Baldies aren't gray creatures. They're the "Shaolin kungfu master/exorcist" archetype from old HK movies. That's why they have Chinese names and are bald.

It isn't. Basically, she's a reverse-ojousama character. Instead of being a sheltered lady with a twisted sense of how the world works for commoners below her station, she's a sheltered slave with a twisted sense of how the world works for commoners above her station.

Mangaplus will continue. It's owned by Shueisha, the original Japanese publisher. However, that may only be true for non-Anglosphere readers. Anglosphere readers may be region-locked, depending on their agreement with Viz.

It doesn't really work. Cats will either accept each other immediately, be a bit shy around each other for about a week, or declare each other mortal enemies right away. The room separation method is just to avoid the inevitable brutality if they choose the last. What actually happens is that...

Okay, now all that's left is to rescue Mako's hair!

Oh, so this was how the gang started. Damn. Robin was really f-ed up from the start.

I mean... every 24-hour konbini in Japan has a hot water tap out front for making ramen... just find one.

Vespasian isn't associated with cabbage, though. That would be the much later Diocletian. Vespasian is instead associated with turnips (he famously got pelted with them on one occasion) and mules (he went into the mule trade while in North Africa). Also, the two old guys got switched here. In...
