The guy who eats souls should know when a meal is on the table - it's hard to imagine a more reliable source for determining when somebody's dead. Alina looked at Jade's body and said it was still warm - she investigated it, and concluded he was dead. We have two witnesses saying he was dead...

God damn. How can this story be so damn good. Just, god damn man. I love it. I'm in love.

Where's the link you fukkin' nerd.

Theology is a good word for it. It feels like it takes a lot of the concepts behind animism and shintoism specifically and modernizes them in a way that feels genuinely believable. As opposed to the rote repetition of stories. Some serious thought went into it. Do you read about this stuff for...

Sheer grit, determination, perseverance. Even when the sun had quit, they kept going. We can learn something from that.

Try Touge Oni if you haven't already, I think you'd love it. It's one of smartest, best written, most mythologically rich stories on the dex. If you're as familiar with Japanese mythology as it sounds like, I think you'll get much more from it than me. I only recently learned that most of the...

I just want to thank you for writing this up. This is the sort of cultural context that completely goes over my head and having informed individuals provide useful commentary for stuff like this is super cool, and it really helps me better appreciate everything going on with the story. You're...

Nick is a true model of resourcefulness and quick thinking. He realized that complaining wouldn't get him anywhere and made a solution.

Sure - and maybe Jade should've actually plead that case instead of simply insisting that she join his party, which is all he ever did. It was never about why she should join him, or why taking up the mantle of adventurer was right. It's the fact that his reasoning and actions were entirely...

They were undone by their own greed. Truly this is the profound and insightful message I have come to expect from Nick and Lever, the modern day Aesop's Fables.

There being romance is fine. I read loads of romance. The problem is cheap fakeouts that destroy any sense of tension and stymie character growth. Moreover, Jade is obnoxious as a character and never respected her boundaries. I'll give it a chance for a few more chapters, but I wouldn't drop...

After thinking on it more, I wonder if they made a second gen of invaders based on western constellations, and the new exec is Gemini. Two people becoming a constellation and all that.

Didn't see that one coming, but in hindsight, wherever one of those slug monsters appeared, they were present in one form or another.

The pharaoh was the son of Osiris (or was it Ra, idk), so presumably the son of Nick and Lever.

Guess he's a real motherfucker, huh.

"Good enough for me!" See how quick he is to find contentment with his situation? What a man.

Menehera-kun doesn't burst into flames when he's with Seri, though. Besides, falling in love is a prerequisite for becoming a vampire. Since all vampires are in direct physical contact with their love when they're turned, making more kin would be difficult to say the least. I think Kiku fell in...

God damnit mr. author. NO BALLS.

Ah, here we see the author brilliantly retelling the myth of Osiris. Though, rather than being murdered and cut into pieces, Lever was a victim of accidental dismemberment. Nick will no doubt take on the role of Isis and reassemble his friend, and Lever will become even more powerful. This...
