    Ad Astra - Scipio and Hannibal - Vol. 8 Ch. 51 - A Contest of Probabilities

    @DexerMang I too have trouble "believing" it, even when the logic is laid out and practical demonstrations are made. But since the evidence indicates it is true, then the problem lies with our human intuition. It never evolved to deal with things like sub-atomic physics, the real world...

    Getenrou

    I've been reading his stories for years, but kept putting Getenrou off until now. No regrets. I have to say, though, it's better than I expected. (And Ishiguro Masakazu's standards are pretty high already.)

    Getenrou - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Ario

    This chapter was a series of w.t.f. moments... culminating in an unexpected ending. A masterful ending, to be sure. It's just that, after all the comedic events in the previous chapters, this was a sharp left turn into genuine tragedy. Somewhat unusual for Ishiguro-sensei. I was lulled into...

    Getenrou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Fairy Murder

    Officer Sakuraba Saeko and Arashiyama Hotori should team up for the lulz.

    How Do We Relationship? - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    Yay, happy to see this new chapter! Been waiting patiently. I quite like how the the story of this relationship is unfolding. Even with all the teething pains, it feels organic.

    High Position - Vol. 5 Ch. 39 - Saigo Hanashi "Closing Words"

    A decent ending to a roller coaster of a manga. Thanks for the translation. :-) You have good taste.

    High Position - Vol. 5 Ch. 36 - Kanashimiyo Konnichiwa "Sorrowful Greetings"

    I almost forgot, and so came back to comment... That alternate future where he's with Satsuki seems hazy, like it's hugely improbable. This trope is sometimes found in fantasy and sci-fi. It is well-utilized here. EDIT: I'm referring to a timeline in which they become a couple right from high...

    High Position - Vol. 5 Ch. 37 - Shishunki "Puberty"

    At least some sensible behaviour. Good he went to find out about Satsuki's old place.

    High Position - Vol. 5 Ch. 33 - Tsubasa no Oreta Angel "Angel with Broken Wings"

    What a weird resolution. I'm one of those who thought it strained belief.

    High Position - Vol. 4 Ch. 25 - Destiny

    Our MC is on turbo-mode for his personality type, methinks. That is, he's "currently" living up to his potential, but his potential was limited anyway. Cheer up, buddy, maybe if you get a third chance, you can focus on becoming Prime Minister, making polygamy legal, and wrangling both girls!

    High Position - Vol. 3 Ch. 17 - Sweet Memories

    Page 10: "And you never know when you go from a friend to a lover~" "T,that's true~~" sweat droplets emoji Can't help but be reminded of how it's used in messaging today, and in this case it adds an inadvertent layer of humour LOL! (Yeah, I know these are "plewds".)

    A change for the better? Yes please!

    High Position - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Koukou Yotarou Aika "Elergy for a Lying High Schooler"

    "There's no fool like an old fool." In all of his 46 years the MC doesn't seem to have learned very much. Well... I guess it is possible in real life, if, for instance, you consistently choose the easiest path before you.

    High Position - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Smoke

    Yeah, the TL notes are fun to read. Guy's got a way with words. On another note, I've been thinking about VR for years now, and his mentions of the Oculus Rift in the notes of this chapter and the previous have served to remind me of that.

    Dungeon Meshi - Vol. 8 Ch. 53 - On the 1st Level

    These elves seem to have perspective, the way they go about their work. Probably their long lifespans are the reason for this -- you'll see a lot in a few hundred years.

    Pandora - Ch. 3 - Under the Mantle

    @blueoddog A quick search threw up this: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. Who knows... https://mangadex.org/title/1880/gekkan-shoujo-nozaki-kun

    MangaDex Suggested Features: Megathread

    When I click the "Completed" option in the "Follow" drop-down list of a Manga entry page, it marks all chapters as read. This includes all chapters of all languages, so besides -- for example -- English, chapters in other languages such as French, Spanish and Turkish will also be marked. This...
