Japanese has a syllabic order, for which "Oyama" and "Ouka" are neighbors. In practical terms, if the family names start with the same sound the only difference from alphabetical order is the specific ordering; the kana table is effectively divided first by consonant and then by vowels attached...

Unless the translation has taken extensive liberties with the topic of the sentence, Mahiro is literally thinking that he feels a sense of rapport with Yuuya for being in a situation that he was in with his entire current friend group at one point or another, including Asahi. If it helps...

I mean, we see her a couple times in this chapter; Mifuyu is one of Haruka's triplet little sisters (see Chapter 42). It's entirely possible this isn't her first errand.

A magnificent Jelly Roll in this chapter. Previous chapter she asked Jelly to send Martina back.

Miko gear.

I mean, there's plenty of isekai stories where the "reincarnation" is a character with an established life in another world suddenly gaining/regaining memories from another world, and even a subset of those stories where memories of the new world are lost in the patch, at which point which life...

Either it's figurative (a shrine of no particular renown, i.e. a "no-name" shrine, if you will) or "Kamunagi" is an etymological relative of "Kannagi" and it's the equivalent of e.g. calling the local clinic "Doc's."

Justin Wong catching strays for nearly a decade.

The fact that he was asking her to be in a committed relationship means even if he gets the terminology wrong he knows he's not getting NTR'd. He's not even getting BSS'd, because that would require the rejection to come with her hooking up with someone else who didn't look her way until after...

Could also be that his reaction sounded like seeing her wear it looked so bad it convinced him it was a bad idea.

While I love a good roast of the decontextualized Natsume Soseki meme as much as the next guy, there's being direct with your emotions and there's inhabiting a linguistic framework where the reason direct statements of emotion tend to be the province of children is because it comes with an...

A cursory web search turns up the notable information that purchasing a privately-owned vehicle requires you to have a specific parking space for it within 2km of your place of residence — no curbside parking and you need to have proof of residence and the right/permission to use the space...

No, he was copying the skills from Fine, but they're weapon skills that need the appropriate weapons to work and the only way Fine was getting them to work "empty-handed" was with the rings. Before that he was using gear to copy Fine's movements and at the point of this handoff (ha) Fine is no...

Without looking at the raws and just going off of pattern recognition and knowledge of the language? Because it's a rote phrase to use for someone who just got off work — the phrase's core component is literally the word for being tired/exhausted/weary, and if they weren't starting the...

It's been months since I was current and I may have forgotten the pacing of the earlier stretches, but was Akutsu-san ever the bottom of the romcom progress barrel?

They can get drunk off of vibes and atmosphere, too! In vino veritas is a big trope for culture like Japan's and legal requirements demand G-rated alternatives to get the same comedic/dramatic beats.

Bottom right is Spinner Bait, which the cover tells me is a completed suspense manga the author of Odd Taxi wrote years ago that's getting a live-action drama adaptation in June. Google tells me it's a crime story connected to a high school fishing club. Top left is an occult horror series...

Supplementary note: it's an all-caps romaji rendering of a rougher/slurred rendition of 強い/つよい (tsuyoi), which is just the word for "strong."

Most species with horns and wings do not give birth to young with those features already developed enough to be "proper" for exactly this reason. Birthing hips are considered a desirable feature because they make multiple goes at producing viable progeny more likely, but evolution historically...
