my distaste for the idea scales with how large your home town is tbh. like my home town is less than 5000 people so im related to basically everyone by marriage. but if someone was from like, a real city and still somehow marrying a relative it would be an overpowering amount of yeehaw bullshit

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



they were actually second cousins, and they'd been legally divorced for a year before the annulment was granted by the catholic church for the whole "being cousins" thing.

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

I was also famously a political marrage too. I belive that it was rumored that Eleanor was having an affair with her secretary.

does not clicking/tapping on the image expand it?

anyways, my point is that currently the kanokari fanbase (on reddit at least) have taken the effort to whine or make fun of the series in comments rather than halfheartedly giving an upvote compared to anything else that's been getting chapters lately. see also the twitter ratio in general where particularly unpopular threads have more comments than retweets or likes

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
So Shueisha has been running a Manga Creator program where anyone can publish their own manga directly (subject to their discretion), and each month they pick 3 submissions to feature on their Shonen Jump site Manga Plus, paying the creators a minimum of 100,000 yen. I'm mentioning this because it's important context for the following images:

plainly, most manga reddit threads have a upvote:comment ratio of 5:1 or 10:1 for the most popular stuff, if a thread is hovering around a 1:1 ratio or less, that means people are actively downvoting it either because they're genuinely displeased with how the series is going or they're just having a bit of fun, which i found funny. i think it was actually a good indicator of a series' controversial qualities when mangadex was down and then didn't have any ratings at all for a time, so you could avoid the series because it was a trainwreck or start following it because it was a trainwreck

I actually wasn't familiar with one of those series (Death March) but when I checked NovelUpdates it has the tag "slave harem", so to reiterate:

Yeah, don't a lot of mangaka have their start making porn? IIRC the guy who does Black Lagoon started off that way, along with just about every ecchi manga author. If someone can make a workable manga just by taking out the naughty bits and addign in a panel here and there, more power to them.

I think Death March is the one where the guy finds some slaves in a dungeon, their owner just died in there, so he takes them as his own. Freeing them is never even considered, not even a handwave "they'd be tracked down as escapees" or something.

Yeah, a lot of people in the industry get discovered from some Doujin circle or another. Akimatsu famously did FFVII stuff before Love Hina, and the animation director for GaoGaiGar Final did a whole bunch of fetish stuff.

The big thing is that Japan's humongous independent comic scene and independent comic-to-professional pipeline makes this very visible.

You can bet most western artists draw all the same stuff, but if it's distributed at all it's through a pseudonym on tumblr or whatever site is popular now.

The dude bankrupted his company producing erotic animated features.* His sexy mice women were the least surprisingly thing in the world.

I hate shield hero so much. The main character buys a slave, forces her to fight terrifying monsters, and tortures her when she too paralyzed with fear to fight. Oh, and he buys her a happy meal one time. Now if it was me, and someone enslaved, tortured me, etc, I would really hate them. Also, I’d probably have lifelong ptsd. And, you know, even if they bought me a happy meal once, I think I’d still hate their guts. But slave girl loves the main character, in fact, that’s her entire personality. I can’t believe people liked this garbage so much they made an anime out of it.

Yes, I know, source your quotes, or whatever.

May I take a moment to bring up something, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mention how horrifying a person Naofumi really is. Most people, if you told them that torturing a child was the only way to save the world, would be extremely reluctant. They would try to find any other way. Not Naofumi! He doesn’t even blink. Torturing a child is his FIRST plan.

It's an absolute garbage show and while I normally don't judge people for liking garbage, that show is just so aggressively misogynistic that I can't help but side-eye anyone who professes to be a fan.
