A philosophy I can get behind.

Also, somehow I think some people are getting the stalker girl and the guy confused. Their two separate people.

Not surprised that she's obsessed with her. I already got that stalking feeling from her earlier. That said, I'm definitely going to be in this one for the long hall. I like the dynamic going on between the two MCs, and I honestly enjoy the situations and character stuff that happens when...

@shanoc5902 I really, really, like this series, but honestly, I do think that the misunderstandings damage the plot a lot. The sheer amount of them and how beneficial they tend to be are contrivances that damage the story. Overall, the story seems to be about Mia redeeming herself, yet many of...

@FredFriendly > "this is English and English norms should be used." This is actually a very common debate among translators. And as someone who understands a good deal of Japanese, and done my own translations (though I'm not fluent in JPN), I don't think that this should be the case at all...

@SuperOniichan Okay, if you're familiar with the interview's contents, then I don't need to keep trying to explain my own views on it really. I think I was just confused by the different categories you're using and how you mean them. I run into people trying to claim that yuri is only romantic a...

@SuperOniichan okay, I did misunderstand what you meant. My bad, reading your comment again after that clarification makes me realize that's what you meant. Though, I don't think the work has to be lesbian to be considered yuri. But if you're talking about series where there happen to be two...

@SuperOniichan ...okay, I don't know where you're getting this, but I really don't give a shit about whatever history may be behind it. My point is that this method of defining yuri is far too limiting, since the appeal of yuri goes far beyond romantic relationships. Calling anything not...

@SuperOniichan I mean, yuri is a pretty broad term. It doesn't just refer to romantic relationships. As long as the story focuses on a strong emotional relationship (best friends, bitter rivals, lovers, ect) between two girls, it's yuri. I get really annoyed when I see the Shoujo Ai tag, because...

I'm so happy the manga got to this. Now people get to see this series' true power. When I was reading the novels, this is the point where I went from moderately interested to very intrigued. Horror shit in a generic-seeming isekai, and yuri on top of that? Sign me up. Still need to get back to...

Appreciate the note at the end, though, I wanted to make something clear. I have a bit of an issue with calling the facts and statistics of her height as it relates to the real world "objectively tall." It's not that this phrasing is untrue, but it makes it seem like the elements of the story...

@owlties You say that, but I have a prediction. I think that those two will actually be the main couple by the end. The idol is going to think that they have something going on (because pig-tail girl wants to keep an eye on MC, classic misunderstanding), so she tries to nudge them together, and...

I was worried that the background behind this would be a cop out, but I'm glad that she was being pretty shitty. Of course, it's understandable exactly why she acted the way she did, but it doesn't change the effects that she had on others. It's not as bad as it could have been, or as I would...

I have a feeling this chapter involves a lot of heavy Japanese wordplay. The girl's interpretations of what he's saying don't make much sense in English, but they might make sense in Japanese depending on what the original JPN is.

I'm not usually a fan of Manga going into Chibi art-styles, and I'm glad most manga have stopped doing it. But there's something about this artist's work that makes me really enjoy it. Feels perfectly used here.

@bookbarker Kirakira names refer to strange names some parents come up with to make their children unique in some way. A very, very good example is "Nasa" from Tonikaku Cawaii. Basically, you know those really stupid names we see in English? Like "East West" or "American Magee"? Yeah, that's...

Is this the day of confessions? This is the second good confession I've seen posted today. Weird. Definitely not complaining though.

@sixfish11 I was about to say, this feels more and more like yuri with every passing chapter.

It's so hard to get a read on the sales guy. Like, he seems to be providing legit stuff, but the granny sure as hell doesn't like him. Interested in seeing where his stuff goes.

@Madcat6204 you're right, that's my bad. Though, I would criticize the LN for that as well. I think the series works better when the novels don't show her thoughts. Anyway, my other point does still stand though.
