Is "bullying the weak" a more common phrase in Japanese than english? Fire force (yeah yeah forgive me) had a character who used that phrase over and over.

I can’t speak with any authority here but it’s certainly a phrase I see a lot in manga

The story of a monk and two orphans living in ancient Japan alongside the beautiful, magnificent, and terrifying Kami. And their pilgrimage across Japan. Definitely a hidden gem and one of the best fantasy manga ongoing right now imo. Currently getting new chapters as the scanlation group only works with volume releases so be warned, if you pick this up you can only expect new chapters once a year. The story was also picked up by Yenpress with the first volume coming out in August :woop:

I liked it.

On a similar note, there's Welcome To Hotel Metsäpeura, a manga about a hotel in northern Finland, which I find equally weird but pretty neat.


This is a place I have been to. Manga shouldn't be about places I've been to.

In anime and manga Canada usually gets visited most in romcoms in my experience, usually as a school trip to Vancouver, or the Windsor-Quebec corridor (Toronto, Montreal etc.) I remember one where the male lead is inspired by the Montreal church architecture to pursue that line of work more seriously. As a long term setting I don't remember much if any of them being in Canada.The Rocky Mountains I think get mentioned for ski trips as well, usually either Kamloops, BC or Banff, AB I think. The prairies it's pretty rare to see much of, and even this manga is mostly 'a hotel by a lake in the mountains' which is absolutely inspired by the Fairmont Hotel at Lake Louise, near Banff. Having the one character be in Edmonton and have to fly to Calgary was just funny to me because yeah that's not uncommon for some business people to do. I'm pretty sure the first main scenario in it involves a photo of the Calgary Tower as well. Though it does seem like some of the guests are coming from all over the world and not just Alberta.

Why did they write "Yuna Yunis: Osananajimi" ... *Osananajimi means childhood friend" instead of writing "Yuna Yunis: Childhood Friend"?

search your kokoro for the truth

no idea, I've seen scanlators do that before though, and it's odd. maybe they think they're keeping the Japanese flavor of it?

It was a lot more common with older scanlation teams, but it's a lot more rare now.

Nothing in the history of time has gone harder for less reason than Pop Team Epic's anime adaptation, and that is as shitpost an existence as has ever been. Sometime "funny" is the only reason you need.
