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.

Finally got the release version. <3

While I followed the series in stream, it sure feels different when you can read the manga from start to finish in one go.

I recommend to everyone always make use of the opportunitiy while it is still on stream. The release version has cute separators between the chapters. ^.^

If you have been missing this title like I have, then good news - V7 of the LN was released on August 19, 2025 in Japan, see here or here.

That's 9 months since V6 was released, so the author seems to be slowing down a bit from the two-books-per-year release cycle of the first six volumes.

Also an anime has been announced last month.

I love smug Lardon

The font seemed all over the place in this chapter. It feels like one font used for uncomfortable situations didn’t render properly?

@Ingraman It's the end of the manga. This was basically just a teaser to help sell the LN. it only covered volume 1.

@karasutengu said in Campfire Cooking: Sui's Great Adventure Vol 8 Discussion:

Loved the Futara mini-manga at the end of today's volume. I'm also excited to see that season 2 of the anime is mentioned there (it's scheduled to premiere in Oct 2025).

It also gives the interesting hint, that the manga is quite... how you say it in English? with the actual time.

Most manga and light novels have afterwords where you can usually tell its 3-5 years since those have been written. But the anime mention in this one indicates that the manga must be quite fresh in Japan as well.

In general I am not fond of those anime adaptions, thinking of Invaders of Rokujouma or FUNA titles. But Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill anime is a good one. I also like the opening title they use very much. ^^

So if the "Northern City" really is supposed to be our Berlin, Germany 1,000 years in the future (and not just some fantasy city of the same name), then what are Imperial Capital and Southern City supposed to be? Prague and... Linz, Austria?

... Yes, the Imperial Capital is Prague. In chapter 0 page 19 we can see the Church of Our Lady before Týn in the background.

@Geezer-Weasalopes Bear-ly enough.

She's already got bargaining down.
Veight wasn't going to accept "Father" as his title from her.
By tossing that out she was able to obtain permission to call him "Master."

@Ingraman Oh, I wanted so desperately to make a similar comment when I posted this combined panel, but my courage failed me, and I didn't say anything. I therefore salute you for your bravery.

I'll say it again, it's downright astonishing how much better the pacing is in the manga versus the original novel. Just having the animal reactions there in line with the story is so much better.

Well, I tip my hat to the manga artist for this week's part. Not only did he capture the looks on Monica and Slaine's faces perfectly after their (ahem) fall, he managed to get the bit with Slaine versus Axe without saying much at all, yet speaking volumes.

If this keeps up, I'm going to spend the credits to buy both the LN and manga.
