    Nonderi Kubo wa Genjitsu no Koi ga Shiritai - Ch. 9

    Now I want to see more student councils in manga like this one. Lazy, powerless, and misusing their funds to buy snacks. Some fresh air after countless examples of absurdly powerful student councils.

    Dame Ningen no Aishikata - Vol. 6 Ch. 29 - The Girl Before She Met the Loser

    Agreed. In real life, relationships rarely go down the drain because of one dramatic issue, but at the same time it's very difficult to portray the "death of by thousand cuts" in fiction. But this mangaka did it in the span of less than two chapters. I liked the visual choices, how the author...

    TS Mahou Shoujo ♥ Mazoka - Ch. 6

    A boy who transforms into a (magical) girl. A magical girl who transforms into a futa. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Jokes aside, the chapter strongly suggests that our protagonist's powers came from that self-titled "Messenger of Love". Can't help but wonder if more magical...

    Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi - Ch. 126 - La Luz De Los Siete Colores

    El rey demonio es, como siempre, el mejor jefe que uno pudiera desear. Eso sí, espero que Uchimura empiece a ver a Ulmander con ojos más románticos después de lo que ha pasado.

    Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita - Vol. 7 Ch. 47

    "When your subordinates screw up it's your fault, when mine do is irrelevant." "You didn't not say X, which means you said Y, right?" "Adding nuance and exceptions to X means you hate X." "If you care for the rights of minorities, you're neglecting the majority." "I'll attack your private life...

    Kou 1 Desu ga Isekai de Joushu Hajimemashita - Vol. 7 Ch. 46 - Recapture

    It lives. Though it seems that nor for long? Does it really end in two more chapters? Well, at least we'll get an answer to the whole election.

    Oneul ui Hanyoil eun Yeojada - Vol. 1 Ch. 71.5 - Extras

    For a moment I was hopeful that this update would be the start of the new season, but having the extras is good, so not disappointed! No, really, these extras are fun (I love popularity polls). A few thoughts on the extras: "Someone who isn't particularly special but wants to become special"...

    Boku no Ikezu na Konyakusha - Ch. 24.3

    I miss the early source of conflict. The very premise of the manga was that Sorata tended to misunderstood Miyuki's words, thinking her colder and more hostile than she really is because he mistook it for "Kyoto politeness" (like her brother does). Back then, the blame could be shared more or...

    Mahou Shoujo × Haiboku Saiban - Vol. 4 Ch. 23 - Case 08 Samurai Tsubaki Part 1

    As others are saying, yes, this chapter has a darker tone. I think it's the first chapter where neither Yuuri nor Aoi, our plucky protagonist duo, appear. Instead, we take a look at the larger Magical Girl system. The overworked routine of a public safety agent (funny how "Chevalier" is her...

    Isekai Arigatou - Ch. 20 - Wax On, Wax Off ②

    "Your role, Lady Shiina, is to be a porter to carry luggage in a pinch." Honestly, I'm liking Shiina's journey through a brutal deconstruction of modern Isekai tropes. Being relegated to pack mule and comedy relief when you expected to be an OP protagonist must sting.

    Isekai Arigatou - Vol. 3 Ch. 18 - Main Quest ②

    Yeah, in hindsight, what was the point of that? Give them a scare for some personal drama, then forget it one chapter later? On the other hand, I do prefer this turn of the story. It gives the protagonists a clear long-term goal.

    Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya Nanode Boss wo Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu - Ch. 51 - A New Beginning

    You can almost see the inner workings of management in action: "Registration for the tournament involves a lot of work, on top of the usual workload. We should give it all to one person so that the rest can keep up with the usual work." "But sir, tournament registration is more than the usual...

    Kyuuseishu «Messiah» ~Isekai wo Sukutta Motoyuusha ga Mamono no Afureru Genjitsu Sekai wo Musou Suru~ - Ch. 80 - Reason

    The moment Takeru claimed that he was empowered by his desire to protect his loved ones, I immediately thought: "wait, doesn't that apply to his enemy too?" Lo and behold, Cardinal gets her own power up too for the same reason. This series is full of the standard tropes, but I like that it...

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf o Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba ii? - Ch. 80

    Isn't this an adaptation of a Light Novel series? That'd mean the direction of the plot doesn't depend on the artist's motivation or lack of thereof ;)

    Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf o Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba ii? - Ch. 80

    Damn, I understand Zagan's logic, but I really wanted to see the interspecies assembly. We've been getting lots of interesting lore about the races in this world in a few chapters.

    Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 56 - Her absence has left me feeling strangely off

    Yes, even as a fan of the manga, this was always a sore point for me. I mean, it was key to the initial premise. The very title in Japanese references it (the original title is more or less Hope You're Happy, Bitch). If you want to check, the "return to the old home + flashback" arc covers...

    Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 56 - Her absence has left me feeling strangely off

    You bring up some very good points, though I'd argue that the parallelism runs closer and that the comparison should be made at the appropriate character stages. It's easier to make "Yami, Hikari's friend" look good (but not really much better, I might add) when compared to "Hebikawa, not...

    Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 56 - Her absence has left me feeling strangely off

    Well, there was another point to my comment: that criticism of Hebikawa tends to paint her as much worse than she really is. That realistically speaking, it's far more likely for her to be portrayed sympathetically by this very manga (not just by fans) when truly bad things happen. Case in...

    Kusunoki-san wa Koukou Debut ni Shippai Shite Iru - Ch. 56 - Her absence has left me feeling strangely off

    To be fair, the only character in this manga I can imagine Hebikawa stabbing, literally, is her mother's creepy ex. In which case, yeah, I'd expect droves of readers to defend her while her popularity skyrockets.

    7-nin no Nemuri Hime - Ch. 93 - It’s The Onions’ Fault

    Poor Elisa. While she's usually happy-go-lucky, she's also been the most worried about not hurting her sisters' feelings regarding their sudden guest. Back in the day it was about not accepting him before others did, now she's afraid about love triangles. Nothing that a harem ending can't solve...
