    Sincerely: I Became a Duke's Maid - Vol. 2 Ch. 48

    I'm usually down for all kinds of sappy developments and romantic clichés, but that accidental fall was just so...contrived. Like, really? There wasn't a way to introduce the necklace that didn't invite an unnecessary love triangle setup? 🙃

    The Ravages of Time

    Ravages of Time is, for me, the OG of my manga/manwha/manhua experience. Before I read pretty much any other manga, I read RoT. Here's my overview of it, for anyone who cares enough to read it. :P [What is Ravage of Time?] Ravages of Time is a manhua that retells the iconic Romance of the Three...

    Ad Astra - Scipio and Hannibal - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    History note: given that the manga says the Roman consul (pg. 24) is Caudinus, this likely is referring to Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Caudinus (not to be confused with Publius Cornelius Lentulus Caudinus, who served as consul the next year). In case anyone's interested in researching the history. :)

    A Story About a Grandpa and Grandma Who Returned Back to Their Youth - Vol. 2 Ch. 40 - Grandma's Memories

    Holy shit, grandma's family owned a Zaibatsu. That...I did not see coming. It'd be like being a corporate princess and falling down to commoner status.

    The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent - Vol. 5 Ch. 24

    I honestly love these mangas where everyone -- even the scanting group -- just dumps on the idiot character the moment they gets their comeuppance. It's always so much fun to read all the "Get rekt!" or "Get fucked!" comments. 😂🤣 I'd be remiss not to contribute as well, so... GET REKT, KYLE

    Realist Maou Niyoru Seiiki Naki Isekai Kaikaku - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    @huttingham Actually, the term really is realism. The problem is that it's not well-explained here what realism means -- honestly, it'd only really make sense at face value to people who study political science and international relations. Given the premise of the story, the...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 23 - March to The Capital

    @criver, Thank you for the response. Now that we are somewhat on equal footing, as you have laid our your arguments and I mine, allow me the following rebuttal. As you have established the protocol, I will place my rebuttal in Spoiler tags as well.

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 23 - March to The Capital

    @criver, just as being too long-winded can be bad, so too can being overly concise reveal logical problems in one's positions. I try to be as complete in my comments as possible because I was taught that sound arguments should be based on evidence -- thus, to outline one's case, it is necessary...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 23 - March to The Capital

    I'm not sure I agree, @criver, though I concede I can see where you're coming from.

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 23 - March to The Capital

    @reika, That's just it -- I'm proposing that it is revolutionary to them. To be very clear: supply trains continuously running from one's home domain to the front lines was not a thing in the Sengoku era -- at the very least, not when taking into consideration how military logistics work since...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 23 - March to The Capital

    @pburgund is right, @reika, @criver. Military logistics right up until the Early Modern Period were pretty basic. The concept of a continuous supply train bringing additional supplies and reinforcements to the front line was basically non-existent. This is because the concept of logistics up...

    Youjo Senki - Vol. 14 Ch. 39 - Trial by Fire V

    That François BSOD was equal parts hard to read and similarly satisfying. When you play with militias and legal interpretations of their combat status, you play with fire.

    Youjo Senki - Vol. 14 Ch. 38 - Trial by Fire IV

    I have to admit, this manga actually highlights some of the most pressing and concerning issues with international law in the starkest, most morally horrifying manner possible. A lot has been said already about whether or not Tanya and the Empire were "wrong" in carrying out the massacre, but...

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 5 Ch. 22 - Gunpowder

    I'm honestly surprised there wasn't more of a freakout by Nobunaga and his generals (or even Nouhime) at what Shizuko had just accomplished. Gaining a domestic, expandable, reliable source of saltpetre that is not under the control of foreigners? I'm surprised they didn't immediately grab her...

    Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator - Vol. 3 Ch. 16

    @Serkket @Doomer Replacing a Royal Family isn't that easy. In fact, in Europe, it was damn near impossible once the concept of feudalism got entrenched. Aristocratic societies do not generally tend to favour strong, central governments (i.e. an autocratic monarchy/absolute monarchy) because it...

    Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator - Vol. 3 Ch. 16

    @AgentKuga The prince-regent's plot was essentially to put Rovel in an impossible position where he'd have to somehow "sacrifice" his daughter to protect the integrity and position of his family. He would do this by pointing out via rumour that Rovel's sister-in-law (correctly) was being...
