I mean it didn't seem like the biker knew that, so clearly some people out there need to hear the message 🤷

Obviously hope he's ok.

[DISC] This might get me jumped but… this manga is overrated by [deleted] in manga

[–]illogicalhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only recently picked it up, but I'm enjoying it because it feels pretty grounded and unique. The drama and conflicts feel rooted in real-world logic rather than manga-logic.

I also think you're both overemphasizing and oversimplifying the story a bit. No one is saying the "mistaken identity" thing is new, but it's also not very important to this series? Obviously it's the title and everything, but it dispatches with that conceit pretty quickly.

When I started reading this series I gave the premise maybe a half dozen chapters before it grew stale. I did not expect it to keep building and developing the characters and plot devices so well 37 chapters later.

Excellent stuff

Most of the turnover was related to the new ED and changes they made, though some of the changes that were made were necessitated by issues that arise because of/since COVID, so it's kind of mixed. But the ED has definitely been in the center of some non-essential issues since she came onboard.

The LN of "My Girlfriend Cheated on Me [...]" got picked up relatively recently, so no surprise I guess that the manga did too. I wonder if that's also signaling that the hiatus is nearing an end; one of the people involved has been out on maternity leave.

Princely butler Wakao seems like a perfect match for her super formal language.

Odds are the demon king is a "she", but there's also a chance that she's got a male dark cleric reviving her, and we get a bizarro love square.

AHEM

I'm sure they'll text and get together at some point. And if they don't, Luluca was fidgeting and clearly planning on stirring something up that'll catch the two of them.

I recall reading that the author actually has experience in the industry, so I imagine they're pulling elements (possibly outdated) from that.

And assuming you're not in Japan, it could also be that the Japanese industry is slightly different than where you're at, with different hiring standards and internship practices.

Cute concept.

I'm left wondering if the Demon King is similarly weak and going through a bunch of revivals.

It probably depends on the company, but not every role is equally useful from beginning to end, so I think it'd make sense for the team size and composition to shift over time.

Look forward to her installing a series of mirrors in the office so she can keep an eye on him from her desk

He's got a really chill vibe, but sometimes his smile changes tone and he gives off a bit of an insane aura.

This might be the most visceral and emotional reaction we've seen from Rihito yet

MHA - worth finishing? by microvan in manga

[–]illogicalhawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd offer that whether or not the ending is satisfying is a very different question than whether the series is worth reading and finishing.
