, he wasn't. I've also been pointing out that it's a cutesy 4-koma with a focus on cute moments between characters for a while, but y'all kept...

    Subete no Jinrui wo Hakai Suru. Sorera wa Saisei Dekinai. - Vol. 16 Ch. 61 - Our Adieu

    While I don't have any issue with Emi herself, I kind of prefer any of Hajime's other options over her

    Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 13

    She was upset about them getting together because she didn't understand what it meant for her and was afraid she was going to be "replaced". She saw the painting and was told of it's origin. As far as she's aware, all they did was make a painting, so she'd have no reason to raise an eyebrow...

    Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. - Vol. 6 Ch. 58 - Noa-Senpai and A Hug

    An interesting reaction I'm noticing in the comments, and I could be wrong, but people aren't surprised that she's unhinged. They're surprised by HOW unhinged she actually is. Like, every few chapters, they peel back another layer and we find out she's worse than we thought. Personally, I'd...

    Kimi no Koto ga Dai Dai Dai Dai Daisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo - Ch. 214 - Rentarou's Family's After-School Snack

    This reminded me of Suika Game or that one Pokemon cafe moblie game.
