While I did think the nurse was acting strangely at times, I didn't expect this

I wonder if Shisui actually made the kids drink the resurrection potion

Exactly and the media is falling for it by giving him so much attention

It helps that this manga isn't just a romance

Incompetence might just be the point. Valid or not, it undermines people's trust in democratic institutes, making it easier for fascists to break it down further.

Holy shit, while I do understand Shisui's actions, it's very fucked up. I also don't really understand why no one stood up to Shenmei. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to get people riled against someone clearly so tyrannical. Then again, history doesn't agree with me here.

When these two characters showed up in the anime I was confused. I thought that perhaps my memory was just really bad

Same.

the changes to the story order and pacing have been big improvements over a straight adaptation.

Not sure I agree. Not saying the anime does it badly, but I liked the slowburn of the manga and now that I'm reading this I'm not sure how I feel about them combining the two arcs into one. It's bound to skip a whooole lot

Yeah, I suppose I don't have more than 100 tabs open

Given some of the Putin bootlickers in the EU parliament though, like Hungary, I wonder if that would've even been possible.

True, they didn't immediately seize all trade, but within a month already imposed sanctions like bans on imports and exports (particularly related to weapons and energy), restricted Russia's access to the EU financial markets, SWIFT bans on several Russian banks (I don't understand why not all of them) and a lot more.

Since the start they've imposed 17 sanction packages. Should they have done more in the 1st month though? Absolutely. I read your comment as if you were saying they did nothing at all, hence my response being what it was. If I read that wrong, I apologize.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying the EU has imposed no sanctions before this? If so, that's objectively false. The EU has imposed many sanctions against Russia already since February 2022 on top of existing sanctions because of Crimea.
