Wait.
This publishes today.
I've only read the first section.
Better get to reading!

This was totes a volume best consumed in one sitting.

Doesn't make any sense for someone who can teleport IN to the room to not also teleport OUT of the room after stealing something. The door was unlocked when the guy came back so whoever stole the crown must have left through the door. The thief just had to be in the room before the guy arrived there with the crown to begin with. They could hide, wait for him to leave, then take the crown and walk out.

Noor lists off everything he's done this day, starting with a light breakfast.
Gosh, why the heck is he collapsing?
Wimp.

@arghc As I recall, Owain and Glen were stated to be childhood friends, so they should be fairly similar in age.

If anything, I think the 'only 130' is in respect to their potential lifespans, not their actual ages - that is, that Owain was forgetting 130 is old age for a half-elf.

Other elves, meanwhile, we know nothing about. But you're right, there should be some of them that remember such things. Owain's parents, for a start, if either is still alive.

@b-scot-morgan As are many programmers.

The guy who invented the term basically said "It was good enough for my little weekend hobby projects, but you shouldn't do it for anything important."

What everybody else heard was My ChatGPT subscription is way faster and cheaper than actual developers, and just as good!

"Answer me carefully. Who are you?"

Yes to all that, aaaaaand Rosaria’s so adorable. ^^;

Awww… So cute.

Still no pregnancy. :p

Yuck! Hanakawa is creepy as usual.

@pcj Sexism was one of Renmo's cultural hats, so I wouldn't be too surprised... Though I don't think he was quite so blunt about it.

Well, that's not suspicious at all, is it? You just happen to be passing nearby as her house is burned to the ground? Yeah, not buying that as the full story from Analissia.

Also, do not make the same mistake many others before you have made. Leave the adorable half-elf alone.

I’ve heard that this is the final manga volume so….

Also the BL genre already exists in this world, don’t you remember Marielle giving a little bit of “service” to those readers with some of her character depictions? 😛

V2 ch2 p. 20 “Lying around’s a waste when we could be watchingyou, Lady Cullinagemia!” No space between “watching you”

P. 26 “but at the sametime…” same issue here

Good chapter. Of course politicians are still sly little bastards in this world

@Serah Love the subtle "skeleton crew" pun. It made my day.

@karasutengu said in Forget Being the Villainess, I Want to Be an Adventurer! (Manga): Vol 5 Discussion:

@Geezer-Weasalopes Methinks the emperor is just taking advantage of her goodwill and kind nature.

Yep.
He's just focused upon ensuring someone cares enough to see him properly buried after his inevitable demise.

...what a fucked up family they've got in Galé.

The manga does a good job of capturing both the sweetness of the Marie/Kazuhiro relationship and the creepiness of the Eve/Zarish relationship.

@Torka said in Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! (Manga) Volume 11 Discussion:

I’m surprised that Eve could subjugate Zarish and any time and just chose now to do it

Maybe I missed something but doesn't the Eve/Zarish timeline go like this?

Eve falls for Zarish, develops the primary skill "Engagement", gives its ring to Zarish. Zarish removes, reverse-engineers, duplicates & modifies the ring into a "Master"+"Subordination" ring pair, and subordinates Eve. Zarish subsequently subordinates many women - but can only subordinate up to 10 (or 8?) at once so he "recycles" them from time to time. Eventually tiring of Eve, Zarish tries to "recycle" her and subordinate Marie instead. He fails. Eve survives while also losing her subordination ring (thanks for Kazuhiro). Marie also doesn't get subordinated (thanks to Wridra). Kazuhiro defeats Zarish and seizes all the remaining "Master" rings. Eve returns to Zarish and enslaves him by giving him one of his own Subordination rings.
