Well chapter 2 did not disappoint. What an interesting conundrum. A person who wants to die and a person who wants to live. It's going to be interesting how this all develops.

@Zerio Makoto's probably so disinterested in relationships that even his best friend getting married is a non-event to him.

@karasutengu said in From Villainess to Healer: I Know the Cheat to Change My Fate (Manga): Volume 1:

It's common sense

yes. If only that were something common for isekai protagonists

That said, flubbing common sense things while under pressure is pretty common irl.

@Cidolfas said in The Faraway Paladin (Manga) Volume 13:

That is far more Metal than I recall it being in the LN

"Yeah, the dragon's blood continuously melted me down to my bones"
"That sounds horrible!"
"Eh, my father was a skeleton. Never seemed to bother him."

Death Metal

@kuali said in Land Mines (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:

And with that, I think we've finished all the manga we're ever getting for this series. Certainly all the manga we're getting anytime soon, since there's only these two published volumes at the moment.

I can see why it seems stopped/stalled? It is nothing like the source. To me this is just a bad adaption. Sure the source gets kinda iffy in the last two volumes, but it was a good source back this far.

Hrmph!
Attacking him while he's carrying a book?
How cheap can you get! Have they no shame? Imposing such a handicap upon him?

Ah.
Testing if he can defend someone precious to him.
That's gotta be it.

@Torka don't quote me on it, but I think he was 18 when she was 12, and she's 13 now at this point in the story. He's definitely older than her. Having read the LN I can tell you that they do wait until she comes of age before doing anything that exceeds hand holding (not even kissing, other than back of the hand or a peck on the forehead). They're so pure as a couple it's almost painful to read :-) but that's a good thing because of her age.

Also, this is a country where engagements are often decided by your parents when you're still 5 years old or so. He's apparently begged out of all of them until now, and her original parents would have rather sold her as a slave. The Sergeants haven't gotten around to it yet because she's too new to them, and at this point they would probably have tried to hook her up with Glen anyway.

@pcj said in Wild Last Boss (Manga) Vol 3 Discussion:

Lufas's realization at the end there tells me that Dina is probably a player.

You got it right on the target @pcj. (I assume a play-tester is similar to an admin player)

@Zerio said in Livid Lady (Manga) Vol 3 Discussion:

In the Light Novel, I don't remember him hearing any voice at all. He just stabs his sister instead of hugging her like he meant to. Then lops his maid's head off. So, that crimson rain whatever part might be an artistic flourish by the manga author (as is beheading his sister).

And this is just one example of how weak the LN is.

Don't know about that.

Adding more detail in text might just make the LN (or the auther) seem tasteless. Adding a picture there would help, but there is a practical limitation on the amount of pictures (and others might be more important).

So more like it is to the limits of the what you can do with a medium like a LN.

@Torka said in Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom (Manga) Vol 2 Discussion:

If the first volume had “One, two, buckle my shoe”, the second volume must clearly have “Three, four, knock at the door”. It’s just math at this point

In the original Japanese, he just said "hoi no hoi no hoi", which doesn't have meaning.

@Pieta said in Duchess in the Attic (Manga) Vol 3 Discussion:

I don't know if the LN is better paced and gets more into stuff that's skipped over here, but the manga just doesn't work for me.

Nope, this was pretty accurate to v1 of the LN.

Thanks for letting me know.
/emote picks a future reading list, crosses something out

Ch 3 pg 6 correction:
Code 205 should be for 3 Loner Nolime based on the image.
Gold Loner Nolime only spawned one at a time, and as mentioned in pg 10, their code is 514.

(calls other people "puppet" all the time, even when they're following their own convictions)
(will murder countless innocent people in the service of someone else's plan)

Ok bud, whatever you say

This is shaping up to be like the underlying conflict of Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, except the positions of the protagonists and antagonists are swapped

And a followup:

The manga's currently released seven volumes will be available while supplies last, but the publisher Kadokawa has no plans to reprint the manga. Furthermore, Kadokawa cannot comment on the continued availability of the digital version, the vertical-scrolling version, and overseas translated versions of the manga, but will make announcements as soon as it is able.

Is volume 5 going to be translated? The manga ends at chapter 30

@Torka

Same for ch. 5 p. 12

I think my favourite part in this volume was the panel of Mary shouting "meteor strike" while chucking her helmet at the robed assassin.

@Ingraman I don't think him leaving after having defeated the 3 bosses really bothers him. He really doesn't want Amyu to know just how powerful he is, and by skipping that room, he can keep that secret just a little longer. Any loot he would have gotten would probably not be used by him, and Amyu is most familiar with her own equipment so I'm not sure how she would go about using new equipment.

Also, the nightmare in the bonus comic was funny.
