    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    @SeryjVolk— Yes, but cheating is violation of the rules, not violation of what your opponent mistakes for the rules, nor otherwise mere violation of the expectations of your opponent. (And I think that D would not cheat for a win when she could win without cheating.)

    It's a Yuri Manga!! - Ch. 1

    I hope that the story gets better over time.

    Hidamari Sketch - Vol. 10 Ch. 136

    It takes a teacher with a real sense of ethics to accept work that meets the formal requirements while subverting important intentions.

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    While I'm here again, let me suggest that D might have used a very different rule from the one that Monty is sometimes said and often assumed to use. Specifically, D never declared that she were presenting the Monty Hall Problem. So, before the final choice, for all that Kumoko knew, D's rule...

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    @SeryjVolk— If the Doors started with equal probabilities, and if D were known to use the rule that most people just assume, then there would be implicit information that wouldn't be the same as in just coming upon two closed Doors and being told that one would open to a good result and the...

    Hidamari Sketch - Vol. 9 Ch. 125

    The etymology of “pudding” is repulsive. (You could say that it were off-putting.) It comes from a word for bowels.

    Calbania Monogatari - Vol. 12 Ch. 54.2 - The Labyrinth of Her Majesty, Part 2

    @anime06— No, he stopped the assault at stripping-off her panties. His purpose was to leave her feeling that he had rendered her powerless, had humiliated her, and could have raped her. And, because of the broken moral compass of this mangaka — Remember that Ryan similarly assaulted Eque...

    Houkago! (Anthology) - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Plant Appointee and Kase-san

    This prequel actually helped a lot in knitting together the story of Kase and Yamada. The whole thing of course began as a one-shot masterpiece; but, with so much captured and committed in that one-shot, making the story more than just slice-of-life after that first work showed great...

    Usotsuki Satsuki Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Conflict (2)

    @undeadclown— Many of the people who comment to MangaDex are extraordinarily stupid, but I think that some engage in a weird rôle-playing as if stupid. It's hard to sort-out.

    Usotsuki Satsuki Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Conflict (2)

    Aaand it's a misleading cliff-hanger. She put fear into that girl in an attempt to save her life.

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    @justanothermanganerd— What is always given is a sequence of events; what is often not given is why Monty selected that door; but the rule that he uses determines how Bayes' theorem can then be applied. It determines how it applies in the one-person game, and whether Bayes' theorem is useful to...

    Hidamari Sketch - Vol. 9 Ch. 115

    Isn't pretty much a given that if you allow your child to focus on art in high school and that you are prepared to support your child's going for advanced education and that you've not stated otherwise then you expect to support your child's acquiring advanced education in art?

    Useless Ponko - Vol. 7 Ch. 51 - Leaving Ponko

    Ponko and Yoshioka could put-in an order for an eye. If-and-when it eventually arrived, her sister could be contacted, and a swap effected.

    Kill Switch - Ch. 7

    Aaaand Jeongwon just doesn't think of how she will negotiate with Hwayeon, 'cause the author needs characters to be stupid.

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    @justanothermanganerd— No, you are reaching for a cheap solution, and getting things wrong. As I said all depends on Monty's rule for choosing. Monty could be choosing a Door at random, so that there is a chance that he opens a Door chosen by a contestant, even when there is only one...

    It's Maka! Not baka!!!

    @lev-iathan— It has the lowest score after the box is stuffed with 100 pseudo-votes of 8. But it doesn't have the lowest raw score. For example, I Love My Yandere Neko Girlfriend has a raw score of 1.80 right now (while Maka has raw score of 1.88) and I know of one title with a raw score of...

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Daily Life of the Four Spider Sisters - Ch. 67

    @niteman555— If that argument worked, then you should change doors when you can even if Monty never opened one; or, in guessing a coin-flip, always switch from heads to tails or from tails to heads when given a chance.
