I want to hear about black magic. I've only heard a little at the academy, but I'm interested.

In modern Japan, 'alchemy' is used only metaphorically — when politicians and religious figures with no moral sense or shame make money through dirty means.

You're all I can see. I mean it.

All I can really do is wonder if everyone else feels the same way.

It's hard to keep a conversation going with someone who only says "yes" and "no."

There's nothing to do but be patient with this weather.

Since it's a shotgun wedding, they're apparently going to have a low-key ceremony with only family and two college friends.

On this point, one can only respond with "You are absolutely right."

The cafeteria is right next to the lobby, but... I mean, from where Keiko is it's literally only three steps away, you know?

If they clumsily try to show any originality, they get attacked, so they only report the safe bet.

Because in this world, there's nothing but villains and hypocrites.

A people who think of nothing but running away at a time like that — what a pathetic nation we are.

Because they really only come once in a blue moon.

She'll only have the very best.

All she thinks about is making money.

She can only see things within a narrow range.

She tends to look only at the surface of things.

There's nothing to do but wait.

Only 100 yen or 500 yen coins work, so I looked for some change but couldn't find any.

'That' only has two cases — nominative and accusative — and doesn't change form based on case.

I only know him by name.

Because of the fog, visibility was only 100 meters.

I have half as many books as he does.

Even wonders only last nine days.

I was so exhausted that all I could think about was sleeping.
