One thing that boggles my mind about this is that there are just... Japanese people here? The gradual change in cultures blends at the edges of each people, so its super weird to see fantasy Eurfauxpeans crammed right up against Feudal Japanese without any cultural overlap or blending at the edges

Please tell me the editing gets better, this is hard to keep locked in on the story

Ma'am I think your spine is broken https://i.postimg.cc/nhxmqbN0/i.png

Wish I read this sooner. That oneshot was so fuckin' good.

So, I need to know, does the actual serialized manga pale in comparison to the oneshot? I feel like the oneshot was grittier and more down-to-earth despite the fantastical elements. A tong running a prostitution ring? Animal people and fantasy creatures coexisting with humanity? A mysterious beastman who helped out Sister Tao when she was a kid, obscured by a single panel with an outstretched, suit-cuffed hand?

I honestly feel like the sorta "urban mercs taking out the vaguely supernatural with a young man who punches way too hard and has anime fangs plus a gun-toting dommy mommy who is bitter and jaded but can't turn down someone truly in need" is better than what's going on in the serialization. A secret maga hunting group? A troubleshooter as a front? Kinda... boring.

I'm hoping that the art can take me to better stories later in the series

So, that "don't bully the weak" shit only works for the weak who are bullied. Eradicate bullies, especially if they're weaker than you. Ignoring the weak bullies is how you allow the bullied to suffer. Use their blood to mark territory and keep others safe.

Brother, at this point, Qianqian would probably be kickin' ass and building sects. I think she's a better pick for sect leader, rn, lol

Ayo, a manhua that's properly translated, lessgooooo

Man, she just... regresses when she drinks. I don't know if that's good. She needs a lot of therapy.

To answer the four-year old unlinked comment about albinism, it's because albinos are essentially blind and it's old hat. Let the dark-haired people catch flak for once.

So, I see that everyone universally loves this manga, but I cannot get over the sports part. It's so boring. And it takes up entire chapters. Can someone give me a recommendation that has a great slow burn romance like this but does not have the sports element around it.

This is the type of romance I want to see happening. Both desperately trying to hide the fact that they aren't who they say they aren't, and then 3rd party actors force them to recognize one another and then also confront what was said in confidence

Sister played her hand so aggressively that the protagonist said, "Now, hang on a minute"

Lmaooooo, this is actually interesting

Body Dysmorphia: The Manhwa

Funny, but definitely body dysmorphic. This level of hyper awareness of your intake vs. your output to dogmatically control your caloric balance is not normal. You can have good-tasting food while being jacked; the body building community's obsession with the negligible effects spices have on someone's gains is as absurd as it is mind-boggling. Besides, this manhwa centers on body building, not strength training. Strength training looks like Scottish log tossers. Body building, like shown here, leaves your core weak.

Do what you want with your body, by all means, but don't take this manhwa seriously when they're saying that the Dorito Torso is the height of strength.

I used to lift until my injuries with the USN caught up to me; funnily enough, I picked up lifting in the military, too. It wasn't until I couldn't work out anymore did I learn how to properly train for strength, and my obsession with a narrow waist was never going to achieve my goals nor was it going to happen. Different body type than one that can attain that.

Tfw you need to pay attention to a exhausting, incoherent arc so later ones will make sense

Lol, probably got him into a thighlock after an argument over a game

What's just... what's fuckin' happening?https://i.postimg.cc/VL3gGdM7/i.jpg

When the manhwaga doesn't know how or why populist uprisings happen, lol

Gorl, just fuckin' talk to him
