@TheGrimLich As you say, a good 'ending' point.
This tale is done, but their story continues.

Have to wonder how much the folks at the very top of the Sanctum know concerning it, given the hand's off approach advocated concerning the Captain.

While at the time my thought was that it would gain them more knowledge if he were left to his own devices, if the folks at the top knew something of this it could be more 'leave him be and he'll add more to the biological preserve' as well as the benefit of unscheduled visits to various locations uncovering matters needing to be dealt with that otherwise wouldn't have been learned of until they'd gotten far worse.

You can't get more 'unscheduled' than someone focused on their own curiosity.
He's also decent at leaving a place in better shape as a society than he found it.
The only major downside is that he's a bureaucrat's nightmare.

Grandpa's almost caught up.

Bold of him to assume salt wouldn't be hazardous to Sui's health

@Frozen-Delirium-3d2auf8 this is the most recent, but if you guys could tell me where it ends from there I would be glad

Oh no, will they ever make it out alive? Guess you'll have to wait for Sweet Reincarnation Vol 10 to find out now [dramatic cliffhanger monologue voice].

But seriously, are these backstabbers not real sailors? I can't imagine a sailor would set fire to the boat they themselves are sailing on with no escape plan in the middle of the ocean, that's just strait up dumb, especially since the plan seems to be to burn every boat in the fleet?

Also side note, when I was checking to make sure there was a vol 10 out in Japan already, I noticed there seems to be a spin off manga for this series that just came out earlier this year. Sweet Reincarnation ~ Licorice Diary ~ Vol 1 was released a month after Vol 10 came out.

I'd toss out how many years it's been since she last saw him and how much folks can change appearance in that amount of time if in that age range...
But he's wearing Japanese/Western street cloths and using a camera.
There's only one person it could be.
Only. One.

So I'll give her a pass.
Just like Shiro gets a pass for not recognizing her even if he had seen photos of her from when she first hooked up with his grandfather. Folks called her The Immortal Witch, not The Eternal Coed Witch.

What a great win... 😅

It says alot about Aisha's growing power and potential that in her first major battle, she altered the terrain and left behind a lake.

Meanwhile, I like the casual implication that the guildmaster has abused his position to use the power if the guild for seemingly random or mundane tasks in the past on a often enough basis that he's familiar with the repercussions.

This manga has quite an unique style in the way it ranges from super-simplified figures all the way to detailed and almost realistic drawings depending on the story. There's also a lot of larger than usual panels, and all the beautiful landscapes. I rather like it. The two-page spread of Ange defeating the demon was breathtaking.

It feels like the story is always in danger of being taken over by the colourful side characters. There's the amazing old-timers during the demon hunt, and the Bordeaux sisters in almost each of their appearances...

The meeting with Lady Winter was an amazing side story.

And that meeting in the end was really touching.

I'm now adding desuwa at the end of every of Mia's sentences.

My kitten is now eyeing me suspiciously because I burst out in laughter and woke him up.
Why would you do that to my adorable kitten, you monster?

He's playing 5D Chess, while she's desperately playing tic-tac-toe and being amazed that she somehow wins.

She's making moves he didn't even know were legal!
Narrator: In 5D chess, they weren't.

It's as sweet as ever, though this time it's getting to the bittersweet parts too. You blink once or twice and suddenly your kid has a life of their own, which you're not a part of, and it's hard to get used to that. Even if you're an ancient dragon.

Just like the first volume, this one is basically throwing a bunch of weirdos into one room and watching what happens. A slice of life that's in no way calming but definitely a lot of fun.

My favourite story was the one with the head model. Just a bunch of people totally misunderstanding what's going on and it's all spiraling out of control because none of them have any common sense installed. A bunch of dunces you can't help but love.

The mask certainly seemed sus; that's not the typical face mask you see in images from Japan pre-Pandemic.

And in the end we never even learned what the mask was all about.

Oh, Hades Yes! I've been waiting to reach this. The best part is here, and the anime has also caught up to it.
Welcome to my bedchamber (said the spider to the fly or in this case the dragon to Will). It's such a great line that's just like a hungry wolf staring at a frightened rabbit.

@Alex232 Yes, she's formidable in her own way. However, I am sure she will eventually be added to Zenos' harem along with the rest of the female individuals. The only question is: how large will it eventually be?

Reading the final three chapters in one go was nice.

Having them underreport your accomplishments so you get transferred away from the front is not something a gloryhound would do.
Doesn't have that much effect if you're a trouble magnet.

An individual might be stronger than another, but that doesn't mean they're more effective as part of a group or even individually; strength isn't everything.
Smarts, the ability to make correct judgement calls, to work with others without rubbing them wrong to no benefit...

Volume 4 - Chapter 5:

Page 29 ► Bottom-left Box ► I USE TO FANTASIZE ABOUT IT [...] ► It should be USED.

Lefi was extra cute in this chapter!

@Zerio
We really don't know, Iori might not even be an explorer as we don't have any reference for her or the guy. She could just easily be an investigator or auditor for the government. After all no one else has been able to auction off orbs. With the design of the jacket, could be JDSF, JDA, PSB, JTA, or even an entity made up for the series. Could be a special investigator unit specifically for dungeon matters.

The Beast King really is the worst.
