What a fantastic finale. What an outstanding series. Top 10 for me, for sure.

I love that it stuck to its guns, that it didn't compromise even in the end, and yet it was still a wonderful ending. I liked that ending more than Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer's ending, which I liked a whole lot.

Story about arrange marriage b/t a HS girl and older guy. I can't decide if it'll be creepy though as I recall being a HS kid wow I'm so old now (younger than 26 though) :bravo2:

Art style looks nice.

^^^ I can't really imagine any sort of "relationship between a teenager and adult" story not being creepy in some way. I mean, stories with that plot are clearly aimed at teenagers (who find the idea of a mature adult being interested in them appealing and aren't experienced enough themselves to know that any adult interested in a teenager clearly isn't a good catch), but any normal, well-adjusted adult would find a 16 year old to be more or less a child in terms of personality and maturity.

I just finished reading Inari Konkon Koi Iroha as well. While nothing amazing, it was pretty good. The plot and ending were solid (though it was kind of unrealistic that she was able to stay happy despite knowing that two of the most important people in her life were about to be erased from her memories), but none of the main characters were very interesting; I literally can't really think of any personality traits for Inari and Koji aside from "good person," and Touka was just randomly an rear end in a top hat towards Uka who became not-an-rear end in a top hat later. Speaking of personalities, Inari has the exact same personality as Madoka from Madoka Magica.

The girl is a pretty good main character so far and the guy being a childish brat and how she calls him on it is funny. The translation is an uphill struggle though -- I wish a decent group would pick it up.

ities, Inari has the exact same personality as Madoka from Madoka Magica.

True, everytime I see a age gap story I'm always :catbert:

Someone is always too immature for their own good there. It's slightly more OK once everyone is 20 or older though.

Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Are those normal names in Thailand (Donut, Ice, Mew)? I know nothing about the Thai language or naming customs. Even if they aren't, it seems like Thai as a language is cursed with sounding extremely strange when heard by English speakers.

I saw Shuuen no Elysion in the new updates list today and decided to check it out because it had 6 chapters already translated and I was kinda bored. It's another josei with nice art and a pretty-boy cast and some BL subtext, so if you like that sort of thing it's about what you'd expect. So far I like it pretty well; it's had some decent takes on some standard jokes (the prince-like female student, a cross-dressing school festival, etc.) and the reincarnation gimmick is actually a bit dark: they're cursed to be perpetually reborn, but instead of being themselves from the beginning they each awaken in a kid chosen to be their vessel, and the kid's original personality disappears. It's been not-subtly hinting at the mental toll the continual cycle takes on them as well.

Might be nicknames or one of those deals where people in Thailand like naming their kids random english words.

...a live action adaptation.

quote:

The December issue of Shueisha's Monthly YOU magazine is revealing on Saturday that Aya Nakahara's (Lovely Complex) romantic comedy manga Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai (Please Love the Useless Me) is getting a live-action TV series adaptation. Monthly YOU will announce more details about the TV series in its next issue.

Well that's something i guess. More importantly why hasn't there been a new chapter in literal ages! I need more.
