@Tearsax I imagine Senpai will find a somewhat kinder way to say this, but yeah, that's exactly where this should be going. Nagatoro is being exactly the kind of wimp that he used to be before Nagatoro started dragging him kicking and screaming out of his comfort zone. If she can't handle it...

@Entryhazard I don't think it was that long ago. The loss could have been as recently as the last year of middle school. She says they started as kids in the same dojo. "A kid" is like what, eight years old. They're sixteen now. If they did Judo together for three years and Nagatoro stopped at...

Completely true to life - every prodigy in their field who becomes accustomed to winning without effort runs into this sooner or later: a rival who has encountered failure, mastered it, and channeled it into an unwavering work ethic. They lose. And suddenly their entire worldview crumbles. Some...

This is what they call a fait accompli. By announcing the whole truth in front of the entire congregation, not only will there be no wedding, everyone will know why, and no one will consider her fit for marriage ever again. There are many ways Edward or her parents could have tried to prevent...

@Lex79 Dude, they basically confessed to each other already. What are you worried about?

Quick! Put money out of your own pocket there to artificially prolong the misunderstanding! You don't want her to find out, do you? We're still well on track for thirty more chapters of forced misunderstandings and a sudden axing leading to a rushed, unsatisfying conclusion! We didn't even...

I mean... She probably got the species right, and it seems like it's a healthy and living specimen! Maybe if she had remembered to also target a specific age category...

Strip away the avalanche of rationalizations that precedes her scheme, and you will find the following truths about Saionji laid bare: 1. She doesn't have any friends 2. She really, really wants to have friends 3. Once she realizes you can be friends with anyone, not just the people your family...

"But, since neither my editor or I knew anything about this, we figured most of the readers wouldn't either, and so it was fine." I am in awe. That is laziness perfected into an art form.

This is just my personal take on translating SFX: ONLY do it if it's simple to do because it's just plain text. If it's woven into the artwork and requires extensive redrawing, leave it alone unless it's critical for understanding what's happening. Like "snap" when someone's broken a bone or...

@JohnJRenns Right, thank you! Then I guess this is feedback the author will never see. It doesn't matter if Miko-chan looks like Reimu, since it's eventually clear that she's Reimu's successor from context. (Same applies to Marisa having gone Youkai.) If anything, the ambiguity over whether...

@ragtime What? Oh, so he is. One might assume that's a bit of information that really should have been included in the post-battle statistics... "Captured enemy rulers: 1 out of 1". It's not like the rest really matters in that case. Now, how does someone as ruthless and ostensibly brilliant...

Was the page 4 disclaimer in the original? It's completely unnecessary, I would think. It's practically a spoiler, if anything.

@Eldistan Writing "tsundere" well is a science unto itself. The issue isn't the harsh behavior on the outside, the key is that there has to be a golden core at the center. Taiga may be prone to violent outbursts, but as the story unfolds she is shown to be noble, caring and self-sacrificing...
