@Ingraman @b-scot-morgan Thank you for reading and leaving your suggestions. The latter error was caught independently and fixed in QA; the former is a part of the lizardman's speech style.

This thing is stupidly silly, but I like it.

Allow me to declare open season upon the mangaka.
The ending of this volume was...very well drawn.
Gotta give it that.
But as the end of a volume?
Excuse me?!

So a “But Our Fight Continues” continues. Kind of disappointing.

I wasn't expecting Sissy to end up half a head taller than Cryssie.

Shizuku sure isn't leaving much personal space between herself and Callus.

@Ingraman Not really. The LN covers the post war clean-up such as what happened to the two ladies he used to be partied with and what not. Otherwise it's the same ending.

Heh, it's the 'Yul Brynner' look (sans the ears of course).

@Almond-Magnum said in Fired? But I Maintain All the Software! (Manga) Vol 1 Discussion:

most of his skillset is actually seniority. He knows his old company, who to suck up to, where various levers are, and there may be advantages baked in the rules making it harder to remove old employees without cause, that sort of things. None of which would apply to a new environment. He may have a few people skills, sort of, if you're into that sort of things (I guess being a sleazy manager is a skill), but enough to take a chance on the rest of the package?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking/trying to get at, that his “seniority” didn’t in fact mean “more experience making The Product” but instead meant he was experienced in “sucking up to/pushing work onto specific other coworkers” which just ain’t a transferable skill 🤷‍♀️

This chapter is all about boobs, puppy, and more boobs.

Couldn’t he analyze the goggles while they were still in her right hand? <sigh>

Cute puppy.

Ms. Boobs, the guildmaster…

Akira - completely deadpan face - "Let's mosey."

I feel like the localization team is having a bit of fun with the manga dialogue.

Nothing about trying different types of wood? or rounding off those corners?

@b-scot-morgan This is intentional. No table of contents is present in the Japanese version of the book.

@Kotenmaru Yeah, Lloyd is going to kick his ass good in front of the whole Knight's First Order.

@xdbx Thank you for spotting this! We'll fix it in the not-too-distant future

Sometimes its better to leave the 'admiring the enemy's intellect' step until after the retreat...

@kuali said in The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power (Manga) Vol 5 Discussion:

The Kingdom of Celestia formally demands the return of its daughter. So that it might reclaim the power that was once its own.

Well, isn't that interesting? LN Celestia never made that demand... Which makes me wonder if Vol 3's villain got an upgrade...

@Kotenmaru said in The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power (Manga) Vol 5 Discussion:

This felt better than the LN, maybe not by alot, but it definitely has less of the domestic abuse that left such a sour taste in mouths last time. That said, if they had just acted like the adults they are and communicated, they still could've avoided all of this.

Aw, but words are hard and spending weeks stewing in unfounded jealousy is easy!

But yes, Ed and Carolina finally discussing their feelings was a big improvement on the assault-induced-epiphany the LN used in this scene.

It was so saccharine, but considering DV was the alternative I'm not complaining.
