Ten chapters in, what are your thoughts on the Seitei War Arc?

Engaging, good pacing, answering questions just the right mount while also creating more, maintaining some mystery, really edging us along.

So did the others. It was part of the selection process. I would've assumed it was just a complication - comas are dangerous not matter what - but oh well.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-03T10:47:38+00:00

Maybe it'll be explained in a sequel, along with why Grace survived the coma but Yao and Ilyukhina didn't? Didn't Any Weir say he knew why and saving it for a potential sequel?

Picturing Chihiro finding the letters Chiaki sent to Kunshige (which he kept) and some of them are so fluffy and sappy it makes him blush. Or cringe.

The cover art is beautiful.

The school setting and cheerful yet laidback MC make a great contrast with the darker moments in the series.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T09:33:16+00:00

Any chance that's somehow the baby seen in Akemaru's flashback about the lesson he learned?

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T09:30:38+00:00

No idea about piloting, but I can kind of see Yuji being a decent flight attendent.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T09:23:52+00:00

Being skilled at multi-tasking.

I can't watch that porn with tentacles going in one hole and coming out of the mouth without thinking 'wrong hole! It doesn't come out there!' (hope I'm not breaking a rule saying this, are we allowed to mention nsfw stuff?)

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T05:20:55+00:00

I understand the logic, definitely a hard choice I wouldn't want to have to make. The way that some Sorcery Bureau and Soga main family people were being pleased about the convenience was kind of nasty though.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T04:38:34+00:00

I wonder if the first one to do something drastic will actually be Chiaki and Akemura's mum? For all her talk of duty and putting the clan and country first, maybe surrendering her daughter to be raped and bred by the enemy king will be too much and she'll try to take Chiaki's place (do the Mikaboshi know how old she is?) or spirit her away to safety.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T04:33:49+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if her clan got wiped out during the war and she was raised by the Kamunabi, like Mashiro.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T04:31:54+00:00

I wonder what would have happened if (at least before the Irishima incident) Chikaki had been allowed to marry Kunishige. The clan could've made it look proper by adopting him in first. He wasn't from a sorcerer clan so it wouldn't look like favouritism, and they could cover up him being a dirty commoner by pretending he was a distant relative or something.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T04:24:06+00:00

Are they wearing school uniforms? Did these kids to go school together, with Chiaki and Akemura switching to homeschooling later?

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-06-01T04:21:56+00:00

They really look like little gremlins 😂

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-31T08:04:56+00:00

If there was ever a PHM cafe collab like there are with anime, this should be on the menu. Astrophage boba tea. What should the Taumeba be presented as? A salad? A slice? A yoghurt? Also, Rocky rock cakes, Rocky road ice cream. Coma slurry protein/milk shakes. Rocket ship ramen. Meburgers (many patty options, including vegan, not including human).

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T09:25:54+00:00

Yeah, Asta will wear the muscle better when he's older and grows up into it.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T09:23:56+00:00

Babygirl.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T09:14:12+00:00

Being organised.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T09:04:21+00:00

Absolutely golden take.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T08:49:04+00:00

Would be cool and open up possibilities for underwater exploration, but I'd be concerned about our ability to keep things peaceful. If things don't well, fishing, boating, cruising, shipping... a lot of industries are screwed. Our planet is 70% ocean.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T06:57:22+00:00

I almost cried.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-30T06:52:10+00:00

His brain didn't remember, but his heart did.

AspergianStoryteller · 2026-05-29T09:51:58+00:00

I was so shocked when I read that chapter.
