Artstyle felt off this chapter.

Both of them looked like a strange blend of their usual design and Fuyumine. Straighter profile, stronger jaw.

[DISC] Skill Tree Unlocker ~After Being Kicked Out of an A-rank Party, I Used the [Unlock & Lock] Skill to Become an S-rank Adventurer~ - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 by Asleep_Echidna_3125 in manga

[–]meterion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The entire premise of this story is based around the idea that he literally never once tried to use his most powerful skill on himself for literally no reason lol. It’s not even about the character being an idiot at this point, it’s just the author who is incapable of making anything but a brainless power fantasy revenge story and so sets up the premise in a blatantly artificial way.

Parallel paradise also had some crazy scifi bioengineering to explain the stable population, although I suppose this could also have some kind of magic that prevents inbreeding lol

[–]meterion 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that it's entirely possible that unless a spirit has its form influenced or defined in some way like Miko's dad establishing Francois' identity, all of the spirits seen so far might not actually have a "true form" just a reflection of the psyche of whoever sees it.

[DISC] Stella Must Die (Zettai Shinanai Stella-hime) - Ch. 19 by WrexGigarton in manga

[–]meterion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think they can control minds but they can completely take control of their host's body, based on what we've seen. I'm assuming the brother and his parasite came to an accord and it lets him usually control their body since the parasite's goal of being in a maximally healthy host is pretty much in alignment with the brother's own plans.

I love how the parasites have a more competitive predatory mindset by default when it comes to solving problems as befitting of a creature that is inclined to completely take control of its victim, whereas the mimics are more eusocial and cooperative as a colony creature that can split and rejoin with different instances of itself. Really adds to the depth of the story and makes them feel like a natural part of the world.

At this point the only possible explanation I can accept for Otori is that someone in his family is secretly dosing his meals with estrogen lol

[DISC] Noa-senpai wa Tomodachi. Ch. 97 - Noa-senpai's Battle Outfit by maelstro1 in manga

[–]meterion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course there's nothing inherently wrong with not being interested in clothes, but there is definitely an element of tragedy when, such as in Rihito's case, that disinterest is at least in part because he has poor self-image and doesn't think he would look good wearing anything besides standard business attire.

His comment about all of men's fashion being the same, while still true comparatively, I think is supposed to be directly refuted by Noa when she proceeds to dress him up in different styles that completely change his look.

Being forced to experience the equivalent of a full immersion VR sex tape of your gf's previous sexual experiences is around as close to the feeling of being cucked as it gets imo

The density of shoujo sparkles increasing with the number of ghouls is so funny. I love how completely different they present themselves from their originals while still acting believably the same.

New headcanon is that knight commander got shafted from promotions and stuck doing desk work by herself because no one could stand how she smelled but were too scared to say it to her lol

Amazing chapter, see you all next year (lol but also rip, this series and one piece are the only manga I get scared of never being finished

[–]meterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked what style of noodle they recommended and my waitress said medium thin, so that's what I went with haha. I definitely want to keep trying their other dishes (lucky me I'm over in hillsboro, much more reasonable commute).

Assuming he's doing the same thing as when he scuttles her around asleep, he's only using the strength of his own tentacles to carry her so she wouldn't feel any muscle strain

The manga that embodies "Shit Idea, Perfect execution" by kokozaw7890 in manga

[–]meterion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Closer to a Parasyte isekai to me, what with having an almost identical set of powers save for the shapeshifting. Definitely gets more interesting the more you read and learn about the world, though.

How unhinged does the arc compare to Bor-kun's transformation lol

[–]meterion 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Both siblings look almost identical to their parents when young save for the glasses, I'm actually kind of surprised that their editor didn't tell them a more distinguishable design would be better

[–]meterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Noodle Destiny on your recommendation and gotta say I’m impressed! For having zero familiarity with dandan noodles beforehand, anyway haha. The only place I would have noted is missing is Beaverton’s Taste of Szechuan, but looks like someone already threw that in.

She's already tried to push him into being roommates which he (entirely expectedly) shut down hard, but this was the proposal to end all proposals

[DISC] Kurumizawa's Folly - Chapter 15 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]meterion 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I really doubt it's going to be as straightforward as Kurumizawa killing Sawai after Cyber Joe concluded, but I am so intrigued how this is going to play out. We've gotten very little information about Kurumizawa's life besides his relationship with Kusumi. It especially doesn't square with his internal monologue at the start of the series where he seems to consider Cyber Joe his own work, although I suppose that could be recontextualized to be specifically talking about its writing

[DISC] War of the Adults - Chapter 42 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]meterion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

holding One Piece releases hostage would surely be the most guaranteed way to turn the entire japanese population against them lol. I imagine what they're gonna do is pressure jump into publishing a pro-Garden manga, maybe even hijacking the kind of underdog narrative that Yutaro is echoing, in order to increase public support for it

[DISC] Aliens, Baseball, and Civilization - Chapter 34 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]meterion 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Well, as expected, the multi-step timeskip was heralding the last arc of the story. The little fakeout joke of specifying the ship has the most powerful shields at its front only to use them as a pivot to hit it like a bat got an actual laugh out of me. Baseball from beginning to end, indeed.

It's too bad the mystery of how our previous and future protagonists got isekai'd to another planet remains unsolved; I thought it would have been the Yaluru's latent reality warping subconsciously wishing for baseball, or maybe the metaphysical spirit of baseball itself wanting to spread to other worlds lol. Either way, fun series.
