Hahahaha! Pump and dump on the popular combs.

Shinobu is cute in the anime, but the episodes were very short, and were followed by a live-action filler in which the featured dish was eaten after being made at a selected restaurant. The anime seems to have been made with the cooperation of a tourism organization.

It has a mild taste and tender texture. Not strongly flavored like liver. My mother used to make it, and it did take a long simmer. Peeling the skin was really gross. We ate it as cold cuts dipped in soy sauce with a bit of vinegar.

Sapphires fluoresce under long UV light, 'if there is not enough iron to quench the fluorescence'. It may be possible to have a darkened room and shine blue or UV light on the sand to find the sapphires by the light they emit. It may also be possible to drop individual grains of sand through a...

pg 29, ch 31 it's disturbing to me to see the plastic clip on his backpack.

"This modern Japanese school uniform really stands out" Obtains clothing from the "mysterious assassin catalog" "Aah! Much better!" Kind of like the idea of the ninja wearing the typical outfit. The get up screams "I am a NINJA! FEAR ME!" (An assassin should wear nondescript clothing of some...

Rule number 4: Be sure you get an advance payment up front placed in an escrow account with the Assassin's Guild. He doesn't have to kill anyone if there's no profit.

So glass crafters on the island are not allowed to leave. That is similar to Murano Island in Venice, where Venetian glass was so prized that the inhabitants of the island were prohibited from leaving.

He needs to introduce them to toothpaste and tooth brushes. They are eating a lot of sweet and soft food suddenly, and so their teeth will soon be developing cavities.

Nice. Now she needs to develop a high-pressure cutter for cutting stone. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) might be a good cleanser, since it can foam up, although it's hard on the skin and dangerous on the eyes.

That's how some people end up as criminals. A half-assed "plan" that's supposed to get you set for life, but no plan to get away. Police have sometimes interrupted a burglary because of a silent alarm, and found the burglar stuffing a sack with cash from the safe, even though the police cars...

Ozone is plenty toxic. She has a way to make someone suffer from chest pains and damaged lungs, if enough ozone is given to them. I suppose it would take a high concentration and prolonged exposure to kill a person, but it can make them unable to chase after her.

I know that the shoes are new, but it's still disquieting to see him wearing them indoors, especially wearing them while on the bed!

This whole "little girl's first errand" is just too adorable. I cannot read the entire issue in one go, because my brain is turning to mush

I've wondered what would happen to all the stuff in an Item Box when the practitioner dies. I figured that maybe all of the contents would either disappear between dimensions, or maybe the collapse of the space would force them to suddenly appear at once. That said, seeing the entire content of...

Harpies need to carry sirens to give a distinctive sound while doing a dive bombing run. It worked for the German Stuka as psychological warfare. Whenever soldiers heard that siren, now considered the natural sound of a diving aircraft, they would not know who would be the target, as everyone...

Carriage suspension is an issue that comes up a lot in Isekai stories. It reminds me of this from Mark Twain's "Roughing-It" https://www.online-literature.com/twain/roughing-it/4/

That head shot must have been a total mystery, too. There is no way to have seen the projectile coming in, since they're accustomed to seeing incoming arrows that are subsonic. They wouldn't even have heard the report of the rifle until a little after the hit. The impression would have been of...

Funding from "Family, Relatives, or Friends" is prohibited. That sounds like immediate family, extended family, or friends, but does not preclude a corporate sponsorship in which earning one's daily bread is not needed, with an obligation to fulfill some services after graduation. Even the...

What's with those thick sandwiches? How does all the filling material stay put? If I tried eating that, it would be spilling onto my lap.
