    Ragna Crimson - Ch. 74 - A Half-century

    I love the pacing on this manga, though I hope we get back to more slightly longer chapters. Still though yet more reveals, it feels in a natural way like the change Crimson and Ragna have wrought has started to have ripple effects throughout the world which are growing faster and faster...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Ch. 193 - Operation's End

    Of course, that makes total sense and also adds a bit of an extra dark layer to "we should be grateful to her too" :(

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Ch. 193 - Operation's End

    Thanks for the chapter, that's not a bad finale at all with a ton of new stuff in play. The powers built over the previous arc, and the sacrifices made, did in fact pay off to some extent here. I think that significantly reduces any sort of "no real stakes", literally a Child did in fact die for...

    The Bugle Call: Song of War - Vol. 5 Ch. 16 - The Land of Facsimiles

    Another great chapter, thank you! The Emperor, and in turn probably the Pope, likely knows what the true original nature of their powers are. In retrospect and comparing examples we've seen between flowering and not, it does seem like the "base" usage of power is kind of crude, filtered through...

    Shoukoku no Altair - Vol. 26 Ch. 145 - The Garden of Labyrinth

    Thanks for the chapter as well. Looking through history, arguably one of the biggest final challenges in transitioning to modern forms of government has been dealing with almost a paradox of power. In order to defeat autocratic empires bent on conquest in a major war, it's necessary for a nation...

    Mokke - Vol. 9 Ch. 50.5 - Mini-Mokke 3

    Thanks for finishing this off! It's been interesting reading this in the context of reading Tsuraneko as well, which has a similar vibe/setting but with a 20 year difference for the author and some resulting refinements. I hesitate somewhat, but even so I'll toss out It's My Life for...

    Dungeon Meshi - Vol. 1 Ch. 0 - Oneshot

    Welcome home, one last time ;_; The incredibly well thought out ahead of time world building and characterization was a big part of the DM magic. Attention to detail made it really rewarding as a reader to pay attention to little things, like a real window on their world.

    Twinstar Cyclone Runaway - Ch. 8 - There's nothing you can do about things that have always been tall

    As I thought a few chapters ago, they (both of them but particularly Diode) have been getting their entire strategy all backwards. It's not just pointless but entirely backwards to try to put down their own abilities and "blend in", because that's just impossible for them given who they are...

    Who Decided That Blues Had to Be Cool!? - Ch. 20 - Blues Are Plentiful

    This is very late so dunno if you'll see it, but Mangadex had a bunch of issues and had to get reworked again ~3 years back into the version you see today. The transition process was pretty stretched out since of course it's all volunteer, and one of the things that took quite awhile to return...

    Shoukoku no Altair - Vol. 26 Ch. 144 - Red Snake's Bells

    It occurs to me that from one perspective even this could be part of his true revenge. He wasn't just mad at individuals even though sure he hated the emperor, he was mad at the whole system of governance that resulted in that outcome. If he simply became something of the same nature as the...

    Shoukoku no Altair - Vol. 26 Ch. 144 - Red Snake's Bells

    I'm glad to see this as the end game to finish this epic series. It's not just about winning the war dominating the entire series but if can they "win the peace" afterwards. Kind of the paradox of a world conflict like that, the kind of military, military economy, leadership, thinking, and...

    Urasekai Picnic - Vol. 13 Ch. 68 - Pandora in the Next Room I

    Kinda feel like at this point she should really know better and have at least as good a weirdness sense as us the readers. This is one of the Nietzsche-ish flavors of supernatural, the type where to Observe the supernatural is to give it special power over you in turn, even though it can mess...

    Non-chan to Akari - Vol. 3 Ch. 30 - Apart

    Excellent, the always heart warming power of friendship and bonds bringing the nearly lost back to the light and joy of life... wait a second..... What a ride!

    April Fool's Collection 2024 - Ch. 1.75 - Gushing over Magical Girls

    Amidst a sea of low effort text replacement this really stands out, thanks so much for giving us 200% this year as well as an amazing TL each time, such a glorious series deserves it. And also 200% best wishes to Ononaka having a smooth and complete recovery with hopefully a bit of well earned rest.

    Shoukoku no Altair - Vol. 26 Ch. 142 - The Price of Unification

    I'll add my thanks as well. I already bought the 25 official english releases, it's a real epic. Which makes it all the more intensely disappointing when it stalls out right before the finale. Maybe they'll get it going again this year and manage to finish but maybe it'll be one of those ones...

    1-nen A-gumi no Monster - Vol. 11 Ch. 60 - Teacher, Did Someone Call Me?

    Not sure this is entirely fair to him. By definition he's not in the clearest mental state. Having gone through a bunch of therapy and work, and apparently been getting better, overestimating himself and thinking "the last step is to confront my fears and then set them aside" doesn't seem that...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Ch. 189 - The Unification Ritual

    Damn! We kind of suspect but here we go, that's what is going on "in the shadows". Now we're kicking into serious royal/noble politics multi-way power struggle backstabbing games, with a coup against the GGF being enacted under their noses. Great stuff. And for Kate, both risk and opportunity...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Ch. 188 - Enemies and Allies

    There's a delightful bit of irony in the GGF and Shadows House trying so hard to ape/dark mirror everything about "nobility", and doing so "well" they get straight to the "...and ultimately the people rose up against the selfish blinded nobility" phase of things :). Now with this a lot of the...

    Dungeon Meshi - Vol. 14 Ch. 97.6 - Extra - Harta Magazine Anniversary

    Superb as always, hard to believe it's been six months already since the grand finale of this glorious epic. Also on this extra specifically, kind of nerdy but since I've been studying rocketry a bit recently it brought to mind "the tyranny of the Rocket Equation". Rockets have to carry all...

    Suicide Girl - Vol. 9 Ch. 35 - The Sun Rises

    Yes, and that interesting difference definitely has a "finale" feel around it. She can't commit suicide in order end it and restore things, but perhaps she can can give up her powers or some noble sacrifice/loss? Or maybe if they beat the mother/final boss, triumphing over the avatar of despair...
