How to read Tokyo Aliens legally ✨

Updated because I used the app a little so I can explain better!

Because hopefully most of us WANT to support the author, we just don't know how. Especially since it cost money and not everyone can afford it.

But don't worry! Auntie is here and got your back!

If you are on android or ios, you can use the app "Manga UP!" to support the author.

You get 160 GREEN points daily, and to unlock a "chapter" you need to spend 40 points. This mean you can unlock 4 "chapters" every day, and at the moment there are 23 full-chapters translated, so it would not take too long to catch up.

Why did I wrote "chapters" and full-chapters? Because the app divides 1 normal chapter in multiple parts depending on the lenght of the chapter. This is why you have Chapter 1-1, chapter 1-2, chapter 1-3, the chapter 1 has been divided in 3 parts. Yes, this means you have to buy all of them one by one. Yes it's annoying, but we can't do anything about it.

The most recent chapters have a "trick" (because they still have to earn money), they use a different currency, which is PURPLE and they cost double (80 points per "chapter"). So you either have to use this new currency (that you can get with real money or by completing the very rare missions) or just wait until the next chapter drop. Basically you will always have the last chapters locked (the number change depending on the serie). But this means that when a new chapter is added, one becomes available for purchase for free.

So, to summarize:

GREEN points: good! They refresh two times a day! Use them or they will be gone! 40 per chapter that is not exclusive

PURPLE points: you get 500 when you enter and another 300 for the registration. Sometimes you get missions to obtain them for free. Usable on the new shiny chapters (cost of 80) or also to continue unlocking the oldest chapters (at a prize of 40, basically they substitute the GREEN ones when you finish them)

GOLD ones: only obtainable with money. Can be used everywhere.

You see how it works? Hopefully?

Anyway pls, I even told you how to be legal, give it a chance.

yes, yes i know edgeworth’s big wet eyes and loser boy personality have captivated us all, but listen. listen.

phoenix wright

phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright

phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright

phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright

phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright

phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright

phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright

phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright

phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright

phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright

just

I do keep coming back to the thought that there is no reason to have stopped to see Astrid before going to Aeor if the point wasn't to try to recruit her for chaperone duties. It doesn't exactly seem like she's with the Vanguard or she wouldn't be hiding in a smut shop in Zadash.

Please, Astrid, come to Aeor with us. You can take potshots at your ex's new boyfriend the whole time. And he can't even say shit about it, because he's the one who invited you.

I love how the translation from the colored version makes a certain someone sound more whipped for his captain😭 and the thing is, we can tell who is down bad (out of all the strawhats) for a certain captain from facial expression alone like, okayy??

#zolu #luzo #roronoa zoro #fishman island arc #one piece #i think he is a bit enamored but who knows #my toxic side is obsessing over which translation has the bigger zolu agenda lol #like imo it's pretty hard to find/read the original (in JP) & legal version of op online.. #so i'll have to settle with the eng translation😔

Prompt 298

“So uh, is anyone gonna’ stop… that?” Honestly, no one here had ever had to deal with a borderline feral acting Batman, and Supes wasn’t there to do anything to help. Not to mention Diana just found their failure to do anything hilarious. 

“I don’t know Hal, do you have any idea on how to get him out from vents he shouldn’t by any logical reason be able to fit into?” 

“Well no, but I mean, it’s freaky! He just read a file, cursed more than I’ve ever heard him and just, okay, how did all of them even fit inside his cape-”

“Current theory is some sort of shadow dimension.”

I kind of like the idea that at the highest levels of the U.S. government, FBI, whatever, they are fully aware of who each member of the Batfam is and have dossiers that could fill libraries detailing their crimes and whatnot. Furthermore, they have filled Bruce Wayne in on this fact and told him that while he does net-positive things as a Gotham-exclusive vigilante and member of the Justice League (the government is more than happy to let a billionaire pay for that), they have no reason to come after him. In fact, the Feds are exhausted with Gotham and dealing with all the problems it brings.

However, they're very clear that if they wanted to, they could put him and his kids away, or force them into working for the government.

Bruce is entirely unsurprised by this, and it's just another chess move in the long-brewing cold war where the Bats routinely destroy/delegitimize evidence/hack them/gather counter-intelligence and blackmail and the Feds continue their reconnaissance, rebuild their case, and put up heavy opposition to any Batfamily members or allies entering government office.

Does the mass-murdering criminal Jason "Red Hood" Todd canonically support the death penalty?

No, I can't find evidence that Red Hood supports the death penalty.

There is a difference between murder (illegal) and state-sanctioned killing (legal). Red Hood commits unlawful homicide. The death penalty is lawful homicide. Jason is a murderer. The death penalty is not legally considered murder. Commissioner Jim Gordon is a decorated military veteran, not a murderer.

Committing violence ≠ wanting the government to have the right to commit that violence. Batman and his allies brutalize criminals; they don't necessarily support the state brutalizing criminals. Red Hood kills some criminals; Red Hood doesn't necessarily support the state killing criminals. Catwoman doesn't necessarily support the state committing burglary. Et cetera.

The death penalty is administered by the criminal legal system. Jason does not like the criminal legal system (see some of his run-ins with the police). He grew up as an impoverished child who didn't believe in the system, he was raised by Batman to believe that vigilantes can make a difference that the system can't, and he became an adult criminal who still doesn't believe in the system. He's not interested in using the criminal legal system. He isn't interested in giving more powers and privileges to an abusive system that has wronged him and the people he cares about.

When Jason started up his villain business, the death penalty was legal in Gotham City. (See Detective Comics #644, The Joker: Devil's Advocate, Batgirl 2000 #19, Punchline #1.) The death penalty was also in place during his Robin run. Jason didn't argue in favor of the state having the right to kill prisoners, and the death penalty never addressed his complaints about the status quo.

Jason has rescued people from wrongful* imprisonment and the death penalty. Again, based on his own firsthand experiences, he has many reasons to believe that the system is broken. *Some of us would argue that locking any people in prisons tends to be wrongful and inhumane by default, but we could choose to accept the standard premises of crime fiction as without endorsing it as moral instruction.

Jason Todd is a criminal: a mass murderer, a terrorist, a villain. He does evil. He doesn't represent or support the legal system. He probably has the least political capital out of all the Batfamily-associated characters. He doesn't promote the death penalty. He commits murder—illegally, as a criminal, state-unapproved.

Some recent comics related to the topic:

Gotham Nights (2020) #11 "One Minute After Midnight", written by Marc Guggenheim

Red Hood and Nightwing team up to investigate the case of a man wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed. Both of them disapprove of how the broken criminal legal system botched this case.

Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #8 (2023), written by Matthew Rosenberg

"You familiar with Hannah Arendt's concept of Schreibtischtäter? Desk murderers? It's people who use the state to kill for them, so they don't have to get their hands dirty."

Don't read it. It is bad. Just trust me. #Jason Todd is legally dead and not registered to vote. #I could make a much longer post about Jason's general contempt for authorities but let's limit it today. #thecruellestmonth #I know the 1992-2010 comics purists are going to come after me for using recent comics. #I could make a much longer post about Post-Crisis Jason Todd's attitudes about the police and the state. #But that longer post still wouldn't have much to say about the death penalty-- #--because--AGAIN--there is NO evidence that Jason supports the death penalty!

Congratulations to Dainix, the Trans Webcomic Character Tournament winner! He has taken home the championship with over 2,200 votes, the most of any character in any single round.

Zhusen ends the tournament in second place, having won every match except her group stage and championship face-offs with Dainix.

Despite a strong last-day rally, Lucy Marlowe fell just a few votes short in their final contest. White Chain takes third, and Lucy a very close fourth.

It’s been a great tournament, and I hope everyone has found at least one new comic you enjoy! Thanks for helping make this happen <3

#also pretty sure I’m now legally required to read Aurora #which I was going to do anyway because it looks awesome #so if all goes well you can look forward to a live read soon #also stats post! can’t not do stats post
