Next comes the sacrifices to the Goddess... that last page with the altar and the drumming and the Makoto-dolls was quite terrifying. SOCKS FOR THE SOCK THRONE!!!

@MarqFJA87 It's made clearer in chapter 20 that "tail-face" refers to Chastel's ponytail.

@feha Skulls are only really strong because of their domed shape, like eggshells. That shape spreads the load most efficiently but disrupt the structure with fractures and holes and most of the skull's compressive resistance to collapse under load disappears. You can repair them if they are...

@Blabladodo SKULL FOR THE SKULL THRONE Is it OK if it's got a hole in it?

@Tsudow Ads on this website -- either Mangadex go with one or more advert aggregators who will pay them mucho bucks to post any ads they get paid for themselves on this website, or Mangadex spend time and effort finding ethical advertisers and validating every individual advert sold to them to...

"Yamato Nadeshiko"? Really? That's her name? for those that might not recognise the reference, Yamato is a historical name for Japan and combining it with Nadeshiko it roughly translates to "The epitome of demure elegant Japanese womanhood".

@Kiraidesu The message calling for volunteers William posted on the wall is a modification of the newspaper advert reputedly published by Ernest Shackleton who was planning a trans-Antarctic expedition to take place in 1914 -- "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long...

I learn something new every day -- there are actually people who DON'T put piles of pickled ginger on their "U"shinoya gyuudon? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

@BananowyJE Hooo boii, she can say goodbye to that cute shirt now. So? What part of CURRY UDON did you miss? And for 500 yen? Jeez, last time I bought curry soba in a low-rent place in Tokyo it was 800 flipping yen (the beer was cheap though). I want to know where that place is, GPS...

@Redice This new armour is not cosmetic but it's not the sort of gear to equip when fighting a single game boss, it's more suited (haha) to fighting big lower-powered mobs. He's also got a lot of extra status boosts and level-ups from fighting Origin, the last boss at the start of the series...

@YukariTakeba It's Red.

I was sorting through some old backup discs and found my copy of the first three chapters of Ben-to. They were tagged "Anonymous Translations" and there's no details about who did them so I figured there was no harm in me uploading them to Mangadex. Funny silly shonen school battle manga, the...

A nice series. I visit Japan quite often and even in the big cities you can turn a corner, turn another corner, head up an alleyway and the history is still there, old wooden buildings covered in ivy two hundred yards from a major-league baseball stadium, a shrine dedicated to Sumo wrestlers in...

Great little manga, this. There was a short OAV anime released as a special DVD with one of the original series. You might be able to find it subbed in the Usual Places.

Chobits: Loser picks up trashy girl, turns her on. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Lesbian robot bikers with guns roam a post-apocalyptic land. Aria: Young girls are trained in public service in an Italian setting. Gunslinger Girl: Young girls are trained in public service in an Italian setting.

@HYBRID_BEING The nobinobi option is what I use since it's free for JR pass holders (and it saves me renting a hotel room for a night). Note that the last page of chapter 18 shows Funatsugi-san standing at the platform marker for car 5 of the Sunrise Express, that's one of the nobinobi cars...

"Sunrise Express"! Yes! I've been on that train a dozen times -- it's the only scheduled sleeper train service left in operation in Japan, running between Tokyo and the south. The train splits in two at Okayama, half of it goes to Izumo in Shikoku.

@MarqFJA87 The raws have her "nickname" as "フォル" (Fuoru) so "Fal" is maybe a bit of a stretch -- I'd have gone with "For" myself. Her full name is "ウォルフォレ" (Wuorufore) and yes, I know the ウ character (Vu/Wu) is a bugger to transliterate into an English-language phoneme, never mind the ウォ...

@ranzo The classic Tennants TV advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX9h558Tz1E As for Scotland, the scariest parts are the towns and cities, not the wilderness. Sauchiehall Street Glasgow on a Friday night, the goblins and hairies and bawheids, brrr.
