Back for the first(?) time! Weekly Shogakukan Edition is now Strict Algorithm LLC.

As noted before, not much will change --this is to be legally distinct from Shogakukan. We'll still be doing threads, contests, and translations as always.

Thank you, @andysislands.bsky.social for the gif!

When it comes to hunting demons, magic words are just as important as magic techniques!

This December 18th in Japan, a werewolf game based on #Frieren will be released!

Players are divided into the human and demon camps. Then, using the art of conversation have to locate and defeat demons.

Voice actor Yuichi Nakamura (Gojo, Badeni) has recently purchased #Detectiveconan!

But not one or two volumes, no. He bought all 107 volumes of the ongoing series at once.🤯

He’s no stranger to Conan, as he played Ai Haibara’s father Atsushi Miyano.

It is worth noting the series on the app while many, are not fully available (so they’re more like previews) likely they’ll fill the selection in over time but do keep this in mind:

As usual, your analysis is spot on. For now this comes off as an unfinished game with DLC on the way. Which is fine to some extent for a newbie developer, but not someone who’s been in the game this long.
