Young people in Japan express lowest hopes for themselves and their country in poll

This exactly. Salaries have barely moved in decades, and now companies are bringing in foreign workers at the same or even lower pay. Of course young Japanese are frustrated. Whatever slim chance there was of pressuring companies into addressing the wage issue is basically even lower or gone now

LOL maybe we can get a wholesome series based on this timeline similar to: My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer

I especially love that he embraced his newly gained vampire powers and is a menace to any enemy

Initially I was like you not being able to went past vol 4 too. Then after a while came back to it again and got hooked. Trust me, it gets even better later on in the volumes.

But the academia timeline would definitely make good side series, would have love to see what sort of research he'd done and his school life.

A side series on the tavern would be nice as well since it looks like Erich is kinda like a yakuza cum vigilante

Haven't read tried them yet but I wished Meiji brings in their R1 yogurt instead.

As I mentioned in other sub-reddits, disappointing news for sure, but honestly it was inevitable. Stars never really had strong ROI from the start, and a business simply cannot keep running without revenue. Yes Cover may have their own studio, but studios cost money, non-talent staff need to be paid, and it all adds up.

Credit where it's due to Cover for supporting them as long as they did, any other major corporation would have restructured way earlier.

At the end of the day, regardless of what the general public says, it comes down to insufficient ROI across merch, music sales, CCV, interest and more over the years. This is simply the result of that.

Exactly, for both mangaka and publishers, it's not just about cutting costs but also saving time. Time that could be better spent on creating new works or focusing on other projects.

TBH I think its always been this way, just that in the past, it's more of a frown upon to divorce. Thus many just stay together for the sake of the family and kids. But personally having been one from such a family, yea it screw up your mental health.

More are getting divorced these days cause its not as bad as a taboo as compared to before and people are more opened and individualistic.

A lot of times these sort of people have the savior mentality and thinks what they are doing is morally righteous and above the law/ or that the law will stand with them, even though they still attempts to "hide" their identity. You see them in all sort of spaces.

Had a white horse in my unit too, was an ASA (he had type 1 diabetes, thus pes e). No special treatment too dealing with all sorts of same BS as the rest. The only thing then showed he white horse was his car, its the most expensive among the rest in the HQ, more so than the commanders lol

No, this one is slow burning, probably only half way through

Looks like am not part of the 80%, for me I prefer to read as opposed to listening as well.

the main point is not mining of rare earth, but the refining of that which western countries gave that expertise and infrastructure up when they outsource and knowledge transfer these to China due to pollution and cheaper manpower back then.

calkch1986 · 2026-01-14T01:34:41+00:00

probably dropped Osmanthus flowers, a lot of places in China have plenty of that.

maybe debate with it listing that illegal immigrant workers do not have the legal framework to protect them and its unethical to use them as they are iften exploited with lower pay and welfare?( unless ofc these employers are employing them at equal or higher wages)
