Blud, you came in here acting like a total smartass but not only did you not have anything to contribute to the conversation, you can't even back up your own fucking argument and now you try to save face by bailing early. All barks and no bite, as typical of some basement dwelling losers. Next time, either get a life or learn the difference between a complaint and stating an opinion, then we can talk like actual grown-ups.

"She's an Eternal Children created to be Daigiren's vessel, the man who brought the invader and crystalosis into this world and said disease killed many people" you mean this part? This is what you called an "explanation"? A single throwaway sentence with completely subjective and biased opinion by a character who is most probably just as none the wiser than the protagonist who she is treating like fucking dirt for being ignorant?

Wow, that's, that's fucking incredible, actually. Incredible that your brain has so few fucking wrinkles. If all fictional storytelling/mysteries can simply be solved by one singular character "proclaiming" it as so then we wouldn't need fucking writing classes and literally any random schmuck can be Tolkien.

Sit your bitch ass down, shut up, go and read a book on writing/storytelling or something, then we'll fucking talk because I sure as hell ain't wasting my breath with your dumbass who can't even write a single paragraph grammatically correct.

If you have read the RAW or have any insight into her backstory or reason for hostility then by all mean, enlighten me. If not, please sit down and my point still stands: introducing a character whose whole personality at first glance is "I have a sad backstory so I must hate the protagonist" is not good storytelling, even if it's only the character putting on a front as seen by ch32. HK416 from Girls' Frontline, Abby from TLOU 2, Anna from Kimi wa Meido-sama, none of them are "good" characters upon their introduction.

Or that the fucker just blushes like constantly. A girl can literally just breath in his general direction and his face is instantly red as a tomato. Like my brother Christ, you grew up in a normal modern age society, not in some monastery in the 1600s, ain't no way you have worse resistance to women than some kid with immunodeficiency to disease.

I think for the Overload to work the ghost must currently be in an agitated/provoked state. Like the first time with the stairway ghost, the case after that and then with the kappa, every time they only broke out the Overload tech when shit was already hitting the fan, whereas here Kagura opens the fight with the tech instead. It's the whiplash of seeing something so absolutely nonsensical in that situation that literally caused the ghost's brain to short-circuit, but Kagura uses it right off rim so the ghost assumes that's just her default state.

No, the explanation for jumbled speech was stage 4 and beyond ghosts have a high degree of intelligence, so they intentionally made their speech a bunch of garbled random noises as to not accidentally leak their name/intention/whatever that could point the exorcist back to their identity.

The "power of words" or influence one's speech can have on others seem to be an important plot point so either landlord lady is 1. Part ghost or 2. Someone from a famous line of exorcist/medium but ran away from home

Her leg basically went through his spine, all the innards on the way and only barely stopped before tearing his shirt also.

"Tranquility" is basically just a synonym of "Silence", so as long as it's a voice or sound that is meant to be heard, regardless of spoken out loud or via telepathy, then it is shut down.

Say, Schmidt, can you, like, maintain that transformation for a bit? I just need you to for, you know, "reasons".

But for real though, I hope that is the appearance he took from someone and author will reuse it in the future because that is such a good design for a supposed one-off scene.

I hope this dirt bag don't get to have a redemption arc. If you intentionally created a character whose first impression is that they have absolutely zero redeeming quality then please follow through with it instead of the usual bait-n-switch or that "they're just misunderstood".

So their youthing rate is stress-related. While a normal person who underwent great deal of stress has their hair turn white, stress makes these two age backward faster.

I don't know why, but I just find character design like this lady really attractive, her personality notwithstanding. Like long hair, well-dressed and paired with a shawl reay gives off that sort of dainty and demure vibe.

Considering it was in the kitchen, I was sure she was about to say "I saw a cockroach".

Heard about this from the Girls' Frontline collab, never actually played the collab myself, but decided to give it a read anyway since oftentimes these older series can be quite the gem. Made it to ch17 and...

To say it's a "slow burn" is an understatement. It's more akin to simmering on low flame a pot of rocks as story is quite aimless. With how they show Giuseppe and Henrietta at the start you'd think these two would be the main duo with the story focusing on Giuseppe's whole "trying to atone" by becoming Henrietta's handler. Nope. My man barely fucking shows up like at all and when he does it's some inconsequential scene like coming back from a trip/a mission or to give Henrietta a gift.

The manga also switches constantly between each of the pair instead of just dedicating like 5 chapters or so per pair to really flesh out their relationship and dynamic, and because of this none of the story beat feels like it has any resolution except for Claes with her first handler. Giuseppe is the worst offender of this. Beside his sparse screen time, whenever he appears the manga really tries to nail it to you that "he's trying to do good, look at how much he's taking care of Henrietta" but somewhere along the way it forgot he's also supposed to be an agent of a secret government agency. As a result he ends up as this wishy-washy character that doesn't really fit into his surroundings of supposed highly trained professionals. Literally, the slightest inconvenience happens to Henrietta and he's willing to just throw away everything, the mission included, just to dote on her.

All in all, read this if you either 1. Have played the Girls Frontline collab and wanted more of it or 2. You just want a time waster in-between update of your current series, because I honestly could not get invested into anything this manga is trying to sell.

If anything it's the other girl who should feel bad. Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and be all bossy like everyone owes her money or some shit.

I really don't like this trope of introducing new characters by having them be extremely hostile against the protagonist. I get it, they may have their own reason or a sob story to justify their action and attitude, yet such details are never revealed to us until much much later down the line for the shock factor, at which point the hate and dislike we have for these characters have already taken root and is very hard to overturn unless the author can pull a masterclass writing/storytelling.
