@alexsdu What @mahtan said.

@blob Ehhh, that's oddly realistic. I mean, you sound just like one of those conversations after a group of friends make some decision in a meandering way and someone says "Wait, how did we end up doing this?" I'm thinking she needs to back out of that business arrangement; it's never worth...

@Kaarme Well, in many ways the setting seems more getting into sort of Jane Austen, Napoleonic era style than medieval. By that time your nobility still have tons of servants, but not men at arms--the military is more nationalized. So it's not too implausible.

@Nimroth it surprises me too. I'm not used to Tono having such staying power and developing characters so deeply and stuff. Not complaining though.

That. was. awesome! Just a few pages and it made me all teary-eyed.

The post of bodyguard in this is odd. It's like, he's her bodyguard but he seems to spend relatively little time actually, you know, guarding her body. It seems to be at least partly ceremonial . . . but I mean, all the vibes are that this is a big rich kingdom with badass intrigue, where it...

This kinda loses the surprise second time around. Well, I mean I was suspicious the first time, but you know.

She should be careful what she wishes for. "Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of...

So they're making . . . haggis?

It's about as simple as a shoujo one-shot can get--no real complications or nuthin. Cute though. Feels old.

I read the first moderate number of chapters and they were fun but it got pretty samey. Still, I had enough affection for it to come back when I saw the end was up. Thanks to the scanlators for seeing it through!

@Korath Well, yes. Robots are slaves. That's kind of the point of making robots. Check all the industrial robots making our cars--I'm pretty sure none of them get minimum wage or two weeks paid vacation. Admittedly, as soon as you start looking at sentient robots that's kind of evil.

@Mangareader 52% of arrests or convictions is not the same as 52% of crimes . . . statistics are interesting things (well no they're boring--I guess I mean they're less simple and obvious than they seem). You can find one to support almost anything; IMO they start to become meaningful when...

Like the way he just flat out admitted he was jealous.

@Akxera Actually, I just want to watch Alice being assaulted by cat.

This is actually oddly true to Asimov. He invented the Three Laws . . . but then half his robot stories were about edge cases where the laws didn't work so good. Like the telepathic robot who felt compelled to tell everyone what they wanted to hear, until its lies caught up with it and...

So I'm wondering if this kid is actually the thief Lutin just pretending to be this descendant nobody's ever met. (and, @friendly yes, the name cracks me up too. Then there's the phantom thief Lapin in the cute-girls manga Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?)

I don't know any more. Is she going to end up with any of them?

This is definitely the fluffiest, sweetest thing I've ever read that contained the phrase "His parents? I killed them."

I too mourn the bookstores.
