Can somebody explains to me what's better about "webcomic" format compares to the box traditional comic form that many of these comics even from Japan have turned to? I can understand the intention to adapt to smartphone constrain. However, I think smartphone screens are good and large enough...

Baseball form for golf? What is this? Happy Gilmore? It's true that generally, swing forms are similar. It's just about adjusting the point of impact.

I read this when I was still college. Finally everything was translated. What a work, subtle and educational. Fits right in with the old style shoujo.

Blonde dude is a real patriot, fought for his country to the death.

I thought the translation stopped because there's an official translation?

It's how the market operates. Another parallel is the "left over goods on shelf". If a shelf of a particular item only have a few items left, few people would buy them because they might think "something must be wrong with it that's why it's still on the shelf". This often happens with fruits...

Depicting Mary as a paranoid religious nut who's a pawn to the Spanish crown is rather reductive and archaic.

I know everyone is mad because they continued a light-hearted teenage romance story with drama, but I also find the mild deconstruction of the typical "kind harem protagonist" quite interesting.

I reckon this series will focus on the romance over historical event. It is still a shoujo at the end of the day.

Wasn't that last pitch out of the zone? He got a lucky call didn't he?

And much of the foundation of Elizabeth's reign started during that 5 years. Fiscal reform, naval investment and colonial efforts began under Mary.

Absolutely. While I don't think the story is anything spectacular, no offence to the writer, I think the artist had elevated the material.

Mix feelings so far. The premise is drama, but in drama you want build up and anticipation. Someone people criticise dramas as "slow and going no where", but that's precisely the selling point of drama. It stimulates the part of the brain that's activated when we encounter social tension. This...

This man is teasing us again with the brothers, he's probably not going to what he did in Touch. Right?

Are the characters in this a little too obvious? I like that all of them have serious flaws and seeing them making mistakes or overcoming their flaws is great, and I look forward to see how the drama unfolds, but the manga is a little too on the nose for me. Making the characters subtle would be...

This feels like a superior Akame ga Kill, edginess done better.

At the end it suggests she's some kind of "disaster-class" monster, so much so that they cannot see her as one of their own.

Kind of simplistic than I had hoped. Queen Mary as a character is very interesting as her religious belief is not just spiritual and environmental, but also a form of defiance against her father since it was the tool Henry VIII used to diminished her mother's status. I think her hostility...

The note about Napoleon's genius seems redundant. I don't think anyone would ever deny his genius. The decision to abandon the Pratzen Heights was nothing short of spectacular. Theorists can analyse it to their grave, how many would emulate such a feat? His skilful manoeuvre is another example...

The depiction of Mary I is interesting. She fits the mould of the modern shoujo "villainess". Born with life long poor health, temperamental, in constant conflict with her father who reduced her mother and her to a lesser status, sent her to her half-sister household (Elizabeth grew up around...
