There are some traditional (but not fictional) processes that don't kill the worm, where the cocoon is used after the worm (or rather moth) has left. More expensive though. Spider silk is probably more expensive but could be harvested and leave the spider alive. Even then, fictional friendly...

I've been trying to figure out where it falls into the time line of the Aqua/Aria and it's finally nice to know.

Seems like a bit of both. It's probably more accurate to say she had dropped out because she mostly stopped going. However the school probably had to announce something. I'm not sure if it's a translation thing or if it's a definition for them on when someone has dropped out that the school...

and @dOmOlz Food historians talk about what tomatoes looked like prior to being cultivated and that they were just small berries. Lots of crops changed due to cultivation and breeding and look wildly different than how they grew wild. (Heck, if you want a comparison, look at strawberries and...

Pretty much. I do appreciate that they did talk about natural yeast and didn't do the fruit yeast trope as if no one else knew about it. And that the character did use a technique that is fairly unique.

Only if the beer is carbonated, which means having to have a container that can hold pressure, plus having the method to add the right amount of sugar so the bottle doesn't just explode. In old days, beer was not carbonated and was flat so it wouldn't have the effect. At best, beer could be...

The more I re-read this series, the more unhinged I realize it really is. We don't notice since everything is cute and almost mundane but from this chapter, we look at the bones that Sen works with and might think nothing of it. Usually, in human centric stories, people who raise skeletons...

True, if all someone is going by is hardtack then it'd at least start to make sense. Like if it's a bunch of shipwrecked sailors who don't know how to bake, or a culture who is new to wheat (like their own japanese culture at the time if wheat was introduced and none of them knew how to...

I love how we're all trying to figure out what clues there may have been to the maid's identity. Agreed that it seems to be not anyone indicated yet (as far as we know) and is likely going to have a backstory in coming chapters. Because yeah, the maid seems to have been employed by Akari for...

There's quite a few more. Like original body (not being an asshole) is dying/died and the new soul takes over. and subplot of New soul posesses original body and at some point is able to communicate and help the original body and soul, leaving it after or finding a way to separate, or the...

Ah the old Mikey curse

That fits about everything really. I always say that what all I want for my job, that I get paid for, is to be paid enough to live and to fund my hobbies and not hate what I do at the end of the day, and have time at the end of the day. Its why I like being a small cog in a big company. (It's...

Nah, some of us, including me talked about control and lack thereof. Main point is they don't have their broom so all they can do is fall. See example https://mangadex.org/chapter/7daba6c4-0221-4101-ba8b-ece4b046925d/19 My longer statement...

Like people already said, yes, control / the feeling of control and lack thereof. I do aerial silks, I can climb to the top no problem. I struggle to climb a ladder equally as high. Same for many others in my group. When we have to switch something up at the ceiling, we climb the silks...

Read another page or two and after the part where it specifically states that Jinshi has been taking the medicine to suppress his masculinity, you'll see after the comment about keeping it up and Jinshi becoming permanently impotent states back to Gao Shun that isn't it the same for him? While...

About how those mirrors work: And I agree, people commenting about them being a eunuch need to recall these pages https://mangadex.org/chapter/cf67fbb6-6c1c-4f0f-9d56-0ee6e1c0752d/7 on them passing off as a eunuch.

I saw Aqua and Aria as more of a story about growth and maturing but in particular creating a new life, as in getting out of high school or university or maybe even middle school and it being mostly targeted towards girls. Amanchu had some of the same qualities but I agree it didn't hit the...

Best use of Hand of Supremacy, threading the needle of a sewing machine. I really do appreciate that three panels were spent for that, and I've laughed even on a re-read.

Going to agree with many others. Something like this should have been the finale of the manga. Or at least only have the ability for a really short period of time until she gets enough power to keep it up for longer. Keeping her able to do things while being blind would have been more fun. (I...

After all this, we know that in a chapter or two, the group will be enthusiastic about Liz finding a husband who is treating her so well and it'll be all about Liz and relationship denials for a while.
