    The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Gekijou Wide☆ - Vol. 1 Ch. 32

    Not sure if the doppelganger Noriko or the eternal waking is scarier.

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Vol. 5 Ch. 99

    And thus we begin Kotomi's journey into chuniibyou. Good for her.

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Vol. 2 Ch. 30

    With regards to the character notes, Aria is not so much an analyst as an anal-ist.

    And so the legend of airheaded protagonist Tsuda begins. (Also, just how good is Aria's vibrator battery? You can't keep those things going for very long.) (Because it's a weighted motor and thus inherently inefficient. I haven't been clocking vibrators, honest.)

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Ch. 605

    Chiro tries to wingman, but she's sure working uphill.

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Ch. 544

    To be completely fair on the "safe zone" bit, she was also wearing her full uniform while the girls Tsuda was looking away from were in sweaty t-shirts.

    She's been hanging out with Yokoshima-sensei too long.

    Rather than ask why manga writers can't give American characters a "plausible name", maybe ask yourself why you find names that aren't of Anglo-Saxon derivation implausible? (My reaction isn't entirely to this comment; I recently saw a bunch of people in the comments on Flying Witch complain...

    There's a refreshing amount of honesty to "The match was so amazing that I couldn't draw it".

    The last time he didn't notice he got a boob touch was with Suzu.

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Vol. 15 Ch. 403

    For anyone wondering why December equals Spring cleaning, the original is New Year's cleaning; the Japanese tradition is to clean in order to have a good start to the coming year.

    They've appeared before, but they're really a crossover from their own manga (also by this artist), Idol no Akahon.

    FWIW, Dejima's "cat" isn't exactly being told "Penis" as a command — the word "chinchin" is slang for penis, but also for some reason a command you give a dog, the equivalent of "beg". This coincidence (?) leads to endless jokes when treating a person like a dog. "Sit! Hand! Cock!"

    Suzu and Tsuda help each other through rather a lot of clothing malfunctions, don't they?

    THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - After20 - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Kawashima Mizuki, Chinatown Cuisine, and Tsingtao Beer

    How nice to see some of the younger girls too. Only downside is now I want fried rice.

    Mikakunin de Shinkoukei - Vol. 12 Ch. 142

    Part of it is that — to be perfectly honest — she's also a child. We've seen repeatedly that she's not much more mature than Mashiro. But really, she had this sprung on her, and she's very confused about what she should be doing. She really should, as everyone has said, focus on just being...

    Flying Witch - Vol. 7 Ch. 38 - A box of sweets from the other side

    Really, diamonds are only so expensive because of artificial scarcity; the De Beers cartel controls the supply — and has since the 1880s — and forces the prices up. Even were that not the case, dropping that box of a half-dozen, perfect, clear diamonds, each larger than the Star of Africa, onto...

    Flying Witch - Vol. 5 Ch. 29 - The weather isn't always bad on a rainy day

    @Tonikill1 The version I gave is called "How Joan Lost Her Sight in One Eye", and is Cornish in origin; variations are called "The Fairy Ointment" or "Midwife to the Fairies", from Wales. I don't have specific cites, but they're in various fairy story anthologies. (I came across it from a...

    Flying Witch - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - The National Bird Won't Stop Calling

    Reminds me of pheasant hunting at my grandpa's ranch in southern Idaho when I was a kid. (Dad and my other grandpa were the ones hunting, I was just kinda there.) (Pheasants are an invasive species in the Americas; in many places they need to be hunted or otherwise culled to keep their impact...

    Sidelight on the anime I find interesting. The animators integrated Hagimura's bear bell bit here with a later strip where Tsuda admires a bell ("suzu" in Japanese, for the pun) — but to do so, they had to change the depiction; the kind of bell shown, a chime with a clapper, is probably a...
