It essentially that is what it is. But it's a very well-oiled and standardized practice in the idol industry/culture. Handshake, photo, maybe time for a word, and you're out of there, it's very fast for the shortest ones.

No, you deserve hostility for trying to show someone else up with a nonsensical line of reasoning, that also belittles the author, the manga and the readers. Then hammering it down with a borrowed word that you assumed few others would know. Like I said, that's why you covered it up in spoiler...

It varies according to the rules of each idol group and even the specific event. But generally speaking, you either buy a ticket directly or purchase some specific merch on site (usually laid out in front of the meeting booth area) and gain a ticket as a bonus. That ticket is usually good for...

Give mangaka more credit. As I said in the edited version of my post, I elaborated further on why just assuming mangaka go the most predictable routes is itself lazy thinking. It means as a reader, you are looking for tropes instead of the twists. Worse than coming to the wrong answer, you're...

That's lazy thinking and furthermore has nothing really to do with Occam's Razor. The latter is misquoted and misinterpreted by just about everyone. It actually means not to overcomplicate problem solving by adding factors that aren't yet present or evident. The idea that the simplest...

The joke goes a little harder than that. While there are non-meat type Aspic, the term is more commonly taken to be interchangeable with 'meat jelly'. The mangaka is literally saying she's a meat bag suspended in jelly.

A chapter ago I noted that it was too early to figure if Ange had a truly bad personality. It was possible, but it was also possible that she was just on such poor terms with Jelly that she gets agitated around her. Well, safe to say we got our answer, she's a crazy narcissist.

I don't think so. The slave merchant she's talking about is rich and well-connected. If they came at her with armed men, she would be in at least a bit of trouble. Given her poor combat ability outside of what is essentially big game hunting tactics, perhaps even really in danger if they were to...

I don't see why anyone would draw a manga like that. A novel would be one thing, but a manga? Such a relationship would simply be a normal relationship, but with the added trait of either or both partners being promiscuous. If it's not a bait n switch, and not some plot where they want to...

Hoping? You mean Hoping? You mean declaring. It was disgusting how much people were yelling 'trope' or 'mid' or stuff. This isn't the most surprising development either, but it's a far cry from the gutter trash people were spouting because they thought they were cleverer than Aka or that the...

Just so people know. The salt is almost definitely not some kind of drug like cocaine. In high-class dining and drink experiences, sometimes salt is offered to enhance the flavor profile and experience of the drinks. There's different kinds of ways like mixing it into the drink or taking it...

I guess it hasn't been a secret, but I suppose this is the first direct confirmation that Raoul's magic actually depends on his continuing to pursue his revenge and not just killing, but torturing his targets? But it also explains his continuous power ups as well. The scale of his schemes and...

...They're teens. And he actually likes them, which is why he's so accepting, even if it makes him embarrassed and uncomfortable. He's a closet Casanova, he's both good at and likes doing it. Everyone's forgotten probably, but in his past life, he got killed jumping in front of two female...

Well it's MTL so...

It was definitely a reference to Nanoha....maybe not in the novel, but the manga clearly does. And it's not the only one, this blade and the rest of the equipment is full of references to various other series. Someone really had fun with this one. The weapon's full capabilities are probably...

Now it just sounds like you're fishing for something to criticize while backpedaling faster than a sports car can reverse. I call you out on you using this series to somehow bang on about Japanese tropes. Then you say its 'hyperbole'...to the extent that NONE of your prior arguments are...

It's not true that they don't mix well. Autocratic societies, which include monarchies, have always rely on ambitious and capable generals. That very quality that makes soldiers loyal to a general is what keeps them loyal to the nation and the crown. The key point is giving said generals, and...

...we're reading the same manga right? It feels more like you're projecting what you see as a JP manga trope (how about you read a little wider...literally the power of JP manga is how varied the genres are...and predominantly series that get scanlated follow certain tropes). The beastmen...

I thought it was pretty good the wolf clan head was kept consistent. He's yelling at the humans to give up, but seemingly it's to either rile them up or to try and figure out if they have any plans. Meanwhile the tiger clan head really does seem to be a simple blowhard. After all, he raised his...

Even though I knew what it was, I still find it in poor taste. Sometimes just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should.
