Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:
But in Japanese it scans as:

The littlest things we know to be small = debut literary fiction
The dark wife: thriller, adapted into a Hulu original
The mailman’s niece = historical fiction
The mailman of Warsaw = also historical fiction but about war
The gate of wind = fantasy
The gate of wind and bones = young adult fantasy
A gathering of pelicans = mystery, part of a long running series that takes up a whole shelf at the library
The Group Project Partner Gambit = romance with a cartoon cover
Wendy Jenkins is Scared of Commitment = romance with a cartoon cover of gay people
this is my magnum opus

I dropped my phone in the shower and the water opened up instagram and changed my fucking PRONOUNS?????
isekai title
suggestion for cat folks: "mw." (pronounced mew) as an honorific instead of "mr." or "mrs."
This came as a result of Light Novel publishers believing that people don't read the blurbs on the back of the books. So their answer to this was to.... make the blurb the title.
Despite this, however, Light novels with overly long titles have very rarely topped in the best sellers, as the books that sell still tend to sell the best are ones with more traditional short titles.
So of course this trend has no bled over into manga as well because if something bullshit insane marketing scheme is proven to have no real effect other than to confuse and frustrate its consumer you gotta spread that shit to EVERYTHING.
i refuse to believe that image is a title
i cannot read it but it looks like a whole paragraph
Oh this is just the first page.
This Light novel is 196 pages long except it's literally just the title.
This is modern art.
thanks for watching </3
Something that I think Steven Universe did that was really funny and underappreciated was titling their lighter filler episodes like "Mega-Diamonds: Shit Gets Real" and then their plot heavy episodes like "Lion Goes to the Beach :)"
#there was an episode called hit the diamond#fandom was loaded with theories before it aired#and it was about baseball
Oh people had countdowns to the dramatically titled episodes specifically and it was wrong every time. "Oh maybe this time it'll be heavy and plot relevant for real" they'd say, and they'd be treated to a cute no-stakes episode about getting pizza. Meanwhile some episode titled some shit like "Barnyard Hijinks" that people wrote off as skippable would have a major plot twist reveal.
