I’m quite fond of this type of series (Nozaki-kun, Eizouken, etc.) - it hits a sweet spot between characters striving to reach their dreams, the meta of content creators creating content about content creation, and also some level of insight into the production of media that I consume and have interest in. I also remember seeing V5 pop up on the homepage around the time I first joined JNC, and I was intrigued then, so I’m happy to have finally gotten the chance to read it.

Anyways, Asaishi for best boy!

Interesting that we can't see his face.

I think we saw all of it that we needed to. It's quite effective the way that scene was drawn as it is...

@thewickerman yep, mother knows all, sees all and stabs with her eyes. I wonder if her mom is Kami as a side gig?

@thegrimlich shouldn't that be a mintendo sticho?

@terabyte Yes, the author streamlined the fall of the Suun family (e.g. no mention to the sleeping gas that justifies the lack of people around at the beginning) while keeping the main plot points so that no further changes to the story are expected imho.
Still the clarity of the sequence of the events did suffer a more than bit...

Nephy is just too cute!

(That's all I got, since the me/my mistake has already been posted.)

@terabyte said in Mapping (Manga) Vol. 3 Discussion:

That's it, the manga ends with volume 3, chapter 5.

Aww.... I was rather enjoying it. Though, given what's coming up, I can also understand why that likely wouldn't have worked well as manga. Prose is certainly better suited for dealing with things in a fashion that doesn't feel rushed.

Volume 2 - Chapter 1:

Page 14 ► Bottom Box ► ....WHAT IS THAT SHAKING?! ► It should be 3 periods / THIS?

"Fortune and I aren't the greatest of friends."

Um, yeah.

I really love the dynamic between Yogiri and Tomochika.

NOOO!!!!

VEIGHT-O!!!!

In the LN they refer them as special-class artifacts, Instead of ultimate. Just not sure if they should stay the same for consistency.

Full volume released in Japan on September 1st.
Here's the cover.
