Actually, those are mechanical designs! Joshi Kohei takes places in an alternate theoretical dimension where absolutely every weird thing can make sense. Such as piloting giant mechs that are actually Evangelion-like anatomically correct high school girls.

I thought I read somewhere that flails were never actually used as weapons and are basically fake.

When it comes to weapons history, as always, that's people going too far in the other direction. It's true that some of the existing ones referred to as such were likely things like horse goads instead, but one-handed military flails definitely existed. They're too frequently depicted in art, and there's a couple of extant examples.

What we do know about them is that they were really rare, though. The larger two-handed varieties that were based on threshing flails were much more common.

There's some interesting discussion about it in this article, second-to-last segment; results are pretty much as you said, though. Apparently scholars are still rather divided on the topic.

I feel like if you're gonna ride a talking dragon through the sky, then both of you are obligated by some unspoken univerasl law to be singing gangsta rap at top-volume the whole ride, and I mean with ALL of the words uncensored, even the really bad ones... but that's just me.

Like if you're not symbolically flipping off the whole earth in that situation then it's a wasted opportunity, and not in an okay way.

Nap Ghost

This one is Exterminator which features a dude who's isekaied but still works in pest control.

It's bit too horny and too accepting of slavery to go into the wholesome thread, so be advised if those things bother you.

Shout out to the translator of Witch Watch, who probably had to do a lot of research about denim they will never use again for this one off chapter.

If you can manage to ignore the fanservice, of which there is a bit too much, it's got some surprisingly good gags at times.
Haven't finished it yet though, so who knows where it ends up. I'll keep reading it for the gags unless the fanservice becomes too much.

It is. And there's plenty more panels where that came from. I've posted at least 5 or 6 other panels from there in this thread already and that's still just barely scratching the surface.

I actually found those two things while searching for another different thing.


EDIT: This thing.
