    Made in Abyss - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - Bottom Layer

    Very well said. Like the whole Oshi no Ko incest debacle in the West is just hilarious. In Japanese and Chinese forums, folks were overwhelmingly saying that Aka would be redeemed and GOATed if he pulled that one off, while so many mainstream Western fans said they'd walk away in disgust lmao...

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - Bottom Layer

    So apparently the manga was conceived by Tsukushi to be named "Hello Abyss" but the editor convinced him to use "Made in Abyss" instead. Remember reading about that somewhere one year ago. This seems to be a reference to that history.

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71.2 - That Name

    I mean, at least you can say there was some sort of foreshadowing as it was mentioned during Illya's fight with Beatrice that her memory leaks out in the form of the thunder she releases in the sky (also the reason why Illya and the readers were able to see Beatrice's backstory with Julian), so...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71.2 - That Name

    It was really touching and my eyes are wet reading this chapter! Of course Priya will end like this. Being different from the original FSN is the whole point for its existence. This pace of plot advancement... I wonder if the anime production team got impatient and asked Hiroyama to speed up...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71.2 - That Name

    Just a note, the "November issue" of Comp Ace will actually be released in September. This is the "October issue" right now lol. Though of course whether he can keep up the pace is another matter...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 122 - SENSEI

    Very true. It can be interpreted that in Aqua's mind he will be the one to take it all on by himself, and no others should do it. So him saying this is consistent with his self-image. Though as you also pointed out, the irony comes when the others take a look at him in turn, i.e. why wouldn't...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 122 - SENSEI

    So it finally happened, pretty much as everybody expected... Logically speaking it took way too long, but I guess thematically this is something the authors planned from the very beginning for sure. It's quite ironic that Aqua can tell Ruby to not be blinded by the revenge without any...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71 - The Light I Once Saw

    Wow, didn't know that he even got heart surgery. I remember there was something with his arm. Got a source for the heart surgery news? If so that's really bad and I'm glad he's back again.

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71 - The Light I Once Saw

    Hiroyama actually posted an update in his Fanbox a few days ago, saying that he's making progress with Priya now and that he's sorry for having people worry about him while he was able to get a break. Now there's a lot of work piled up, he's getting to them one by one...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    I have seen some comments which point out that even though that's the official division of work, parts of the story do seem to have Mengo's mark on them and it becomes hard to tell whose idea it is for certain plot elements. I also would imagine they discuss ideas on the story naturally over...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    I feel one way to interpret the laughter scene might be more hysterical than truly "evil", i.e. more in the sense of a mental breakdown. Guess it will become clearer later when we look back at this part.

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    Well, I guess a point is that Kana never got the whole revenge thing (at least not yet), unlike Akane, not to mention the "role" she's supposed to play in it, which could well involve some danger or at least underhandedness. Thus it makes sense why Aqua wouldn't tell her outright. But I also do...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    Nah, my main focus on the story ever since seeing the beginning has been to see Aqua's full self-destruction and spiral toward insanity. It's finally here, albeit much delayed (and might still be reversed in the end), so at least I'm happy that this is happening.

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    Yeah... That's the conflict between his desire to live a normal life and his fate to carry out the revenge, which has been playing out throughout the whole story. For now, it seems the latter is having the upper hand though, which is exactly what I wanted to see. tbh I would be somewhat...

    [Oshi no Ko] - Ch. 117 - PANDA

    Ah, I've been wanting to punch Aqua in the face ever since the chapter when he talked with Ichigo on the pier, realized their father is still at large, and restarted this path of no return with ever greater haste. The moment he pushed Kana, the moment he walked away from Akane, now this. This is...

    Made in Abyss - Ch. 64 - Juusou

    Right. That sounds reasonable. Wouldn't be surprised if Tsukushi has some crazy twist prepared here once again though. We'll see :)

    Made in Abyss - Ch. 64 - Juusou

    Of course Reg gets brutalized again lmao. It's definitely one of Tsukushi's 好み. There are a ton of fighting scenes in this chapter! A welcome break once in a while. It seems that there were also 5 members in Srajo's team from the scene at Bondrewd's base, but didn't the person with a mask look...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Vol. 12 Ch. 62.2 - From The Planet To The People

    @Lolipop_Candy to be honest I don't think it's clear what happened with Darius, and I'm not sure if Hiroyama knew either when he drew that chapter lol. You can also interpret Gil's sentence in the sense that since Darius has transformed into something completely different, he's long not a...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Vol. 12 Ch. 62.2 - From The Planet To The People

    The line from Ruby about feeling excited for killing Illya lmao. It's definitely something from Hiroyama himself, just like the frame of Tanaka pinning Illya down on the ground when they first met. Actually the part about Illya having a trip to the original peaceful world 2 episodes ago + this...

    Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete - Vol. 4 Ch. 20

    It’s not clear if even the white QB is a good character at all. One way it can go if we follow the Madoka logic is that the black and white QBs are staging fights between magical girls and enormeta so that they can harvest energy from those fights/emotions, together. At least it’s clear that the...
