    Vinland Saga - Ch. 216 - Thousand Year Voyage Part 25

    You have no enemies. There's nobody in the world you're supposed to hurt.

    Mahoutsukai no Yome - Ch. 106

    She summoned a door, so I'm kind of wondering if she's planning on inviting herself along to school, personally. Glad to be getting back to school at last, been too little focus on Chise and her friend group lately and I'm eager to get back to that. Plus I expect we'll see Veronica start to...

    Vinland Saga - Ch. 215 - Thousand Year Voyage Part 24

    Yeah a thing I really like about this angle is that it's not about Thorfinn or Thors being strong in the sense of "they can win fights without needing to kill" or "they can survive more arrow wounds than the average person" - it's about them having the strength to bear the stress of the...

    Mahoutsukai no Yome - Ch. 105

    It's interesting in general who it lunges at and who it ignores. Pounces on Jasmine, Zoe, Chise, and Philomela (that might be the most interesting one to me - is it sensing traces of the Old One's curse on Mela? Or does Mela have any innate magic of her own?), mostly ignores Violet, Rian, and...

    Vinland Saga - Ch. 215 - Thousand Year Voyage Part 24

    And like I said earlier, I think it's important for us to remember that Einar himself knows (or at least knew) better when not under the immediate stress of battle. He knows that he "has a choice" when it comes to fighting for the colony. He thinks(thought) fighting is the right choice, but he...

    Sure, it's an understandable trauma response. But it would be healthier in the long-term for him as the person experiencing it and especially for us as readers to understand that at the end of the day, it's just not true - not in the way that he wants it to be, anyway.

    Yeah I mean the question has always been how close are we going to hew to history though, lol, Yukimura has been perfectly happy to diverge from the records where it suits him.

    Yeah, in previous chapters Einar himself was - before the chaos and terror of battle set in - fully aware that he's actively choosing war here, not being immutably forced into it. Einar could just leave. Even if the rest of the colonists couldn't be convinced, Einar has the power to choose for...

    Not that there had been much doubt for a while, but - seems pretty clear by now that the colony is going to fail. I don't see how either side will find the stomach for sustained diplomacy after the casualties they've taken in this battle, and as long as Thorfinn draws breath, he will do whatever...

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Ch. 102 - Rain before seven, fine before eleven. (Part 2)

    Can you even pay to read them? I can read Japanese well enough to just buy the JP volume releases so it's not a huge problem for me, and I wouldn't pay for AI translation even if I could, but it's kind of a moot point because I haven't found any obvious option to buy chapters on Comic Growl even...

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Ch. 102 - Rain before seven, fine before eleven. (Part 2)

    Setting aside all the (justified!) complaints about Comic Growl's methods It's interesting to me that we're really hammering on this notion that Elias isn't really a Mage - he's a fae who's simply playing the role. I suspect this is going to circle back as evidence to justify his anxieties that...

    Einar clinging to Arnheid's bust while committing himself to a course of action she would absolutely slap his shit over for even considering is some bleak shit man lol Anyway people have already talked about a lot of the tactical advantages and disadvantages at play here but here's one I think...

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Ch. 100

    Gonna be curious to see what Rian's mom (...we haven't met her at all yet, right?) has to say to Rian and Philomela. This is probably too melodramatic a guess - especially for this early in the arc - but it would be funny if she's trying to force them into an arranged marriage. I thought it was...

    The Ancient Magus' Bride - Ch. 99

    I don't think she was considering, like, Replacing Elias with What's-His-Face (though Elias will absolutely assume that's what it amounts to and have a lot of angst about it). I do think she was considering the idea of studying under him for a while. Think about the sequence of events leading up...
