Osiris? The Egyptian god that was chopped up into pieces and his wife had to search all over the world for them to put him back together, only she never found his penis? I'd be careful what you wish for.

Incest is an "add-on" crime. Hardly anyone gets charged with just incest - usually it's rape or "something-or-other with a minor" with incest added to justify a harsher sentence. Its primary purpose is to punish child molesters. Problem is, non-molesting incest happens a lot more than people...

You really learn to appreciate the ADA when you visit Japan. I never saw any doors a 180cm tall person would hit their head on, but I have seen doors at business so narrow that a regular fat person couldn't fit through them and stairs so steep and shallow that they were closer to ladders.

The proposal misunderstanding is an exaggeration of the Japanese tendency to never disagree with someone. It's a real thing, but I suspect in the real world you'd speak up for a misunderstanding this big. In this world, only nobles have family names. Regular people just have a given name...

Yep, it was pretty messed up. Really, though, it was very obviously a situation where the mangaka painted themselves into a corner and added on at the end. Given Belldandy's personality, the guilt would have been chewing at her constantly, especially as she saw the university-aged people...

Well, Skuld was a real goddess (along with Verðandi and Urðr, aka Belldandy and Urd) in the Norse pantheon. Iris is a messenger goddess from Greek mythology. Japanese manga often just grabs random deities from other pantheons and throws them into manga regardless of if it makes any sense or not.

I like the idea, but the MC apparently doesn't understand what an evil villain is. He's trying to be evil for the sake of being evil, where a real evil villain is just someone who is willing to use evil methods to achieve their goals. He's thinking more like a teenage boy with severe chunni...

Kento's mom has got it goin' on.

The "Ever Increasing Wives" part of the title doesn't seem very fitting. Sure, he's got three women that are into him (four if you count Rin, but I think Rin is just affectionate by nature), but it's nothing like most harem isekai where they add a new girl or two every volume. I'm not...

To each their own, I guess. I've never been a big fan of nighties in real life (although they work well in manga, as seen in this chapter), but I'll be the first to admit it's a matter of taste.

In real life, actual Playboy Bunny suits are pretty effective for what they're designed for: accentuating a curvy body shape. Say what you like, but Playboy knows how to make a woman look attractive. I have no idea why they're so popular in Japan, given that "curvy body shape" in Japan is less...

Oh wow, a DRAW SHOT! You know, the first thing you learn when you decide you actually want to learn to play pool instead of just using it for something to do while you drink. Draw shots are easy and you can learn to use the technique consistently in less than an hour of practice. Meanwhile...

Revenge is pointless. She's garbage, not worth it. Oh, but she's just a child! So what? Where do you think garbage adults come from? She's not going to magically turn into a decent person when she turns 18. Will she change? Maybe. But that doesn't mean Nack has any obligation to...

It's not for me - I couldn't make it past chapter 6. And normally I wouldn't comment on a manga that's just not my thing, but with this one I feel I gotta. I loved my grandparents, but if my grandfather pulled me aside and told me I'd have to marry some girl in order to inherit his company...

Jade really needs someone to pull him to the side and point out that there's tons of nice women out there. He doesn't have to keep chasing after one that hates everything in the universe including (especially) him. To quote Sven from the webcomic Questionable Content - I see flashing lights...

Sheesh, someone should have told this guy that it's a bad idea to stick your dick in the crazy. The world's full of attractive women, why go for the one with the severe attitude problem?

That's not a manga thing, that's a writing thing. You see it in all kinds of media other than manga. Something happens that the reader is unfamiliar with (in this case, the guy's skill). The writer needs to somehow provide that information to the reader. There's several ways of doing it...

Her fingering herself next to him in bed is pretty bizarre, yeah. Him being quiet about it is not. I mean, what's he going to say? If she was someone he was trying to romance or an established girlfriend, then the obvious answer is "Need a hand there?" But she's an old friend in a bind that...

Some schools make soap in chemistry class. That actually tracks since he only seems to know how to make it from baking soda (which is safe for students to handle) and not potash lye (which is not).

Dude's been living a sedentary lifestyle. You have to build up basic cardiovascular fitness before you can effectively fight. Sure, the sword's important, but it's probably better to focus on getting him in shape so that he can practice the sword for more than three minutes without getting...
