@Babiapalah I want to make it clear up front that my response to you isn’t intended to be insulting or admonishing. There are different causes for depression. Some cases of depression can be tied to environmental issues, like not getting enough sleep, having a very unhealthy diet, or...

Are parts of this manga based off of Final Fantasy 14? In that, the main continent you are on has 4 great city-states. In this manga the you have four countries mentioned. The name of at least two of the countries seem linked to FF14 Gritonia=Gridania Limia=Limsa Lominsa Then there’s the...

@ degriech I saw it as less “I want a kid” and more like him realizing that her not wanting a kid is a sign of far deeper trauma/issues. Deciding not to have kids is perfectly fine. Deciding to not have kids because you hate yourself to the point that you are willing to kill yourself and the...

Personally, Suzu is the only one I could ship with the MC. I’m pretty sure any of the other girls would cause him to go crazy with the constant need for retorts.

In the future Walter unknowingly knocks up Daleth before disappearing in a journey to gain more power to become the head of the household. He reappears sporadically through the next decade or two, clashing with the Duke (who has in the meantime started up a sort of business where he takes care...

So, what are the chances that God lied and this is all a part of a long plan to hook these two up?

I feel like her reasoning for not wanting children is solid. Recognizing the risk that they might develop mental issues through genetics is important. And when you’re barely able to function yourself, having kids won’t make anything better. Particularly for women during pregnancy where hormones...

Oooooh, I’m looking forward to seeing how they react to a certain notable lalafell dying in Stormblood.

I wonder what the risk of inbreeding is between a grandparent and a non-incest-produced grandchild. For example, first cousins can marry and have children with little risk of genetic disorder. But then the resulting children can’t have children with THEIR first cousins, as the genetic...

@Liver It’s estimated that 1 in 5 adults in the United States suffer from a mental illness/disorder each year. The most generous estimate I’ve seen is that 50% of humanity will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. Honestly, it’s not THAT unusual to see multiple people who...

I imagine food made out of insects isn’t too bad. As long as it’s prepped right I probably wouldn’t be able to tell. The icky factor seems to come from imagining the bugs on the ground being the same ones I would eat. But it’s not like I go around grabbing free roaming chickens, run them under...

Before people go off on “cannibalism”, keep in mind that we can eat other monkeys fine as long as you take care to avoid certain parts.

Here’s the thing: If human vomit was pretty sterile, tasted sweet, had an unbelievably long shelf life, and also had healthy side effects from eating, then I’d say it’s an apt comparison.

Mirror Neurons are a part of the brain that activate when we perform an action as well as when we see that action performed by others. For example, when we see someone pick up a cup a part of our brain will activate as if we had been the one to do that action. It becomes much more important for...

So is the head doctor akin to something like Silver Chariot Requiem mixed with Bites The Dust? We see him at the Higishikata estate where he causes the wife to chop off her fingers and then nearly cause a fire. Then the doctor is at that conference in what seems to be the same time frame.

@Tamerlane It’s possible that she developed other disorders like depression and bipolar through neglect or abuse. I’d also be willing to bet that he is a high functioning autistic person, although undiagnosed and perhaps just barely on the spectrum. My guess is that he had bookmarked those...

It would be interesting to see a reversal of this same story by this same author. Or to see how a monster does in traveling through human lands. I get the feeling that the reason for the rather “uncivilized” manner that the monsters live is due in part that they don’t organize in the same way...

Hey, at least his fetish wasn’t seeing mosquito bites on a woman’s body. And maybe I should be worried that his fetish of having a woman fart in a bag so he can smell it WASN’T all that weird to me? It seems related to the idea of the fetishization of modesty and wanting to experience something...

The whole bit with the eye contact was interesting. I’ve got Tourette’s, so I can sympathize with the difficulty in keeping eye contact. It also annoys/frustrates me when I see people associate not making eye contact as a sign of autism, because there are cultures where keeping eye contact is...

Damn. Her description of attempting suicide and the thoughts/feelings she has at that moment are pretty close to what I’ve experienced myself. Also, I’m hesitant about there being a relationship established here. Severe depression isn’t as simple as merely needing friendship or love in order...
