Never get tired of Tatsu and his specialty white powders...

I hope they're super gay just to spite all the people who are huge babies about it.

Was Japan really totally unaware of the crossbow in this time period? China had been making extensive use of them for centuries at this point.

Kinkshamer General making the power plays. Kind of a dull chapter though imo.

Still has the unrealism of many of these 'uplift' time travel stories in that the one random village blacksmith can make a lot of stuff that would probably require top craftsmen and lots of time with period techniques, but putting the focus on agricultural methods and the luck of having brought...

Rokossovsky, the front commander in this chapter, was one of the most prominent generals in the USSR after Zhukov, comparable to Konev or Vatutin. He was one of the officers that was sent to the gulag and tortured before '41 and released during the war due to the shortage of qualified...

@Terithian I mean it doesn't seem to be a hard rule. Hinamatsuri still had that whole arc about the fake docudrama, Black Lagoon had a whole arc that was just the yakuza getting bodied by Hotel Moscow. I'm sure there are plenty of others.

I never thought I'd read a yuri manga where I liked the token male comedic relief character best.

Yeah seems weird for a demon to be that stuck-up when they had that throwaway joke about hands-on sex ed in the succubus class chapter. Then again it is Amelie, randomly enforcing incoherent rules is kind of her entire shtick.

Reminds me I haven't finished all my Svetlana Alexseyavich books. I recommend them in English, they're all very poignant.

Very good art, detailed and characterful both, some of the illustrations like the thread mid-stitch when Ran is knitting near the end really kind of awed me. When I first read through the climax I really disliked the story structure, with the airy sketching out of the initial relationships with...

If you like slapstick this is a must-read IMO. Momiji is one of the all time great shitstirrers of manga. It leans a little too much on the action later which it's not as good at but anytime Momiji is messing with people (or getting messed with) it's gold, and the development of Momiji and...

I mean yes empty references are pseudo-intellectual but I'm surprised a manga would reference Pynchon in any capacity.

Despite the memetastic concept this has finely detailed art, a protagonist who isn't an edgy shithead or empty vessel (whatever you might want to say about the character concept 'a dictator who wishes he could give up his power to play with animals' is definitely not old hat for manga), and a...

I like this concept better shorn of all the nattering about past lives and game mechanics.
