Here is my summary of that comic:

Two entitled rich kids manage to independently misinterpret japan's complex unspoken system of minor social hierarchies into believing that the person who asks someone out on a date first automatically becomes the bitch in the relationship somehow. Both being spoiled narcissists, they each insist that they must be the ones to wear the pants in their future relationship they assume is inevitable. This of course is all just a rationalization to not have to initiate the weirdly formal and overblown way japanese highschool students apparently ask each other out. They proceed to spend the rest of their highschool life playing passive aggressive mindgames trying to convince the other one to crack and appear emotionally vulnerable so they don't have to. Meanwhile the japanese population slowly grows older as the younger generation refuses to have children for some reason.

sounds good

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
Oh yeah it's a blast.

Just read the whole thing in one go. It's a very interesting mix of supernatural and science, using the latter to explain the former but not entirely debunking it or dismissing it as nonsense.
I thought I'd hit a cliffhanger since it was listed as ongoing, but it's actually finished, so that was nice.

I felt like it took an ungodly long time for anyone to even bring up the notion that the love letter went to the wrong girl, since that was the first thing I thought of. But unreliable narrator/protagonist, so what you gonna do. And it fits with the whole 'people only see what they want to see' thing.

Huh. My first thought was "this sounds/looks a lot like Mouryou no Hako" and, right enough, it's from the same author. Same series, even.

Neat.

Love Buzz (only two chapters out from the existing completed 3 volumes but it shows promise)

quote:

Pro wrestler Fuji Kaoru disappeared one day during a match. Now five years later she shows up again at her old gym unnanounced, with her five-year-old daughter in tow. But not everyone is ready to welcome her back with open arms, especially her former best friend Yuri, whose anger and hurt at Kaoru's betrayal are far deeper than Kaoru ever imagined.


The Hero is Dead!
Idiot loser villager sets a spike pit trap to kill a demon attacking his village, accidentally kills the Legendary Hero with it instead. As punishment, he has to become the Hero himself. Every single person in this series is an idiot, ESPECIALLY the MC, and except the main girl(and sometimes even then).

I thought the second page was a continuation of the first, and he just blocked the ground to negate the fall damage.

There's precedent for that.
