Should be noted that Stalker and Otherside Picnic (mentioned above) both owe a debt to the 70s Russian sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Apropos of nothing, just thought I’d mention that the tankoubon has next to no steam.

I wonder if this is still one of Alpha Manga’s worst translations. I dropped it the third time I encountered the line “isn’t the wee rather wrong” in the first handful of chapters when it was still free to read, and there’s no way I’m reading it now you have to pay to access them.

Syosetu is the first result for the Japanese title in Google: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2407ha/ It’s also on Kakuyomu: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/16816927860256928882

This is based on a light novel, which is based on a web novel. That’s why it says “Format: Adaptation” on the manga page. The image used at the start on this chapter (and the others in fact) is the cover of the first novel volume. Nearly all of TO Books’ manga series are based on their Light...

The numbering by the author has been consistent, but has restarted with every arc. This is the 4th chapter of the 3rd arc.

It looks like the page has since been just.. deleted?

The joke is that she’s repeating the same thing over and over so the pages are just (nearly) identical. I assume the scanlators intended to copy and paste the all the text from one page to the other after cleaning it but forgot.

I doubt it’s intentionally blank, but the pages are almost identical.

This is is Chapter (arc) 3, Episode 3. The previous chapter uploaded a couple of months ago was Chapter 3, Episode 1 (currently listed on MD as “Chapter 25” under no volume). What happened to Chapter 3, Episode 2?

The players who completed a special in-game event (that started with dropping a dragon on the stage and decimating the playerbase, making winning almost as much luck as skill) were promised access to a “beta”. Accepting the terms for that is what landed him, and clearly others who made it...

Now I’ve got Amy Grant stuck in my head…

I’ve never kept anything in my back pocket, on account of not wanting to sit on stuff and the discomfort of doing so, that’s even when I even have one (not being a jeans person). “Bendgate” was largely blamed on back pockets as I recall though.

For years I was convinced it was “Candy Camera”.

MyAnimeList took all their character name spellings from the first volume of Yen Press’s release of the light novels, but their manga release (the third volume of which is out in just a week, with whole chapters and everything) has the same translator so is consistent. They used “Worgan”...

Two practical problems with listing character designers as artists are that a) people who can’t read the covers won’t know which of them actually drew the manga b) if original character designer is ever added as a separate field it will be a lot of work going through and separating them out...

What sort of jail time are we talking for killing a man.. and then abducting his kid?

Huh, you managed to find magazine raws. The issues with this series are long OOP and I only have four of them (including this one). Looks like there was no colour in the tankoubon so just as well.

Page 9: the shouting she’s remembering at the bottom left, “that’s definitely grim reaper” is not only bad grammar but it’s actually her unwanted moniker 赤の死神 or Red Reaper. Cut off in the third bubble is 化け物, or monster. Page 14: “it doesn’t flinch” - things don’t flinch, people do. And 招かれ人...
