@okaerin These ponderings are inconclusive because there are too many variables that contribute to what they're questioning in the first place. Some things (among these variables) stand out, as you've mentioned. Comparing oneself to this "'anti-sexual freak'" may prove to alleviate the...

I wonder why a lot of stories always have these characters that are so reluctant to express their interest in sexuality; as if it's morally reprehensible or wrong. The fixation on this archetype of characters is strange, and they don't seem in-line with reality, which takes you out of what...

Word of the day: osculation, the act of kissing.

@kira0080 You can't always win the argument and look like the cool person. It's also worth noting that a narcissist will never admit that they are in the wrong; they will warp the truth and project their wrong-doings onto you. This is what we saw in this argument. Most people aren't clever or...

It's nice to come across manga like this. Reminds you that the format can pack meaning into its stories if it wants to.

When do I see Kratos?

I agree with the sentiment that Reika is not to blame given that she's in the dark, but the situation that transpired is rather annoying because it could've been easily avoided. And that's the key: "could've." Perhaps the annoyance also stems from the fact that a series of coincidences resulted...

Intense.

@Dragontrainer It does pan out. Interesting theory; I like it.

I would have loved to see more of this series.

A short, but entertaining read. It's a commentary on how attempting to manipulate people will always end in failure. When people sense that there is something greater than themselves, they instinctively cling to that, and reject the social order that binds them. Is the story perfect? No, but...

So do the inactive carrier bodies not need sustenance? They said they'd be back but if something stops them they could risk his sister dying. Also, I wouldn't really trust the firefighter guy. While the objective of the group is to provide people safety, it is also to round people up to avoid...

This is an example of a manga that keeps the main character dumb for the sake of perpetuating a niche that satisfies a particular audience. It's not necessarily a bad thing; if you enjoy this niche you'll be satisfied - but it can be frustrating to read otherwise, mainly because you get the...

@ipmanvsthemask Yup.

I'm a little lost, to be honest.

If the girl's objective is to be with Sousuke doesn't setting up an accident compromise that goal? I suppose you could look at it from the "if I can't have him nobody will" perspective in regards to this situation in particular, but I'm confident that there are plenty of alternatives to stopping...

@Happily_Grim Y'know now that you mention it, it is a trope that pervades a good deal of manga now. While it has been present throughout history, I can't help but feel like it's become more commonplace. I've never personally been a fan, especially since a lot of the romantic tension that these...

@pajamawolfie Why is it that you value waiting until marriage to have sex? I have no problem with it, I'm wondering what the rationale is behind it.

Authentic happiness is more akin to life satisfaction or contentment. Happiness is often misattributed to joy, or a state of elation. I personally find this version of "happiness" to be impractical, especially when considering the hedonic treadmill (people eventually adjust to fortunate...
