I feel like they have their place – the problem being that place is quite small, and executing the topic skillfully is beyond most authors. Without the background worldbuilding and chemistry between the harem members, it comes across as hamfisted and/or nonsensical.

:glee: Two down, four more for a full squad!

That splash panel with the single eye is giving me flashbacks.

AKINATOR But yeh, beans. Also put in ice cream. With darn near the exact same pink-with-red-splotch packaging you'll find on strawberry ice cream out west. Expecting the sour-sweet of strawberry and getting the savory-sweet of red bean is a somewhat disappointing event.

Having played games with PK mechanics, this is pretty true to reality. PKers want the joy of stomping on people and inflicting pain on strangers – I don’t know if it makes them feel powerful, or if it’s just a flagrant indulgence of sadism, but every PK group I’ve wandered into has been pretty...

Visually impaired Can detect the group at a significant range Lunch was stolen by birds Calling it now, new character has tremorsense.

I usually see them referred as a "Westaboo" – I've also seen "Rawhide Kobayashi" for the cowboy-specific enthusiasts. I don't know that I'd call these slurs, though, unless you go out of your way to make them more than friendly teasing. Cultural export is the American stock'n'trade, even more...

Good lord, that cat has gotten fat. Blimp kitty.

@serendipityave I’m pinging you directly so you’ll see these, but the other folks in the comments have clarified “Jim”: Setsuna6871 says; ojou says; So, if you pass this along to your translators they can add it to their kit and make their great work even better (if just by a little bit.)

@BraveDude8 It's worse than that - a fair number of ISPs (including mine) have started routing their customer traffic through McAfee services. I was able to disable it in my router settings, but the fact remains that they turned it on without asking. Here's the infopage for the CenturyLink...

@thixcrib It looks like some of the early panels didn't make it into the upload, may want to check that out.

I feel ya, I barely squeezed through that class with a whopping two points to spare. Hardest class I took all throughout college. Congratulations on getting through!

So, Kaisermutt, what's your stance on aluminum/aluminium? If Webster can be trusted, then they've pretty much been around an equal length of time. Aluminum was the spelling chosen by the ACS in 1925, and IUPAC declared aluminium the international standard in 1990. And, of course, whenever I've...

Tamest rabbit in the world, right there. That ain’t no wild rabbit, that’s someone’s pet on the loose. Wild rabbit would’ve gashed that knight’s arms open and sprinted for the hills before letting itself be held like that. Good, proper holding form on the knight’s part, though – supporting the...

I've met a woman named Soda, actually. "Because I'm sweet and bubbly!" is the explanation she would give for the name. So it's not as absurd as one might think.

@Aile I believe the reference on page 12 is to the “Also, we’ll throw in X item ABSOLUTELY FREE!” line you’ll see in mail-order shopping programs – Maria is probably phrasing “Also, now you have the cute Maria with you for a year!” in such a way that sounds reminiscent of those pitches.

1 silver ≈ 5000 won 5000 won ≈ $4.21 USD One play = 2 silver ⇒ One play ≈ $8.42 USD Yeesh, that is a racket. I‘d wager the proprietor cranked up the prices on the spot when he smelled naive nobles with money to burn.

@Snaggy @magnetsmangadex It’s not a bug, it’s a feature: for a while there was a deluge of spammers who would make new accounts (or hijack inactive ones) and upload advertisements in place of chapters. The unavailable chapters are the solution: when a user uploads chapters for the first time...

@perywinkle, it appears you’ve accidentally titled this as chapter 47 when it’s actually chapter 48.
