I love the manga that JNC’s put out so far. I’ll likely give the anime a try.

i was too in the manga, but i do wish they had held out until the day-of instead
though, i realize that early tease was to retain reader engagement -_-

manga-only still, but i'll probably try the anime eventually. just don't wanna mess up my perception of the characters by overriding it with the anime voices

perhaps it is a personal "ick" for me. One that I find more often than I like in LNs. Young girl has a crush on caretaker, teacher, older brother and doesn't grow out of it - used as fetish fuel. I have not seen this to be the case in this series (as far as I have read) And I remind myself that IRL (especially in the scenario we encounter in this series) a decade of separation changes a person - they grow up - who you knew when they were 15 is not the same person when they are 25 (and conversely the instructor someone was crushing on a decade ago isn't entirely the same guy 10 years later)

Informed consent between adults w/o a power differential is fine.

Raising your mate? squick

If we're looking for a reason to see others as less than ourselves (jealousy or psychopathy or paranoia, etc) we'll find one. Whether that's streamers saying vtubers aren't real compared to them, or reality TV stars saying they're more real than streamers, or script actors>reality actors, stage>TV, on and on, until we get "Go two blocks over and those folks are strange!"

FWIW there's the Guy Debord idea that any media personality is a spectacle for real life. As soon as you make someone's image into a painting, or have them read the weather in front of the camera, or read about a fragment of their life in a tabloid, they're reduced to a representation of their self that is other/a smaller fragment than their material self.

You're right that "indie" is more free than "corporate," of course. You control more of the means of production, can decide to keep doing it if it's not profitable, etc. It's why indie art/entertainment generally takes more risks, and IMO is more interesting.

It's so horribly generic even for a LN adaptation that the term generic does not do it justice.

It is indeed 100% generic but I do think slime A and slime B and the other pets are cute.
