Man, sharks are truly marvellous. They can thrive in any environment - oceans, tornados and even deserts. Take that, worms.

@namx2 this is a world where dungeons and towers appear out of thin air and people have status windows. Others might not believe him, but it sure as hell wouldn't sound crazy. Besides, his friends would believe him, at the very least.

And henceforth he became known as the One Punch Hunter.

Man, loss of identity aside, it would be wonderful to know firsthand about a great civilisation of the past. Imagine the gaps he could fill about the story of the Sphinx and the Great Library - not to mention how cool it would be to fluently speak and write Ancient Greek. Not that he could...

It just occurred to me that this is essentially Cloud Atlas, the manga.

A series of misunderstandings?

Fortuna is more of a girl's name. You know, being the goddess of luck and fate and all that.

Assimilation rate 0% probably means he completely becomes a "guest", and thus becomes effectively immune to perils of that world - like a player in a MMORPG. He will then probably remember who he was before he was a skeleton soldier, maybe even "wake up", like Neo after taking the red pill.

Yes, this chapter truly captures the essence of why there are nude self-portraits. It's usually not narcissism, it's a dialogue with yourself.

Can we talk about the lighting on the lower frame on page 39? The hair shadows are just amazing. I don't think I've ever seen those drawn, and that never occurred to me until I saw it there. This is truly a work of art on its own right.

Love the covers. <3

Can we talk about that cover? It represents everything that has been discussed throughout the story so far. The composition is amazing, and it essentially screams NIHON! in a multitude of ways. The watercolour background with strong, solid streaks of nanquim paint reflects the country's...

Woah, this hit me harder than I thought it would. I wish I'd had an epiphany like that, a moment of certainty. But every time I thought I'd found my vocation, I eventually lost interest. And so I became that boring adult. I wonder, what should I have done differently? Maybe try harder to listen...

@dingus I find that incongruence interesting. It's not even contradictory, it's just tribal thinking: you only empathise with those close to you. That's the problem Paul Bloom discusses in Against Empathy, and why we should be careful about letting our feelings dictate our moral values.

Such saccharine happiness, but I love it. I will think of it as fanfic though (even though it's technically canon), because life is never so perfect, and I feel like this detracts something from the story. I'm glad I finally came around to reading the manga. Made me think about some things, gave...

I think I'm starting to get insensitive to some things, after being exposed to so many great stories. I've found this good, don't have anything in particular to criticise, but I feel like Kimi No Na Wa. (Your Name.) is the ultimate and unsurpassable incarnation of this kind of "lovers doomed to...

The brother???

Ah, the power of love. Overcoming any plot devices since times unknown.

Wait, are they both working there now? Otherwise it's just too much coincidence.

Wait, wasn't he supposed to remember them? Why did he act like he didn't know who they were?
