    Isekai ni Teni Shitara Yama no Naka datta. Handou de Tsuyosa yori mo Kaitekisa o Erabimashita - Ch. 31

    The lack of a reaction seems reasonable, to some extent, the fact that it isn't discussed at all—merely breezed past as if him being summoned were already part of established facts among the group, with not even a cursory "oh, I see, that explains a lot" from anyone—implies to me that something...

    Isekai ni Teni Shitara Yama no Naka datta. Handou de Tsuyosa yori mo Kaitekisa o Erabimashita - Ch. 28

    Just gonna say, for once I am pleased that the protagonist is getting more and more incautious about hiding his powers while still ostensibly trying to hide them. For him, it shows that he's starting to open up and trust people. I'm really happy for him.

    Assassin de Aru Ore no Sutetasu ga Yuusha Yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga - Ch. 33 - Brute Dungeon 3

    Okay, they foreshadowed he was still alive, sure, but isn't it a bit... wasteful of narrative resources to just have him come back to save them from the monster of the week?

    Assassin de Aru Ore no Sutetasu ga Yuusha Yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga - Vol. 4 Ch. 18 - Elf Territory (6)

    Not necessarily. I mean, if the author wants it to, sure, but it'd make at least as much sense if she couldn't. Bringing a fresh corpse 'back to life' is entirely scientifically plausible after a few minutes even IRL (in fact we do so regularly, though we've begun to adjust our definitions of...

    Assassin de Aru Ore no Sutetasu ga Yuusha Yori mo Akiraka ni Tsuyoi Nodaga - Vol. 3 Ch. 16.2 - Elf Territory (4) - Part 2

    Updating my complaint now that I'm re-reading this some years later: The writing really seems to want to have it both ways with this antagonist in a way it simply fails to actually achieve; framing her both as selfish and sympathetically pathetic, supported by everyone and also abandoned, etc...

    Isekai Shachuuhaku Monogatari - Outrunner PHEV

    This lands so hard in the hit-and-miss category. With just the first chapter: World-building and thoughts around having a battery-hybrid vehicle in another world: Excellent. The author really wanting you to remember the girl that MC is crushing on is underage, and wants to be clear the MC feels...

    Kanzen Kaihi Healer no Kiseki - Ch. 62 - Contract Termination

    I understand the fact that amicable relations with the king are hypothetically strategically sound, and that killing him might start a bloodbath. But I feel like... IDK. Like they're doing the country dirty by leaving this man in charge, honestly. They can deal with him just fine, so far, but...

    Kanzen Kaihi Healer no Kiseki - Vol. 10 Ch. 47 - Tito-sama and the Castle

    Oh dear. I have no issues as to the demon lord being a girl, but I'm vaguely terrified as to what the author will do to their personality the moment this is 'revealed'. A real person's personality doesn't change the moment you learn you were mistaken about their gender. In books, on the other...

    Kanzen Kaihi Healer no Kiseki - Vol. 9 Ch. 45 - An Encounter with Pino's Mentor

    Hang on, no, like, catharsis aside, shouldn't you tell the memories-of-your-father what happened in this situation in case there's anything important he needs to tell you that real-dad never got the chance to pass on? >.>; Not like "I love you" stuff, which would be sweet and all, but like...

    Kanzen Kaihi Healer no Kiseki - Vol. 6 Ch. 28 - Ren's Decision

    Yeah, it's pretty jarring when everything's so low-key and relaxed but then it's all like "MEN NEED THEIR MANLY ISOLATION TIME WHEN IN PAIN" just like what is this even I don't understand XD To be fair, the person saying it is implied to be a character raised by Yakuza so it seems plausible...

    The Beloved Daughter of a Crime Family Was Reincarnated as the Daughter of a Gangster in an Otome Game: Highest-Ranking Villain, That Doting Is Unnec…

    I want to be clear. I usually have no issue with the "I want to live a slow life" -> "Actually I will get invovled with everything" shtick. That much just forms the basis of a humdrum unwilling or reluctant hero. Someone who'd like to not be involved, but, when faced with trouble, is drawn in...

    The Beloved Daughter of a Crime Family Was Reincarnated as the Daughter of a Gangster in an Otome Game: Highest-Ranking Villain, That Doting Is Unnec…

    ...The heck? They just threw all of her motives out the window in rapid succession for that scene. She A) ignores the first person asking to be a friend, B) chases after her kidnapper that she's trying to avoid (because she's worried about him?) to C) get involved in the sort of underworld...

    Magical Realm Shopkeeper - Ch. 1

    "No one would hire a 29 year old because they're... so old...." I have to wonder whether the author is really realllly young, whether the narrative pressure to make the protagonist younger won out over the story the author was trying to tell making any sense, or whether there's any truth to...

    "Bit of a jerk" seems like an awfully mild way to say "horrific abuser to people who are not me" >.>;

    Sadly, we aren't yet at the point where general seinen/shounen manga can just casually have gay protagonists unexpectedly. ...Now, I'm not so sure about the artist. We're just churning out decent bears every chapter here now... >.>

    "I will simply take these two burly men; the himbo and the furry for me please" ...Honestly if not for the fact that reader demographics preclude the possibility, I would be wondering if MC was gay and into bears right now. "I Have Reincarnated as the Womanizing Villain of the Romance Game, But...

    Boku wa Imasugu Zense no Kioku wo Sutetai. - Akogare no Inaka wa Jingai Makyou deshita - Ch. 1

    I'm glad someone else was thinking it too XD Like either is fine but you can't just call a pair of twins Sora and Riku like that without having our minds go there, right?? >.>;; I may very likely end up agreeing with this by the end, but for now it seems to be serving a purpose to me...

    A Rather Large Couple - Oneshot

    Speaking as a tall person who lives among tall people, sadly, it doesn't really work like the ending here. When you're both huge (particularly if they're as huge as they're drawn, rather than the numeric heights attributed to them), both of you will throw out your back trying to carry the other...

    Gabai - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Mom came!

    Certainly historically accurate for her to say 'men don't cry' in this situation but honestly feels kind of horrible even with the joke softening it. Like, FFS, if being all-but-abandoned by your surviving parent (however justified the reasons may or may not be) isn't the time to cry, are you...
