Ugh. It hurts to see it over with so many plot threads abandoned. I hope Matsuda's next series manages to get a long run. His real strength is in creating characters that grow (and grow on us as readers) over time, but unfortunately shonen manga isn't always a format where authors are...

Definitely a fun series. It may not be super original, but the art is clean, the plot is decently paced, and the characters are endearing. Oh, and Lento is cosplaying Corvo Attano. Not sure why others are being so negative about it.

@TetraSky "She was too nice to me! I was bullied by her oppressively excessive kindness!"

The translation is solid, it just needs a little more proofreading and editing to ensure that it flows well with proper grammar. Honestly though, overall the quality is more than sufficient. It's perfectly understandable and only very rarely is a line awkward enough to break your immersion...

@Teasday This is why I was so confused with the logic they laid out on their forums; my understanding of Mangadex's policy was that you guys would work to ensure that they did retain control over their scans on the site. The only reasonable conclusion you can draw (assuming you don't think...

@Purplelibraryguy According to their forums, they want to have absolute control over posting their scans. Given that Mangadex allows them to do that and post chapters with a delay to drive traffic to their site, it seems pretty win-win to me for them to post them here. But scanlation drama is...

This is what happens when you let the team that does Dragon Quest localizations out of their cages.

I too am sad without fluff. Fluff for the Fluff God!

@Urabask You're absolutely right, of course. It's a fairly ultra-nationalist series and specific scenes like the one you mentioned are occasionally pretty ridiculous. But it is fun, and it's an excuse to have a bunch of military porn. As long as you understand that it's going to take a...

@Madcat6204 I have a Turkish Angora (of the American Tuxedo variety) and it nails their personality: shy but loving and playful, with a tendency to heavily latch on to a single person. I've had a lot of cats over the years, but this is the only one that is almost dog-like in her desire to...

Given how unsatisfying the ending to the original was, I don't have high hopes for a spinoff. Still, I guess you could hardly do worse.

@stasek0 Isekai usually implies another dimension unrelated to the protagonist's. In this case, it's "just" the netherworld, not a more exotic dimension with no connections to earth. I can see your point, though.

Getting ready for DQXI in a few days got me thinking about this again -- it's still one of most fun pieces of fan fiction ever. I hope it gets a continuation eventually.

My cat assures me that this is a good idea.

You have to admit that the in this chapter feel a bit silly given our recent understanding of what actually happened to them. Still, there's something charming about seeing even outdated theories used as a basis for good storytelling. :)

Wouldn't be the first time that an author or artist who created something decent was a horrible person. While I can totally understand wanting to cut ties with someone like than and not support them in any way, it is also understandable to take the position that the work stands on its own...

To be isekai, a story needs to involve a protagonist from one world (usually ours or one similar to ours) and take place primarily in another. As this story mostly seems to take place on earth proper, I'd question whether it qualifies. Still, for the twist to work it is helpful if people...

This is starting to be really enjoyable. A few more recurring characters with good interplay and I could see it being as good as Kaibutsu Oujo if it gets a longer run.

Aaah~~ Every chapter of this is so refreshing, it feels like I just got out of a luxurious soak in a hot tub.

True, but this wasn't really known until recently. Neanderthal extinction also can't be exclusively explained by interbreeding with modern humans, as there were clearly other factors in play that resulted in their rapid population decline. For anyone interested in learning more about...
