The "really expensive vase" always crops up in manga, but I don't understand how that pyramid scheme/con trick/cult thing works. You buy a fake expensive vase and what? Resell it for a higher price? Get blessed by it?

@rinjff it was cancelled because the writer molested a child and was arrested. As he shares the copyright with the artist it would be a pain to change writers or let her continue drawing it... a shame for the fans, but it was true justice for the victims.

@nivinator you would be surprised, but a good chunk of child rape/child molesting cases don't involve clinical pedophiles. To be a pedophile one needs to only be attracted by children. But there is a wide number of cases in which the criminal had a normal sex life. In fact, there are thousands...

There's an entire section in the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual for Mental Disorders about Pedophilia. It's a mental disorder, that's the final opinion, just like any other mental disorder, like depression, dementia, schizophrenia, dissociation... You can argue they are more or less difficult...

@Istvan90623 while it probably won't affect her career, she is more or less unemployed now, and with the very complex associations with the manga, she won't get money from future reprints, anime, merchandise and so on because all of that will be cancelled. It's a very difficult situation: you...

This gave me huge Nana to Kaoru vibes. Please so the turtleshell binding to her so you can have a sliver of confidence, man.

@Alex-dono-sama back when he was creating bows and the pipsqueak master was breaking them, he says there is a lot of feathers to use, so I think every time he makes a bow he "consumes" the feather, and when he dispels the bow, it's gone. If I remember correctly, his master uses that pocky-thing...

@Kllick it would be around US$ 300.00, so it's a sizable sum for a single person, but if you are invited with a good head start (like 6 months) an achievable amount. It would be akin to buying a washing machine or a refrigerator for the couple, for each guest. Wow, your country sounds really...

@Freestyle @Kllick In Japan, you don't bring gifts, instead you bring goshugi, pristine new bills in a beautiful envelope, starting at around ¥30.000 if you aren't close to the couple. The wedding ceremony itself is closed, only the family can attend, and the guests arrive at the reception...

If his entire heart weren't so GrimReaper-focused, this mad lad would solve the problem with Japan declining birth rates on his own.

@FlyingThunder it's normal in Japan for the wife to control the household budget. As they are newlyweds and quite young, it's probably a very hard time for their pockets. Even a big bag of candy can break a budget in times like that. Also, a marriage ceremony is a good way to earn money for...

This Chad will be such a great lawyer in a few years time.

So, this is what Komi-san's Tadano will be like in 15 years or so? I hope for a sequel.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of ShindoL's Emergence? I thought not. It’s not a story Mangadex would tell you. It’s a nHentai legend.

Tatara must create a gyaru imperial. We sure need it, man.

This chapter speaks directly to me. After 14+ volumes, the Discworld book series changed publishers (in my country), and their volumes are noticeably taller. Every time I see my shelf, there is a bump on it, making it look like different collections side by side instead of a whole. Now the new...

@Saybah in some versions of The Bamboo Cutter's Tale (Kaguya's Tale), the princess from the moon is sent to Earth as a punishment for a crime, without her memories. After spending some time as human, she is forgiven by the moon people and ascends to the moon again.

my girl, you'll be getting her taste directly from the tap very soon.

Girl, first rule of romcom: he NEVER makes the first move.
