Pretending that you're going to die in four days for your dramatic love is hilariously accurate little-kid behavior, which makes this my new favorite childhood friend backstory.

"Is this what I get for giving so little thought to people's feeling up 'till now?" He thinks, while absentmindedly agreeing to meet up with his former editor for nice dinners once in a while. Buddy. Please.

As a note, this side story isn't strictly canon to Raise wa Tanin ga Ii--it was published in 2015 as a self-contained story, two years before Raise wa Tanin ga Ii began publication. According to a tweet by the author, the broad strokes of what happened should be the same, but some finer details...

This is unsatisfying as a story, but the way it's written portrays pretty accurately what it's like to feel hurt by society pushing back against a personal identity. Is the dialogue kinda preachy? Yeah, because young teens tend to be like that. And sometimes there are people like Miki, who say...

@Thor The most plausible explanation I can think of is that demons are very long-lived, and "ages" like the Age of Myth are more like the Bubble Period than the Iron Age to them. But he's probably just the kind of idiot old-timer who expects the youth to be familiar with jokes that were popular...

Given his remark about it being more "convenient" if she misunderstood everything, it probably has something to do with whoever he perceives as competition. Maybe(probably) the prince who kicked her out is in love with her and won't give Liliana a second look?

"Yeah, so we analyzed your fighting style, and it says here you murder people a lot so we're giving you necromancy." This is the part where you take a good, long look at your life choices, dude.

Man, now she'll never be rid of him. Just look at that smitten face!

The lengths he goes to are very relatable. Being on the receiving end of that kind of genuinely honest gushing, from a person you love, must be incredible. @Jergens You'd think so, yeah, but the original title does specifically say "man." It's probably a term somebody in Japan made up--and...

@The_Look_Of_Disapproval, it wasn't stated in the chapter that she's super smart or anything. Kids with absent or worrywart parents often develop a habit of suppressing their own feelings and/or putting up a strong front, both of which make the kid appear mature for their age (and receive lots...

The author seems to have combined "poor people do all the work while the rich benefit from it" and "women don't get to make choices about their own lives and are evaluated on their value as an 'investment'" into one big "men do all the work but women hold all the power" superoppression. Which is...

@Serenata Pieced together from Wikipedia and Google searching: "amida sutra" is probably referring to one of the sutras taught by the Shin Buddhist sect(the largest sect of Buddhism in Japan, also known as True Pure Land Buddhism). They're long discourses attributed to the Buddha or one of his...

We're probably not supposed to be relating to Kirishima, but Yoshino's I'm-really-pissed-now face makes me swoon a little too.

@Miyako19 "No man would want a woman that stronger than him"? The human experience is very broad, you know. A truly homogeneous society is impossible; a society that places importance on homogeneity mostly breeds widespread social censure, so people with preferences outside of the understood...

Reading this felt a little like being bashed over the head with the author's viewpoint of "boobs!!! boobs!!!!" Did you have to cut their faces out of the frame that often? To the point of doing it in a panel where he's remarking on her (lack of) facial expressions? "Horny" and "infodump" is not...

@kinosseur Because they're legitimately not the same thing. It'd be like calling a kobold a goblin or vice versa.

"The way to the heart is through the stomach" and all that.
