(Featuring a cameo from Akeno!)

When Akeno goes on her date with Issei and lets her hair out of the usual ponytail, she looks damn near identical to Raynare (as Yuuma), even down to the outfit in the case of the light novel. Raynare is literally the worst thing to ever happen to Issei. Thinking he had found love only for it all to be a lie so she could murder him scarred him for life eternity and left him traumatized to the point that he was afraid to feel love for fear of being betrayed again. So why is it that when Akeno arrives for their date, Issei doesn’t immediately have a PTSD-induced nervous breakdown? That just seems like a substantial plot-hole to me.

Edit: Alright so it seems like the novels did things a little differently and the date takes place after Issei opens up about his trauma to the girls. I really do want to read the novels, but they just take forever to finish and I already have way too many unread manga volumes collecting dust on my shelves.

Short but productive morning on a well-known small stream.

I can understand that he’s getting more powerful with the spirits of the gods living inside his subconscious (and I’ll admit the “Let’s Go Yuuki!” page pumped me up like crazy), but it does seem awfully fucking convenient that he doesn’t even need Kyouka, the one who actually harbors the Slave ability or anything containing her essence (like when he licked her boot), to transform anymore.

Caught on a size 16 BH red Copper John. Confluence, PA.

If we don’t find her parents, that is.

I bought one anyway.

Boalsburg, PA - Got over a dozen strikes, mostly on stimulators.

Meadow Run, Ohiopyle, PA; Size 20 black zebra midge. This is a stocked stream so it’s a hatchery fish, but I’ve caught plenty of wild browns and none of them were nearly this colorful.
