@kjshdfkshdfuie found it in the app just fine myself just then. I know JNC have to region block a couple of things at publisher request, do you browse via a VPN that your mobile app doesn't go through?

Too bad Katsuya doesn't have a brain. His "special power" is one he so desperately needs, because he's otherwise all too willing to sacrifice the team to save just one person. And by "special power" I mean Beta's brainwashing, since he's apparently so epically dense that the ability to read, act and react to the flow of battle couldn't possibly be a special ability.

I wonder if his brother the king will let him come back to Irede with no strings attached.

@Geezer-Weasalopes they recognized that Alicia would be pissed at them if she found out she'd been there and they turned her away. Well done, indeed.

Interesting revelation that the reason she felt like she could marry Patrick was because Patrick would let her keep Adi.

Is it just me or is Chris hornier in the manga than in the LN?

I'm pretty sure he was this horny in the LN, too.

Anyway!

Yes, making friends of the locals is beneficial.
That's what Yuto has done all along!
NPC schmenpeasea, the devs put a lot of work into them; Respect the Devs!

...As Yuto continues to demonstrate, there are story branches only accessible if the locals have a favorable impression of you.

Reward: One screenshot with the tamed monster of your choice.
Conditions: Must contribute to the investigation/subjugation.
Offer void if you scare the tamed monster.

Ah, I finally remembered where I saw this before. It had a one season anime on Crunchy Roll in 2023 that was 4.5 stars out of 5. This is great cause now I can catch up to date from the end of the anime until now.

"There was no cake"

Hell yeah, been looking forward to this one.

Marielle: "From his eyes alone?! It's like... love!"
One of only two things in life Lutin and Simeon completely agree on: "No. Absolutely not."

Their relationship reminds me of a particular song from Wicked...

Yeah, Allen totally just went for where there were the most EXP monsters.

Carolina: Isn't my mother-in-law overdoing the closeness thing?
Empress: Did I cut down my speech too much? I only talked about Carolina for two hours this time...

Script: Flora's face that haunts me every now and then.
Illustration: Centred about a foot too low

...I can only imagine how hard keeping quiet and a straight face must have been when Carolina told Marissa about the 'issue' with Prince Edward...

I don't think we'll ever know for sure, but I do kinda wonder if there was something in that special tea to encourage Carolina to open up.

Just how many times are you going to apologize?

He made you wait over a month before writing that first letter. I think the apologetic tone is quite justified, honestly! If anything, he should be begging for forgiveness more.

And we end with a content warning for the upcoming arc: Drill-hair Ahead.

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

@heimdal7 I'd say at least 50% of it being unappealing is her expression. Personally I'd even go higher, over 75% of the lack of appeal coming from that glare.

Part of it but also the way the frills and mini apron or whatever you want to call it made me think it looked like someone infant play fetish outfit.
