The way this mangaka does starfish and cosmic, alien beings is truly the most disturbing, awe-inspiring, and and genuinely alien I have seen in a long time. I want more. Like Made in Abyss or that cancelled Boy and Demon Mother fighting Giant Eye God Monster (Mao Mao Yuusha Yuusha?). Anyhow...

Lol, yeah. It's also great that it's He-Man, who is basically a poster for all NatSoc and classical human beauty movements and an idealized male form (a compliment here!) being used to advertise something hideous. It'd be more authentic if he posted an actual transsexual saying this or one of...

Hmm, I didn't calculate the (nigh) immortality angle...so, that might actually save this!

Adding to this, it makes Babylys a unique place, as it seems to have a more even sex-ratio. It makes sense as an elite institution. What is left unsaid is this creates an interesting dynamic that really makes for an inhuman society. As far as the human world is concerned, there are usually...

This whole arc feels...weird and lame. He's being an aggressive and paranoid asshole, and the weird-eyed girl is this annoying "I am here to ship the main characters" type, but without any of the normal comedy associated with the role. It's just the author jacking off to their own idea.

To add to this, Putin at least could have been a respectable, based Warlord, but the complete mishandling of the conflict (like, absolute Russian failures compared to the epic victory that was promised), and then the exposure of the absolutely oligarchic, kleptocratic nature of the Russian...

You are political. Find a manga that espouses your views and translate it. The Xeno point would be tolerable, but it would fall flat if there were Xenomorphs or some horrific species. Who knows, right? For the record, I actually like the hick-dialect you selected for the crazy-eyed girl.

I don't like trash vicariously expressing its views through He-Man at the end of my manga. If the manga is political, it will speak politics.

Yes, this is politics. Also what you define as NatSoc is also politics.

Why should she? He's a legal adult by pre-2010 Japanese standards.

Sir, I'm detecting a racism. It is a Japanese manga because of sexualized 10-14 year-old girls.

Having read the Shima-kun series, I think it's funny that Japanese culture has westernized enough now that they can even have the concept of a woman being a "cuck fetish" queen, when the traditional culture already had polygamy and instead it was bitches being viciously jealous and competitive...

In fairness, with a hot enough girl, guys who are desperate also are of the same mindset.

They are out there! You just have to pay attention, and then regret it, immediately.

Actually, this is a good point as well. If the women were shown as being typical of the "ugly poor" we definitely would not empathize (or would really struggle to). Franken-Fran's author occasionally shows a "grotesque" example of a woman (an ugly, poor, old one), and it's remarkable the effect...

Tell that to mangakas doing behind-the-veil dropping metacommentray on their own series.

This was brilliant and beautiful. It accurately captures the reality of life for men in these circumstances. It even expresses the unique element of male camaraderie when they band together for a project (the mangaka and Old Man Yani). Really, the comedy and joy of the manga is cute useless...

I think 126mg was actually the first sketch the artist did that led to this series. That's what it feels like, at least.

"A distinct impossibility, never has there been such thing." No kidding though, a friend's sister got pregnant and she 180'd her position on kids after having a niece (now she wants one). While it can seem petty and silly at times (actually, it can be lethal if they decide to poison someone...

I am, thank you. Gainfully employed, too (history and social sciences). Major Asian Studies fan and traveler. Can't recommend it enough.
