Old man had better not die is all I'm saying. He's still got a wedding to attend

mfw when short and have a furnace for an appetite and still no magic power or cute office ladies to battle when?

"magic power implantation in males"
"there's no way to develop this ethically"
"He's talking about modifying the human body"


I feel like this chapter is an allegory for something but I can't put my finger on it 🤔

He's been alienated from the work he's done because he never had to consider who that work was for.

Magical girls were there to deal with the kai threat. But his dream was to allow men to use magic, which had to sacrifice countless innocents and magical girls by experimenting on making stronger kai.

I don't know how much of it is intentional, given how in depth the economy of the world building is. However it's pretty neat that at a glance you can see what capitalism ought and can be used for (rapidly addressing a huge problem) vs what and how it currently is (manufacturing supply and demand to centralize wealth among the wealthy).

Like yeah, he's getting mad the wrong people, but I don't think it was ever in his interest to be right. And that's really interesting to put that type of person as the ultimate big bad

some people in the audience will see Manao's presentation and think "that does seem profitable" and restart the program again in the future
