[Theory & Concept Analysis] Revenge on the Real One: The Heir and The Spare

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The concept of the “heir and the spare” traditionally refers to the practice of having two potential successors in a royal or aristocratic family, usually brothers. The “heir” is the eldest and the one who is expected to inherit the title, lands, and other assets of the family. The “spare” is the second born and is seen as a … Continue reading [Theory & Concept Analysis] Revenge on the Real One: The Heir and The Spare

[Theory] Villains Are Destined to Die: I Think It’s a Coma (Spoilers)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I tend to dislike “it’s a coma” theories when I read them because the idea of everything being a dream or part of a coma is overused and clichĂŠd. However, I can’t say that these types of theories don’t have merit. I mean, a clichĂŠ becomes one for a reason, right? And, for the first time (I think) in … Continue reading [Theory] Villains Are Destined to Die: I Think It’s a Coma (Spoilers)

Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting If you’ve ever studied Japanese you know that some things get dropped based on the context. For example, in English we pretty much always say, “my name is ___” or â€œI am ___.” However, in Japanese you can basically just respond â€œ___desu” (desu acting like a verb â€œ.”) and be fine. Outside of a context, you would probably state the â€œI am” part … Continue reading Theory: Now Entering the Demon King, Iruma!

Theory: Anz is the 8th Guardian Witch of the Wind!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ OKAY… It’s Halloween, the spookiest day of the year, so I decided to write about one of my current favorite manhwa series that features witches while also remaining not-scary. This is also a series I highly recommend and if Halloween is my vessel to serve you this manhwa, then so be it! Coincidentally, it’s also Saturday, the day ANZ … Continue reading Theory: Anz is the 8th Guardian Witch of the Wind!

Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

By: Peggy Wood | @peggyseditorial​ So, I was re-reading the available chapters of The Twin Siblings’ New Life, and I think Rurahel might be a guardian spirit. I think she might have been the Emperor’s former spirit guardian. Hear me out, okay? Thus far, we’ve seen that the spirits are very attached to their persons. They do not have to be next to their persons–but they … Continue reading Theory: Rurahel – A Guardian Spirit? (The Twin Siblings’ New Life)

Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen

More and more I’m starting to think that Shuli von Neuschwanstein (the pink haired lady above) is actually an abandoned princess. Here me out, okay? We see her mother and brother in color a few times over different chapters. In fact, in chapter 31 we see them all together, one after another: And they do look alike–we see pink hair, green eyes… but that’s kind of … Continue reading Theory: A Princess in the Stepmother’s Märchen

Thoughts & Theories on The Twin Siblings’ New Life

If anyone on here is reading The Twin Siblings’ New Life, they probably remember Ishana telling the twins that they should thank the emperor for their new life as accepted imperial children–but I think that they actually owe it to the second prince. Let me explain:  First things first, the Second Prince is the first member of the imperial family that we meet outside of Arjen … Continue reading Thoughts & Theories on The Twin Siblings’ New Life

Beware of the Brothers! – The Twins That Aren’t Twins Analysis

I recently read some of the comic Beware of the Brothers! (꡸ 오빠들을 조심해!) and my eyes were drawn to the clothes and what they could mean. I was really interested in the two youngest Ernst children, Hari–the adopted daughter–and Eric–the twin without a twin.  If you’ve read the story, you know that Hari was brought in, at first, as a replacement for the daughter that the Ernst … Continue reading Beware of the Brothers! – The Twins That Aren’t Twins Analysis

Chapter 77: Who Made Me a Princess – WHAT?! Let’s Discuss the World Tree and Lucas

Alright. There are so many things going on right now with Athanasia that I don’t even know where to begin–particularly with her magic.  Lucas (who is, it appears, coming to terms with his growing crush on Athanasia or at least interest beyond the surface level) has brought to our attention that something becomes shattered about Athanasia’s mana when she starts thinking about her past life and … Continue reading Chapter 77: Who Made Me a Princess – WHAT?!
