This volume’s cover was one that has always stuck out to me, because it was in the “recent digital releases” area of the JNC site for some time after I first got my membership. I always thought it looked really cool and I wanted to check out the series. Now that it’s on catchup, I finally could! (And it’s even currently in the “recent physical releases” area, which I find fitting.)

I can confirm V9 is my favorite cover of the series, but the content decidedly less so :c

Onwards to more volumes~

Oh, this is quite a bit different to the Manga. Am sad that we did not get to see Mukodah feed Erland though to demonstrate why he wouldn't have a hope to form a familial contract with a dragon.
The dragon obsession, however, is perfectly illustrated.
Poor disappointed Fel!
This was an interesting new take on how the war and the black smithing gods were introduced! I Love it!

Time for Julianne's arc finally!

Volume 4 - Chapter 6:

Page 13 ► Bottom Box ► 6BAH! ► Remove the 6.

Hooray. Lyse gets her man with everything all tied up perfectly in her moment of clarity! Now on to the next book where she forgets that moment of clarity and goes back to clutching her pearls and arguing with nobles.

Okay, that escalated very quickly at the end there.

The goddess is almost hypocritical in this part, wanting to keep her paladin from dying.

@mortcs Can't say how long it will be - that would be a spoiler for the manga!

On heights, in the LN, Astrid comments that Iris is "short" at 130cm, vs. her 190cm father. Guessing the manga is going full-on chibi for the main characters.

@mortcs Fixed. Sorry about that.

I guess they (dragons) really do like cars

Lol. Is this a literal translation or is it the translators that are cultured?

@legitpancake said in Discommunication Volume 7 Discussion:

@sea_stones The staff on Discord have made it clear that the main story has finished, and that further continuation would possibly be dependent on sales. This manga unfortunately does not sell well, and the fact that the material does not have clean files means that it requires extensively more redraw work than a typical modern manga. JNC is business too, so if this series was bleeding their resources and barely anyone was purchasing it, I can understand why it's been placed on the backburner for the time being.

That is fair, I was not aware of this. (Not on the Discord.) I figured it wasn't a great seller, and even the translator said it was something he'd wanted to do. I'm grateful for the work they've done though!

So I'm a little nervous but haven't seen any recent developments. Just hoping things didn't get dropped. Any news to share?

I had another quick look at MU, and here's what I found this time:

Status in Country of Origin
13 Volumes (Complete)
7 Volumes - Shinsouban (Complete)

That red part wasn't there last time I checked. I guess JNC licensed/translated the Shinsouban version and that's why no volume 8 appeared in the schedule?

All very confusing.

And so, we meet King Leonhart. Sup, Your Maj?

@lily-garden said in Elf Bride (Manga) Vol 8 Discussion:

Gremory is the best character 😆

I love that she gets a chance to shine in this chapter

Yase! I enjoy her a ton in the novels but seeing her antics in manga form has certainly been a treat.

Though what I'm really looking forward to seeing is how the manga will present a certain pistol packing goth lolita vampire. Just the reactions to her from everyone else should be delightful.

@weasalopes said in Der Werwolf (Manga) Vol 5 Discussion:

I've mentioned this before. At least I hope I have.
They nailed it when they selected Yuuchi Kosumi as the mangaka.
The art style is ...sketchy... and that actually works just fine.
Where lots of detail helps, lots of detail is there.
But where a quick sketch will grasp the essence, it does.
I am seriously impressed.

Yes, same. When the series started I actually had my doubts. Then the first time he gets into an actual fight, I realized how detailed it really was despite it generally not seeming that it is.

And the artwork on the characters is fantastic. Lacy is super cute here and makes me want to hug her and shield her... which is exactly the reaction the story is trying to provoke from me at this point.

You can tell that last panel was a magical kiss because it summoned magical snowflakes, weird angular lens flares and illuminated roses. If the prince used this magic more often maybe his lady wouldn't get so angsty all the time.

Luna is badass in this chapter!

They kind of glossed over Luna and Eagle joining up, almost like a page is missing. One scene has Luna collapsing then a few panels later Luna and Eagle are together.

IIRC Tahara should be in this battle somewhere. I wonder if the next chapter is going to focus on Tahara or the demon lord kicking ass.

I always keep tabs on the 'Our Latest Digital Releases' section on the front page, to not miss any novel releases. But noticed this was sitting between the latest two novel releases but doesn't show on the release Calendar page, or at least I can't find it there?

Also, most of the places selling this show October 5th as release date, but it isn't on Calendar page either at that date.

ok, this is pretty funny. It started out (in Vol 1) mostly just annoying, but I kept at it, and then after a few chapters it got funny. And then hilarious in vol 2.

but poor brownie. so shy. gets no screen time

also I love how Niwato still thinks they're all MC's kids (and wife)

Buff Pixie is kinda cursed, not gonna lie. Also, what the heck happened to Salamander?

swole pixie is a true blessing

I mean, it make sense that that would shave some time off your lifespan.

Oh no. We don’t need to be teaching Undine the ways of seduction, thank you very much.

Nice Finding Nemo reference.

Holy crap! Ellyllon’s mom actually looks like her mother and not just another Ellyllon!

Wow. Even automatic doors don’t notice Ellyllon.

Oh no. Even Ellyllon’s mom seems to want her to get together with the protagonist.
