Japan seems to have obsession with something reverse from the west.

Tatsuya's power and nickname in Japanese should be like this:

Kami no Hidarite Akuma no Migite (God's Left Hand, Devil's RIght Hand)

and in another manga, Otogi Matsuri (Dark Sacrifice), the big bad has right hand that can destroy anything and left hand that can restore anything (even lost life). He doesn't have his own automatic regenerative passive ability though (that's why he lost).

I can't exactly say it's Japan. In old times, the right has been associated with divinity and the left has been associated with evil. That's why you things are named like Dextra (Right) and Sinistra (Left). For darker characters, I don't think it's such a big leap to take such a theme and apply it to them. I think it probably comes out more in Japanese literature because it's one of the more popular types of media globally. Well, either way, that's just my opinion.

A little treat here.

Mayumi SS that occurs after the events of the Yokohama Wars (Web 3) and it's written right after Web 4 (Flashback).

Spoiler for Short Story- Mayumi's Vacation:

Seems kind of incomplete for a short story. I thought it would at least cover Tatsuya and Miyuki's visit from Mayumi's POV.

Well, thanks for your work as always.

Tatsuya and Miyuki's visit? Mayumi is purposely trying to prevent them from visiting. That fox like father of hers is just licking his chops to get any sort of information he can on the Shiba siblings.

There are a variety of short stories out there that does not include the Shiba siblings at all. There's one on Amy, which will be included in volume 5 of the published version. There's seemingly one on the Crimson Prince and Cardinal George. There's even one on Morisaki the Quick Draw Douchebag (the guy in chapter 4 of the manga).

I read your summary of Morisaki's SS, but Morisaki is the type thats not even entertaining to read about. Nobody likes him. The other ones sound interesting though.

Yeah, I almost puked when Morisaki was called an "honorable" person.

I wonder if the author drunk or high when he wrote something about Morisaki. The dude is a first class A-hole, did he even have a fan?

Akechi Eimi, a first year girl who took part in Pillars Break (3rd Place) in the second arc. I can't remember off the top of my head if she was in another game.

This.

Also, speaking of Baka-Tsuki, Seitsuki added another bit of chapter 6, vol 2.

Maybe the author was out of idea and still needed something to reach the proper pages count

Or Hattori could have a change of heart and be less of a douchebag ?

Did you mistaking Morisaki with Hattori by any chance? Morisaki is the first year d-bag, Hattori is the vp.
