Kaiba beefed up in his later...
This is something I never thought of, and I don't know if this was the intent of the author, but the very nature of strategy games/rpgs/whatever makes it so giving sentience to game characters basically makes them useless trash in a more human setting.
Think about it, NPCs only come in 2...

EDIT: I know it doesn't look like it, but I am actually having barrels of fun deconstructing the manga here. Coming up with analogies to how they are essentially forcefully putting him through the Krypteia rite of passage is so much fun.
I put my responses into spoilers to...
@AbyssalMonkey Princess and priestess are straight up dellusional, although I get that this is the gimmick here. I get this is where suspension of disbelief is supposed to kick in, but that doesn't quite work for me because Kane's reactions always are either completely altruistic or pathetically...
@el_ilm No joke, I actually do feel sorry for the guy because they are not even asking him for his consent to any of this at all. And he doesn't even know they are always nearby, as far as he knows, he's always living on the edge and no one will save him.
It's not like he ever expressed he even...
Jumonji acting as her hypeman was the best. When he showed up, walking slowly towards them doing the cool glasses pose I knew this was going to be great
@Tiorlan I bought vol. 1 and can confirm that is the case.
Just in case there are people who don't get the wordplay in their names and in the title, 『思い』(feelings)『重い』(heavy) and『面井』(her last name) are all read as "omoi". Her whole family has extremely "heavy-hearted feelings" that they express...
@caitsith That's because dryly using the imperative'd be too rude for Japanese standards considering he is running a business(I know the series isn't set in Japan, but these customs are hard to get rid of when you write). Even when you are a complete ass, shopkeepers and staff still politely ask...
@caitsith Pretty sure the 『よそ』in there is meant to be the hiragana for『余所』, which is an admittedly uncommon way of saying "somewhere else".
So I think he's saying "Go somewhere else/Go away" since he thinks she's a commoner and doesn't want to do business with her.
Edit: Oh, someone else pointed...
@ksen I think Ootani's mom made it pretty clear, although it has been clear ever since the time their friends set them up for a movie date: it isn't really as much denseness, rather Ootani is purposefully avoiding Shuri's advances. And she seems pretty close to going feral by now
MU says it's based on a Light novel with 10 volumes.
So yeah, axed, but at least let it be known the feel of "THE STORY ISN'T DONE, OUR ADVENTURES HAVE ONLY BEGUN!" is probably because the story really does continue after this.
Can't remember if they did say his parents split up in the anime, but I always had the feeling. If they didn't say it, it was very much implied. Seiya did say that his parents fought over him and stuff, which wouldn't quite make sense if they were still together. Child stars getting separated...
@zephyroths He is lucky Jesus.
No crucifyings in Tadashi's future.
And speaking of which, Jesus, this series is amazing. It's gripping, inventive and hilarious at the same time. The author needs to make it.
Regardless of art style, the dude is seriously talented.
