@AliceCheshire yeah I remember that in the novel, too. Some of the manga changes made the manga easier to follow. This one seems counterintuitive.

Wow… That seemed rather conclusive. I expected there to be a bit more story after she gathered all of the powers together in herself. Apparently not. Maybe I’d forgotten some story details from earlier books (or I was only paying half-attention when I was reading, as it’s not a favorite ;) .

Why did it have to end there, now I have to wait a few months for the fight

@Kotenmaru that was Ricchan, not Nene. Nene is the one with short light brown hair that was passionately taking cell phone photos in Nanami's imagination.

Lufas: Libra, why are you bowing too?
Libra: It makes you look far more imposing for the peanut gallery.

That's releases two days in a row that have the protagonist channeling their inner Myne.

@pcj
Replacement victim is more like it; I was two sections behind, so got the entire sub-arc in one sitting.

Hadn't thought about there still needing to be a fiancée; Serephi sidestepped the role, so someone else got stuck with it.
And boy can she sympathize with her.

(The “Three Great Sages” show up.)

Me: <sigh> These types of characters. <sigh> How boring…

Maybe they’ll be used to an interesting effect, but I’m not initially hopeful.

At least it seems like Reina is set to be possessed by the one most likely to give her body back after she settles their guardians down since the image matches the one Nona pictured when she described the voice telling her this isn't the way.

"Wait. This isn't the game anymore. I can move in three dimensions!"

Wrong book! ^^;

Wait a minute, was that an assassination attempt then?

I saw something in today's Chapter 4 that caught my attention;

I've never seen or heard of a work desk with drawers in the front, so I thought it was a mistake. However, when I went on line to double-check, I found out it actually exists. It's call a "partner's desk" and allows for two people to sit face to face and work off the same desk top.

It's this kind of detail and informational tidbits that makes me really like this manga. (along with the other detail drawings by the mangaka of course.)

@tsundere28 Well the good news is Vol 12 seems to have come out in Japan. The bad news is it only came out earlier this year in the middle of February, so it could be a bit before we get a pre-pub announcement.

@Ingraman letting her natural beauty shine through. She is technically a princess, by birth, after all.

@karasutengu said in Frontier Lord (Manga) Vol 9 Discussion:

Geezer-Weasalopes Maybe if the cavekin told Dias that they were going to build a magic furnace that needed magic stones, a lot of fire wood could have been saved. The word needed here was "communication".

They said the wood was to build the magic stone furnace. They didn't use it to burn in the furnace. Though I dunno why they can't go to the woods and cut down some more trees as the full snow hasn't started yet.

@Chervilious no, JNC just caught up to Japan. v6 only released in February this year in Japan.

Well the manga is a huge help since the Light Novel has no image. I didn't know the conversation was with the guy Ellie thought during the war.

@karasutengu and it's about to happen again.

That's a vicious cliffhanger to end the volume on! 8-)
