Can I say that I genuinely appreciate that it took 57 chapters for us to get a map + brief political rundown? When stories front-load that stuff it always passes right through my brain without sticking; here, I'm not having any trouble at all since we've had time to become familiar with the...
All the text on the fifth page is strikethrough’d. What an interesting error! “Give me with your best shot” gave me a good chuckle, too.
Interesting so far.
@jsjunkbox Weird to @ someone for a year-old comment made back when this manga only had two chapters up, but sure, why not.
I can't comment on gendered economic pressure in any society other than my own, but the idea behind the first two articles you linked—and all the studies they cited—is...
Shouko's the most suspicious one at this point.
Supplying the investigation with a specific time window is extremely suspect behavior, first off. She brought something cold, which she could have been planning to place on the stove herself (in order to "prove" the window of opportunity she gave...

Man, the royal guard commander and deputy commander are jeeeeerks. I want to hope that they get demoted, but you can see the royal guard commander standing behind Lucius in the first chapter. Phooey.
I’ll be darned if I know what, but something about this manga really gets me hyped up. It’s tense!
I got mixed up on who was Karna and who was Jamshid at first, probably due to the positioning and transitions on pages 8-11. For a minute I thought one of them was impersonating the other as part...
I’m enjoying this heroine’s particular mix of shameless honesty, practicality, good morals, and having the memory of a goldfish.
@Marchimarch @TheDragonLord Seems like Sofen and the Empire have slightly different spelling conventions and that, combined with her probably never having seen his...
Yeah, fantasy Europe just goes wild for, uh,

emollients.
Fun tangentially-related fact: the ancient Egyptians were big on skin care. Desert climate -> cracked skin, makes sense, but basically everybody used body oils and moisturizers. I'm reading accounts saying...
