I was wondering why the library looked like a supermarket until I remembered about DVD rentals. So they still have those in Japan, huh?

Humans spent like 2000 years killing any house cat that was a little bitch and only letting the friendly ones live. The reason cats are so demanding is we've rewired their brains to be permanently juvenile. They're basically toddlers always wanting to be picked up by their parents.

Yua is doing her hair and makeup at school? But she's already in public on her way to school. The whole point of it is to show off to other people and she's wasted like 25% of her daily chance to do so. She cares a lot about her appearance so I'm not buying that she's okay with being seen as-is...

Sure, but they're high school kids, they might not be as competent as management professionals.

So now I kind of like the idea of the main two never hooking up and just helping each other with their relationships. Which is obviously not how this series will go, but one can dream.

I hope we at least see them move in together so she stops taking 6 hour commutes.

Does she actually say United Nations Congress? IRL it's called the UN General Assembly but now I'm not sure if it was changed in the books.

They're not actually paid that much unless they're working at really high levels for the EU or UN. Plus he'd need credentials, just because you speak a language doesn't mean you'd be a good interpreter - sure he'll know the other guy said "feed-in-tariff" in Vietnamese for solar energy...

I've seen that Cashback movie from the author's notes. The hilarious thing is that the protagonist does an art exhibition with just sketches any art student can do. And everyone says how brilliant he is. But IRL if you grab a random art student's sketch book you'll see exactly the same quality...

The guy is right, MC totally comes across as a premature ejaculator.

Maybe he lost his virginity to a dog or something. It would explain why he still has trouble with human women.

It would be surprising if he wasn't. Edit: Well shit.

It's possible the manga made him a king though, it did change him into a Neanderthal. But in the books he's a Premier like in the Soviet Union.

Yeah, I just realized it was Uttan as well and came back here to say that. It wasn't in the solar system though which is why it slipped past me.

I flipped through the book to answer your question but turns out it ends with the arrival at the Ganymede crash site. It looks like this manga is adapting the whole series and not just Inherit the Stars. It's also been a while since I read the books so I'm not sure where we are now in the...

This is exactly the same as the light novel. There are actually quite a few differences between the light novels and the original web novel.

I also think he doesn't appreciate that keeping egotistical assholes like Sitry and Liz working together well is a genuinely skilled thing to do. Think how hard it is to keep a multiplayer clan or a DnD group running smoothly, and that's when the stakes are really low.

Honestly? Not really. It's a fantasy of a virgin guy instantly getting a hot wife and beautiful family. There's no real conflict in the story, it's entirely about wish fulfilment. But the LN translation is free online so it's easy to keep clicking "next chapter". This series actually reminds me...

I tried the web novel, it's weirdly asexual considering how often the guy and the dragon lady knock boots. It doesn't even fade to black for the sex scenes like a movie from the 40's trying to stay classy, the characters just start increasing the sexual tension between each other and then the...

The smoking area is just a nook in the back of the store? I don't see an exhaust fan or open windows. Wouldn't the smoke just travel to the rest of the building anyway?
