    Shinju no Nectar - Ch. 89 - The Masters of Invention

    This further confirms that Koenig is Germany's counterpart (as if there was any doubt) and suggests that Dhala will be France's. Honestly, Kai should think of moving to Garandoa when all is said and done. The entire country appreciates him and considers him one of them, they're some of the few...

    Shinju no Nectar - Ch. 88 - Inherited Signs

    I must admit that, until now, I assumed Dhala to be a combination of Germany + France + other continental European inspirations, basically a hodgepodge of references to England's traditional rivals. But the reveal of Koenig (obviously the Not!Germany of the setting) has thrown a wrench in that...

    Yuki no Niizuma wa Boku to Tokeaitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 7

    I'm surprised to see a bonafide yuri couple for an ecchi series that is not yuri-centric. The usual tropes I'd expect would be the lone lesbian pervert fondling other women, or some fooling around while they wait for the "right man", or just bait for titillation. But nope, one of them even asked...

    Shinju no Nectar - Ch. 85 - The Successors

    I'm happy too. Not!Lawrence of Not!Arabia has been one of the most interesting villains so far, definitely more interesting than Regan or Velanto. With him on board, we can expect a battle of diplomacy and wits.

    Mother's Contract Marriage - Vol. 1 Ch. 21

    I knew I had seen him before! Thanks. At this point, I think it could go either way. Suspicious friend or creepy rival with a personal fascination.

    Sincerely: I Became a Duke's Maid - Vol. 2 Ch. 67

    "Dude, you knew her for like 2 days. Stop." I love the commentary in each chapter 😁

    Kare to Kanojo no Sentaku - Vol. 2 Ch. 6 - part 1

    Even if it's just one half, thanks for the translation! I missed this series. I like how they highlighted that "rare" diseases are only rare from a statistical point of view. 1 in 1000 people may look tiny, but in absolute numbers it means thousands of affected people in just one city. It makes...

    Shinju no Nectar - Ch. 50 - The Nomads

    @lastKANAshimi I'd say there's even more of a twist if we see Dhala as the fantasy counterpart of Germany: in WWI, Germany was allies with Turkey, whereas England sided with the Arab rebels and sent Lawrence of Arabia to help them. Here, Not!England is allies with Not!Turkey, while Not!Germany...

    Yukibana no Tora - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

    This was a great discovery! As a fan of the Sengoku Jidai history, this was a treat. Looking forward to more. It's also interesting to read this after reading Yokoyama Mitsuteru's Date Masamune and Takeda Shingen.

    Jinrouki Winvurga - Vol. 9 Ch. 46 - Echoes of Temptation

    "I wonder why the Dominators would put a limiter on such an amazing ability when it can even be used to steal the very will to live from your enemies...?" Yeah, there's no way this isn't foreshadowing of Midori's eventual downfall. Look, when the army of genocidal rapist slavers (who have...

    Youkai Shoujo - Monsuga - Vol. 14 Ch. 141 - A Punishing Memorial...!!

    Thanks for the translation! I get the feeling that, with more time, this could have been the basis for a whole arc surrounding Yukimura. Probably a way to "redeem" the character after his assholish presentation in the first G-Cup arc (which I nevertheless hold as the highest point in the...

    Ah... and Mm... Are All She Says - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Buzz

    @youdontknowwho Yeah, I liked that. Each medium can offer interesting insights, but what you should look for is different in each one. For anonymous readers, the amount of opinions is more important than what the opinions actually say. The readers that are engaged for good will bother to send...

    The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - Vol. 6 Ch. 48 - Tsundere Lost

    @Teasday That's a good observation. It also applies to decision-making and regret. No matter how good it seems, don't make a drastic decision while under the influence of a "magical juice". And if people ask you to sober up before committing to it, please listen.

    Shinju no Nectar - Vol. 12 Ch. 49 - The Empire of Beasts

    @Mordenheim Better not to think too much about it. It's evident that Baruara was based on Constantinople/Istanbul, from its layout to its history, including its position as an important trade center, but also combined with an Arabian aesthetic, desert environment and city dwellers vs nomads...

    Youkai Shoujo - Monsuga - Vol. 14 Ch. 140 - I Will Surpass You...!!

    @Jiel Thanks for pointing it out. I saw the claw arm being broken and also assumed both had been hit, but that's not what the manga is really showing. Very clever. Reminds me of the time he learned to use the Rokka-arm more effectively in his first fight against GCup. Fitting he'd do the same...

    Mato Seihei no Slave - Vol. 7 Ch. 53 - Slave's Sky Dance

    @TitanAnteus Your observation clarified the nagging feeling I was having with that line. On the one hand, that line may open a door to a backstory with lots of potential, and it justifies why she is suddenly showing interest in the male MC beyond a low-effort "even lesbians love the MC." On the...

    Jinrouki Winvurga - Vol. 9 Ch. 45 - A Heart Growing Buds Through the Snow

    I admit that Snow x Zane isn't a ship I thought possible. Color me intrigued by this development. The new Dominator team seems to be calmer and more civil, perhaps to contrast them with Midori's goons. Had they been the usual psychotic rapists, it would be harder to paint Midori as in the wrong.

    Yakyuu de Sensou suru Isekai de Choukoukoukyuu Ace ga Jakushou Kokka o Sukuu Youdesu - Ch. 7

    So Ati is Nina's daughter, huh. Although it's a nice way to expand the worldbuilding and showcase different team dynamics, I don't think I've ever seen them interact as mother and duaghter until now.

    Wait, she made a whole sutra in chocolate kanji? Respect.
