    SHY - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - Trying

    @luckpack It's a sink-or-swim tactic to get SHY to awaken whatever her particular special ability is. (Something like Stardust's redirection ability, for instance.) Nobody expects her to defeat Stardust here. Her win condition is just landing a single hit on his face. What Unilord and...

    Final Girl - Oneshot

    A oneshot with a teaser for the next film genre to be done? Now that's unfair. God, I hope somebody picks this up for serialization. @botodopo That seemed more like just the best way to avoid going off alone (certain death), than anything else.

    Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai - Fujiwara-shoki o Haramasetai (Doujinshi) - Ch. 1

    Given recent developments with Ishigami in the main series, his advice here has become retroactively hilarious.

    @thofheinz She messed up, did something that obviously hurt him, and at the end of their short conversation he's the one saying he wants to become someone worthy of her affection. That's why she's telling him he's "too kind". Ironically, it's pretty similar to what Iino told him last chapter...

    Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen - Vol. 16 Ch. 155 - Kaguya Shinomiya's Impossible Challenge: "The Swallow's Cowry" (Part 3)

    @mongs When does anybody in this manga do anything but overcomplicate things in their own heads? (Except maybe Chika. She just complicates things for other people.) Ishigami's reaction was incredibly realistic for a guy who wants a serious relationship and cares more about the girl he's...

    Kaguya-sama: Love is War

    @Isekaijin Ironically, I feel exactly the opposite. In terms of Ishigami, Miko falls almost squarely into the stock "tsundere childhood friend who can't figure out that the most annoying thing about this guy is that she kind of likes him" cliche. (She's a much more fun and interesting...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Reward

    @Superurfling "Ming" in this context is simply what Sengoku-era Japanese called the country we now know as China, the same way they used "Nanban" to refer to Europeans, European colonies around them, and foreigners in general. It's not referring to the Ming dynasty itself, but she's telling...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 3 Ch. 13 - Nursing

    @criver One of the largest problems with historical medicine across multiple cultures and time periods was misdiagnosis and subsequent administration of treatments that didn't treat the disease but put additional stress on the body. (Bloodletting is a prime example, and a number of natural...

    BEASTARS

    @Saklas Melon's one hell of a foil for Legosi and the other hybrid characters we've seen so far, and raises the massive (and unasked until his appearance) question of "if we really go through with this, is that how our kid(s) are going to turn out?" for all the potential interspecies couples...

    BEASTARS - Vol. 17 Ch. 143 - Her Breasts So Translucent the Light of the TV Passes Through Them

    I should have stopped being surprised by this point, but Beastars handles the sheer anxiety and mental component of sex and relationships really fucking well. @LunarLucario Fuck, that's great. @Sarsak That's one of the things I really appreciate about this manga: the various romantic rival...

    The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal - Vol. 3 Ch. 16

    I wasn't expecting the entire love/marriage triangle to get fished. @Xitel We're also not going to talk about how that other sea bass was burning dollar bills underwater, how the clam divers from previous chapters failed to notice they were scooping clams up from miniature traditional Japanese...

    Ningyohime no Gomen ne Gohan - Vol. 3 Ch. 15

    Oh good, a chapter where both our female protagonists have a panel sticking suspiciously phallic-looking food in their mouths. I wish fair food on-a-stick was more interesting where I am. It's all sausages and corndogs.

    The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal - Vol. 3 Ch. 14

    That cheeky implication Changler ate his 'diet' team. Well, I guess that's true dedication to your client... @AnimeAintReal I don't think so. Whether or not she goes up to the surface to eat these fish that she knew, they're being mass fished anyway, and it's come up multiple times that fish...

    Ningyohime no Gomen ne Gohan - Vol. 1 Ch. 2.8

    There's definitely some irony in the fact that a poisonous fish is the royal chef.

    The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal

    @Wreavant There's a fish the princess mentions having had a childhood crush on, and there's a guy who shows up later in the story that's got some chemistry with the princess and the potential to eventually become a love interest, but I doubt the writer's going to take it in that direction...

    I ♂ Tripped into an Otome Game - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - My Surprising Decision Branch Debut!

    @Meo I wouldn't be surprised if everybody in the world knows it's a game, but are professionals, so they're all acting along when around the MC. It wouldn't shock me if that guy went off and had a smoke break or a drink like "oh good, I'm done playing Random Attempted Rapist A for today - also...

    For Certain Reasons, the Villainess Noble Lady Will Live Her Post-Engagement Annulment Life Freely - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    @SakuraShower Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter is one of the ones that uses it, but there are a number of others. That's what I mean about these settings often being pretty schizophrenic on their tech level and what eras of history they're drawing from. Judging by fashion and architecture...

    Jingai Shunman

    This is a pretty unique monstergirl manga. It's got a lot of types you don't see very frequently (if you like insect/arachnid types, this is your jam - and I'd never seen a giant clam girl before), and even the more usual monstergirl types are done in a far more 'animalistic' style than most...
