Hopefully we get some chapters dedicated to Hina's backstory next. While Ren's predicament is sad in its own way, I want to see why Hina is the way she is. She seemed to get along normally in elementary school, so I wonder what happened to make her pull away socially and get ostracized for it...

@SightWarden It's even more nuanced than that: He feels his interacting with Hina is emotionally damaging to her. Much like a recovered alcoholic often swears off touching any booze lest they relapse, Ren feels if he distances himself from Hina, she won't be tempted into that self-sacrificing...

I dunno what peoples problem is with this series. Them having seemingly intractable problems and relationship is what makes it really interesting to read. And yes, kids really would be that vicious about it at school. They both have this shitty Catch-22 going on where "fulfilling" the other...

@Drifter The first 3 chapters are available in English directly from the author's Booth page here: https://tsure2-children.booth.pm/items/1120807 While that is only 28 pages, the Japanese first full volume is 128pgs available from Amazon here...

@Luke_chase Since the puns are designed to rhyme in Japanese, it requires a lot of creative license to come up with something that rhymes in English. The good news is the rhymes are generally non-sensical in nature to begin with, so as long as it has the same rhyming structure in English, almost...

Tori tori nante kotori was the pun this chapter I take it? These puns are .... killer.

Presumably there is an English subtitle on the manga raw page or something that has the title Engrish like that is my guess. On a sidenote: Is the phrase actually the romaji for Pioneer or is it maybe supposed to be a term more like Vanguard? If they don't specifically spell it out as パイヤニーヤ or...

@Meskie Unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to have any interest in developing any romance angles. The MC is a mix between oblivious and doesn't care. It won't happen, but I think it would be interesting if he brought Esil back through the portal. I assume if nothing else, "the system"...

Everyone knows they're called Apologems 😉

ACEN is a good all-around con that is fan-oriented, has lots of fan-run panels (over 200 a year) and a nice vidya room, etc. ColossalCon I haven't attended, but the side perk to that could be going over to CedarPoint for those that like rollercoasters. AWA I know is the biggest con in the US for...

@Holo I haven't done exhaustive research, but that isn't what I've heard about the subject. It was my understanding that as an unauthorized adaptation, the rights are automatically assigned to the IP-holder who can de-facto let the licensee use it or something like that. That companies asking to...

@eins I would assume it was a combination of charging a subscription fee, putting an app on the Play/App Stores making it seem "legitimate" and intentionally hiding it from the Japan region to mask their presence.

@Xaelath Technically speaking, if they were to actually secure the licensing rights from a Japanese publisher, they could legally use scanlation scripts, since they are unlicensed adaptations.

@Christopher There is a saying which goes something like "You can't (convincingly) write a character smarter than yourself." 😅

@BestBoy The game actually came out in 2007.

Oof, I would play, but having like a 200ms ping would be all sorts of not fun for my main classes if it is indeed hosted in NL.

Just get one of the girls a wig and maybe not have them wear identical outfits. Or give one of them shoes with thicker soles so she appears a slightly different height, etc.

@Seregosa As some others have touched on in the thread, when space is a concern there is always the ebook versions to support them without actually needing stuff to carry around. (Which I'm also recovering from having to move several hundred pounds of manga lol) eBookJapan used to have an edge...

TLDR of the drama: Said group that removed their chapters is profit-motivated and more and more people reading on MD instead of their site was cutting into their ad revenues so they pulled them.

@kiero13 The problem is she understands how her actions have changed the story in her favor with regards being "friendly" with him, but not that others are acting differently due to that as well. Gracie is also acting differently yet she thinks the prince would push forward unchanged?
