    Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Asuka - Vol. 14 Ch. 62 - Finally, smile

    I think the message has more been that there is always a next villain or "villain", not just "leftovers". While there may be old survivors who feed into new ones too, there will also always be new people who want to use power in ways others won't agree with. The world is really just getting...

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Vol. 14 Ch. 69 - A small leak will sink a great ship. IV

    Makes me think of the start of the wonderful movie "Kedi" where a guy is talking about a mother cat, and says something about how she's normally so lazy and easy going, but threaten her kittens and you'll see another side to her. Good college!

    Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Asuka - Vol. 14 Ch. 62 - Finally, smile

    Hah, what a ride. While it didn't quite gel perfectly, and the ending felt a tad rushed, it was still an interesting spin on the genre. And the end works better than I expected: it is in fact weird that Asuka would have the "Rapture" name, we did speculate how Francine could come back to life...

    Dungeon Meshi - Vol. 11 Ch. 71.1 - Daydream Hour 4

    Great stories, and some of the images really tug at the heart too given what we know has happened. Most of all though it remains stunning how much background effort goes into the incredible art and character variety. Really makes DM such a magic series.

    The Duke of Death and His Black Maid - Vol. 10 Ch. 141.5 - Omake

    Reading this with my two cats curling up next to me, it's definitely relaxing sometimes just watching how well they can relax.

    Shadows House - Vol. 4 Ch. 50.5 - Volume 4 Extras

    Super cool behind the scenes, nice to understand how Soumatou is fusing modern computer tech and drawing to make a fictional world that still feels so self-consistent. And I've always loved worked that really make use of light and shadow.

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Vol. 11 Ch. 55.5 - Fragments V: Spring Cleaning

    Thanks for filling in this side story! Very warming, and while it's still a ways from spring here the days are certainly getting longer. @flameshadowwolf Isn't silver cleaning the chimney? I've got both a fireplace and a wood stove, and it's important to do regularly particularly in a bare vs...

    Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 5 Ch. 39 - Commence Capture Strategy

    @Sancturil I don't think that's quite right. Frieren was certainly major heavy firepower as well as plenty of utility, but that's always the role of mages in parties. Everyone else in the party was good and key, she needs a vanguard, there's things only a priest can do, and from what we've seen...

    Shokei Shoujo no Ikiru Michi - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Taking The First Step

    Have you actually been reading this story? Who is this "they" you're talking about? Because it's not church or its executioners from what we can see, it's other powers doing it in secret, and the church kills them for it too when it finds out and is a lot more angry at them then the innocent...

    Shokei Shoujo no Ikiru Michi - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Taking The First Step

    Well, saying something is evil says nothing about whether every other choice is more evil. Sometimes there just aren't any good choices. Most people like to believe there is some great choice in any given situation if only they knew it, and it's certainly worth trying to plan ahead such that...

    Shokei Shoujo no Ikiru Michi - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Taking The First Step

    @skilodracus Nah, when you're dealing with actual literal for real end-of-the-entire-world scenarios, what's justified and "extreme" kind of shifts a bit. For a society like that it doesn't get more extreme than turning all the land of the planet to salt so everything dies. That kind of risk to...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 79 - Rebels

    @Robot_Ditto I didn't get the impression that one was purposefully starving herself, but rather that she was already on the verge of death and had lost all appetite, and the other was "making up for it" as they always did out of habit. The brainwashing means they're not really treated as human...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 80 - Everyday Life

    Have been rereading, the attention to little details really makes it worth it. So glad it's gotten discovered a bit more. Back in chapter 43 when Kate landed with Emilyko following their canal boat ride, we saw a few things. The big obvious one of course was that Kate had good enough control to...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 79 - Rebels

    Kate merely put the soot into the air, which was subtle and available ahead of time. Then it was up to Maryrose to actually try to shape it in real time once they jumped. Also remember, they may well have died. We don't know if it actually worked, it was still a real risk. But they thought they...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 80 - Everyday Life

    Intense, feels like this really completes the opening arc. While there are more mysteries to reveal and big struggles to come, the "child finding the basic truth of their world" bit has been done really well. Great callback to the very beginning when Emilyko went through the same experience, but...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 79 - Rebels

    Wonderful reveal, layers within layers and rather than some silly simplistic sides everyone has their own agendas, abilities and limitations. If Anthony's stance is a mixture of being very careful about revealing too much to anyone easily and sheer antagonism as a Human towards Shadows, all of...

    Shadows House (Official Colored) - Vol. 7 Ch. 78 - Answer of the Two

    Wonder if she had enough saved up soot below to somehow save them, but either way it'd be a huge risk and this was still a hell of a way to go out. She simultaneously managed to make Edward look bad and disrupt his influence to some degree, reveal some secrets of his power, and then escape with...

    Creepy Cat - Vol. 4 Ch. 391 - Everyone's Desire

    Oof, not sure if this is the end or there will be some kind of turnaround, but sometimes after raising a wild eldritch horror of fluffy friendship the time does come where it must return to its own home dimension. But maybe Flora's connection to Creepy will give her another path... @cromat You...

    Ragna Crimson - Vol. 8 Ch. 40 - 9 Seconds Worth of Bloodshed

    Heck yeah, fun to have a manga that just unapologetically goes to 11 all the time without any pretense about it.
