Just wanted to express how much I love this series. I read the first book of the LN via public library, and the series was my first purchase on JNC.

Read the entire series back to back multiple times, and I still choke up in the same parts in the manga.

Can't wait for the next few chapters.

I miss Lady Aurelia, the light novels seem to have forgotten about her. Marielle's interactions with her were always hilarious.

@mortcs Can't say how long it will be - that would be a spoiler for the manga!

On heights, in the LN, Astrid comments that Iris is "short" at 130cm, vs. her 190cm father. Guessing the manga is going full-on chibi for the main characters.

Finally creepy Clive is getting some justice.

@mortcs Fixed. Sorry about that.

So your mom is an elf and your dad is a fire daemon engulfed in flames, how did you mom uhm errr...?

My brain could not stop saying Dora the explora for a bit.

I guess they (dragons) really do like cars

Lol. Is this a literal translation or is it the translators that are cultured?

"Bandits?"
"Nomadic peoples who control this stretch of desert; they'll want a toll. Allow me to handle this, OK? Just follow my lead."
"OK."

"Blah blah woof woof!" (Standard intimidating speech, ending in demand for 'passage tolls'.)
"Hi! Long time no see! How's it hanging?"

"... eek!"
"Hamaam, is that you?"
"What, he's still alive!?"
(mass consternation)

(Veight: What's up with this?)

"So, you've got two options. 1) Hang out with a bunch of others with a full course meal, or 2) curl up in a musty corner of a library/archives with a stale sandwich and tons of books.
"Which would you choose?"
"Can there be any question!? Hang out in the musty library with the books!"
"I know, right? Ya wanna consider being one of my disciples?"
"Mistress Movi!"

(Veight: What's up with this?)

@sea_stones The staff on Discord have made it clear that the main story has finished, and that further continuation would possibly be dependent on sales. This manga unfortunately does not sell well, and the fact that the material does not have clean files means that it requires extensively more redraw work than a typical modern manga. JNC is business too, so if this series was bleeding their resources and barely anyone was purchasing it, I can understand why it's been placed on the backburner for the time being.

That is fair, I was not aware of this. (Not on the Discord.) I figured it wasn't a great seller, and even the translator said it was something he'd wanted to do. I'm grateful for the work they've done though!

So I'm a little nervous but haven't seen any recent developments. Just hoping things didn't get dropped. Any news to share?

I had another quick look at MU, and here's what I found this time:

Status in Country of Origin
13 Volumes (Complete)
7 Volumes - Shinsouban (Complete)

That red part wasn't there last time I checked. I guess JNC licensed/translated the Shinsouban version and that's why no volume 8 appeared in the schedule?

All very confusing.

Well, that was hilarious. I've wanted to see Shawee again ever since she dropped out the story but I never thought her return would be that good.

And so, we meet King Leonhart. Sup, Your Maj?

Gremory is the best character 😆

I love that she gets a chance to shine in this chapter

Yase! I enjoy her a ton in the novels but seeing her antics in manga form has certainly been a treat.

Though what I'm really looking forward to seeing is how the manga will present a certain pistol packing goth lolita vampire. Just the reactions to her from everyone else should be delightful.

I've mentioned this before. At least I hope I have.
They nailed it when they selected Yuuchi Kosumi as the mangaka.
The art style is ...sketchy... and that actually works just fine.
Where lots of detail helps, lots of detail is there.
But where a quick sketch will grasp the essence, it does.
I am seriously impressed.

Yes, same. When the series started I actually had my doubts. Then the first time he gets into an actual fight, I realized how detailed it really was despite it generally not seeming that it is.

And the artwork on the characters is fantastic. Lacy is super cute here and makes me want to hug her and shield her... which is exactly the reaction the story is trying to provoke from me at this point.
