I watched somewhere that Raya's whole "Dragon Nerd" thing was kinda demeaning(?) towards the sanctity of Dragons in SEA culture and while I do agree with that to some degree... I personally think they also went too tame with Raya's whole "Dragon nerd" thing
Raya was only nerd enough to plot dump, but if someone was truly a "Dragon nerd" then they should have really went harder with it. Made her absolutely fanatical about it. To the point where she freaks out other characters about it. We were robbed of adorkable nerd fighter Raya and I'm a little sad about it
(Also, this post was inspired by Xiran's video where a group of SEA people assembled to talk about Raya... And also the character of Elrand from "Campfire Cooking in another world with my absurd skill". Just see what I mean here:
THIS is what I'm looking for in a "nerd" character.
Granted, this is unholy levels of obsession from a single character, but I LIVE for this kind of character. It gives them life and animation!)

What I’ve been doing these past two months, besides working a part-time job for my college, of course, are reading manga and light novel and watching anime~
INTRODUCTION!! Characters from the left to right, top to bottom :)
THE EVERLASTING WIND TROUPE (I’m not kidding. Their bandana and sash/obi keep flying all over the place even tho’ they’re inside and there’s no wind)
-Dai Gyakuten Saiban (game); still questioning how the heck Sherlock didn’t realize that Asougi is still alive [SPOILER]. Maybe there’s an explanation as I stop watching the vids midway cuz they haven’t finish subbing it. Or maybe he was just stupid like that :’D
-Itsuwaribito (manga); when his hair is down, he really resembles Gin from Bleach. Maybe Utsuho is Gin’s alive sibling lol
THE ESCAPIST TROUPE
-Kaitou Joker (manga and anime); What if, Conan’s rival is not Kaitou Kid but Kaitou Joker? Because, unlike Kid, Joker really steal the treasure. Huh…that’ll be a cool crossover, I wanna read it. Also, shut up, take my money and gimme that image gum cuz I wanna prank someone with it!!
-Nanbaka (manga. Haven’t watched the anime yet); Besides his skill in jail-escape and picking locks, he’s not someone you can depend and practically useless, his friends’ opinion
THE NOT-SO-NORMAL-ABILITY TROUPE
-Chemistry (Korean Light Novel); reminds me of Re-Life manga. But, instead of shrinking your body into teenager state, the pill give him an abundance of scientific knowledge and an ability to see and move atoms at will.
-Moyashimon (manga, anime n dorama); can see, talk and interact with the microbes. Though he already has this ability since ever and not obtaining it via outside influence like Chemistry LN
THE MAGIC AND ACTION TROUPE
-Black Clover (manga. Don’t intend to watch the anime); Cuz the anime has too many fillers, damn you Pierrot! Tho’ I’m curious cuz people seems to hate Asta as he has a tendency to shout every time, anytime
-Fire Force (manga); sometimes I’m still confused if the MC is a hero or a villain. His habit of smiling when nervous is really scary
THE DEMON WORLD TROUPE
-The Autophagy Regulation (man…hua??); I love how the creator gives you a hint about the MC’s past here and there via chapters’ cover and not a full blown story like other manga did. And the MC is actually strong. He just acts stupid to cover his real self. That sudden change threw me for a loop when I first saw it
-Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba (manga); I don’t know how many times I’ve cried reading this manga. I’m weak against family theme story, okay??! Also, I can’t wait for the anime next year yes!!
THE ROYAL FAMILY TROUPE
-The Duke of Death and his Black Maid (manga); I hope at the end of the manga, he can finally live happily ever after with someone he cherishes and love. Curse you, witch!! He’s just a poor lad!! TAT
-Crimson Prince (manga); I’m not a fan of reincarnation story. But still following this cuz the story is fluff and fluff is life!!!
-Royal Tutor (manga. Haven’t watched the anime yet); Black Butler slice-of-life version, enough said :’D
THE ISEKAI TROUPE
-Yankee wa Isekai De Seirei ni Aisaremasu (manga); MC is the very definition of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. He may look scary, but actually weak against cute things, it’s cute!!
-Isekai ni Tobasareta Ossan wa Doko E Iku? (manga); If I ever stranded in Isekai world, I definitely want his power. He can access the Internet, buy everything via online—he even bought a motorcycle at one time!!—and have an AI like JARVIS. He’s also very strong because of God blessing so he’s basically an OP. But I just want his ‘internet skill’ `3`
-Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi (manga and Light novel); his internet skill is not as powerful as the Ossan. He can only buy foods, drinks, anything that involves farming and body care as of now, idk the LN is still ongoing. He’s just a normal person, wanting to live a normal life~
I like waiting for the manga to have more than 50 chapters before I read it. Cuz then I can just read them all in one sitting. I only need 6 or 7 hours to finish all of the 163 chapters of Black Clover `3`
All of the pictures are transparent~
