@arghc Lloyd isn't a defensive specialist, he grants buffs. The typical opposite is a debuffer.

"Not satisfied with just experiencing the dungeon's haunted house, D-Powers brought the full experience to their home office. Ready to inflict on their would-be trespassers."

Read that potion as the Wheat resistance potion at first.

@b-scot-morgan At least her "puppy" knows how to pick out good food. (lol)

That's a worst tease than skimpy bathing suits covering huge boobs...

And the boss fight coming up next will be awesome.

Well the s--t has really hit the fan this chapter, but we'll have to wait and see how this turns out in the next chapter.

She contemplates things far in the future that I would never even consider... and with incredible depth.

That... has he been reading a different manga from the rest of us?

Love tinted glasses or something...

She didn't say anything about the magical girl part...

Maybe I can get Pochi to chew me out later.

...It's never clicked quite so clearly to me before, but Asley's clearly a masochist.

@Isshou said in Livid Lady (Manga) Vol 8 Discussion:

@groudonvert-own27br I was basing it on "So long..." then "such treaties get signed every day" He either read little of it or read it in full and didn't catch what was in it.

Yeah... it's actually hard to tell.
Either Ellie planned something with Lucas to make the trap work even if Friede read the contract or she counted on Friede's greed and conviction nobody was aware of what he was doing to make him sign the contract she wanted.
Technically speaking, Friede is right to think nobody would find out so fast who was behind the counterfeit money. It was a lucky circumstances that Ellie found out so fast.
As a reminder, Friede replaced all Elizabeth's people in Funnel before her escape, so him using Funnel was not a mistake on his side.

Friede is not completely stupid, his education was enough to make him a capable man (I mean, you don't start an operation like this if you don't know how to handle all the logistics and problems), such a shame he used his education for the wrong reasons.

"The packaging helps sell the product" one thinks, seeing the cosplay and the end of the chapter

Too much cosplay, and she might become the packaging for a baby. ;)

The big FAFO double spread causes me to wonder what image files the JNC translators have to work with.

Scenario A:
1 Manga-ka creates background illustration, specifies what to write on it. (Whatever our esteemed translator translated to FAFO)
2 Japanese letterist applies this to the image
3 Image with Japanese text gets sent to JNC
4 JNC artist erases Japanese text, fills in the resulting blank spaces to match the background art.
5 JNC letterist superimposes FAFO on the image.

Scenario B:

1 Manga-ka creates background illustration, specifies what to write on it. (Whatever our esteemed translator translated to FAFO)
2 Japanese letterist creates a the text as an extra layer (in a computer file)
3 These layers get combined to print the Japanese volume
4 The computer files, with letters and image as separate layers are sent to JNC
5 JNC throws away the Japanese letter layer, and creates their own FAFO layer in its place

Clearly scenario B is much less work for JNC. Is this how it works?
