I recognize this one! I think it was in another collection with stories by several authors.

While the chapter's story was a fun ride, I meanwhile am still stuck on the illustration on the table of contents page. That is surprisingly graphic for a shoujo manga.

I read this at my local library, and one of my favorite stories by Tezuka. It's an incredibly deep and complex story that explores the kinds of loss and tragedy that came from WWII on every front. Some of the scenes/characters/tropes haven't aged well—one of the main characters rapes a woman at...

Okay, this is either Kaitou Kid, orrrrr it's Vermouth. Probably Kid since this seems like it's supposed to be a lighthearted one.

Yep, MC kinda has no choice but to be involved in politics. His "Evil God" status kinda guarantees he'd be dragged into politics regardless of his desire. Kudos to the author for not making him actively seek out political reform and such though. He only got involved in the first place because...

@falconuruguay As a writer I am taking notes, but I am also slightly afraid to know where you got this knowledge.

@IsolatedPhoenix She works with Lau, the shady Chinese guy who works with Ciel sometimes, as a bodyguard. She's not a major character by any means, she's just been given an upgraded role this time.

I want to thank Death Toll so much for your work on this. Ouroboros is one of my all-time favorite series, and definitely one of the ones that's made me a die-hard fan of Death Toll. I fell behind on it at some point as I got busy with life, so I got to binge the final arc. Reading the end was...

I like how even Kogoro used a cipher instead of a plain message. xD As for the motive:

Okay, can I say just how awesome it is to see the main antagonist from being someone to defeat, to someone a hero has to protect from OTHER heroes?

Woah. That is one of the more extreme body maulings I've seen in a manga. Not the most explicit, but dang that looks BAD.

@Shinketsu: Basically another group randomly translated the last chapter (and ONLY the last chapter), and it made the original scanlating group lose motivation for a while.

@Vergift In Kurenai's defense, fighting wouldn't have done her much good during this arc since killing Deido would allow the invaders to enter Souboutei. She's been plenty badass throughout the rest of it, it's just been a while since she could show off. I also don't get people saying Oujin is...

Frankly I'm surprised he even tried to negotiate with Deido instead of skipping straight to killing him. I guess he just wanted the experience of seeing Deido do something HE said for once.

I firmly believe Rumi is Asaca (the bodyguard), and kept the bishop piece as a memento of Haneda's death and a reminder to look for the culprits. Gosho has the pattern of having multiple red herrings, with one or two being good guys investigating the BO for their own reasons. Also, having Rum be...

@aigomorla I just binge-read this series, and the impression I got is that the previous evil god had immortality as his power, and she volunteered to receive it instead somehow. At the very start Yusuke was asked what power he wanted, and he chose customization without really thinking because he...

@Snakeykid1 Splatter Film is still on the site, but it's part of a different anthology volume, New Voices in the Dark.

@lovolo It's basically an enchanted fairy forest. Names have power in stories about fae, which is why it never gives anything a proper name. mister_nobody sums it up very well in his comment.

I followed this since high school, and I'm only just now reading the end about six years later. The ending really was great, the sudden transition to color was perfect. This is one of my all-time favorite series. Now if only someone would pick up the other series in this universe.

Honestly the old woman's description of parents using words to curse their kids like that all around the world is on point. It's obviously more supernatural in her case, but even without supernatural power, the amount of power words alone can create is horrific and disturbing.
