@GaoMuscle I get your point, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I would just like to point out that this is a series where hypnotism actually works, curses may or may not be a real thing, one of our heroines has borderline superhuman strength, and another routinely creates chemical weapons...

@GaoMuscle Compared to the lengths some harem protagonists will go to, that's pretty mild, honestly. Consider all the harem protags who will literally risk bodily harm or possibly even death for girls they barely know, just because it's the "right thing to do" or because they "wanted to help"...

Completely shower-thinking here, but you know how the Mystery Research Club members all have some kind of gimmick? Hypnotism, Magic, Occult /Paranormal activity, and science? What if Daisuke's mystery was literally being a harem protag? Because he's not exceptionally nice, nor does he have any...

@slime_sleeper Thank you for the translation; hopefully this does get some attention on this series, because I quite enjoy it, and was disappointed to see it seemed to be dropped.

@Punbie I highly doubt I'm correct with this, since that description is kind of...unfortunately broad, but you wouldn't happen to be looking for It's Not Meguro's First Time, would you? I don't think it matches up exactly with what you were describing, but I'm assuming it's close enough.

@KiraEllion Don't get me wrong; I totally get your frustration. There's a lot about the nature of scanlation that's unsatisfactory, and the concept of "sniping" is definitely one of them. But the problem is, you really only have two options: Option A: Learn to read another language and do your...

@Magnolia Understandable if you did; I can't remember where so I could be mistaken, but I believe the author stated somewhere that, in the earliest drafts for this manga, Mameyama was supposed to be a guy, but it was changed before the first chapter was actually penned, though apparently, the...

@Question2 @AAA1 After reading some of the replies, I realize that I forgot an incredibly key sentence that made my entire post seem kinda misguided, so let me just add this--not to change any minds or anything, but hopefully just to add some context. My ultimate point was supposed to be this...

@Question2 As some other people here have said, a big motivation for making the MC appear to be the uncontested victim in almost any betrayal scenario is at least partially based in the MC being designed as a vessel for readers to project themselves onto. I could go into a longer discussion on...

@BlackGeneral I praise your swift conquest. The first time I remember thinking, "Huh, guess I have grown up a little" was when I made the conscious choice to turn down an internet argument, despite being halfway through typing my response. It was over whether or not you could correctly (in a...

I don't know that all of these land within your strike zone, and there's unfortunately a couple of titles that were the unfortunate (in my opinion) victims of Axe-kun, but here's my list: A Story about Confessing Before the End of the World: A one-shot that just barely fulfills the school life...

My first publicly readable fanfic was a .hack// story full of wish fulfillment self-inserts. My family had really lousy internet at the time (dial-up in a time where DSL was rapidly becoming commonplace). That series gave me a greatly over-inflated expectation of what playing an MMORPG was like...

Okay, I know Sakurai and Momma Uzaki have interacted a number of times already, and I'm probably dense for not assuming it was intentional, but: is it just me, or does Uzaki's mom seem to be into the idea at times? Because I know she already has the misunderstanding that Sakurai wants her, and...

@dojinshi To be fair, her feelings for the MC were never really established beyond attachment up to this point. He was her first real friend in a series (ostensibly) about making friends. So while I'm sure the title of the chapter is meant to imply some degree of romantic jealousy, there's also...

@alidan, I realize now what you're saying you wanted implemented, and while I definitely don't think it would hurt anything intentionally, I can sort of see it being abused, albeit in a very roundabout manner. Say someone marks a chapter as "WIP", to let people know its out in the wild--meaning...

@alidan Because this is a hot-button issue, and people can get a little...emotionally intense in their wording on the subject, I'm going to try to explain this as objectively as possible. The short answer is: No. The idea of claiming/reserving/owning a series or chapter for translation is not...

@SpookiLurkr It could be that I'm just not well-read enough to have encountered more of them, but I think one of the reasons that stories focused around imaginary friends can be somewhat difficult to find is because, in many cultures, the concept of an imaginary friend is considered inherently...

My take on it is pretty similar to what @Valkynaz said: "edge" is when the darkness of the content doesn't serve the narrative in any way. On a superficial level, "grimdark" and "edgy" are virtually indistinguishable, but from my point of view, the difference appears when the respective elements...

@AnacondaHL I personally use a wireless trackball mouse, and it's been perfect for reading manga from my bed when my back starts to hurt from being at my desk. (I'm a tall guy, and unfortunately, I don't have space for a taller desk, so I end up hunching a lot, but that's neither here nor there...

I'm just shocked to see Valve is still making video games. I know, it's a tired joke already: "Valve doesn't make games anymore, lol. Enjoy Artifact--oh, whoops." But I legitimately believed Valve kinda hung up their development hats, so this announcement caught me by surprise.
