    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 37 - This! How Stimulating!

    I am actually legitimately excited to see the character interactions between her and the others. And I really liked how she is very clearly still him under it all. Same heart, new body and spirit. And yeah, "pervert" ... hoo boy. She's nicer than I'd be about the person who had violated my...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 36 - Thanks for the Meal!

    Okay, this is good. I'm in. What a twist that she loves and despises the same person.

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 35 - Humanity is at Risk!

    @GrimReaper007 Thank you for such regular releases! And yeah, I'm going "yes yes yes yes". I've eaten my knight vegetables so it's time for blood princess dessert! I'm so glad to see her kicking butt! @Jet I hear you, I just know they're going to drag that subplot out and it'll just be very...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 32 - How Un-gentlemanly

    YES!! This is all what I wanted! (actually I'd like more internal identity drama but apparently that comes later so I'll behave today)

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 31 - Stepping Forward

    @Jophnny1023 Oh, that was your flourish and not the author's? Oh no. I sincerely apologize to you. Allow me to put my foot in my mouth now. Sorry.

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 31 - Stepping Forward

    Oh, I like trolls. I just like the actual folklore version of them, where they're a lot more ambiguous in nature and have furry tails. The guys here are basically Warcraft orcs with a blue paintjob. Also somehow even less compelling "savage nobility" narrative and lots of empty words about how...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 31 - Stepping Forward

    I'm just gonna say if you need a chart to explain power levels -- and you consider power levels somehow important to the narrative -- you messed up if it's not not naturally in the story itself. Sure maybe it'd involve a touch of exposition but I think I'd rather read that than have so many...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 2 Ch. 29 - How Shameless

    Predictable doesn't mean "bad". Technically J.J. Abrams directed films are impossible to predict but I'd rather brush my teeth with a dry razor than watch any of them. Suspense I feel is vastly overvalued as a quality in popular media culture, but I digress. I enjoyed this chapter. Though...

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    We're not going away no matter how much you hate our presence, so just deal with it. *shades* Back on topic -- ironically I'm perfectly happy with this particular manga being exactly what it is and Yuu as a straight woman makes a lot more sense to me.

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    @Azarel-Sama Hell yeah. Also thanks for giving this thread some levity back, I am actually sorry for venting my frustrations unbidden. And yes, the Yuri Cult can grow infinitely with the powers of TSF

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    Would I be wrong to, though, if you think about it? The Simpsons is animated in South Korea. This is one of those "is a hot dog a sandwich" type conundrums. Ideally I would tell someone looking for a good animated comedy to keep an open mind and try things both in and out of Japan. Not because I...

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    The irony is that if you're to ask most Japanese audiences, they *would* lump them together. In Japan even "The Simpsons" in fact counts as anime. So I'm not making any apologies for lumping stuff together. And on the global whole, yes, GB lesbian energy is goddamn rare in the big picture. So...

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    You guys need to expand your horizons and look at stuff besides Japanese works. Of course yuri will seem over-represented if you're only fixating on one cultural source. Here. http://www.fictionmania.tv There. Hetero GB is objectively not rarer than yuri. Go read one of the very literally...

    A Boy Who Loves Genderswap Got Genderswapped, so He Acts Out His Ideal Genderswap Girl - Vol. 4 Ch. 23

    @Walter_vi_Britannia I've been reading genderswap stuff online since 1998 or so. About 99% of the stories online are some variant of "falls in love with former best friend". Go to Fictionmania or something, you'll find a dragon's wealth of them. Yuri is relatively new because for most of my...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 1 Ch. 20 - A Conspiracy Lurks About

    @blublab123 While you have a really solid point and I agree with pretty much 99% of it as far as it being a writing flaw, I do think there needs to be a caveat. In truth it was pretty normal for generals or other major leaders throughout history to be surprisingly young and rash. Famously so...

    @Obarou You're awesome, thank you!

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 1 Ch. 19 - A "Loli" Captain

    @Obarou Understood, thanks for the details. This manhua is pretty much the definition of a diamond in the rough. I find the story concept to be compelling and even inspiring but the execution thus far is clumsy to say the least. Maybe it's better in the original web novel? But I haven't found...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 1 Ch. 19 - A "Loli" Captain

    I didn't miss the point. I literally said that "it gets better" isn't a valid excuse for a story being unenjoyable. A more competent writer would leave more breadcrumbs or use foreshadowing to keep the reader assured that blonde Kirito will be eating his words. (as well as tasty blood) I am...

    The Blood Princess and the Knight - Vol. 1 Ch. 19 - A "Loli" Captain

    While I don't have a problem with the story per se with regards to the blood princess almost never showing up, I will say this: If I had bought this manhua as a vampire girl fan and I was mostly stuck with this blonde Kirito being bigoted towards vampires for the large majority of the first...

    Onii-chan Is Done For! - Vol. 5 Ch. 44 - Mahiro and the Secret BBQ

    I have to say I'm very much leaning towards the idea that Nayuta is the same as Mahiro as well. While I resisted the idea at first because it seemed like such an easy conclusion it had to be a red herring, there's just a ton of small signs hinting it. -- Compare and contrast Mahiro and...
