It’s such a fun series and a blast from the past. It’s hard to believe that it was published in the official Ubuntu magazine in Japan.

Somebody finally translated the final chapter! The credits page mentions extras as well, so I am looking forward to that.
I never had the opportunity to try out Ubuntu Touch, but I do vividly remember all the marketing talk from the time.

Aless’s face at the end was great. Spending time with Gray is likely to result in more shocks like that one.

In the past, when I knew I wasn’t going to be able to post it myself, I have scheduled posts with a self-hosted version of LemmySchedule. However, this time, I thought I was going to be able to post it myself like I usually do, but then an issue came up late that took me away from my computer. I have thought about fully automating the process similar to what they do for !lightnovels@ani.social, but I actually kind of enjoy making the posts myself when I can. If this happens regularly, I will probably automate things.

It’s a good point that she probably doesn’t know a lot of the distinctions herself since she only grew up to 10 in her previous life. I doubt the children’s books in the hospital explained the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

I kind of hate that they are redeeming Kiyoka’s mom. Just let me hate the mother-in-law please! Well, it will probably be quite some time before we see her again, so o7 to you, the most tsundere MIL out there.
This development with the Usubas being tied up in this grand scheme is not really that surprising at all. They seem to be everywhere in the shadows of this world’s systems of power. However, what is surprising is that this guy at the end is Miyo’s dad? Did her mom have an affair? What is the story here?
On the romance front, there was a great balcony, moonlit kissing scene between our leads. However, the moment that I thought was even more touching was when Miyo ran to Kiyoka and gave him a big hug when he got back from fighting the demon. She didn’t care that she was in front of other people, she just wanted to glomp her man. @rikka@ani.social

Sign me up for more Black Knight lore. I will be curious to find out what the real story behind this dragon incident is.

I apologize for the delayed creation of this post, but my workload continues to be a bit insane. Here are some series I wanted to mention this week:
Not sure where this one is going yet. It is about an idol and her biggest fan, but unlike Damedol, everybody is majorly depressed. It has been a slow buildup, but I am willing to stick with this one for a bit to see how it goes after the most recent chapter.
I hadn’t planned on there being an idol theme to my post this week, but I have enjoyed the first couple chapters of this one. It’s not really treading new ground in the romcom space, but it is at least an adult romance that has their characters act like adults. They have to do things like plan around a work schedule for instance. It felt quite real when a dramatic thing happened once and the MC was basically like, I can’t deal with this now, I have to get to work, let’s circle back to it this evening…and then everybody involved did just that.
Only one chapter translated so far and I enjoyed it. I am hoping for more soon. The raws are currently partway through chapter 18, so there is content out there for our intrepid TL. I think the funniest part of this one to me is how the monsters become these equisitely prepared dishes for her to eat. I am kind of hoping that those nice prepared plates are just in her perception and she is actually just munching down on monster corpses from everybody else’s perspective.

My irl workload continued to be crazy this week. So, that is a contributing factor to the late posting of this thread. Through it all though, I have managed to so far keep up with the seasonal shows I wanted to watch, and I even managed to watch a couple from seasons gone by:
- Spice and Wolf (2024) - I had left this with just a couple unwatched episodes for long enough and finished it up this past week. I liked the arc that it ended on probably the most of any in the show’s run. So, a good end, but some middle portions of the season were slow for me.
- Squid Girl - I found some time to fire this up this past week as I was looking for something a bit mindless, and it delivered. I had tried watching this before and found it a bit too mindless (preferring the manga), but after a week of grueling days at work, it fit the bill perfectly.
Now, for this season’s shows:
- My Happy Marriage - I hate that they are trying to make me sympathetic to Kiyoka’s mom. Just make her evil and let me hate her, it’s so much more fun. In any case, good episode this past week.
- Apothecary Diaries - The mystery kicked off this past week as we got a new character, Maomao.
- Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf - Such a nice, comfy show. Really enjoying this one so far.
- Guild Receptionist - The voice acting in this show is carrying it for me. Rie Takahashi has been fantastic.
- Bureaucrat to Villainess - Another really fun episode. I think this one has surprised me the most with how much I am enjoying it.
- 100 Girlfriends - The insanity continues…and I am here for it.

Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma.
The big hitters of the season have premiered now and took over the top portion of both charts. One thing to note is that the phased release schedule might be hurting Sakamoto Days, especially in the reddit chart, because it has two episodes listed there, but only a fraction of people were able to watch both of them.

I love how this show continues to be meta as hell. Directly mentioning how character designs have changed from the manga, calling out cut content, and criticizing itself for showing pointless fan service while a long explanation is happening. @rikka@ani.social

I feel like there is some conflation between several things: bacteria, viruses, mold, yeast, microorganisms. I am willing to bet that the terms are more ambiguous in Japanese than in English. It is a nice attention to detail that they are trying to show germ theory in the same ways that it was supported in our world. That microscope is a huge leap forward compared to the earliest microscopes used on Earth.

That was a gorgeous sequence of sneaking out of the window culminating in that color page. This series always feels like it rides the line between a story and just an art book.

Each chapter I am reminded of just how strange these girls are, but like, in a weirdly endearing way.
I am curious to see what’s up with Seira-chan.

New club member acquired! Actually, her Ice Queen personality reminds me that it’s been too long since there’s been an update to “The Ice Princess Wants to Be Melted by a Small Patch of Sunlight.”

Sakamoto Days has been switched to request only due to the different release schedules in different regions. Episode 3 is available to be made at this point by requesting it from the bot.

Frankly, I think all three of them are a great friend group. I wouldn’t be upset if they just stayed as friends through this whole story.

Despite his feelings for Yukihira, these two are still really cute together.
