I’m joking about how this manga has completely changed from its original premise and tone.

If these two love birds ever try to kiss it’s going to result in significant dentistry and podiatry bills.

Some random supernatural fever dream thing. Couldn’t make any sense out of it.

Dude’s so distracted he’s plugging in RCA cables.

There used to be this cute rom-com manga called “Mizuki-senpai’s Love Fortune Telling.” I miss it. Shame the mangaka dropped it for another project.

”Oshi” is a pretty decent candidate for a loan word here. It has specific cultural connotations not carried by the closest English equivalent but the rough meaning can be inferred from context, and it is highly relevant to the story. Judicious use of loan words can be a form of emphasis and is...

“It’s okay because I like him” is such a perfectly innocent and destructive assumption.

Love that poker face.

The aggressive pacing is an issue and doesn’t leave room for the gravity of things to set in. Splurting blood for a panel or two isn’t enough to correctly establish the stakes of being discovered. For the manhwa, they could have inserted a visual motif like a magical hourglass over him suddenly...

It’s implied he saved everyone by defeating the succubus. The pacing here is really fast so only the story relevant send off with the kid is setup and included. This looks like one of those speedrun adaptations, so lots of things are going to be between the lines.

Clearly, if he stands out too much it will bring dishonour to his ninja clan. People really need to learn how to read between the lines. His implicit lock picking skills and cunning disguise should have tipped you off.

Meth: Not even once.

I would prefer my crazy/hot lover to use magic to save me before my execution, but points for willingness to follow him literally wherever. Solid 8/10.

My problem with the cliche is the cowardly lampshading. Calling out your stupid cliche only draws attention to it. If he had just jumped immediately to some insane conclusion like “I’m the Hero, I can just slow my metabolism to a crawl and hide underwater from 30 minutes,” complete with some...

As Abraham Lincoln famously said, “Never trust a theatre kid.”

Do other superpowers exist in this world, or is extra information encoded into the taste of sweat that only certain people are sensitive enough to detect? I need more worldbuilding!

Comedy is a set of overlapping frames of reference. Frame A is an innocent child. Frame B is a worldly woman. Overlapping the two creates comedy. Of course, execution matters. Sloppy execution (e.g. draw child, make her into lingerie, …, profit!) makes for lame comedy. Good execution would be...

How much of a dog is Komugi like with other people? How worried are her parents? Does she fit in among her peers? Is reincarnation such a common thing that they’ve also accepted it? Inukai got over it pretty quickly, so maybe. So many worldbuilding questions…

Sase is trouble, man. Like gasoline on a fire.

“I’ll just stop the rain.” ”THAT WAS AN OPTION?”
