@rkkn Ai emphasized that it's a personal lesson, so I assume that's her way of saying "to hell with policy, I will be the mentor he needs to take the first steps"

@heimdal7 page count seems to match the JP chapter if I'm reading the preview table of contents right.

I'm all for some world-building, but pretty much nothing happened in the entire volume. That's kinda crazy.

Everyone is being competent.
clearly a work of fiction.

With Maid & Co on the case, it is as good as solved. Love reading the LN then getting to see those part with drawings in the manga. Able to give some nice scenes.

And this begins the legend of Saint Shiori.

@Village-Idiot said in Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom (Manga) Vol 7 Discussion:

@AliceCheshire someone asked the author about volume 8 a few months ago on Twitter.

They said to ask the publisher instead.

It sounds like it's not an author problem, but a publisher one.

Ah, one of those kinds of issues. Hopefully the publisher will stop being a problem. Though I suppose it's not hopeless, at least. One of my favorite LNs (Roll Over and Die) just got a new volume in 2025 despite the previous volume being released clear back in 2019. Also got an anime which just started airing a few days ago, for that matter.

I’m used to potāto vs potahto. This is the first time that I’ve seen PWAtato. I guess that croquettes haven’t been near the other two before… :)

@arghc said in Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! (Manga) Vol 3 Discussion:

Why is the shield guy called "Daggers"? 8-)

I'd like to imagine that out there, somewhere, he has a brother named Shield who dual-wields daggers, but I will admit that it's a stretch.

Really loving the cover art for Vol. 9.

Damn, this part is good. Playing up on people's fears and rage, setting off the trap ever so slowly it is already too late for most by the time people notice? Alia is giving us a treat!

And Dino... you should have learnt to not play with your food, but I guess it is because you are like this that the guild has the people it has. It is now too late, though. Alia doesn't leave loose ends.

Lol at the janitor at the end.
