I have read the manga and the early manga definitely gives me Kino's Journey/Mushishi vibes. Those are two of my all-time favorite anime and Frieren is probably the closest I have ever come to having that same feeling in manga form. So, I am super excited about it as well.

The type of pill that was approved is the progestin-only "mini pill" which has a much safer clinical profile than the more common-in-the-US combination pill that has both progestin and estrogen. This type of pill is already available OTC in over 100 other countries. The US is just really behind the curve on just about anything to do with reproductive rights and care.
I don't think they have given a complete list of what will be included. For the first two episodes it is as follows based on a quick scan of the manga. I don't really have the time to go through the whole first season, but as you can see from episode 1, they are likely to jump around a bit.
Episode | Manga Chapters |
---|---|
Episode 1 | 6, 40 |
Episode 2 | 47-50 |
Edit: I did go back through some of the first season, but I ran out of time, so here is the first half the season (roughly):
Episode | Manga Chapters |
---|---|
Episode 1 | 1-3 |
Episode 2 | 4, 7, 9 |
Episode 3 | 10-13 |
Episode 4 | 16-20 |
Episode 5 | 21-24 |
Episode 6 | 26-27, 29-30 |
Episode 7 | 34-37 |
So far this season...
Enjoying:
- Horimiya
- Zom 100
Waiting to see how it plays out:
- Vending machine
- Ryza
- One Room Hero
- Helck
Waiting to binge after the season is over:
- Kenshin
Old show I am currently watching:
- Science Fell in Love
I don't blame you for dropping Ryza. I am going to give it one more episode before dropping since I have heard good things about the source from a friend that is excited about it, but so far I have found it very dull.

Yeah, even comments here haven't seemed to read the article. As somebody that used to install BOINC on all my machines back in the day, the reason I stopped is that many of the projects I ran (SETI being one) aren't active any longer. Also, like the article mentioned, I just don't have a desktop anymore and I am not about to run something like this on a laptop that doesn't have things like user-serviceable or replaceable parts.
I think that @[email protected] provided a great response for the specific case of flow in a pipe.
I just want to add that if you look beyond the restrictions of flow in a pipe, there are many other types of behavior that non-Newtonian fluids exhibit. We measure this in the lab on instruments called rheometers. Basically, we put some liquid in the instrument and then deform it and measure the resistance to that deformation. One of the most common ways to apply that deformation is to do so back and forth in an oscillating manner. Depending on the frequency at which you apply this strain, the solid/liquid-like behavior can change. If you have some background in physics or want to get a decent understanding, I found this paper that, on skimming it, seems to be pretty consistent with the way I was taught this stuff in grad school.
One graph I want to point out is Figure 13 which shows what would be a "typical" viscoelastic polymer solution. An easy way to understand this graph is that as we go from left to right, we are applying strain back and forth quicker and quicker, essentially shaking it faster. When the G' value is higher than the G" value, then the material is behaving more like a solid and conversely, when G" > G', then it is behaving more like a liquid. You can see that the material goes through different phases of behavior as the strain frequency changes. Just for you I went and dug up an old graph from my thesis to show a real-life example of this happening too.
My favorite demonstration of this is to put Oobleck (or something similar) onto a speaker and then change the frequency and see what happens.
Please, please let Ooyama's accidental confession mean something. Imo, this series has really pushed the "do they like me" bit to the breaking point. If Akutsu goes back to questioning it, then it's clear this series is never going to see real relationship progress.
Agree that the ending felt a bit weak. I think that picking up the pace in the show a bit more and getting further in the story would have helped things. At the moment, Raeliana is still a character without much agency, and it would be great to see a bit of her future character growth.
So, it has been a while since I read the manhwa (I haven't read the original webnovel), but I am overall pleased with how the adaptation has gone so far. You could definitely tell that there were very limited budgets. There are so many instances of slideshow animations or just still images, but they seemed to invest heavily in making beautiful stills and backgrounds.
My major complaint about the show is that, in general, it has gone very slowly. I expected them to be further along in the story after 12 episodes, but the pacing has been plodding at best. If my memory serves, I think they adapted 3 of the 7 volumes of the manhwa. I understand that a lot of shows tend to go too quickly, but this show just seems to drag out every conversation like it is padding for time (maybe to help stretch the animation budget too).
Overall happy with the show so far and hope that if it gets a second season it gets a bit more resources thrown its way.
The fact that they are devoting two hours to tell the first part of the story gives me a lot of confidence that they are taking the time to tell the story in a deliberate way. I have written elsewhere that this series really reminds me of Mushishi and everything I liked about that show, so I am super excited that they seem to be giving it the pacing that it needs to help the story hit.
