Akamatsu likened the criticism from the global gender equality organization UN Women as "external pressure" to regulate Japan's "freedom of expression, especially for manga, anime, and games" and that such pressure is not new."

Description rather than a comment butquote:Tanya Artemisiov is a talented Mage-class adventurer who just got kicked out of her party by a sexist scumbag. So what's a girl to do? Go to the wasteland and blow stuff up of course! One small problem though: she inadvertently frees a mythical Sorceress named Laplace who was sealed away for the past 300 years...

I couldn't even make it like 50 pages into it. It's pretty light novel even for a light novel. Maybe it was funnier in Japanese, but it came off like a child's understanding of how patriarchy works + bad attempts at jokes + a lot of like power fantasy type stuff. lacks any real conflict in the narrative at least in the part I read. maybe it has that later but i doubt it

It's at least a power fantasy with a different target audience from usual, and pretty fun if that's what you're in the market for.

It's dogshit not worth the electricity needed to display it on my computer screen and the pacing is slower than continental drift. It is currently in an arc that is somehow slower than Waterpark Namek. It's trash and I read it every week, see you all next issue.

I can't judge anyone for reading trash every week, seeing as I keep picking up new isekais, but I am definitely glad that I dropped this series after checking the wiki convinced me that he was never going to progress the relationship.

The good news is the world has other rom coms to watch and read.

all i know is cousin marraiges are legal in parts (maybe all?) of america. and some manga i read once claimed it was in japan but its not like i fact checked it or something. i don't really know of anywhere that it isn't considered weird. except india i guess according to this dude. anyway i don't think thats the kind of creepy incest relationship that gets the cops called on you lol. im pretty sure thats more the 'really big fine for tax fraud' kind.

That's quite a post... and the guy would be shocked to consider that telling a girl who she's going to marry from the time she's old enough to understand language is also frowned upon, but a lot harder to prove than "marrying your niece"

I have an older student from Pakistan who told me she is married to her first cousin ("How did you meet? "We are first cousins so we grew up together"), and that that is pretty normal there. The rest of the class is from all over Latin America as well as Korea and Vietnam and they admitted that would be unusual for them.

Cousin marriage is legal in a few states in the US and the entirety of Europe (though widely considered freaky). It’s the one moral leg-up americans have on the old continent

Eleanor Roosevelt didn't have to change her name when she married Franklin, cus they were from the same side of the family tree.
