I got a massive spike in traffic from a nondescript location in Tokyo immediately after you posted this ::mana::
Y'know I forgot for a moment that the M2 existed, and that the hardware ended up being recycled into ATMs and digital kiosks.

I also found out that my co-worker used to program ATM machines in the late 90s and early 80s.

Anyhow, sorry to rant about this here, but I'm friends with my dad on FB and all that...
As I read my popcorn girl isekai, the site sometimes proposes other stuff and every once in a while this one called "Seduce the Villain's Father' shows up...
It looks like it's about a girl who dies and transmigrates into some lady's body 20 years before she's born.
Then she seduces her father to stop the bad guy from being born and...
YUCK. Is anyone else as disgusted by this idea as I am??
Like, I'm sorry, but if I had to seduce my dad in order to save the world you're on your own guys.
Imma take all the cats and go live on a mountain in China somewhere.

Oh yeah that is disgusting. I have a hard enough time tolerating sibling incest in manga/manhwa, so I'm not even touching parent stuff with a 10 foot pole.
Like I realize that I don't have any moral high ground to stand on bc 90% of what I read is terrible, dubious smut (sometimes there's good stuff), but I gotta draw the line somewhere. :p
Do you have other isekai recommendations btw? I really enjoyed This Girl is a Little Wild and Miss Not-So Sidekick (although the recent updates are so... dark??)

Hey, we had "Mana's girlfriend" on here at one point ::meev::
They, uh, didn't last long XD
There was also the Kozi stan right? I just remember it from backreading posts from when the forum started.
I was a teenager when I joined so I won't deny being thirsty lol, I cringe at my behaviour from way back when. At least I didn't post much. Also, the reason I stuck around (even if it was to lurk) was because there seemed to be a lot more mature folk here, and a lot more interesting discussions beyond fangirling.

My partner and I started watching Verte Aile last night and we just stopped at the halfway point, we'll resume watching tonight. It's the first time I've ever watched it and it's so bad, it's hilarious. Aesthetically it's very pretty but the plot... what plot? I only started understanding an iota of what was happening once ::gaku:: and the heroine went to the fortune teller, but even then, it was only a little bit clearer when she was in the scenes.

Yes!! "I want to be you, just for a day" and "Black Haze" are amazing!
Unfortunately Black Haze is on indefinite hiatus and the art in the first 25 chapters is not great, but there are 200+ chapters out (175 decently drawn) so it's still worth it.

There's nothing wrong with reading terrible stuff btw XD
Hanachan went ahead and read le marquis de sade. Nothing you read will ever be that smutty.

Keiyoru? I remember photoshopping her and Kozi onto the Jaws poster...
It was probably not too nice, but I still make myself laugh. Gosh I'm funny and prolly not one of the mature people you're talking about lol

Wonder whatever happened to Lejun.

Probably still more fun than playing actual 3DO games ::meev::

Sqys the 3MO guy.

You do know that, of the 4 titles I've mentioned, only 1 is an isekai, right? :P
Just because it's old and French doesn't make it less trashy,
The drunk racist guy who used to sit under my apartment building and shout every couple days was old and french too.

have you guys seen this? they use posts from here for their investigation lolol
I forgot about the "etiquette school" :lol:

And I'm now officially on record for "Klaha is a geezer" ::meev:: Come to us whenever you need a rent-a-quote about his oldman ways XD
I think "cancer-sticks killed his career" is a pretty weak theory though, seeing as Kozi's still up and running, and his vocals have only improved despite his decades of seasoning the larynx ::meev:: If anything, Klaha's health always seemed to be on the delicate side, though I don't feel like marshaling all the evidence for that right now.

The video also isn't really complete without mentioning Klaha's inexplicably dedicated online hate-dom in Japan. His 2ch threads were nothing but "HOMO HOMO HOMO" for page after page. Being a technophobic geezer, he wouldn't have seen any of this directly, but I wonder if some of this bled through to real life. I could see him just throwing up his hands and walking away.

This just proves that we need to create wilder rumours to be dug up and speculated on in ten years time.

Did Klaha become a writer for PrisonPlanet?

Rose through the ranks of Al Qaeda as an undercover operative?

Is now living as Roland?

The possibilities are endless.

Edit : I would love for Klaha to stumble upon this video and try to make sense out of it without understanding the language or references

What's Roland?

All I know is that, for sure, he can't be a fisherman because Juka's already that.
It would be funky if vocalists kept leaving bands mana is in to hang out with feesh.

Also I kind of enjoyed that video. Wonder if the person is a scaper.

The king of hosts. Apparently he doesn't have a home and just rents hotels every night because he is so wealthy. I think it was reported that he makes near half a million dollars every month.

wilder rumors? we don't need all these hoards of ridiculous fan-theories when we all know he's chained up in mana's basement with all of malice mizer's master tapes, we'll see it all on his twitter someday

Nonsense, the most plausible theory was that he is a home appliance salesman in Korea. I mean it’s in the name;

Korean
Lighting
And
Home
Appliances
