To claim that his family's deterioration is his "fault" is incredibly unfair and emotionally dishonest. He was traumatized and never received the support he needed to recover from that. Moreover, a family isn't defined by a single member's actions. All four of them had a role to play in the...

Is she finally going to become a real character with her own interests and opinions or is she just going to use her newfound voice to fawn over him all of the time?

A wall that high is going to mess with their farming in several ways, particularly by limiting the amount of sunlight their crops receive. More importantly, the single opening in the front will channel water into the village at higher velocities and leave them no means of escape. Everyone could...

Is any culture as obsessed with meat as Japan? Which isn't the same as asking if any country eats more meat per person. (Not counting sea life consumption, Japan barely even makes into the top 100 most meat-consuming societies.) But in terms of Japanese cultural output, I don't think a love of...

It's no accident that Hiro is juxtaposed with a flashback panel of Papa Mastermind himself.

The remainder of this chapter is where I stopped following the raws. It's just too bleak for me.

I think I said this with the previous installment, but I'm impressed that this is now really leaning into the idea that they're evil. They aren't simply misunderstood, although they might be that also. They're genuinely and unambiguously evil. This is a bit too bleak for me, so I don't really...

I can't say I expected a reference to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. It happened before many of the people reading this were even alive, let alone old enough to remember it.

For a story with so many chapters, it still feels like this plot barely got going. It dragged for so long that the story only progressed about half as far as it probably could have in that many pages.

...And if they hadn't reconnected, they wouldn't have gone on that trip and died.

This setting is truly strange.

The whole "I don't recognize you just because you're wearing a wig” schtick is so dopey. But at least we're getting a tiny bit of progress on the overarching plot before this series ends.

@Darketower Except she wasn't actually trying to kill him at all. What was she thinking right before she attacked? She was hoping to find his training lacking so that she could get free room and board. She even referred to it as a spar. How would she have expected to get her lodging comped if...

It's not that complicated for people to establish an extremely basic vocabulary relatively quickly even when they start from drastically different languages. It's a key element of cultural exchange. How do you think Europeans and the Indigenous populations of the Americas learned to communicate...

Not that this wasn't darkly funny, because it totally was, but it's still pretty unethical for him to do this stuff before they fully realize what they're agreeing to experience. She clearly had no idea what was going to happen and still didn't even really understand as it was happening. Suppose...

Heck, even comments like mine talking about how long people have been doing "first" have been common for longer than most people reading this have been alive.

"First" is probably the most enduring online meme there is. (If you can even consider it a meme rather than a simple human instinct to mark any unblemished territory.) It's been common practice - including the ironic commentary of those replying to "first" - for much longer than most people...

The translation on this chapter was more than a little unclear.

Anyone attacking Jahy is not only missing the point of this series, they're also missing the fact that it's literally her job to make Dou evil.

Massive, otherworldly beings at scale with the whole Earth, in the tradition of Fullmetal Alchemist and The End of Evangelion.
