"But, since neither my editor or I knew anything about this, we figured most of the readers wouldn't either, and so it was fine." I am in awe. That is laziness perfected into an art form.

This is just my personal take on translating SFX: ONLY do it if it's simple to do because it's just plain text. If it's woven into the artwork and requires extensive redrawing, leave it alone unless it's critical for understanding what's happening. Like "snap" when someone's broken a bone or...

@JohnJRenns Right, thank you! Then I guess this is feedback the author will never see. It doesn't matter if Miko-chan looks like Reimu, since it's eventually clear that she's Reimu's successor from context. (Same applies to Marisa having gone Youkai.) If anything, the ambiguity over whether...

@ragtime What? Oh, so he is. One might assume that's a bit of information that really should have been included in the post-battle statistics... "Captured enemy rulers: 1 out of 1". It's not like the rest really matters in that case. Now, how does someone as ruthless and ostensibly brilliant...

Was the page 4 disclaimer in the original? It's completely unnecessary, I would think. It's practically a spoiler, if anything.

@Eldistan Writing "tsundere" well is a science unto itself. The issue isn't the harsh behavior on the outside, the key is that there has to be a golden core at the center. Taiga may be prone to violent outbursts, but as the story unfolds she is shown to be noble, caring and self-sacrificing...

I'm not sure I've seen any character steal the show as completely as Butagigas has stolen the show in this manga. This is like... Steve Urkel in Family Matters stuff.

Are you sure you have the distinction between "war" and "battle" nailed down? The outcome of a single battle doesn't determine the outcome of the entire war. A war consists of potentially many battles. The final tally in the last panel suggests that there are still battles to be fought - Dalios...

Oh snap, a medieval fantasy setting that actually abuses its magic system to its full potential in battle?

Refugee dwarves who are masters of craftsmanship chased out from their mountainhome by a demonic malevolent force! I'm sure that has never been done before! What an original concept! Executed very well, that's all that matters.

Okay, forget about the idiot couple - that's never going to lead anywhere. I want a manga centered on these two voice magicians who can literally put people to sleep through the power of opera.

I'm not sure people who are hard on Kotaro here acknowledge the fact that he would not have brought any of this up if Asako hadn't pressed him for the truth about his feelings. He's self-aware enough to know that his possessive or jealous emotions are out of line - that he cannot possibly pin...

Oh my, that's so serendipitous! The beer he bought at the end was literally her 150th one, and she didn't even realize it? Or would it have been 151?

What I really like is that I can see how this connects to the very early stages of the manga. There's this scene where she's hit on by some rando who tries to impress her with some song he wrote himself that he claims "transcends art" or something like that. There's this moment where she goes...

The "Z" reference is pretty clearly referencing Dragon Ball. So yes, they're discussing a title for a sequel. Maybe it's just being moved to another magazine and receiving some sort of soft reboot?

If there's one thing there's no shortage of, it's Touhou manga artists. I think it still accounts for the biggest chunk of doujinshi released each year. And I doubt he can be that difficult to work with - Aki Eda is back to happily drawing Touhou artwork post-WoHH. I think he keeps looking for...

@zano187 Well, why WOULDN'T she? Just look at her! How did you get this far without realizing this manga runs almost completely on Rule of Cool? It's like asking for a scientific explanation for how lightsabers work. "Very well, thanks for asking."

Man, that's really level-headed of her in a way. If they start boinking, eventually there'll be kids, and those kids will be targeted by enemies of Qin. Someone's got to teach her about non-PIV intercourse. Shame the Shiyuu don't seem to have a bullshit power related to contraception... What am...

Oh God, this manga. Talk about the perfect feel-good fantasy slice of life. Casually introducing a whole bunch of classic fantasy dwarves and making them big, burly and just as adorable as you've ever seen anything. About a succubus. Remember when we were all briefly worried in the beginning...

Remember, if you knew nothing else about it, wouldn't a 22-year-old man dating a 17-year-old girl make you worry why he's shooting for someone so young rather than a woman his own age? Just a little? The age gap is a more than believable source of conflict here. If she's asking herself if it's...
