There's a phenomenon in Japan where a lot of people feel too guilty to leave a store without buying anything.

They will think he’s stealing the magazine he bought at the first store, so he’s going to have to pay for it again.

I do. Especially because I usually spend a lot of time taking pictures of the weird snacks.

They don't have much political power, but they have considerable wealth. According to that article I linked, they are shocked the Queen of the UK pours her own tea.

But apparently they are all relinquishing their titles, and there aren't any other royalty left, so I guess it'll be gone soon.

I once saw the Emperor of Japan from a distance back when he was still the Prince, which was cool.

Where are you getting this?

The emperor has a younger brother who also has a son, so unless they change the laws of succession it’ll just pass to him when Naruhito dies.

EDIT: lmao, apparently the change was even on the table but then dropped immediately when the younger brother had a male heir

Sorry, I meant the royal women. They are only allowed to marry noblemen, but there aren't any left. Aside from Touru.

quote:

Relaxing the rules is popular in Japan, with 84 per cent of people supporting allowing women to become emporers, not least because it would keep the monarchy relevant in an ever-changing world.

But Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe is reportedly against allowing women to rule, believing that because the throne has consistently been passed down through the male line, it should continue the same way.

I also think it's funny that the Emperor's only real job is to produce a male heir, but somehow he failed to even try.

Also, I want to know who was ballsy enough to bully the daughter of the Emperor of Japan. Literally no one is safe from bullying in Japan.

So what's the deal with the princess line? Are the any clues in the Japanese that would make it clear if it's her real name, a nick name or like an online handle? Is she calling herself Hime-chan or something to show she's weirdly conceited or is princess an actual family name in Japan?

She’s probably just a fantasist. It’s a thing. It was in the book (not the film) of Battle Royale too.

Guessing she introduced herself as Nohara-hime. Hime-sama would refer to a princess but you wouldn't call yourself that.

This assumes that young NEET doesn't also have Austin Powers syndrome where he has no inner monologue and accidentally says everything out loud.

The only part of the panels that wasn't inner monologue was when he says "is", thus concluding his self-introduction, which was otherwise omitted.

On closer inspection, her first name may indeed be Hime.

https://jisho.org/search/%E5%A7%AB%20%23names

I might update the panel later if it becomes more clear, but I think I just convinced myself that it's her actual name now that I know it can be a name.
