Ooooh, okay! I read the last speech bubble, "You're a guy, Akira! A guy! A guy!" as coming from Akira, which I interpreted as either "I, as an actual boy, shouldn't be charmed by being treated as a girl", or "I, even though I'm an actual girl, must keep pretending to be a boy" (e.g. to keep...

The manga description “Zero Sum's first appearance, a child-rearing heart-warming comedy drawn by Otama!” had me scratching my head, because I read it like “Zero Sum” was supposed to be a character from another manga, but it means “Otama's debut in the monthly Zero Sum manga magazine”.

Oooh, now I get it, Upsaara is Uppsala.

I'm kind of annoyed with how the bed-sharing event was presented: touching, blushing, heartbeats, speaking of being a family, focus on bust and hips, sudden movement to take her hand and shoulder, what seems to be the start of a confession of love (or lust), and, in the following chapter, shiny...

@Simpleton In case you're serious, I wrote “‘as you know I am your father’ writing”, not “writing ‘as you know I am your father’”. In other words, I was talking about whether or not the kind of literary style of exposition-through-dialogue where characters state known facts for the sake of the...

@shyevsa A probably better alternative to text heavy boxes could be to have the guy be ignorant. Like, he already has no feelings about his situation, just let him be unaware as well, then the info dump would be justified. Something like “Good work.” “Thank you. What's the next mission?” “There...

“As you are well aware, your name is Blah Blah and you are blah years old and your job is to blah blah…” I'd honestly prefer a long info dump text box to dialogue like this. (Just wanted to pile on the shitty exposition.)

Last page dude be like

In “Vol. 11 Ch. 247.5 - Afterword” the scanlator notes that the author is 68 (at time of publication, 2017), and I want to recall having seen that somewhere else as well, but in February her Japanese Wikipedia page was updated (without reference) to say she was born in 1980, so “only” 40. Does...

I figure I'm not the first to make this observation, but it's kind of interesting that her nipples are only shown in her delusions and such.

Huh, she only had her memories for a month? My initial guess was that a girl had reincarnated as the protagonist and (inadvertently) changed history since early on, making it so that what would have been the rich, spoiled villainess grew up poor and humble. Though now that I think about it, that...

@xXPenisXx Aah, right, thanks.

I don't understand that family tree. They're cousins, not siblings? Alexis is the only one who's actually the king's child? But they all still call the king “father”? Is it some kind of adoption thing to stabilize the royal family? 🤔

— Think about it. She’s out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows. She looks around her, what does she see? Nothing but open space. “Oh, there’s nowhere for me to run, what am I gonna do, say no?” — Okay… that seems really dark though. — No, no, it’s not dark. You’re...

@elixir6 Read the numbers, my friend! Just follow the grid: left side height, right side kg, bottom age. The upper collection of lines is height, lower collection is weight. The middle line in each is the mean, with standard deviations (SD) above and below. If you don't know what SD's are...
