“Spoilers♡!”

Er, you're right, edited to remove. I can't fix your quote of it though.

I was just paraphrasing/distilling what you wrote as Dina’s message (hence the quotation marks and the included heart :) as she drops the big rock. I wasn’t complaining. ^o^

Aww… That was cute. Asahi has another crush. ;)

@Ingraman said in D-Genesis (Manga) Vol 4 Discussion:

Thanks for the update. After your post, I went to my JNC library page, but there was no mention of an update there (just two new books that I’d already downloaded). I downloaded volume four once again, and it was the updated version 1.1.

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, your library page should only show you updated LNs. We may consider adding this functionality for manga at a later date.

I would appreciate JNC adding manga update notices, or at least some sort of latest-version information for any books being added somewhere on the JNC website for people to compare their downloaded version number against. Maybe on the library page, or on the series pages alongside the information for each volume (for those not buying directly from JNC, or are Kindle/Nook/BookWalker users notified when books they’ve purchased get updates?)

Thank you!

Oh yeah, they certainly got a different response. They got Yogiri to complete a trace and now there'll be no escaping from his watchful gaze. ...and Yogiri just managed to complete a focus training regimen, the Dark Garden's foot soldiers clearly have gotten it easy.

@Philip-Reuben since there are no corrections threads for manga:

v5 c7

Page 13: In the 3rd panel Miyoshi says We should hurry to the 11th floor but the 5th panel says 10th floor. I think that should be 11th floor both times.

Indeed, you're correct - it's been changed to be "11th floor" in both instances. Thank you!

Comparing this to the novel version, some of the details are different while getting the same points across. It seems to be more of an adaptation than most. The novel did a whole lot of telling, while this did a lot more showing (and not just in the visual sense).

Having caught up with the manga, I fully understand why I've heard ...mixed reactions... from other fans of the LN.

In addition, if you have read the LN, it's kinda hard to comment upon the manga without speaking toward how it differs from the LN.
On the whole, yeah, it's the same storyline, but the devil lies in the details.

The manga is far sillier.
Individuals who should be stoic and expressionless...aren't. Granted, it's hard to convey the reason behind their being outwardly stoic and expressionless, but it could be done if you slapped a bunch of additional text boxes for "internal thoughts"...and that right there says why it's not being done; it'd be too much text for a manga adaptation.
Info dumps are hard in manga.

An awful lot has been cut.
Probably unavoidable; the LN is complex; it's not all tasty food.

Works for me too.

Wow, grandma's hot! (Welp, most are when they're young)...

@Geezer-Weasalopes said in Imperial Reincarnation (Manga) Vol 1 Discussion:

...We do get foreshadowing in the manga (this thing here) that we don't get in the LN sections so far released; we know he'll survive and take control in the end. We're given that right up front. I mean, yeah, sure, that's gotta be our working hypothesis as readers, but the manga outright declares it a fait accompli in the first couple of pages.

Maybe to keep the Manga only readers hooked?
But I did like the "Start with a bang" approach of the manga.
Reminded me of the Ferdinand memory devce hook in AoaB Anime.

@TheWickerMan Yeah, part 6 and part 7 of the current volume are both showing the same chapter. It's 6 that's wrong, this week's part got released there early by mistake and has now been released again.

Forced mind control release incoming :3

(I don't know if it's actual mind control but that jerk HAS to be at least using SOME magic to be this much of a pain and not get atomized five times over)

Uh-oh. What was that "B-Dmp" moment between the princess and Zeke when she asked him about Cecy? Is his inability to remember the first time he started to like her starting to awake some doubt in his mind? (maybe yes, maybe no)

@Ingraman Thank you for reporting this. The website will be updated to reflect this change at the end of the QA process.

I know they probably didn't want to just write Japanese, but those agricultural figures ended up looking more like a wiring diagram than any kind of writing...

Come to think of it, if the thought of compiling agricultural figures is so important to her that she can't recognise a guy she grew up with, I can kinda see why Reese might want to marry someone else. (Near-instantly forgetting what someone looks like because you don't love them anymore isn't really how human brains usually work., whatever Amelia's thoughts on the subject..)

Don't get me wrong, he's still a giant arsehole (there are right and wrong ways to do things, and slander tends to come under wrong way). I just mean I can see why he might not have been happy with the thought of a lifetime married to Amelia.

Lady Emilla has one of those hairstyles that just screams I'm too important to leave any hairgel for the lesser noblewomen!, with an undercurrent of High Nobility doesn't need peripheral vision! Obstacles should be avoiding me!

Also, you'd think someone with a pending engagement to royalty would know some of the etiquette around interacting with them...

Amelia, finally catching up with the audience: Oh, the man who has been cheating on me was lying about why he wasn't spending time with me!

@Lily-Garden said in Unwanted Undead (Manga) Vol 12 Discussion:

Well, that's quite a reveal

I could say so much expanding upon that, but for once...yeah, I'll bow to your succinct summation!
