Of the 3 new manga, this one caught my attention best. That it's from the creator of Zero Belivers buys it more time to develope in terms of my interest as well.

Real world luck translates to video game luck. "90% hit chance fails 4 times in a row." Yeah statistical possible, it certainly leave a feeling that the programmers are lying through their teeth.

But hope is vital, you can't get to absolute soul crushing despair without it.

At least Crow isn't arrogant about ""his power" I guess. Feels a touch generic in its formula, but something must have caught the eye for it to be signed.

Unless it was part of a package deal to get something else JNovel wanted.

Nice chapter title.

Welp.
Her guard knights are gonna find out about Barbatos now, aren't they?

Flames of Indignation?!
He is kinda torqued off, yes.

I liked how you can see cat ears shoving up portions of the hood.
...they are cat ears, right?
(valiantly attempting to raise questions concerning that, no I haven't read the LN, nope nope nope...)

LOOM!
Next page: ERROR!

gonna refresh now, but again, it was just so perfect I had to mention it.

I hopw the machine can fix itself...

I know Aileen said two can play that game after bringing out her familiar, but unfortunately she's up against pros. She's not going to be winning that battle any time soon.

And what level is her itty, bitty sparrow? Does it transform into a majestic Big Bird roc when needed?

Definitely more Lunoa participation in today's release almost to the point of her being the main focus of the narrative. Also, a very insightful reason she wants to become a merchant so bad.

Final note: Love her frozen stiff expression of anxiety in the panel where she's waiting for the count to receive them. And how does Ellie help her overcome it? Why simply shoving a cookie in her mouth of course (lol).

Sui is actually very smart, don't you think?

@Anaxim

自治会 or 町内会！

Shifting over to the matching Japanese Wikipedia article makes a fascinating read, even via MTL...

A really nice Lydia and Allen interaction, cant wait to see it again in the anime later this year

Looks like Sei might soon have a chat with Virgo, and they can commiserate about being low-level types surrounded by ultra-high-level monsters beings (a bit more distant for Sei).

@kuali said in Tearmoon Empire (Manga) Vol 8 Discussion:

For the record, I don't actually agree with Mia's point that Sion would have no right to judge Abel (or her) if he didn't try to help beforehand. Judgment, I think, is something that should be done by the most impartial authority available - someone who was personally involved in the situation (regardless of how) is unlikely to fit that particular bill. (And just in general, it is not the job of a child to raise the children around them. There are plenty of people around Mia who should have been raising her better, Sion just isn't one of them.)

Someone like the Duke of Belluga or the King of Remno - someone who hadn't been involved in the revolution on either side - should have been called on to preside over Mia's trial, ideally. And by the same token, were Abel to face trial for his actions in this timeline, it should be the ruler of somewhere like Belluga or Tearmoon that acted as judge, not Sion, or Mia, or any of the other people who get personally involved in this revolution.

At the same time, though, it's also easy to empathize with Mia's perspective. While she may have made mistakes in the original timeline, none of what she did wrong in regards to the famine was done out of malice. In fact, she really had very little to do with what she got executed over other than being a member of the imperial family.

@henshaw33 sure seems that way.

Subtle way to say “Congratulations, and keep going! Onward and upward! Aim for the Top (Gunbuster-free version :( )!”

Alice is just so darn cute!
