@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…

Akira - completely deadpan face - "Let's mosey."

I feel like the localization team is having a bit of fun with the manga dialogue.

Nothing about trying different types of wood? or rounding off those corners?

@b-scot-morgan This is intentional. No table of contents is present in the Japanese version of the book.

@Kotenmaru Yeah, Lloyd is going to kick his ass good in front of the whole Knight's First Order.

@xdbx Thank you for spotting this! We'll fix it in the not-too-distant future

The Kingdom of Celestia formally demands the return of its daughter. So that it might reclaim the power that was once its own.

Well, isn't that interesting? LN Celestia never made that demand... Which makes me wonder if Vol 3's villain got an upgrade...

@Kotenmaru said in The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power (Manga) Vol 5 Discussion:

This felt better than the LN, maybe not by alot, but it definitely has less of the domestic abuse that left such a sour taste in mouths last time. That said, if they had just acted like the adults they are and communicated, they still could've avoided all of this.

Aw, but words are hard and spending weeks stewing in unfounded jealousy is easy!

But yes, Ed and Carolina finally discussing their feelings was a big improvement on the assault-induced-epiphany the LN used in this scene.

It was so saccharine, but considering DV was the alternative I'm not complaining.

Finally got the release version. <3

While I followed the series in stream, it sure feels different when you can read the manga from start to finish in one go.

I recommend to everyone always make use of the opportunitiy while it is still on stream. The release version has cute separators between the chapters. ^.^

@xdbx said in Livid Lady (Manga) Vol 5 Discussion:

If you have been missing this title like I have, then good news - V7 of the LN was released on August 19, 2025 in Japan, see here or here.

That's 9 months since V6 was released, so the author seems to be slowing down a bit from the two-books-per-year release cycle of the first six volumes.

Also an anime has been announced last month.

I love smug Lardon

The font seemed all over the place in this chapter. It feels like one font used for uncomfortable situations didn’t render properly?

@Ingraman It's the end of the manga. This was basically just a teaser to help sell the LN. it only covered volume 1.

@karasutengu said in Campfire Cooking: Sui's Great Adventure Vol 8 Discussion:

Loved the Futara mini-manga at the end of today's volume. I'm also excited to see that season 2 of the anime is mentioned there (it's scheduled to premiere in Oct 2025).

It also gives the interesting hint, that the manga is quite... how you say it in English? with the actual time.

Most manga and light novels have afterwords where you can usually tell its 3-5 years since those have been written. But the anime mention in this one indicates that the manga must be quite fresh in Japan as well.

In general I am not fond of those anime adaptions, thinking of Invaders of Rokujouma or FUNA titles. But Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill anime is a good one. I also like the opening title they use very much. ^^

So if the "Northern City" really is supposed to be our Berlin, Germany 1,000 years in the future (and not just some fantasy city of the same name), then what are Imperial Capital and Southern City supposed to be? Prague and... Linz, Austria?

... Yes, the Imperial Capital is Prague. In chapter 0 page 19 we can see the Church of Our Lady before Týn in the background.

@Geezer-Weasalopes Bear-ly enough.
