It's not just manga. It's all media: television, western comics, film, book covers, music videos, everything.

Ginger, the slave-trader. Yeah, that tracks. It makes a weird kind of sense for the one selling people to not technically be a person themselves.

The MC has a way of ending his political rivals, both at home and abroad, in rather convoluted and terrifying ways. It almost makes me wonder how much of this empress being nice to him is because she's a legitimately nice person who likes him (though this is contradicted by her own sister saying...

Maxwell House, eh? So this latest invention isn't the only thing that this family has made that both sucks and blows.

The Prince is indeed a parody. It's absolutely dripping with sarcasm. Unfortunately Poe's Law applies even to literary classics, so far too many people miss the point and think that it's an actual treatise on how to run a country. Evidence for this reading is in how he glosses over republics...

I wonder if the MC is going to sentence these two to banishment and death by monster, i.e. sending them to the front lines against the demons, rather than giving them an easy out like he did to that big kitty.

Revolutions tend to be cyclical. They often come around full circle, then the cycle repeats. That's why they're called revolutions.

That's a terrible deal, for both sides. Not only is 20% of the annual taxes from a small, poor, poorly managed, and starving kingdom like the Principality of Amidala probably a lot less than what the Kingdom of Elfen Lied spent on the invasion and civil war (not to mention the loss of lives) but...

I rather expected the MC to give in on the demand to turn Van back over, but only just that city. In exchange his kingdom would be given the much more lucrative mining areas, and either a corridor to connect them, or for Van to end up as an enclave within the newly embiggened kingdom. Combine...

Demon-beasts taste like chicken, lol. That princess didn't actually say that they didn't try to eat some of the intelligent humanoid demon-kin. Hmm, I wonder what Vampire tastes like? It probably tastes something like diablerie.

Nothing says 'peaceful negotiations' like bringing 60,000 soldiers specifically equipped to counter your opponents and then some.

Does the 'outer shell' tank hits after armour provides some protection, or before, with armour only being a last-ditch way to save your behind? The former makes a lot more sense from a game design perspective, but the latter is implied by the MC only wearing a handful of small plates over what...

Page 15, paraphrasing Shampoo from Ranma ½: "Maybe Pervert-Elf like girl-type Mummy better than boy-type Mummy. Tell truth now." Excelis: "I do not! And who are you calling Pervert-Elf?" Shampoo: "Calling you."

That fanart of Mimia better not awaken any Mummy fetish in me... dammit.

Only the lords get to vote, so any notion that this is in any way democratic just flew away in a Vampire's message bag.

To paraphrase The Exorcist: "The power of breast compels you! The power of breast compels you!"

If Excelis is really all that worried about her dignity as an Elf, much less trying to seduce someone, she might first want to run a comb through that rat's nest on her head she calls her hair. It looks like she just woke up after passing out on the floor of a bar, and not a good bar, either...

The theme of this chapter is making decisions. The lords have to choose between the Elf who would likely do a good job as governor, and a complete choad who seems to spend most of his time trying to make life harder for a handful of teenagers. Likewise, the MC has to choose between the cute...

Other than Elves and Humans, the other races in this setting are akin to Pseudo-Undead, a monster type that pretty much only exists in first edition AD&D. These are several types of humanoids that have a weird adaptation to look, act, and smell exactly like certain types of Undead, except that...

Mimia: "There's a saying among us Mummies that anyone who takes a Mummy as their assistant is a kind person." Ha ha, no there isn't. Literally no one has ever uttered that sentence before. That's right up there with saying, "As the ancient scrolls command: do not shave your duck."
