@Spookie Heh.

@Serenata Well, we don't know if that's accurate, but it's a pretty decent speculation.

Little tip: If you're gonna make soup that way, stick in some butter or olive oil or something. Broth needs fat. Little tiny globules of oil carry the flavour from the bouillon and whatever, so you get a better fake broth effect if you put a bit of fat in.

Sophomore blues I guess. Sometimes you pour everything into the first creative work, whether it's manga or a music album or whatever, and then the second just doesn't have the oomph. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of stuff that isn't popular which is way better than a lot of stuff that is...

I guess they aren't gonna have to make too many peasants into samurai, after all, eh?

@LordoftheKeep Probably, but this is the kind of thing I don't mind seeing again.

@Lhmac I wouldn't go that far. I've spent a good deal of time reading manga with no drama whatsoever, just a sea of fluff. An extreme case might be Gakuen Babysitters, which doesn't even have any romance, just a bunch of little kids and the people who take care of them, older siblings and...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN Well, her numbers clearly change based on circumstances. We don't know why she's got a time limit, so we don't know why things that happen have been changing her number, but it's definitely been happening. If it was all absolute her number would just be going down by one...

@Turkeyjerkey I'm at least three quarters right. You can speak cladistically all you want--I won't disagree, apes are one-ish branch of a group that is mostly what we call monkeys. But that has little to do with meanings of words, which can describe whatever distinctions we want. The English...

The comments are making my head spin. Partly because of the ridiculously moralistic tone, like the commenters are a bunch of fundie preachers or something. But partly because of the bizarre level of cultural difference in just 35 years. This is a 1985 manga--a time when the widespread...

@Turkeyjerkey The linguistics are a bit slippery, but basically no, they aren't. The term "ape" is normally used for a particular group of tailless hominoids which are closely related to but distinct from the critters referred to by the word "monkeys". An orangutan is an ape, not a monkey. A...

There must be something I'm missing in the exposition. I'm left thinking so, that nasty "little girl"'s job is to keep those kids wrapped up in the curse, dying to power it? I don't see the big problem then. Whack her, let the kids go, curse loses its power, problem solved.

Whoa, bizarre--the captions keep calling that dude a monkey when he's clearly an ape. Mind = blown.

Good lord, they'll starve! @Enderzone I can't disagree, but at the same time I'm sticking around for some girls kissing.

@justforthelulz Well, he'd be with her and if her number suddenly flickered to zero he'd know to pull her back from the curb.

It occurs to me this guy could be major valuable in hospitals. The negative case is almost more important: "No, this one looks bad but I don't see a number. They're gonna live!" Triage godsend.

Well, one thing I do like about the ending is the way it answers the "But can we be happily immortal together for a long time" question with a rather sweet, "Well, those two have been, so why not us?" In the end while I fundamentally like the idea of this better than Prunus Girl--I'm a yuri fan...

I love seeing a chapter of this. I just relax and let the adorable wash over me.

I, personally, agree with the claim "The best milk is chocolate milk" . . . just, without subtext. I finished a beer mug full a few minutes ago. As to skin colour, all shades can be cute.

Ahhhhh, I could go for some Eton Mess.
