    Mushibami Hime - Ch. 9 - I'm Here

    Yeah, unfortunately the translating team dropped it very early on, which is a shame, because the later half was super good imo (I read it in mandarin). I've seen the news of K manga finally adding it to the catalogue so it should be picked up again in the near future...

    Mushibami Hime - Ch. 9 - I'm Here

    Even having read this author's previous work, "Ship of Theseus" (which I STRONGLY recommend) and knowing his writing style and habits, I really can't seem to predict what would happen, but I know it's just going to be shocking when the revelation comes. This mangaka loves to throw in a red...

    Mushibami Hime - Ch. 6 - She Looked Different

    For more context on Page 21, Fake!Miu wrote down extremely intimate and personal details of Ai, like her bank balance, how long she takes to put on her makeup, her parents jobs, her favourite authors, what her parents call her and how she refers to them, her three measurements (bust/waist/hips...

    Innocent Rouge - Vol. 6 Ch. 41 - The Meaning of Fear

    Oh yeah I completely agree, but just focused more so on her possible train of thoughts (not sure if your reaction to my comment meant you disagreed?). As I mentioned she's a victim of her upbringing and social norms of the time, which were perpetrated by men. Her "betrayal" comes off as more...

    Innocent Rouge - Vol. 6 Ch. 41 - The Meaning of Fear

    Delphine is a victim of her upbringing and the social norms of the time, the very same way first generation Sanson's wife, Marguerite was. With Olivier having handed her the key to the unlock the belt before he went to jail, there's no certainty or assurance that her future would have looked any...

    Innocent - Vol. 4 Ch. 34 - The Scaffold's Love

    Conceptually speaking Marie is supposed to represent the very definition of modernism and rebellion and should be analysed as such. I understand people might be put off by her sociopathy, and I do agree, she's a terrible person, , Sakamoto intended for her to be. She's diabolical, unapologetic...

    Mushibami Hime - Ch. 5 - She's Changed

    I don't know if others have read this author's previous work "Ship of Theseus", but it also had quite a few red herrings in the beginning of the first few chapters (although, given the plot of the manga it was deliberately crafted that way, so I can't say if Mushibami hime will be the same or...

    Mushibami Hime - Ch. 4 - We Can't Live Together

    Thank you for the translation! This is getting interesting. I can kind of see that Ai's obsession into writing/finishing the novel might lead to some sort of toxic co-dependency between the two and put her in grave danger, there's also the fact that she currently has a few plastic buttons inside...

    Boy's Abyss - Vol. 5 Ch. 46 - Secret Meeting

    It seems that Gen has always been an onlooker (or 'bystander') while growing up. Witnessing Reiji's mother and Reiji himself being abused by her husband but not being able to do anything as a child can be deeply affecting. He feels partly at fault, partly responsible for his father's actions...

    Beware the Villainess! - Vol. 2 Ch. 59

    Also, I feel like people shouldn't jump so quick to call Nine a toxic and manipulative asshole who deserves to be cancelled.. His behaviour definitely is unacceptable now, and he needs to learn to respect Melissa's freedom and personal boundaries, that's what character developments are for. I've...

    Beware the Villainess! - Vol. 2 Ch. 59

    @emily7x4 Jack, Jake, Ian and Mel were the 'original MLs', but in this story, Nine is the official ML.

    Boy's Abyss - Vol. 5 Ch. 45 - The Holy Mother From That City

    Almost didn't recognise Gen here lol. I do feel bad for Reiji's mother. She's been through a lot and she obviously loves Reiji a lot, but it's clear that she's pretty mentally unstable as well. I hope she and Reiji can get the help they deserve along with Nagi and Chako.

    Noragami - Vol. 24 Ch. 93 - Objective

    Does no one think that P5 is weird? Why is one of the Heaven's asking Shiigun to elaborate on why Ebisu and the others aren't there if they were the ones who didn't allow them to come in the first place? Also, I personally don't think that Yukine is the only shinki affected by the God's...

    Noragami - Vol. 24 Ch. 92.2 - When dawn comes...

    It was previously mentioned that Takemikazuchi was considered one of the 'rebel' group (those who participated in the covenant)... I wonder if Amaterasu will decide to kill them in order to truly 'cleanse' Heaven? Might be a good place to also bring back side characters like Kiun who is...

    Boy's Abyss - Vol. 5 Ch. 43 - Criminal

    @Tastytoaster I personally don't think this feels forced, the author's story telling style is to show and not actually tell, and from previous chapters we can see the subtle sexism/misogyny from Chako's dad too. It felt like he probably didn't like Reiji that much, there could have been more...

    Boy's Abyss - Vol. 5 Ch. 42 - Bubble

    Misogyny from the teachers at it's best... Reiji's "privacy is at stake" so he gets let off since he's motivated in his studies, but Chako gets humiliated in front of two adults as if it's her fault, and possibly her parents later on too? It takes two to tango lmao.... Their priority should have...

    Boy's Abyss - Vol. 5 Ch. 41 - Drowned Body

    Just some thoughts because I really don't know at this point: Could Esemori might have had a brief relationship with Reiji's mother when they were younger? Judging from the panel where she was drenched and wearing a uniform, it's pretty obvious that she was the girl who attempted a lovers...

    Horimiya - Vol. 15 Ch. 118.5 - Extras

    Sakura and Yanagi deserve each other. I wish Yuki would stop being so patronizing towards her.

    Horimiya - Vol. 10 Ch. 68 - Sepia

    Pretty ironic that Sengoku's dad thinks having a girlfriend at 18 would "get in the way of his studies" when he had him at 20 lol

    Horimiya - Vol. 9 Ch. 59 - The Reason Spring Comes

    Ishikawa is right, Kouno is wasted on him. She deserves more than both of these two.
