2 new characters for Tamayura, uh? I like their designs, kinda, not really a fan of megane-chans but depends on what personality they give her I guess, hopefully they don't get too much in the way of the story given how everyone already has their fair share of development and the story is bringing in brand new characters when it should be focusing on ending things and exploring its themes further. We'll see I guess, excited nonetheless.

For those wondering the Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru Omake will focus on Sonoko and what happened to her after the TV series.

"Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural

"Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

About GiTS live -action movie, I doubt about the ctitics and reception since the context set in the manga is completely diffrent from the live-action, which is far more complex and hold all the stakes it had, and to be adressed for a large aldult Japanese readers. BTW, Johanson as Major wont be a good choice.Finally, Rupert made some shits, so it ll be decent or completely garbage.

For the "Is this girl a fiction?" manga, too bad if it ends here, as we didn't know too much about the protagonists. More, the story feels too rushed to reach the conclusion.
