Hm, that kid was used as a representation for God in the tower of Babel bit, and now, after the main characters fall into the abyss and appear in her room, they walk on water, bop the teacher with the fixing stick, and cure her depression. I agree with all the suppression and depression...

I kinda feel sorry for the other group, but their translation WAS awful, and this is better by leagues. That said, I think the "how dramatic" doesn't work as well as the "you're exaggerating". From the perspective of "how would he word it" it sounds more believable, but the way Apple Guy...

So, the hole digging club has always been an absurd tendency to waste effort on meaningless tasks right? This month it's framed with Sumida Senpai doing the teachers work so she can devote more time to hole digging (a representation of people's willingness to ignore what must be done in order to...

@NickieTheFool It's not connected in an impactful way. Chi and Yuu have actually made an appearance (they live in the same complex as Shimeji), so I guess it's one of the AU hinted at in the GLT anthology? Also I think some of the class members appeared in the videos Chi and Yuu found at the end...

@RexNemorensis How? This is a story about the characters, not their abilities, so the most important aspects of the characters are who they are. Chise is a fundamentally flawed person with no idea of her own self worth, and that flaw is why she always gets into trouble. She has a flaw that has...

I don't remember Shimeji's love of aquatic animals coming up before. Maybe it's just been awhile. Either way though, I'm not sure if it's suicidal, an obsession with death, or what, but Tkmiz's statement "fish are a metaphor for death" plays with that love interestingly.

@whoamiagain I think it's Hero Aca.

The Anime is an almost exact rendering of the first 45 chapters of the manga. Whether you watch the anime or read the manga is mostly up to which style you prefer, although they did a splendid job with the anime. The biggest note for watching the anime is that there's a 3 episode OVA that takes...

@Deathhappens I'm not well versed in the folklore, which is something I want to fix eventually, but from what I saw, they did explain the Leannan Sidhe about as well as it could have been. While the story wasn't about the details of the Lenean Sidhe, it gave the details, and it used those...

It's monthly. Chapters actually tend to be uploaded here around the same time the previous chapter is put on the official website (I assume that the website runs one issue behind the magazine. The official website's manga is in Japanese of course.). This month appears to have been a break as...
