It's back! It's back!

@Dr_Harnsaft Nothing. Her name isn't even mentioned in history. She's here to give a link to her hella famous and historically important clan, as the Shimazu are basically responsible for the existence of modern Japan. @Xscalon The Tang fat lady is a fairly well-documented phenomenon, although...

@Aoitenshi @Bhavna The majority of Japanese (and other East Asian) men have a genetic condition that delays metabolization of alcohol. The condition is sometimes called the East Asian alcohol flush. I have it, so I have to limit my drinking speed when I do go out to drink. It doesn't really...

@UnluckyGrape @Waifuhunter101 Modern refined sake is 18-20% alcohol, although bottling laws usually require the sake to be sold diluted to 15%. Modern Nigorizake (cloudy sake) tops out at 17% undiluted, but this is mostly due to modern brewing methods and the use of added alcohol in the...

This is an alternate history tale of Matsunaga Danjo Hisahide, the infamous betrayer of all during the end of the Sengoku period in Japan. You know, the creepy treacherous old dude in most games and anime set in the era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsunaga_Hisahide

@hippoanon It's a kind of bread sold by Hana's favorite donut chain. Shaped like a pair of butcheeks.

It's been over 20 years since I last read this story. I'd forgotten how casual the old-school racism was in it. Lol.

@Oeconomist While Japan is generally a safer place than the US crime-wise, they do have some really strict laws about residential safety and security. A lock busted open by a locksmith, even if it isn't damaged in the process, must be replaced simply because a locksmith already busted it open...

I like how when presented the choice of either getting to a highschool or fighting mom to the death she went straight into battle, lol.

Oh, I just realized an important conceit of this manga: The power must never be Shouko's, because her imagination can run wild and she may manifest extremely dangerous things that are out of this world.

@tanooki Adult adoption works differently in Asian cultures. Its primary purpose is usually not to perpetuate the family business but the family name because women can't pass on the name. Because the intent is to perpetuate the family name a marriage would be preferred over adoption in a...

So, wait, her last name in kana is ko-rus-hi-fa. So, ko-Lucifer? Does that mean little Lucifer or a co-Lucifer, as in a partner?

@AceTheBase Frieren needs to get a new mage certificate because hers is obsolete.

Who's Amano supposed to be? He isn't one of the seven.

@millenialboomer That's their politicians. All modern nationalist politicians aren't true nationalists the same way there is no truly Christian televangelist. They're just con men using nationalistic sentiment to propel themselves to power by sabotaging their countries' foreign relations and...

I'm confused... technically the girl IS wrong. He actually isn't a racoon. However that's because he a racoon dog, which isn't exactly a dog either... so what is truth anymore? What is reality? Why do we live in such an ambiguous world? WHOM CAN I TRUST???!!!! Oh, look, cute tanuki eating apples!

Grandfather Voll is unnaturally old for a dwarf. 80 years had passed from when he met the hero party and that's nearly a third of the normal dwarven lifespan. Eisen might not be as "safe" as some think.

A slimy Hatsune Miku!
