Chapter 5, Page 4, last panel

Back an army of seven million attacked Rohzenheim.

Should this be Back then,? Feels off as a sentence. Back when and then continued into the next panel? Just An army of... as a statement?

The head-dwelling mouse(?) appears to have shed some details. Most of the details, actually. Just a blob with glasses, now

So much whispering and muttering seem to occur around Aoi. Maybe it’s an area-effect that she continually, unconsciously produces.

One book ends, but the next is already on the way…

I had a lot of fun working on this. The letterer had a lot of fun matching typefaces to each of the multiple (more upcoming) visual style homages. Please blame me for any puns you don't like. There's no missing page! The blank page in the pre-pub is where the opening volume and TOC spread go in the full-volume version.

Goliath:
I set up the perfect bait.

I don't think that the word bait means what you think it means in this context, lol. The only thing you've managed to set up here is your complete downfall, if not death.

Did Pochi hit her head or somethin'?.What's This fixation about shoulders?

Yeh, more fairy interaction. (I'm just like Oyster when it comes to Fairies or other Sidhe beings)

@Ingraman The looks on Zagan's face are priceless. I laughed so hard my sides hurt.

@xdbx as much as I don't trust his ass either, I'm thinking that, assuming he's that much more powerful, he WILL let her off the hook "accidentally" (tee hee oopsie or something childish like "she got away because some deus ex machina happened, can't be helped") and leak the right information to her family "accidentally" under multiple layers of encryption.

tldr: he MIGHT actually truly be sorry for trying to pull her into his situation, but due to his station, he HAS to do this for appearances' sake. Or Seraph might end up as a backup measure, as an exile who knows hidden truths about the royals and the rules of the world.

If that makes any sense.

And guess who's here from the future. Mia time to say hello to your cute granddaughter.

forgot to mention it when I saw it in the novel version but:

hell yeah, Emily! commandeering Nina's catchphrase

@Torachan All right! Let the cooking commence begin start continue.

Ahhh, Yamiru Lea your mannerism is so ominous...

@pcj said in I'll Never Set Foot in That House Again! (Manga) Vol 9 Discussion:

Her ring protects her from danger, but it didn't trigger when the bird grabbed her. So the bird isn't dangerous?

Well, on page 10, Lilireina mentions their sacred bird, a protector of children from monster attacks. Chelsea’s being attacked, so she’s now being protected!
