V2 ch2 p. 20 “Lying around’s a waste when we could be watchingyou, Lady Cullinagemia!” No space between “watching you”

P. 26 “but at the sametime…” same issue here

Good chapter. Of course politicians are still sly little bastards in this world

The manga does a good job of capturing both the sweetness of the Marie/Kazuhiro relationship and the creepiness of the Eve/Zarish relationship.

@Torka said in Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! (Manga) Volume 11 Discussion:

I’m surprised that Eve could subjugate Zarish and any time and just chose now to do it

Maybe I missed something but doesn't the Eve/Zarish timeline go like this?

Eve falls for Zarish, develops the primary skill "Engagement", gives its ring to Zarish. Zarish removes, reverse-engineers, duplicates & modifies the ring into a "Master"+"Subordination" ring pair, and subordinates Eve. Zarish subsequently subordinates many women - but can only subordinate up to 10 (or 8?) at once so he "recycles" them from time to time. Eventually tiring of Eve, Zarish tries to "recycle" her and subordinate Marie instead. He fails. Eve survives while also losing her subordination ring (thanks for Kazuhiro). Marie also doesn't get subordinated (thanks to Wridra). Kazuhiro defeats Zarish and seizes all the remaining "Master" rings. Eve returns to Zarish and enslaves him by giving him one of his own Subordination rings.

@xdbx @thubar2000 @heimdal7 @pcj Thank you for reporting errors. The first was caught independently and fixed in QA; the latter has now been fixed on the website and will be reflected in the final ebook.

I love volume 6 of the light novel.

Awesome to see my favourite volume now drawn as a manga.

The mangaka always does such a great job, that pretty much everything looks exactly like I have always imagined.

I don’t know if it was a deliberate decision, but both the Greek text on page 6 of V4C4 (Αἰτεῖτε καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν) and the accompanying ruby text in the Japanese version (求めよさらば与えられん) are taken from the first sentence of Matthew 7:7 (in the NIV “Ask and it will be given to you”), while the English given, “Seek, and you shall find” is the second sentence.

Rodney, you don’t really know what you’re asking for…

@Eternal-Wanderer while we aren't caught up, v2 did release in 2025 (January) so it's possible it wasn't licensed when the series was announced. JNC have been getting a lot of manga rather early in their JP life lately, so there's been a bunch with gaps between v1 and v2.

...I hope Rikimaru winds up knocking this guy out. Or out the side of the ship.

@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).

I feel like Lune looks older than she should, especially against the cover art, which uses the same depiction of her from the light novel version.

It looks like Gushing Over Magical Girls is going to resume serialization! Date seems to be 10/17/2025!

@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…
