@Umairuem Gotta be 20 to drink in Japan.

I looked up the webnovel, and it turns out that it started in 2019 -- meaning it's not too far a stretch to assume that Toshio graduated in 2009. That's about as bad as timing can get at any point in the last generation up to the pandemic. (Also, in the WN chapter, he saw that someone was in...

This... is intellectually interesting, but so far, not dramatically interesting. I mentioned a month ago in the comment thread for the series that it's boring for Chitose to just be right about everything. I'm guessing we're still a ways from the end of the first light novel, so I'm hoping for...

@davidino Hayate the Combat Butler character. Also, is the time-warping thing a joke about how this manga should still be set before those got anime? I think Hayate did similar gags in side material, at least. (The Hayate manga, IIRC, explicitly starts on 25 December 2004 and reaches its climax...

It is plausible that they thought he was okay with it at the time.

My "I'm Not the Cult Leader" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

The best take on this problem, of course, was in The Good Place.

@quagzlor Yeah, as others have mentioned, this is just Olbers' paradox.

@Kurbo We don't even know that it's a warning. Just that at some point in the future, a Foundation agent sends it into the past. As long as that fact remains true, whatever crisis may face the Foundation, there's a guarantee that it'll continue to exist and to have agents. Like how in Bill &...
