My dude, there is a huge difference between Thing That There Are Signs Forbidding Due To Fear Of Escalating Lack Of Respect For Boundaries That Is Easy To Use As A Dramatic Beat In Fiction and "approaching women in public to ask them out." It's one thing to be annoyed that it's used so often as...

Established precedent.

The story started in their first year of high school, four years after the titular promise was made, which Chapter 1 establishes as basically the start of their friendship, for which Chapter 2 frames their typical proximity as being in neighboring classes the whole time. Tomo implicitly hadn't...

That'd be an enmusubi no kami, or god of matchmaking, I think.

Because AI is, in fact, a convenient alibi for cost-cutting layoffs. Why hire a consulting agency and blame it for the decision that its human actors made when they can offload it to an AI and say the revolutionary technology will only continue to improve and write off the losses as growing pains?

Ah, the Celebi shrine, of course.

Ichikawa Tooru, yeah.

Pretty sure forcing someone to bungee jump without a harness is murder in most legal systems.

"You guys" is colloquial in actual usage in a way that the vast majority of other nouns are not and most other usable nouns run afoul of the accusatory tilt direct address can pick up — see the issues of tone that arise from saying "you people." Omitting the pronoun in the phrase often reads...

The English language's lack of a non-dialectical second-person plural pronoun means it's this or "y'all," which has its own baggage.

It's an even cutesier version of the cutesy "-tan" honorific, which is a childish way of saying the more typical affectionate/diminutive "-chan" honorific. It comes from the fact that the katakana for "so" and "n" look very similar (ソ versus ン).

This is the end of the chapters that will be released in volume form in March, translated from the magazine release. The end of Volume 1 was Chapter 6.

Fruit print and animal print are often patterns for children's underwear. Adults typically wear single-color or simpler/more abstract patterns.

I haven't seen the raws, but at a guess, even in standard Japanese "iranai" means both "unnecessary" and "unwanted" — by way of parallel example, in the anime Kyousougiga there's a recurring event where the residents of a world without permanent death and destruction let go of things they don't...

I know I've read at least one, which is all it takes to not write off an outside chance.

Gonna put what discussion suggests may be an outside theory here and guess that Ciel is gonna get shipped with Josette, which I'm not sure which way I feel about while I'm failing to remember her age.

Question of pacing, I think. Knowing what's going to happen is different from knowing how many 10-20 page chapters it will take to have it all happen, since an outline and a storyboard are different levels of detailed planning.

Author's note saying they'd finished the full outline of the story to the end was back on Chapter 224, about two volumes ago, so I think it's safe to say this isn't an axe.

On the one hand I understand your point, on the other hand she's going around in a high school uniform in a country where high schoolers are subject to restrictions from their school about what they can do and where they can go while wearing their uniforms often enough that I've seen it...

When it's in a language where there are very different ways of saying goodbye to someone if you expect to see them again versus not, and saying the former to someone you just met indicates you're okay with seeing them again and/or they're welcome to come see you again, especially if this is the...
