The interesting part is that Mona is open about all of this, for the most part. Flowsthead's definition of manipulation, "trying to get something out of someone without revealing the reasons," doesn't really apply there. What she's not open about is the baby/pregnancy, her parents fighting a...

The manipulation isn't so much in Mona seeking out support but the way she does it, eg, asking Kurumi to stay present in the conversation with Naoi and then using Kurumi to verbally pressure Naoi, or wanting to be close friends with Kurumi while hiding it from Naoi. If Mona just wanted to hang...

He's been living in the wilderness fighting monsters of various heights. His entire thought process was likely "Enemy at ___ coordinates, throwing knife", even though a very short humanoid generally has a specific, different meaning in cities. He was going off his aura senses or whatever we...

Good catch. It's obviously the baron she's right behind. That is a detail I missed since I was focused on the dead child with a dagger in their head. He really couldn't have waited any longer. One of the great things about this series is the attention to detail in terms of perspective and...

I think they would like her stopped nonlethally and then saved from whomever put her up to it, though even attempting to take out a noble could be punishable by death. Regardless, humans feel it's different when you are the one throwing the knife. That's why the trolly problem is controversial.

Not always. Child soldiers do kill people, especially if they have lethal weapons (guns, bombs, etc or a poisoned dagger would count). It's not always possible to prevent this even with lethal force. In this case yes, I think he could have stopped her non-lethally. Disarming a probable weak...

Well, someone could simply have forced a child into acting as an assassin. That's happened plenty in our world, unfortunately, though it would be a bomb and not a knife or poison. If you look at the kid's expression, it's very serious but not panicked. They're also looking away from the baron...

Hey now, this isn't that kind of manga. /s They haven't even been toxic in a while. They just listen to each other and handle their problems in a mature way, or at least more mature than many real world adults. "Adult" in this manga is basically shorthand for "someone who no longer has the...

Naoi's BS senses are tingling... Okay, or that. Even if asking Kurumi to stay wasn't manipulative- wanting the supportive person with her is understandable- using Kurumi to outnumber and verbally pressure Naoi definitely is. That combined with the mom's terribad judgement makes avoiding the...

Maybe the idea with the silkworms that Slenderman was in a similar position to a blind, defenseless silk worm destined to be boiled. Stories allowed them to gain eyes with respect to social relationships and therefore know to defend themselves. It makes a lot of sense this way. It is a sort of...

The silkworm thing seems like there should be more to it, but I don't know what it would be either. Boiling some worms seems pretty low on the lists of humanity's crimes, anyway. Not that it isn't evil to kill defenseless babies so that you can use their leftovers for clothing, but it's not...

RIP Yuri Knight, the author ran out of time and you had to end the series as a single 28 year old purse rack. On greys, I will start by mentioning they aren't considered "premature" unless they're before 30: -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_greying_of_hair So 36 is well within when...

It seems like a good translation to me. You are expressing a culturally specific concept in another language, so leaving it untranslated wouldn't explain anything. "You shared too much given we aren't close enough" gets the point across well. When something is inappropriate or appropriate is...

Yeah, they were not sisters when Azuki knew Meguru, despite that Remu would have already been a living, doll sucking young girl. Meguru moved due to the marriage, which is why she disappeared suddenly. At one point she tells herself she has a sister now as a way to reassure herself that's she's...

Well, I heard someone was getting an axe, but whether Niji uses it on Azuki, Remu, or herself is up in the air.

Now that we know Slenderman has thought about taking on Takehashi's appearance, I wonder if he has resorted to psy ops by imitating Takehashi to turn Itou against her. It could be that the murder last chapter was done by Slenderman or someone else and Slenderman decided to pin it on Takehashi...

Slenderman was about to give Takehashi the ugliest possible skin suit he could find. Good job rejecting the trade. You would never really know if there was a hidden risk with it either. Itou explicitly finds Takehashi attractive, but I'm sure she would want to be friends with Takehashi...

Based on how this went so far, I am sort of expecting it will never be clarified. Instead, after an interlude, we'll get something like "It's done! We used it with the components to create it using alchemy and enchanting. Now that it's here, the armour has the following properties." Then we...

I think the only thing we can say with certainty is that the fox hide itself does not have armor regen, because they got rid of it and are still doing the enchantment. An ingredient doesn't have to have the end product's properties. For example, neither iron ore, coke, nor limestone have the...

The mirage fox content is ambiguous (confused even the translator), but... ""It's a material that presents all sorts of risks, but the rewards from it would be huge! With it, it would be possible to imbue your armour with an enchantment of self healing."" Rewards doesn't necessarily mean...
