My parents never expected anything of me, but I always got 95%+, usually 100%, and sometimes even better. (Sometimes the teachers are wrong. When you prove it to them it is a hoot.)

Oh, and I got an F in spelling. Why did I get that? Was it because I could not spell? No, it was because I refused to write in cursive. Every word was right. The teacher was forceful in trying to get me to write in cursive, and I refused. The school district changed the grade to A-4, excellent work, attitude problems.

I have some new friends. The husband is quiet and affable, big and strong. The wife is excitable and loud, and petite. They've been married for ~40 years. They are a lot of fun to interact with, as my wife of 38 years and I are very similar -- not introverted or extroverted.

Haruto and Hina could work as a couple. The challenge is managing differing personalities and being able to communicate. The real question with so many relationships is: "Can you talk with one another?" That is the acid test.

Some commenters have said that this Webtoon has been getting over the top, or that Manager Kim is compromising his principles. Most of the time, I trust the author. We may be getting near the end, because the Minji/Hyeri situation has come full circle from the beginning of the manga. Just as Minji has learn to respect her Dad, Hyeri should as well. It may be that Manager Kim has accomplished far more than Hyeri's Dad during the time of this manhwa. Nonetheless Hyeri's Dad has seen the light, and wants to apologize to Manager Kim.

Many good manga/manwha/stories focus on character development. How did they overcome? How did their character improve? Well, we have it here for Minji, Hyeri's Dad, and Manager Kim. I'm looking forward to the denouement. (Sorry for the snobby word; it means the resolution at the end.)

Fake human holidays, with nothing eternal behind them. The only true holiday happens once a week on the first day sabbath.

It would have been better for him to say, "I'm going to teach you to think for yourself," and then pursued the same tactics.

Soo wan needs to recognize that murder was never the right thing. There was a better way to save the kingdom.

The time to apologize is almost always now.

Well done, Ichikawa! Getting past your fear of what others think of you is a huge step. And after that you created a plan, and structured the efforts of your classmates to a good end. They are motivated, and you kicked it into gear. Yamada supported you, but in the end, you had to take responsibility for your own idea, and it worked.

This is just a feint to get out of a bad relationship. But will Kyo suffer as a result?

Maybe no stella, but still impressive to find a rare plant. The butlers are impressive as well, massaging the egos, and protecting their young charges. But give Damian some credit: he planned an unusual outing after studying the past. His friends can't compare to him.

It seems like the difference in philosophies is this: hero association evaluates the skills of heroes with unusual abilities, and pays them in proportion to perceived abilities. Neo-heroes assembles mobs of people with no special abilities, and assumes that numbers will pay off. This isn't that much different from some military strategies in history -- elite troops vs human wave tactics. That said, in this case, I distrust the ethics of the neo-heroes. They will take anyone so long as they are big or "effective."

Given the past, I suspect he will find a way around this. The only interest he has had in women was one that was older, and not immediately of interest to anyone else. This arc is showing his adaptability to non-fighting tasks -- thinking strategically, at which he is succeeding.

Takasago has courage, which is unusual in romance manga.

Hayate wants to be with Akira, but he also wants her to be able to make her own choice. Possible outcomes: Hayate tells Akira to go to the school she wants to go to. Akira finds a school that satisfies both Hayate and her. I don't like the term "siscon." There are some brothers and sisters that are close, particularly with fraternal twins. I was good friends with such a pair in high school. We would sometimes walk to school together. They both had other friend interests of the opposite sex, but you could tell they were close friends.

He added his own feelings to Anna's confession, which made it his song. Anna was touched by it, as you might note.

When you are an actress, you have to dye your hair occasionally.

Progress is not always linear. The author will get there... someday...

I used to think this was coming to an end quickly, but now I am not so sure.

The ending: a stable society dealing with quirks when children are young, Todoroki's excellent character makes him the leading hero, and Midoriya gets his powers back. Pretty nice.
