Kind of a weird question, but does Melon call Legoshi by his name at any point in the manga before chapter 174?

hmm i don’t think so, i tried looking up different scenes where legosi and melon interacted and i couldn’t find any instances of melon addressing legosi by his name except for 174.

i Did find one other time melon uses legosi’s name, but he’s not directly speaking to legosi, he’s just talking about him with kyuu, in chapter 171

Hey, man. You said Beastars was ending & I don't get it. What? How is it ending? There's way too much stuff to wrap up for it end after the Melon arc.

i feel the same way! but in author’s note in the latest Volume to release in japan, she mentions that the “end is within sight”. That’s kind of vague but there were also a lot of rumors of it ending soon too. Of course, who knows what that actually means and how much is actually left, but i can only assume that we’re over the halfway point. 

but yeah, it feels like there’s waaay too much unfinished business so i’m like nggghhh

I tried to draw one of @cooplagoop ’s aliens because they sounded interesting.

You said a while ago that race was a social construct. How is that so?

@ask-disneyka can explain it better

From what I can understand it’s because the racial lines are incredibly blurred and there isn’t that radical of a gentic difference betwen races. “Race” as a concept barely existed before American slavery and it’s aftermath.

Did Melon know Legoshi was behind him in chapter 150? What does he mean by if he shot the guy behind the windows?

hmm it seems like he did know. perhaps his herbivore instincts tipped him off to legosi’s presence before legosi knocked on the window and to make himself known.

I think since melon realized that legosi was behind him, he threatened to shoot legosi to get a rise out of agata, since legosi and the shishigumi (except melon) seem to at least be on neutral terms w/ each other now, and agata knows that legosi is important to louis, so legosi dying would certainly affect him in some way.

since melon has never experienced companionship or love of any kind he seems to revel in making others feel just as sad as he is lol

Do your characters in Souls of Magic only have 1 magical ability or can they develop more? Does Maurice have any magic or spells (I may have forgotten it)?

Maurice have the magical ability to control an object’s trajectory in it’s own timeline for a minute, like stopping a glass from falling, but other than that no.

I haven’t gotten to the part in the story where I properly explain the magic (it’ll be in 1-2 chapters I think) but since I’m so lazy at updating I’m using this as an opportunity to go a bit more in depth with it (since I have no idea how long it will take me to actually get to the part in story).

The magic in Souls of Magic can be regarded as idividual superpowers and it’s called magic partly because the powers break the laws of physics and partly because humans barely understand anything about it. The only thing they know is that about 50% of the population has it and though it may appear to be genetic that is not always the case.

In this world half of the people are born with “magical energy”. When the child is between 6-8 years old the energy “settles” giving them one magical ability/power. What magic the person gets depends on their environment growing up. Like if it’s something they need in life, a habit, what they believe magic should look like and other similar situations. As an example: Jane liked to play board games when she was young and now her magic allows her to view the world like a huge board with her map. There are also outliers whos magic settels before the age of 6 but those cases are usually a result of survival instincts, a child with magical energy who is drowning may get magic that turns them into a fish or allows them to breathe in water. So no, there are no spells (unless someone specifically has a magic that settled on spells, but that is unusual).

For this reason people with magic mostly only has one ability. There are cases where they may use a magical artifact made by someone elses magical ability or having a curse/blessing that gives them some form of magic, but they are rare.

I hope this makes sense.

What ruined atheism? Was it those atheists who want all religion banned?

More like those fedoras that scream at religious people online and say things like “imaginary person in the sky”.
