Something lurks in the forest.

It’s more than a week away! Tease!

I’ve gotten used to the last-second reveals of the new Bookworm novel volumes (and haven’t paid as much attention to other series releases), so this much advance notice seems … extravagant? … overkill? ^^

Sorry. I'm going on a 10 day vacation tomorrow and want as much out of the way before I set off.

Old Man Inglis' faces in the manga are great, I hope the anime is going to do them justice.

Is that the girl from way back to the start who taught Arata English? I was wondering if she'd ever show up again.

A great many squiggly lines were harmed in the making of the cover art for ACT30.

Well now I'm left to wonder why a gambling den has suddenly sprung up in the territory.

"You are so dead." No, Clive, it is you who are dead!

Oh man now even Lyse is getting in on some royal fluff. Be careful Lyse it has got to be hard not to commit les magiste.

Annnnnd Sydis is being clingy again.

The art style has gotten pretty cutsy/chibi when Lucy showed up. Kind of amusing. I wonder if this style will persist.

Yay Luna gives a damn about someone else and we get a huge battle in the middle of the city. I wonder when the demon lord will appear?

At the most dramatic moment of course! He has to have his Big Damn Hero moment after all.

"There's no way you can kill an army that's already dead!"

Wanna bet?

Some pretty good lines, as usual.

Also, per usual, it's pretty hard to feel any sympathy toward those who force Yogiri to kill them.
Buncha a-holes.

Currently, Lady Lain appears to be the only one who's willing to put any faith in his ability to kill anything he desires... and it sure looks like she'd like to die for real. Apparently, if you are a halfway decent person, immortality is a bitch.
Dispatching troublesome underlings to check him out, well, they are troublesome, so verifying he can take them out is kinda a win/win for her...

This is one seriously fucked up world.

A hero has appeared on the northern front!

A streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds huh? This isn't going to be good... but I bet it'll look epic!

Part 3:
Man, that “motivation piechart” was hilarious!

That innocent whistling, though. (Although, it’s kind of strange for a five-year-old to be able to whistle.)

Woah. That’s a scary face on Inglis.

Part 4:
Wow. Inglis and Rani sure are cute together.

Part 5:
That illustration of Inglis with glasses was pretty funny.

Are we sure that Inglis and Rani are actually only 12 after the time skip.

Okay, after seeing them next to an adult for comparison, I could believe it.

That panel of Rani imagining Inglis and Rafael getting together was pretty great.

That whole portion of Inglis and Rani walking through the party was pretty funny as well.

Part 6:
Wow. I forgot how much of a dick Rahl was.

That’s a bit weird of pacing to push the climax off until the next volume.

Poor Astrid, status gets in the way of being real friends with anyone other than Fredreich and his entourage, and they're exactly the people she doesnt want to be friends with.
