Is it possible you're misreading ラ as テ - could it be Sengoku Rance?

There's also a genderswapped Uesugi Kenshin in another game.

NSFW but what the hell was that
It's a Shaft adaptation of a manga by the SZS guy. So... yeah.

I'll second The Lucifer And Biscuit Hammer. I can probably dig a few good, short series out of my bookmarks later, too.

If you like creepy horror, you might check out "School Mermaid", a three-issue story.

It has no anime adaptation that I know of though.
The request is specifically for manga rather than anime, anyway, isn't it?

The translation on that chapter was wonky as hell. I'll have to remember to go back and read a better one if/when it's released.

They have a block on cross-posting images. You either have to link us to the actual page or you have to rehost the image.
Well, if you quote the post to see the img url that failed to load you can copy it directly - it's not hotlinking if you're typing the address directly into your browser.

Thusly...

Those two quotes look partly contradictory to me. The first says "we used to be able to just leave a corpse out and some youkai would come along and eat it and we wouldn't have to worry about disposing of it, but now most of the youkai think they're too good to eat our dead and so we have to make an effort to actually bury or cremate bodies instead". Cremation is an alternate solution to the problem of disposing of the dead that was previously solved by simply letting youkai eat them.

The second says "just letting youkai eat corpses is a bad idea for various reasons, so it's better to cremate them instead". It's the same change being driven from the other side. Both can be true, though, if at the same time youkai want to be civilized and forgo dead human flesh and humans want to discourage unsanitary and uncivilized behaviour from those youkai who aren't improving their behaviour of their own accord.

The first quote definitely gives the impression that the humans used to be okay with letting some of their dead be eaten, though, and that it's not only new standards on the humans' part but a behavioural change among the youkai that's driving the shift to cremation.

Also, though perhaps I'm the last to learn this: Madoka movies. Three of 'em. Also, the anime will get an English release starting in February.

Carnival Phantasm episode 8. The preview pic raised my expectations. The first segment surpassed them.

Do note, if the remaining 40% per project, the one which would take you 60% time to complete, takes 60% time for your co-worker as well - then it's obviously not 40% now, is it?
I think this is the big problem - that's not obviously the case at all. It depends on what the percentages are measuring, and if they're measuring the time the job will take then any sort of 80/20 rule is unlikely to be useful. More likely you're talking about requests in a queue, or items on a feature list, or lines of code in an estimated total required.

The important message to take from "80% of the work takes 20% of the time!" is "once you've got 80% of the work done, budget four times as long to finish the job properly" - important, in my view, because of how often the inverse mistake is made, people looking at the 80% that gets done quickly and easily and not allowing enough time or resources for the fiddlier stuff, or thinking that individuals or teams who do that 80% work on many projects are industrious go-getters who deserve more resources to let them mostly-do more projects while the ones trying to actually get those unfinished projects ready for actual use are shiftless malingerers who take forever over the tiniest tasks.

Not much to say... I'm from Ireland and live in Dublin, I play pretty much exclusively PbP, I hang out on GitP and game on Plothook and Myth-Weavers.
