    Just finished reading a trainwreck of an ending of just another shonen action manga that I thought had great potential.

    Out of pure curiosity, I opened the manga's comment section and saw the first comment was basically "great start, hoping for a good ending"
    and I was like oh man, I'm so sorry for you. I don't know what to say, really.
    Good thing the translation stopped, so you don't have to know, I guess.

    aaaaand it happened again,
    story set in a fantasy feudal Japan,
    everyone's still wearing kimonos and hakama and all that,
    battles are still fought with swords and magic,
    dead ass generic story, nothing extraordinary, but I still like it,
    suits my taste, it's right up in my alley,
    7 volumes in,

    and then suddenly they whip out a Barrett M82
    and I was like

    I'm really curious about the "Fat Cat" bootleg Gunpla that's been getting a lot of good reviews lately.
    I accidentally broke my Core Fighter v3 a few years ago, and I've been wanting a replacement for a while.
    So, if this copycat is actually good and at a much lower price, I'm really interested.

    Don't know if they ship to Japan, tho

    So, I told my coworker that I wanted to see the new Naked Gun movie, but it wasn't coming out in Japan until September.
    I really wanted to see it in a theater because I wanted to see if the joke would land with Japanese audiences.

    My other coworker overheard us, she's Japanese, and she didn't know about that movie. And I was like: my point exactly.
    I showed her the imdb, and she was like: "Oh, that's the guy from 96 Hours."

    And that is the moment I learned that Taken is called 96 Hours in some countries.

    (re)Reading this manga after putting it on hold for quite some time since it is now completed.
    And that made me remember, a while back, someone said about wanting a romance manga that tells about breaking up, drifting apart, then getting back again. Or something like that.

    I think this manga came quite close to those requirements.
    If they don't mind yuri, that is.
    Unfortunately, after hours of searching, still haven't found that original comment.

    "Not all isekai are isekai"

    That's me after reading a manga with the word "isekai" in the title, tagged as "isekai", seems like an isekai.
    But 3 volumes in, I don't think this is an isekai story at all (as in someone got transported)
    It is just a story set in another world (lit. isekai)
    So it is just a plain fantasy story.

    Wait wait wait,
    So I'm not a movie buff. Haven't seen a movie for quite some time. But I heard about this whole Superman movie thing.
    Again, haven't seen it, but I've heard about some of the plot.

    So as I understand, Son Goku is a kind of parody of Superman, but Toriyama made Goku's backstory a little different, making his original intention to conquer Earth.
    But now the new Superman movie is doing that?

    This shit came full circle.

    This kid in my office "accidentally" brought his new Blue Archive artbook to work.
    I put accidentally in quotes because I don't believe it AT ALL.
    I mean, this book is huge. How do you "accidentally" bring an encyclopedia to work?
    Like you unconsciously put it in your backpack thinking it was your laptop or something?

    So anyway, there I was spending my evening before going home carefully flipping through his new book.

    Been reading a lot of Shoujo manhwa lately
    (I rarely read manhwa in general. Can I call it shoujo? What is it called in Korean?)
    while still keeping up with the manga updates.
    Turns out going back and forth from right-to-left reading to left-to-right reading repeatedly is pretty tough

    Little unimportant things that I accidentally noticed in the past couple months,
    I started reading some heavy drama manga, which I ended up really, really liking,

    and when I tried to find out who the authors were, it turns out that before they wrote those manga, all they had written before were BL manga.

    Don't know what that means, but there's that.
