"For myself I like when action scenes flow as one super long panel as you scroll down in webtoons" I concede that I don't like action comics, especially fighting ones. I'm more traditional in that if actions are not akin to combat sport, namely not people looking cool swinging things but...

Holy crap, from the author of Superior. When was their last released work?

Okamoto had been on a slide into madness since as far as Elfen Lied. The latter half went completely bonkers. Gokukoku no Brynhildr was exactly the same. At least this one off loaded its madness upfront. No set dressing.

I don't know why but Square Enix published a lot of good series with a small dedicated following. I can't remember their last major hit.

Can somebody explains to me what's better about "webcomic" format compares to the box traditional comic form that many of these comics even from Japan have turned to? I can understand the intention to adapt to smartphone constrain. However, I think smartphone screens are good and large enough...

Baseball form for golf? What is this? Happy Gilmore? It's true that generally, swing forms are similar. It's just about adjusting the point of impact.

I read this when I was still college. Finally everything was translated. What a work, subtle and educational. Fits right in with the old style shoujo.

Blonde dude is a real patriot, fought for his country to the death.

I thought the translation stopped because there's an official translation?

It's how the market operates. Another parallel is the "left over goods on shelf". If a shelf of a particular item only have a few items left, few people would buy them because they might think "something must be wrong with it that's why it's still on the shelf". This often happens with fruits...

Depicting Mary as a paranoid religious nut who's a pawn to the Spanish crown is rather reductive and archaic.

I know everyone is mad because they continued a light-hearted teenage romance story with drama, but I also find the mild deconstruction of the typical "kind harem protagonist" quite interesting.

I reckon this series will focus on the romance over historical event. It is still a shoujo at the end of the day.

Wasn't that last pitch out of the zone? He got a lucky call didn't he?

And much of the foundation of Elizabeth's reign started during that 5 years. Fiscal reform, naval investment and colonial efforts began under Mary.

Absolutely. While I don't think the story is anything spectacular, no offence to the writer, I think the artist had elevated the material.

Mix feelings so far. The premise is drama, but in drama you want build up and anticipation. Someone people criticise dramas as "slow and going no where", but that's precisely the selling point of drama. It stimulates the part of the brain that's activated when we encounter social tension. This...

This man is teasing us again with the brothers, he's probably not going to what he did in Touch. Right?

Are the characters in this a little too obvious? I like that all of them have serious flaws and seeing them making mistakes or overcoming their flaws is great, and I look forward to see how the drama unfolds, but the manga is a little too on the nose for me. Making the characters subtle would be...

This feels like a superior Akame ga Kill, edginess done better.
