    Oh, thank you for all the translations so far!

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou. - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Tsumiki Runs

    It's like she's from a different culture or something. Funny, that.

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou. - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Tsumiki Runs

    Well, that's hardly cheating, using genjin abilities was explicitly endorsed. Unless she extended her nails after the ball had touched her, but by the impact marks on the plate of the nails going in I think we can rule that out. Still, though, it would be kinda embarrassing compared to if she...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou. - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Tsumiki Runs

    I imagine it's similar to how in Chapter Two we saw werewolves with wildly varying levels of wolfishness, including asymmetrical features, like with Tsumiki's siblings' ears. Presumably the tengu norm is two wings, but some have only one. Maybe some have more than two wings? This would also...

    Medusa Dorei o Katta - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Ehhh, to nitpick, the part about the backstory is a bit dubious. You're unreservedly right there is no scholarly consensus on the origin of the Medusa myth, or the Gorgon myth, or the 'gorgon' imagery in general; it's unclear what order these developed in, either, if they weren't all together...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou. - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - Tsumiki Plays Baseball

    I think there's a lot more to a reverse harem than a boy-heavy cast. Like, er, that cast containing a harem. I can get people thinking there's ship tease with Senga, though I'd disagree, but that should be the reasoning for thinking it might be a reverse harem, not it just. Not being a harem for...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou. - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - Tsumiki Plays Baseball

    My read on this was that Tsumiki was uncomfortable when Senga was getting touchy and space-invading and guilt-tripping. And then he mentioned the pain of being hungry and she went Oh, is that all this is about? She doesn't mind being bitten, and is the type to brush things off easily, including...

    Oh this was super cute. I'm pleasantly surprised Sumigi seems to be joining The Group, and I really like her already. Fun dynamic. Best of luck to the author, hope they have a good recovery.

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    I think what it is is that the people who are so burned by their own expectations not being met, you aren't wrong to feel that way... but I think a lot of how it's put is evoking a response of "Oh. You are mismanaging your expectations." Like when you see a character's third appearance reveal...

    Medusa Dorei o Katta - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    Yeah, Medusa was turned into a monster by Athena in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Though if you go back far enough you'll find versions where Medusa was just born like that, Medusa was always an individual, and gorgon the kind.

    Medusa Dorei o Katta - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Yeah, reading silly manga with slavery in it that's portrayed in a silly idealized way is essentially harmless. You can read fiction with bad stuff in it, even where that bad stuff is good, and have it be fine. But I think it is worth pushing on the morality of fictional scenarios sometimes...

    Medusa Dorei o Katta - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    What he ought to do is take the portable stock-shackle things off, close his eyes, take off her blindfold, and tell her she can do the rest. Our boy here doesn't seem to want to rape her or enjoy seeing her like this. So he should aim for a show of trust, because anything less is going to be...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    Oh, I missed this part. Yes, love potions are bad. But saying love potions are date rape drugs makes it sound like date rape drugs do what love potions do. But they don't. They don't make you suddenly infatuated with a specific person or anyone around. They fuck with your head but they do it in...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    I'm sorry if I came off obtuse or rude and I appreciate the back-and-forth! I don't mean to drag you back in when you stepped out but I want to wrqp up my thoughts on this because I didn't really explicitly say what I wanted to say. So feel free to ignore this (as if you needed me to say that)...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    A date rape drug interferes with your ability to resist someone sexually assaulting you. It makes you drowsy or fall unconscious or easily suggestible. It also often makes it difficult to remember what happened during. Sorry, "Love potions are date rape drugs" annoys me because it distorts what...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    Right, but. Part of experiencing sexual attraction is that, involuntarily, some people are attractive to you because of how they physically are. If he smells so good that most people who experience sexual attraction to men crush on him, that's a real effect, but it is not brainwashing, because...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    Anywhosie, to jump off a thing, This is actually a pretty good illustration of why Genjin weren't immediately accepted and integrated. People would have reactions like this. It's not brainwashing. He just seems really attractive so people crush on him. What they do with that crushing is up to...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    I don't really see how this is character assassination? Already in chapter three we see his playboy act is to get blood, not romance—a girl slapped him for it. The jealousy of all the guys was established in chapter one. "Senga has no real friends" just kinda immediately falls out of that, no...

    Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Tsumiki and Senga

    I really don't think this was damage control? I think this was like. The plan. In the first place. Where's the jarring pivot? All this shit follows from what was set up before. The themes with Genjin having difficulties being accepted; the build-up of Senga being a dickish playboy-type who...
