Replacement victim is more like it; I was two sections behind, so got the entire sub-arc in one sitting.

Hadn't thought about there still needing to be a fiancée; Serephi sidestepped the role, so someone else got stuck with it.
And boy can she sympathize with her.

(The “Three Great Sages” show up.)

Me: <sigh> These types of characters. <sigh> How boring…

Maybe they’ll be used to an interesting effect, but I’m not initially hopeful.

At least it seems like Reina is set to be possessed by the one most likely to give her body back after she settles their guardians down since the image matches the one Nona pictured when she described the voice telling her this isn't the way.

"Wait. This isn't the game anymore. I can move in three dimensions!"

Wrong book! ^^;

Wait a minute, was that an assassination attempt then?

I saw something in today's Chapter 4 that caught my attention;

I've never seen or heard of a work desk with drawers in the front, so I thought it was a mistake. However, when I went on line to double-check, I found out it actually exists. It's call a "partner's desk" and allows for two people to sit face to face and work off the same desk top.

It's this kind of detail and informational tidbits that makes me really like this manga. (along with the other detail drawings by the mangaka of course.)

@tsundere28 Well the good news is Vol 12 seems to have come out in Japan. The bad news is it only came out earlier this year in the middle of February, so it could be a bit before we get a pre-pub announcement.

@Ingraman letting her natural beauty shine through. She is technically a princess, by birth, after all.

@karasutengu said in Frontier Lord (Manga) Vol 9 Discussion:

Geezer-Weasalopes Maybe if the cavekin told Dias that they were going to build a magic furnace that needed magic stones, a lot of fire wood could have been saved. The word needed here was "communication".

They said the wood was to build the magic stone furnace. They didn't use it to burn in the furnace. Though I dunno why they can't go to the woods and cut down some more trees as the full snow hasn't started yet.

@Chervilious no, JNC just caught up to Japan. v6 only released in February this year in Japan.

Well the manga is a huge help since the Light Novel has no image. I didn't know the conversation was with the guy Ellie thought during the war.

@karasutengu and it's about to happen again.

That's a vicious cliffhanger to end the volume on! 8-)

Krena's Limit Break stat bonuses are added to the + numbers, right?
The Hero can see this increase.
But he can't see Allen's + numbers?
I wonder how his Analysis works.

Lloyd would have possibly ended up scuffing his elbow if he'd continued unarmed.
..."I am a knight, you know?"

All the other knights feel a shiver down their spines.

Looks like Inori has his work cut out for him if he's going to have to square off against Sylph like he's expecting to.

Um.
I'm rather fond of Cooking with Wild Game: The Light Novel.
I'm not sure how long I can continue with Cooking with Wild Game: The Manga Companion.

Which is a shame.
And has nothing to do with the quality of translation; the illustrations tie in far too well with the text.
It's how the mangaka treats the story.

As I mentioned last time, just how does the mangaka plan upon handling the serious stuff?
Because it's gonna be a real jolt.

I love that Yuki succeeds in making "I went on a murderous rampage against the people who hurt you" sound almost romantic. It certainly shows his feelings, if nothing else.

Oooh some cool matchups
