There's no need for an apology, whether you are just being genuine, which I would like to believe you are, or joking around. You do you, that's just my opinion, so pay no mind.

So much has changed since the old days, seeing your comment made me realize that, and I made that statement more on how shocked I really am at how times have changed. I can't deny I used you as an example to bridge my point. If you are truly being genuine, then I genuinely apologize for coming off as such since my intention was not to disrespect but to respect the fact that times have changed.

Never in a million years would I think someone would be complaining about a one chapter lame entrance. I must be getting old. Back in my day, all we got was a stare down with some lip service for multiple episodes or chapters before the fight even began. You would have had a hard time with the original Toonami with this kind of mindset. It being 2025 speaks volumes nowadays.

For anyone curious, this is basically a watered down version of "Date A Live" Instead of spirits, it's mythical girls, and instead of sealing with a kiss after building enough affection, intimacy, emotional attachment, through dating, etc. You skip the entire process of having to do so.

In this story it's a sealing ring, not a kiss, needing wedding vows, and both parties are willing to accept the vows no matter the circumstances. No extra steps, just an agreement.

I highly, highly recommend "Date A Live" Read all the novels, it's a gem. Just watching the anime does not give the best presentation of "Date A Live" What makes it so good is the character development, etc. Without reading the novel, a lot of key details are missed regarding certain characters and side stories, and it's crucial to truly understand what a gem "Date A Live" really is.

The anime did a good job, regardless of its flaws. Whether this story will turn out good, only time will tell. Just wanted to throw this out there for the curious.

For anyone curious, this is one of those romance stories where they add more than one potential love interest to push people toward a favorite they want to see end up with the MC. This adds layers to ongoing discussions on who people think will win over the MC, which keeps reader engagement and expectations high if done right. However, if done wrong, the story becomes extremely frustrating due to the situations being so commonly used in this kind of story setting, where it's not so much a mystery who is going to end up with the MC.

For anyone thinking it's obviously the FMC that's going to win, keep in mind that's not always the case. It's very rare, but there are stories where the FMC's spotlight is stolen. What I mean by this is the FMC losing the fight trying to win over the MC, and when it happens, it either leaves a sour or bittersweet taste in the mouth of the reader.

I feel like this is an okay story, it's nothing to write home about. If you read a lot of really solid romances, it should become quite obvious how this will play out, and that's exactly why it can be frustrating at times, which I'm currently feeling, especially with Hayoon's situation.

That last panel caught me off guard, that reaction was hilarious. I can definitely see why this story is so likable.

This story is an absolute rollercoaster! at times, I'm like, Let me off already! This is crazy! But then, you've ridden it for so long, you start to enjoy the craziness: the loops, the turns, the twists. It all goes around, then you end up wondering, How did I even get here to begin with? by the time this ride finally finishes, I'm sure I'll be greeted with my own welcome home, Papa.

I haven't come out yet.
And I don't know how else to say it.
Especially to
My mother, a nurse
My father, the electrician
My brother, the politician
My sister, the wise ***
I don't know how to say that.
I have an affection for words.
I have been hiding the paints under my bed.
And staring at the guitars from
Outside the window
Unable to resist how hard
The urge is to touch
I am a closeted artist. yet to come out
And admit that I've had an affair
With a few museums and paint brushes
That I have been memorizing poems
From before I could read
Committing some verses to memory
As my mother recited them to me softly before bed
And as I stand here waiting in the closet.
I'm sketching a small butterfly on the wall next to my coat.
I'll most likely wear to the Off Broadway show tonight.

Not that serious my point was more about how insanely unrealistic the plot was. Exchange rates change all the time. I never expected to get it spot on. I expected a far off. Just like the author's plot, I just threw it out there. I always went by adding an extra zero USD to yen. I'm not into business. I appreciate the feedback. And this is not college. I could have pulled out a converter as well. Scroll Reddit for examples. Maybe some math, but its a manga site, not trying to be a jerk, but im assuming you are quite young given the fact how old my comment was to how serious you took it. The Loanshark scenario was my main point, with the amount owed being an insane amount and the consequences of such an amount owed towards such a crowd in Japan. Like I said, I hope this will not become a trend.

For sure it definitely could be done a lot better hopefully it will pick up.

Yea for sure like i said we shall see how it turns out i been enjoying it so far but she sure can hopefully there will be a counter for that he broke through once maybe he can again its just she was the one being saved at that time.

I don't know how you think it's stupid. The story literally just started everything else was setting the stage up until now. I do not know what your standards are, but It's pretty hilarious. I guess the younger generation has it pretty rough just enjoy it no need for fits and anger back in my day it was for enjoyment if you disliked it you moved on not throw fit about it being stupid.

If you remember, it was stated that his power involves around death, and it was also stated from the villain that killed his brother that he has way more cards to show then what has been shown, so now that the villains are executing the weak, it means death maybe more power to take on all? If the villains died off too early, it would cause problems. Plenty of stories lose meaning when important characters die early and notice that the 2nd villain saved. They literally stated it was complicated regarding her ability and then explained parts of it in later chapters. She might be a key player we shall see how it turns out.

Thats a funny one considering even a high percentage of poor Asian families have enough savings for anything related to their child being successful. Having kids was never a money issue; Asians always save money, regardless. Let's compare America. We get laughed at just living in apartments, and in case you do not know, it's a normal thing in Japan to live in apartments and save money, and guess what? America is the polar opposite of saving; most are born with that golden spoon or can get easy access to success through a family-owned business or friends. For a quick job, it's quite sad, and do not compare an Asian-owned family business to America. It's usually a bakery or some form of restaurant, maybe a martial arts dojo. There's definitely no easy success there. And before you say this has nothing to do with what you said, it sure does, considering it's all about money. Do some research, read some success stories, and learn about their history of success. I will always respect Japan, China, Korea, and Asian culture as a whole, etc.; they are huge on working hard for what they have and their businesses. They are not trying to bribe their kids into Harvard like America; they earn it. not saying this towards all Americans, but a huge amount sure get freebies into success. Asians give up a lot and work extremely hard for what they have. Homelessness is a huge issue in America, but compared to Japan, it's not even close to an issue; they have so many alternative solutions to solve homeless worries. You can literally buy a box-space room section for dirt cheap, so once again, money is not an issue.

What a ridiculous statement! These people are not vulnerable; they are in groups. Look up the definition of a bully in places like China or London! It's actually extremely common for teachers to do absolutely nothing and let it happen all the time. All they care about is money, especially in China. Suspensions are irrelevant since they are group-oriented bullies. It's literally pointless, so they say a few words and let it play out. Suicidal rates are extremely high in these cases, which is why the students put up with it or you have to make a stand, and in most cases they just step right over you, thinking you are a pushover as in vulnerable, which, if you haven't noticed, is bullying. If she were truly a bully, she would join such a group to bully.

I really liked the beginning read till ch20, and it fell fast. The author ruined it. The MC was top-notch intelligent and full of tactics, but after revenge, boy did he change and not in a good way, went from intelligence to childish with an unbearable personality with an unnecessary attitude and plenty of plot holes. I guess. Archmages die from old age. Last time I checked, they could rewind time and even bring back youth some even prevented illnesses with alchemy. It is frustrating. I can not believe this is the same author of the transcension Academy.

Use English next time, please.

Easy 10/10 The story is mysterious and extremely deep. It is highly recommended. The only issue is that you need extreme immersion to truly understand some details. Unfortunately, the majority of the audience will be clueless. Later parts are very important; if you do not connect the dots, obviously, you will shame and miss out on an absolute masterpiece. Example with some deep meaning Behh Hey, small fry! Your idea of a lord is different from my idea of a lord. Im saying that you call yourself a lord, but you got its true nature completely wrong. you know the end or peace? Should I do this? Should I do that? Thinking and mulling over the right answer makes you unfit as a lord. One just has to do as one pleases, and then the world will lead me to the answer. They aren't ideas small fry can follow.

If you like blows and whistles with some twinkle twink with that mhm rainbow, this is for you.

Im probably going to drop it honestly here's a good upvote for you.
