    Isekai Samurai - Ch. 40

    Really love this series' spreads and its willingness to do a bunch of small time-skips so that the heroes don't get stuck in minor fights that take up too much screentime. Way too many series, let alone isekais, are willing to let the story breathe in small ways like that.

    Sanda - Vol. 16 Ch. 135 - The Smelting Furnace Inside His Body

    I fucking love this manga so fucking much, it doesn't give a shit about what's happening in reality because the thematic point is all it cares about. Go apeshit, Paru. Do it.

    Kimi no Sei Nan Dakara, Sekinin Totte yo ne. - Ch. 1

    Girl holds hands once with another girl on a date, immediately slides down the lesbian pipeline. It kills me how funny this is. Normally you'd have an entire anime season's worth of the main girl being in denial about the object of her affections, or even just being totally oblivious. Yurika...

    Mikadono Sanshimai wa Angai, Choroi. - Ch. 178 - Their first school festival

    Personally, I think the gen ed department will lose, but the president will have some classic manga bullshit "well ok I see your sincerity, I guess I won't ruin the lives of hundreds of students because of own personal brainworms." I would prefer it if we instead got a 'gen ed department wins...

    Isekai Samurai - Ch. 39

    This is an excellent way of building up heat for this next villain - not only establishing that he's responsible for the past few chapters' events, but showing off in this chapter that he's not a one-trick pony, he's the real deal. We're clearly not doing the typical cliche of the villain using...

    Tower Dungeon - Ch. 14 - The Warriors Who Challenge the Abyss

    Generally speaking, when a bunch of people look in one direction, your own instinct is to do the same. But yes, it's convenient that these characters just barely avoided the same fate due to being a separate group and not hanging out in the same spot. I wouldn't call these characters notable...

    Kare Nanka Yori, Watashi no Hou ga Ii Desho? - Ch. 1

    Right now it would be more accurate to say that the MC is, herself, feeling that she's being NTR'd. People tend to conflate cheating with NTR, but the two are only superficially similar. NTR is about feeling shame or humiliation or frustration that someone you love or want has been/is being...

    Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle - Ch. 55.2 - The Hexenhaus (Second Part)

    I can't say that in Keun's shoes I wouldn't do the same. If Keun played along and let Hexenhaus do this to her body, he'd never forgive himself. Even if Erica herself was fine with her body being donated, this is less about the harm to her and more about upholding basic human dignity. Not just...

    Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle - Ch. 54.2 - The Katakomben (Second Part)

    Damn, that's one hell of a way to gut punch the reader after a few low-stakes chapters. Excellent worldbuilding and art and a cool character topped off with a reminder that Keun is looking for a cult. ...Right now I'm wondering whether they only feed corpse-meat to newbies who go 'yeah there is...

    Mato Seihei no Slave - Vol. 18 Ch. 149 - The Election’s Conclusion

    Ren: "Nah, I'd win." Bell (already spanking her): "No tf you wouldn't! You'd eat shit! Stop saying that!"
