[slender skiff]

You find him cringe

Cos you were like that yourself

[silver robin]

i never wanted to stab people

if they removed the mc wants to commit murder part i wouldn't have dropped it unironically

[slender skiff]

So you wanted to pew pew them?

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I had to I'm sorry

Well

He never actually wanted to commit murder so no

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

It was never actually like that

[silver robin]

mal ranking is higher than i thought so i might give it another go

[slender skiff]

It's

Really unexpected

Ok I lied I had expectations going in

Because Syanda was like

[quaint patrol]

fiona in spyxfamily is holarious

[slender skiff]

It's diabetes

[stable herald]

BRO

[slender skiff]

And I put off reading it forever

Than I watched the anime

[quaint patrol]

well because after 10 chapters, it's amazing

[slender skiff]

And I was like

[silver robin]

i dropped it after episode 1

[quaint patrol]

idk about anime

[silver robin]

which im pretty sure is less than 10 chapters in

[quaint patrol]

i havent watched it

[slender skiff]

It's better than even what I expected

And that's with some expectations of at least Tenshi level quality

I'd say it exceeds tenshi in some places

It's one of the rare cases where I rated a romcom a 9

[silver robin]

fine ill try it

eventually

[slender skiff]

It is yabai alright

[silver robin]

when theres a season without many bangers

[slender skiff]

Tbh at some point it's less the dangers in his heart

It's the dangers in our heart

[silver robin]

dangers of your heart hehe

[slender skiff]

Exactly

[silver robin]

not my heart

(yet)

[slender skiff]

It knows how to blend in lewdness (horni) and diabetes together

Which is... Some skill alright

[silver robin]

that reminds me i have al dailies to do in 15 minutes brb

[slender skiff]

Tenshi doesn't do that well

[somber relic]

Tenshi has lewd?

[slender skiff]

Yes

Yes it does

[somber relic]

imo Fairytale manga from the illustrator of the Tenshi LN does the job better

[slender skiff]

Well the wholesome handholding becomes wholesome touching

"wholesome"

[somber relic]

Hazano-sensei is just that good

[slender skiff]

The issue is more so

The incredible detail the author goes into

[trim swan]

way too lewd

[slender skiff]

It somehow gets worse

Idk how

[slender skiff]

Like

It's so lewd

I can't even share it here

Like dude I did not want to visualise exactly what he was doing

[slender skiff]

It feels like someone's writing a H scene in an eroge

I can share this though

This was after they had a little gropey session

[weak glacier]

Sauce boss, what's the sauce?

[slender skiff]

Why does that look like Sasha from misfit

[weak glacier]

oh fuck

I ordered an yamada from Goodsmile

I already have two of her

They literally don't want my money

[silver robin]

wao

[whole berry]

Vol 5.5?

[slender skiff]

6
Fan TLs

5.5 is all side stories during the events of the first 5 vols

[whole berry]

Oh I'll read it after roshi dere

[slender skiff]

I'll be honest

I had to drop it

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

The diabetes is

Actually too strong

And it's delving into uh

Well

Let's just say

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

Twin mounds

[whole berry]

Twin whut

[slender skiff]

What else

They're going into the second stage of contact already

[whole berry]

Oh

That's earlier than expected

[slender skiff]

The third stage isn't that far away

[whole berry]

Rathern than my stepmom daughter is my ex who took 10 volume to do the deed

[slender skiff]

I think it took them 8

[silver robin]

wao

[slender skiff]

For Tenshi it's 8 iirc

And guess what beats them all

Sakurasou

[silver robin]

no its domestic girlfriend obviously

[whole berry]

Wdym by sakurasou

[silver robin]

the pet girl of sakurasou

[slender skiff]

Pet Girl of Sakurasou

[silver robin]

was an anime in 2014

based on an ln

[whole berry]

Wait

[slender skiff]

Yes

Yes they did

In the LN

[silver robin]

same author as seishun buta yarou series

[slender skiff]

I think it took them 6?

[whole berry]

Dayum

[slender skiff]

AND THEN THEY BROKE UP BISH WAT

[whole berry]

FUCKIN WHUT

[slender skiff]

The novel went to shit tbh

[silver robin]

na its after 6

cause

6 is when anime stopped

[slender skiff]

It's not long after

I mean

The reason they broke up

[silver robin]

i think confession is 8

[slender skiff]

Is the same reason they fought in the anime

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Talk about backtracking

[silver robin]

entl is catching up

wao

[slender skiff]

Let's be real

The only good thing about mamahaha

[silver robin]

takayaki

[slender skiff]

Is the art

[whole berry]

If we're talking about the fastest this the the highest contender https://vxtwitter.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1718308492476403866

[silver robin]

called it

[slender skiff]

But gee

I wonder where I've seen the art before

[whole berry]

Only took them 2 volumes

[slender skiff]

It looks so familiar

GEEE

[silver robin]

ender how much r18 have you been reading smh

[slender skiff]

I WONDER WHAT

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

It's Arifureta you baka

[silver robin]

i know

im just memeing with you

[whole berry]

I'm hoping it will be faster because Gloucos Tl stoped at vol 10

[slender skiff]

Though they have made some cultured medium

[silver robin]

we love culture here right guys

[slender skiff]

Koiito-

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Ahem

Classic cultured medium

[whole berry]

Ari whut

[silver robin]

they stopped cause they didn't want to get slammed with copyright

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

Mamahaha has the same artist as Arifureta

[silver robin]

if you are a fantl group and you don't stop when the series gets licensed then you are risking copyright

[whole berry]

Now that you think of it kaori and yume looks the same

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/staff/105907/TakayaKi

I mean the pfp says it all

[silver robin]

[whole berry]

Wait nekopara?

[silver robin]

na

when it says ending card

it just means commemorative illustration

which any artist can do since its just 1 picture xd

[slender skiff]

Yep

Anilist doesn't list h-works by default

Iirc

So this shd be fine

But yeah the art is great

[gusty light]

I thought AniList have hentai series because iirc Kitsu and MAL have it

[whole berry]

Glucose is continuing vol 11 of stepmom daughter

[slender skiff]

I think they both hide it by default right?

[gusty light]

MAL have it iirc

you can hide it

[slender skiff]

But yeah Sam

It's a shame you can't read Jaku Chara Tomozaki

[gusty light]

was the LN approaching besto girl?

[slender skiff]

EN has caught up

Lol

EN and JP are both at vol 10

[gusty light]

if Fuuka didnt win I swear to fucking god

I stopped around vol.4 iirc

[slender skiff]

Uh

Well

Should I tell you then?

[gusty light]

say it

[slender skiff]

||Yes||

[gusty light]

FUCCKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSSS

Bruh I was literally full on Fuuka ship man

iirc ppl didnt like the anime adaptation of tomozaki

[slender skiff]

||She's been dating Tomozaki for quite a few volumes. Not that they haven't had a few issues||

[gusty light]

based author man

imma catch up to Ayanokouji yr2

[slender skiff]

The real question

Is Aoi

[gusty light]

I dont care about that bitch

[slender skiff]

She's such a huge enigma

[gusty light]

Fuuka won, doesnt matter.

[slender skiff]

I don't mean in a romantic sense

[gusty light]

didnt she mentioned about her having different personality due to being bullied?

vol.2/3 iirc

[slender skiff]

Aoi?

Lies

Lmao

[gusty light]

oh it was a lie?

[slender skiff]

We don't find out anything about her past for a real damn long time

All we get are hints

[gusty light]

yeah even in vol.4

[slender skiff]

It's only spelt out in no unclear terms in vol 10

Though we get many hints

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

Vol 10 is where we get the final confirmation about her family situation

[gusty light]

I might read Tomozaki again after COTE yr2

[slender skiff]

Fuuka herself is very interested in Aoi btw

In fact she's the one that peels off the most layers

[gusty light]

I mean

wasnt Fuuka the one who mentioned to MC about the dating thing?

[slender skiff]

It all started with the play

As you might imagine

[gusty light]

Fuuka absolute foresight

[slender skiff]

And heck

Mimimi knows how to lose with dignity

She's such a great friend for Tomozaki tbh

[gusty light]

ngl the only reedimng quality of the LN is the monologues were so damn good

Bunny girl sempai LN is so fucking good too man

[slender skiff]

If only Sakurasou retained that quality through to the end...

[gusty light]

I remembered Sakurasou vaguely but my waifu didnt win so fuck that series

[slender skiff]

Btw they did get back together... Like 4 years later

A man of Nanami culture?

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

[gusty light]

dude it was literally a fucking no brainer

[slender skiff]

A fellow Nanami fan

[whole berry]

4 years? Timeskip?

[slender skiff]

Yes

4 years after they graduated or sth

[whole berry]

At least not like the girl downstairs

[slender skiff]

When both of them made progress in their careers

[gusty light]

there was 2 takes I was trying to made before when I finished MT WN. And I changed it.

1. Eris was besto waifu and Slyph arc was quite nice
2. vol.13/14 was literally holy fuck

also now MT LN is finished TL I wanna read MT Redundancy to tilt ppl

[slender skiff]

Yeah a lot of people don't like 13

[gusty light]

the thing about MT that ppl dont seem to understand is that Rudy isnt I forgot his name in Japanese

[slender skiff]

Rudeus Japanese name is never once confirmed

[gusty light]

it was at the end iirc

[slender skiff]

Even in turning point 4

[whole berry]

Oh

[gusty light]

Aisha arc bby

[whole berry]

Wdym? The fan tl was uploaded years ago

[slender skiff]

LN

[whole berry]

No wait

[slender skiff]

Not WN

[whole berry]

I read the wb

[slender skiff]

Baka silver

[gusty light]

the wn was years before

[whole berry]

WAIT A FUCKIN MINUTE

WDYM BY REDUNDANCY

The author removed that novel

[slender skiff]

What else do we mean

[gusty light]

short stories and continuation

[whole berry]

It has been sealed

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately

Seals aren't forever

[whole berry]

[gusty light]

I want him to redo Redunandcy but I want him to include Aisha arc

actually I was fine with it but there are some parts I was not good with

[whole berry]

Tbh i was weirded out by it, even i understand incest but ars and aisha confused me

[gusty light]

[whole berry]

NTR levels of confusion

[gusty light]

Aisha liking ars because he looks like Rudy and he likes Rudy

also she took care of him

[whole berry]

What confused me was it felt so realistic

From Rudy's reaction to the families reaction

[gusty light]

the most fucked up shit was when Rudy mentioned something about it in this arc that I was just "dude what the actual fuck?"

[whole berry]

He didn't lash out he just went black and sat the sofa traumatized

[gusty light]

honestly, he had a good point tho, of all the things it could have been Hitogami

[whole berry]

Nah the family got some charm that negates hitogami manipulation

[gusty light]

he asked this to Aisha when they found them

[whole berry]

The Only time hitogami manipulated him was when his grandchild remove the ring or something

[gusty light]

this arc was before the marriage between the spurdo race and that chick which was Norm iirc

[whole berry]

And that was the last time

[gusty light]

it was just built different

[whole berry]

Ending was comforting tho

Even if it was a what if

[gusty light]

Rudy fulfilled what he wanted at the end and man it was quite satisfying

[whole berry]

He finally felt peace

Even he got a reaction from his grandchildren

[gusty light]

yeah that ending was so good man

it was so good

[whole berry]

But paul and zeniths aftermath really hit me

[gusty light]

man when Rudy met Paul when they got back it was just "holy"

oh well regardless at least he still took care of Norm and Aisha

[whole berry]

It gave me the ability to foreshadow what would happen in the novels that i read

It was a great novel

But i won't reread it

[gusty light]

what made me enjoy MT was how vols are progression of Rudy's arc which you can pinpoint

isekais nowadays are just not like that

[whole berry]

Isekai are mass produced now

Harem, overpowered ability, MC is dense but gets the job done

[gusty light]

Arifureta WN/LN is satisfying to read tho

Arifureta AS was a mix bag tho

[whole berry]

Is the WN and LN the same?

[slender skiff]

Arifureta is

One of those

Entertaining af ones

[gusty light]

yeah you can read either or and not lose that much tbf

fight scenes were fleshed out in LN

[slender skiff]

LN is fully TLed

[whole berry]

But the ending of arifureta still has unsolved problems

[gusty light]

LN is finished but there's Arifureta AS so

[whole berry]

What do the UN do with the otherworlders?

Are they safe in our world?

[gusty light]

Hajime did brainwash them or something when they got back to Earth

because it was annoying his harem

[whole berry]

Whut

[slender skiff]

I mean

Yue will do Yue things

[gusty light]

the sensei were getting backlash iirc and she's Hajimes wife so

[slender skiff]

Kaori can't control her strength so she's effectively a gorrila

[whole berry]

That pissed me off tbh

Her parents were harassed

[slender skiff]

Because she "can heal anything"

[gusty light]

yeah

Arifureta AS has some cannon arc and some fillers

[whole berry]

Other parents lost their jobs trying to find their children

[slender skiff]

Shea is Shea

[whole berry]

Shea is always shea

Not even yue can do anything

[slender skiff]

Yue is Yue

[gusty light]

Shea arc will forever be the best man it was just built different

[slender skiff]

The funniest of all is Shizuku

Like I couldn't stop laughing

[whole berry]

She is cute

[gusty light]

Shizuku

[slender skiff]

Iirc the end of vol 13 says

She needed to fight her family or something

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

To gain their approval

[whole berry]

Bruh

[gusty light]

yeah for her to wed hajime

[slender skiff]

It's so in character

Poor girl can't catch a break

[gusty light]

because iirc Hajime visited their parents right?

[slender skiff]

I think so?

[whole berry]

At least kaori can heal her parents

[gusty light]

I'm just saying.

Arifureta only became harem when Shea won

[slender skiff]

It's hilarious af

Tho

[whole berry]

They literally took a god down

[slender skiff]

I think Mea is

Wait not Mea

Myu

[whole berry]

Also that masochist elf

[slender skiff]

Myu is another breed entirely

[whole berry]

That has a crush on shea

[gusty light]

the motorcyle incident

[slender skiff]

How on earth did Myu get like a million friends is beyond me

[gusty light]

oh is that when they were doing the 7sins shit?

I forgot

[slender skiff]

Nah

In the post

[whole berry]

Myu is adorable

And has op golems that her father made

Of course she would get alot of friends

[gusty light]

yeah the golems were like guardians or something

[whole berry]

I would want a friend like that

[slender skiff]

After moving to Japan, she (Yue) started attending the same school as Hajime. She causes trouble at school daily, but seems blissfully unaware of the fact that she’s the source of it.

Hajime has to constantly mess with people’s perceptions to ensure her antics don’t attract the wrong kind of attention

---

After moving to Japan, Shea started attending the same school as Yue and Hajime. Unlike Yue, her beauty isn’t so otherworldly that people hesitate to approach her. In fact, she’s so friendly that she’s received numerous confessions of love. Sometimes the boys get exceptionally pushy and she tells them to talk to the hand—in a rather literal sense. Unfortunately, she doesn’t realize the magnitude of her own strength, and she’s remarked multiple times about how fragile humans from Earth are.

Hajime has had to use revival artifacts numerous times to keep Shea from being convicted of murder.

[gusty light]

I mean ig it's kinda weird to have their wedding bands when they're HS

[slender skiff]

To Hajime’s surprise, Tio’s been much less of a handful than the other girls, outside of constantly asking to be stepped on, anyway.

Right I forgot about this

[whole berry]

[gusty light]

iirc he also married Myu's mother

[slender skiff]

He did marry the mother yes

But lmao Tio

Tio not causing problems is a darn miracle

[gusty light]

his father when they come back was like "yo were living the fucking harem life uhhhhh"

Tio is helping with Myu's mother to make like jewelries iirc

it was mentioned somewhere in AS

also Hajime goes to vidya game production for moni

the sensei arc in AS was hella based tho

[slender skiff]

Moreover, Kaori is more skilled with spirit and restoration magic than even Yue, so her sense of what’s fatal and what isn’t has gotten rather skewed. She’s destroyed things beyond all recognition before and still thought it was fine, since she could just revive or restore whomever or whatever she’s mangled.

From healer to berserker

Kaori you absolute gorilla

[gusty light]

Koari with the apostle's body was

[slender skiff]

After moving to Japan, Myu was enrolled in a kindergarten and is about to become an elementary school student. All of the kids in her class are her friends now, and a few months after Hajime taught her how to use the internet, she’s already made friends across the globe.

[whole berry]

Wdym? Tio doesn't cause problems

[slender skiff]

And here we have Ms Worldwide

[whole berry]

Aside from the BDSM she's actually a yamato nadeshiko

[slender skiff]

After acquiring the power of selective slicing, Shizuku has gotten a lot more assertive about her wants and needs. Instead of mincing words, she’s now willing to cut through anything that bothers her.

Unfortunately, after returning home and learning a terrible secret about the Yaegashi family, she ended up having to fight on once more.

[whole berry]

She is even the babysitter of myu

[gusty light]

kinky yamato nadeshiko

[whole berry]

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

[gusty light]

I stopped Zaregoto LN too because TLer

but iirc it was fully TLed

I'll read it again in the future

[slender skiff]

Poor Shizuku

[gusty light]

the movie was good too but man, that vol.1 of Zaregoto is good too...

[gusty light]

literally the most normal of all waifus

[slender skiff]

That's her charm

After returning to Japan, Aiko resumed her teaching duties, but also used her magic to help out her family’s orchard, and now the fruits they produce have become world-famous.

Unfortunately, the Hatayama family has no way of explaining to reporters and journalists what the secret of their success is, so even though they’re making killer profits, their troubles have also multiplied.

KEKW

[gusty light]

also took her literally 9 vols to figure out she also likes Hajime

[slender skiff]

A classic tsundere. Yuka invited Hajime to eat at her family’s restaurant after they returned to Japan, but she’s still hiding her true feelings from him. Kaori seems to have noticed though and is keeping a close eye on her.

This one remains vague kekw

The Eri bit was a bit depressing tho

[gusty light]

mhhhhh I had a thought about that but idk if it'll ship tbf

[gusty light]

ohhhh I mean they went back to Tartus or whatever it was after staying in Earth for like 3 months

[slender skiff]

Liliana’s now officially engaged to the Demon Lord who felled god, AKA Hajime. She couldn’t go to Japan with everyone else because she still had responsibilities left in Heiligh, so she saw Hajime and the others off with tears in her eyes. Eventually, though, she made it to Japan like everyone else. She’s still adjusting to the new society she finds herself in, but her natural talent and dauntless spirit will lead her to great places.

Another victim

[gusty light]

Liliana neet arc was funny tho

[slender skiff]

Helina Ashe

  She’s a member of the noble Ashe family that has served the Heiligh family for generations. She’s Liliana’s maid and bodyguard. Her skills are so great that even Hajime acknowledges her ability, and he often asks her to do things on his behalf. Liliana is as of yet unaware of that fact, however.

Totally not relevant but wanted to share

Lundel S. B. Heiligh

  The heir to Heiligh’s throne. He had a crush on Kaori, so he cried for three days straight when he learned she was marrying Hajime. In the month after Ragnarok, **he spent a lot of time with Myu and ended up falling for her next**. Romance doesn’t come easy for the heir.

Dude the royal family is cursed

[gusty light]

of all it's Myu

dude's gotta beat a god to get his approval

[whole berry]

Twas a great novel

Too bad other works isn't like it

[slender skiff]

I've seen better

For me the value in Arifureta is how entertaining it is

It's like watching a Michael Bay movie

[gusty light]

imagine reading it for plot

[whole berry]

Revenge was a great bait to lure new audience

What made me stay is the technologies that hajime made

[gusty light]

that arc was like done in 3 vols iirc

[whole berry]

And how he uses them

Bruh a small pear that can become an orbital pulse lazer

[slender skiff]

If I wanted to recommend an isekai for the plot

[gusty light]

oh COTE y2v7 is out I thought there was y2v7.5

[slender skiff]

It's realist hero for world building

And seirei gensouki for action

*LN wise I mean

Their animes are uh

Not too good

[gusty light]

I stopped reading Realist LN

[slender skiff]

Realist in the name only

[whole berry]

Hmm i will check seirei again i forgot why I didn't read vol 6 or 9

[gusty light]

I find the LN quite really uncommonly realistic

especially when he was like "well we have no food? Just hunt kekW"

[slender skiff]

I mean for the most part yes

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

Seirei is at 23 now

But if I wanted to recommend the best isekai LN ever
That would be Ascendance of a Bookworm

Yes bold claim, but I stand by it

[gusty light]

oh ppl were praising it.....

[slender skiff]

Though

[gusty light]

too long of LN

[slender skiff]

I won't deny it is a slow burn yes

[whole berry]

Nice now a novel that i read everyday instead of 1 novel a day because i tend to finish novels early

[gusty light]

how many vols is it now?

[slender skiff]

It also has 24 volumes in english as of now?

Wait no

Uh

[gusty light]

finished?

[slender skiff]

Lol no

JP is still going

[gusty light]

wtf

[whole berry]

Oh wait

[gusty light]

how old is Maine on 24 vols?

[whole berry]

I almost forgot our last crusade

[slender skiff]

5th year of school

[whole berry]

Romance is meh

[slender skiff]

So on paper she's 15

[whole berry]

But i like the world building

[slender skiff]

She's actually 16 ofc

[gusty light]

wtf

[whole berry]

Specially the reason why witches exist

[slender skiff]

3+4+5+9+7
Sorry we're at 28

JP is awaiting 33rd volume

[gusty light]

nah I'll continue just reading cote. I stopped somewhere at y2 so I'll just read y2v1 again

[slender skiff]

The main flaw with Bookworm is that it's a slow burn

[gusty light]

too much

[slender skiff]

So if you want action

Not the best one

[gusty light]

if you want a good romance, read Gimai Seikatsu

[whole berry]

Action Isekai huh

[slender skiff]

Seirei Gensouki

That's my personal favourite

[whole berry]

I only know 1 without harem

[slender skiff]

Tbh I've read it
I also find it a somewhat slow burn

[whole berry]

Do slime pets count as harem?

[slender skiff]

Though

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

HOT TAKE IN BOUND

[gusty light]

nowadays I stay away from harem

[slender skiff]

The author's other work is better

I prefer ImoUza to Gimai

[whole berry]

Imouza?

[gusty light]

because they just met and literally got shoved in this family. If it isnt a slowburn, author is doing something wrong

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/129195/Tomodachi-no-Imouto-ga-Ore-ni-dake-Uzai/

Same author

[gusty light]

eh I didnt enjoy the LN

[whole berry]

Oh that

Isn't the MC dense?

[slender skiff]

I prefer this to Gimai honestly

He's not that dense

Sure he doesn't realise Iroha's affections for a long while

But he's quick on the draw with Mashiro

So I hesitate to call him dense

In denial might be more accurate

[gusty light]

lemme finish reading Oubonel Chronicle and I might go with either COTE or Gimai Seikatsu next

thing with Gimai is that, iirc it has v9

[slender skiff]

And honestly the MC is gold

[slender skiff]

The thing is
It's all fan TLs

Then again it just got its first vol officially translated so

[whole berry]

Also about iroho

Or something

[gusty light]

Ah

[slender skiff]

Iroha

[whole berry]

I finally remembered why I didn't read it

[slender skiff]

She's as devilish as the Iroha in BA

And the Iroha in Oregairu

It runs in the name

[whole berry]

Was there a love triangle or something

[slender skiff]

Yes

Though let's be real

How many romcoms don't

[gusty light]

there are some good ones

[slender skiff]

Keyword being romcom

[somber relic]

*romcoms in LNs

ftfy

thank me later

[slender skiff]

I mean

Are there even many good manga romcoms?

[somber relic]

if I said yes?

[slender skiff]

Keyword is many

[somber relic]

[whole berry]

I think it was when he choose someone else besides iroha or the opposite

[somber relic]

yes

[slender skiff]

I won't say there isn't

[somber relic]

and my answer is still yes

there is many good romcoms

[slender skiff]

I can think of a few

But I think most of the better ones are LNs

[gusty light]

good romcom are quite a oxymoron

[slender skiff]

I mean I suppose it depends on

Is it a rom or a com

Which is the focus

[gusty light]

it's like you want to get beaten up but you say is "dont do it"

[whole berry]

I'll give it a try as long as it doesn't have an ending like hataraku mao sama

[somber relic]

you can trust me on this

[slender skiff]

Cos if it's stuff like Acchi Kochi

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

Or yes

Nozaki

Those are more on the sol/comedy

[gusty light]

ah someone I know spoilt me on Hataraku

[somber relic]

that's just my top scored title showed there

[gusty light]

bruh it was literally NTR lvl ending

[slender skiff]

So obviously there isn't a love triangle
Or if there is, it's played for gags

[somber relic]

and well I consider Nozaki as one of the best comedy manga I read period

[slender skiff]

Oh I don't deny that

[somber relic]

not the best as romance manga though

[slender skiff]

It's criminally underrated

[whole berry]

It ain't NTR

[slender skiff]

If anything

[whole berry]

Something worse

[slender skiff]

Nozaki deserves more attention

As does D-Frag for the matter

[gusty light]

D-Frag good comedy

[somber relic]

honestly Ender, you will call any manga title that not known by anime watcher as underrated

no offense

Nozaki is popular

[slender skiff]

I mean

[gusty light]

so Miru Thighs is underrated?

[slender skiff]

The anime was brilliant enough and yet no one cares

[somber relic]

.

[whole berry]

Also what's the deal with isekai vending machine,pig and sword

[gusty light]

[slender skiff]

Allegedly the vending machine one is good

Idk

[whole berry]

8/10

[slender skiff]

Sword one got a much better adaptation than it deserved

Pig one uh...

Idk

It's still airing

[whole berry]

They ate him right?

[slender skiff]

Idk

Sword one had a brilliant adaptation

[whole berry]

Also the vending machine can turn into a man

[slender skiff]

They made Fran positively adorable

[somber relic]

also, if you call Nozaki title underrated I can't even imagine what is your comment for average manga stuff that I usually read

buried in the Mariana Trench?

[whole berry]

Japan will literally reincarnate anything

[slender skiff]

I mean
What's not to love

[slender skiff]

Just underground
No one is asking you to commit oceangate

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/qAkZomeGcLo?si=rsg0GpOiT046WEhP

[slender skiff]

And yes

[whole berry]

Fran is the sword?

[slender skiff]

Nope

[somber relic]

the loli

[slender skiff]

Fran is literally Eris reincarnated as a cat girl

And yes

[gusty light]

when kumo anime boomed, they were like "why cant we make a isekai about vending machine? Maybe it'll work out"

[slender skiff]

That does mean she shares VAs with these 2

[somber relic]

spring bath isekai:

[slender skiff]

Though she's not just cute

Girl is savage fam

[gusty light]

there was a spring bath isekai iirc

[slender skiff]

Exactly

But yeah

I read the LN for Tenken (sword isekai)

It isn't great

But the anime was excellent

[ivory mauve]

Yo what the heck

[slender skiff]

https://vxtwitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1725076988862595385?s=19

Speak of the devil

[ivory mauve]

No way

[slender skiff]

...it looks really different from the LN

Daheck

[ivory mauve]

Closer to the manga's art style style

[slender skiff]

Tomochika looks like she's from cardcaptor now

And Yogiri looks more manly

More buff if you will

[ivory mauve]

For a death god he got the eyes

[slender skiff]

Guess you could say

He's got the

Light in his eyes

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-gif-20411229

[slender skiff]

I had to I'm sorry

Someone had to

Take the L

[ivory mauve]

Oh it became painful.

[slender skiff]

That was the intention yes

But honestly

It's a real interesting read

Or at least

A very unique one

[ivory mauve]

I'm caught up with the manga.

[slender skiff]

Where even is the manga at

[ivory mauve]

Just finished a flashback of mc straight up unaliving heaven

[slender skiff]

Ah

Yes I remember that scene

No I don't remember when it is

Tbh for me

The most interesting parts are the side story chapters

About how Yogiri was raised under this caretaker

[ivory mauve]

Yeah one of the past flashbacks

Pretty much stopping the world getting wiped out

[slender skiff]

Lmfao

Yeah Enju is

Weird

They left it incredibly vague

https://vxtwitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1725079351807688789?s=19

KOYASU

[frosty knoll]

LIEUTENANT SEX

[slender skiff]

Ya know

I never thought I'd see a goddess more pitiful than Aqua

I was wrong, so very wrong

Here we have a goddess shamelessly attempting to use charm magic on the MC to get her first follower
And when that failed, proceed to throw a tantrum by rolling around on the floor raging
Before asking if a peek at her pantsu (which was almost revealed during her tantrum) would convince the MC to be her first follower

To quote the MC

"That is quite the sentence"

[dry moon]

Wait that seems vaguely familiar

I remember reading a manga like that

Ohh yeah I sort of remember now

[somber relic]

there are several manga with premise like that already

though it's just the classic copy-paste concept things

peak creativity amirite

another reason why Syousetsu site should get burned to the ground already

[dry moon]

I mean, I remember the name of the main character

When I saw it, at least

[somber relic]

and Korean webnovel site

[slender skiff]

Well the fact is

You never know when someone can turn a well established genre on its head

Like I highly doubt anyone expected Gotoubun's mangaka to delve into Sentai of all things

Well the concept of evil heroes isn't exactly new

But it's a distinctly unique approach even to that

For a more current example

Frieren is a twist on the "main character's (not necessarily the hero's) party's journey to defeat the demon lord"

[boreal oyster]

emuach

[trim swan]

what the actual fuck

[slender skiff]

Welcome to Kanojo mo Kanojo

Where the 1st girlfriend is almost certainly bisexual
Which is the only reason why this ever worked to begin with

[zinc lance]

le fok?

[somber relic]

not if you already follow the author's previous one shot before

Akasaka Aka made a romcom manga (Kaguya-sama) was more surprising than that (at that time)

Haruba Negi's manga genre shift wasn't that surprising at all

there is Law of Ueki's author who made a romcom manga as well

[dry moon]

The more I read 100 gf the more I’m liking mimimi

I wonder why

[somber relic]

oh, fyi Haruba Negi also used to be the assistant for Kamisama no Iuutori

a manga about a brutal death game

pretty gorey as well

[slender skiff]

I mean

[somber relic]

so he already have a basic for it

anyway

[slender skiff]

Akasaka only went to romcom on his editor's recommendation anyways

[somber relic]

https://anilist.co/manga/54561/Kamisama-no-Iutoori/

[slender skiff]

Which is probably why Renai Daikou is a thing now

[somber relic]

this manga is kinda good in the genre

compared to average death game manga you can find anyway

(which tend to turned into messy porn garbage)

[somber relic]

well, my previous point still stand

if anything, it's more surprising that Haruba Negi create Quintuplets manga

than Haruba Negi create Ranger Reject

if you see his track record

most of his one shot has fantasy-ish stuff

oh yeah I almost forgot Rengoku no Karma as well

that one is also some heavy stuff manga (kinda bad overall though)

@slender skiff so you can see

if anything, Quintuplets manga is the anomaly in the author's work

https://anilist.co/manga/86063/Rengoku-no-Karma/

don't read this manga though

massive waste of time

oh I forgot to add gotoubun one shot to my tracker

[dry moon]

Good god I finished 100 gf

What now

[somber relic]

watch Patema Inverse

[frosty knoll]

I’ll get the framing better later

[frosty knoll]

It’s hell

[thorn briar]

Go read Pandora hearts

[somber relic]

@thorn briarread March Story

[thorn briar]

Wait so , he didn't let the assassin kill winter , just injuring him

[somber relic]

you will not regret it

if you love Pandora Heart you definitely will like March Story as well

[thorn briar]

I suffered from Pandora hearts

[somber relic]

cmon

only 5 volumes

at least you will not suffer from waiting for chapter update like D Gray Man

[thorn briar]

I already have vanitas no carte, which is by the same mangaka as Pandora hearts

[stable herald]

ISnt this the one where student's head goes POP

Iirc there a live adaptation of it? And well made?

lol

idk, maybe i got the wrong series

[somber relic]

there was one yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_the_Gods_Will_(film)

well made? nope

well not pure trash, however it wasn't a good adaptation either

[stable herald]

i see

[somber relic]

though I suppose it's kinda fine to watch if you never read the manga

[somber relic]

ironically I would call this one better in term of adaptation compared to Alice in Borderland netflix adaptation

though Alice in Borderland loved more by the normies

(who never read the manga obviously)

[stable herald]

I...did watched it b4

lmao

I think the only japanese-manga live adaptation thats well made was uhh...Inuyashiki

the show is great

As emotional as the anime

[somber relic]

also another ironic thing was Kamisama no Iuutori first arc which adapted in the live action actually hated by most of the manga reader

(including me)

well I don't really hate it, but the first arc of the manga was uhhh

though it supposed to be the prelude of the main manga (Kamisama no Iuutori 2)

in the manga it was kinda feels like you watch a shitshow when everyone is fucking dying with breaknecking pacing

I guess the Live action did a better job for adapting the first arc of the manga in some way

[serene forge]

How am I only finding out now that Blue Exorcist is getting a S3

[somber relic]

anime adaptation of it already ruined anyway

would be surprised if they actually make a good adaptation in s3

at least new Ao no Exorcist mean we get new song fom Sawano

but that's it

((same with Solo Leveling anime)

[slender skiff]

To be fair, no one expected it

Not when S1 got butchered

And even the S2 retcon was 7 years ago

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

Not just sawano

Dem uverworld OPs

[somber relic]

oh wait, no Mika Kobayashi anymore though

no Elaina either

in nZK

oh wait I mean SayuLee

I had brainfart

[slender skiff]

All the OPs blue exorcist were excellent

[somber relic]

well at least Gemie can replace Mika Kobayashi's place for new Ao no exorcist but that's it

[serene forge]

I have mixed feelings for SL since the first trailer didn't do a great job, while the second and third ones did better

[slender skiff]

I pray we get more bangers

[serene forge]

But I don't think it'll surpass the manhwa

[slender skiff]

I mean the bar is that it surpasses the novel

[serene forge]

Yup

[somber relic]

I don't really like them; well, they aren't bad, but they're not my kind of songs to listen to repeatedly

[slender skiff]

Unless A1 collaborates with ufotable

[serene forge]

It's pretty much legendary at this point lmao

[somber relic]

similar with YOASOBI's song for me

[slender skiff]

I don't see them topping the manhwa

And before you ask

Yes they have worked with ufotable before

For SAO

[serene forge]

Horrible plot but good animation at the time imo

[somber relic]

anime studio working with each other is really common

[slender skiff]

No as in

[somber relic]

but the main studio is what matter

[slender skiff]

As a large scale collaborater

Not simply a mention in the credits

That means literally the main studios

[quaint patrol]

SL's story is like nil

it's only the art that made it good

[slender skiff]

To be fair that goes for most anime these days

[serene forge]

It's a better SAO, that's mostly all

[quaint patrol]

so i appreciate ancient magus bride

good recc

[slender skiff]

Its great

I need to get back to it

[quaint patrol]

takes awhile to modernize

[serene forge]

I dropped magus after the first part of the second season months ago

[quaint patrol]

i.e utilize more chibis and be funnier

[slender skiff]

I got so blown away by the first 4 eps I forgot that I haven't completed it

[quaint patrol]

same but for oshi no ko

[serene forge]

It's great

[quaint patrol]

i just stopped after 4 eps

[serene forge]

Man I still haven't watched Oshi No Ko

[slender skiff]

Tho for me Cad

[serene forge]

[slender skiff]

The best part is still the Ending theme

I have that on loop

It's so fitting with the anime

[quaint patrol]

guess im listening to it

which season's ed?

[slender skiff]

The first one

Cycle is the name

It's very uh

Old timey

Not in the sense of retro like kusuriya's OP

[quaint patrol]

like mushoku tensei ops

i vibe

[slender skiff]

It's like

[somber relic]

I'm waiting for new Spice and Wolf anime instead

[slender skiff]

A typical fantasy op

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

That feels so rare now

[serene forge]

I saw that

[slender skiff]

I will actually give it a chance this time

[somber relic]

I already done with the manga and some part of the novel

[slender skiff]

17 year old me dropped it cos I couldn't be arsed to understand the topics

[somber relic]

which anime

[serene forge]

I kinda wanted the deed scene in S2 of mushoku to follow the manga but the anime mostly follows the novel in that aspect

[slender skiff]

I got a feeling a 20+ year old me that has actually studied economics might enjoy it now tho

[somber relic]

S&W isn't that heavy

[slender skiff]

Or ya know

Some level of maturity

[somber relic]

S&W only heavy if you read the LN

it's kinda irritating to read at some point

[slender skiff]

Yeah the anime wasn't that heavy

I think I pushed to the end of s1

Or was it Cour 1

Can't remember

[somber relic]

or you know what, you can always read the manga instead

[serene forge]

Didn't the anime not reach the end

[somber relic]

it was a great adaptation

with catchy art as well

[slender skiff]

I mean spice and wolf is still going sooooooooo

[somber relic]

LN? no

[quaint patrol]

isnt its sequel still ongoing

[slender skiff]

I don't think the anime reached the end?

Idk

I don't know enough to be sure

[somber relic]

sequel start a new story, though if I talked about it further it would be a major spoiler, mega major spoiler

[serene forge]

Idk I'm not updated on manga lately since I've been busy going through a month durability test of smut

I enjoy vanilla too much

[somber relic]

even the synopsis of the sequel alone is already a massive spoiler

[slender skiff]

I mean for me

I think I'll actually really enjoy it now

[somber relic]

anyway S&W main story already ended

[slender skiff]

Cos like

Idk it always gave me the same vibes that the bookworm anime did

Like it's cooking, but just not my type?

[somber relic]

the old anime of S&W?

[slender skiff]

I mean the OP is

[somber relic]

there is no way you compare it with bookworm

oh

[slender skiff]

incredibly iconic

Tabi no Tochuu is

Brilliant to say the least

[somber relic]

there is also option to watch Spice and Wolf season 1 and then skip season 2 and read the manga instead

[slender skiff]

Wait fuck was that the OP or ED

LMAO

[slender skiff]

I mean Bookworm had a questionable adaptation (I watched S1 and S2 long before s3 came out)
But I already sensed it was cooking something at the time

Now that I've read the LN

Glad to see my instincts were right

[somber relic]

Spice and Wolf Season 2 adaptation wasn't bad, but it went roundabout to avoid delving into the main plotline.

[slender skiff]

Sometimes 17-18 year old me had good instincts

[somber relic]

I always trust my instinct to pick up book without looking at goodread or google

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slender skiff]

Well

[somber relic]

with picking obscure manga and manhwa as well

[slender skiff]

The other one I give credit to my old self

Is not watching Kuzu no Honkai when it aired

[somber relic]

Kuzu no Honkai's entire starting premise already scream red flag

[slender skiff]

Dat shit is... Definitely not meant for a 17 year old teenager

[somber relic]

if you watch it then you are horny, love shitshow romance drama or both

[slender skiff]

I mean it's like watching a train wreck

Like holy crap

You know what's gonna happen

Yet you can't look away
