@rcombs Thank you for reporting this error. It has now been fixed.

At last, Lloyd seems ready to tell Chloe about his past. (That is if they're not interrupted)

Mary has no issue weaponizing someone else else's chunni against them if she needs to.

Also, Magiluka, that's a flag. Weird to see someone other than Mary raising them.

@Zerio maybe like 1/4 roughly.

Is this a warning that I can't trust the king? Because I was hoping that he wasn't evil...

All kings are evil in one way or another. I believe Alessandro finds relief from his evil deeds in the pranks he does to others around him.

@b-scot-morgan so, she was named with a hero's name from birth, and she was chosen as a fake hero because she has the same name?

She was named with a hero's name from birth, but that turned out to be just a coincidence. It isn't the reason she was chosen.

The "night image" had elf ears.
The "day image" has bazongas, but no obtrusive ears.
...what's an illusion.

So the extra matter for the ears gets shunted into the chest when in disguise…. Got it. :)

I’ve always wondered how the milulu clams make both ink and spoiler. It’s a dessert topping and a floor wax!

Back to last weeks release, I don’t remember LN Eli being quite so emotional, but too lazy to go back and check. 🤷🏻‍♀️

not sure, if I like the change, the manga author made here in the chapter..
in the novel, it is the way, if the tamer is taken out in the group competition, his monsters are out, too...

More adorable cute puppy (wolfling?) illustrations. The mangaka really knows their stuff. That's what makes reading this manga such a treat.

Wait now she’s gotta do it all again???? That’s just unfair

@Torka Thank you for reporting. This error has been fixed.

@Ingraman Who's he again??? (lmao)

@Geezer-Weasalopes said in Fushi no Kami (Manga) Vol 6 Discussion:

Maika really is a truly nice person.

Yep. She staked her claim to Ash as clearly as she could without exposing Arthur or threatening to kill her rival. Restraint from a girl in the throes of first love! 8-) 8-)

@Kotenmaru Nope, Owen's Dad did try killing Owen in the LN as well, just he did it personally, by attacking Owen with magic in his office, instead of sending Owen into the woods to get murdered by hired goons.

@kuali said in Oblivious Saint Vol. 1 Discussion!:

The father is also a giant piece of shit, though apparently quite a stupid one - if Owen was meant to be the backup plan, you do not put him in a situation where you're expecting him to die until you know you don't need him.
Its also not a great idea to gloat before you strike a fatal blow. That just gives your target time to spontaneously learn to create forcefields.

Baroness: "You should count your blessings that I tolerate you being under this roof!" Said while, fairly obviously, not tolerating him being under this roof.

@NakamiJun said in Oblivious Saint Vol. 1 Discussion!:

Though I feel like Carolina should talk to him about her sister... And how her life wasn't that much better... It just proved that her dad was not like his.

You're right, that probably would have worked better as a character moment for the two of them.

@NakamiJun and the Mangaka had exactly the same idea for fixing the Owen/Carolina heart-to-heart! (For those who didn't read the LN, the equivalent scene there had Carolina acting out-of-character to inspire Owen to return to service instead of the two bonding over their similar traumas.) I wasn't expecting that change, but I am happy it happened :)

@Ingraman Nothing definitive, but the official Japanese site for the manga (at least per the series page on ANN), seems to imply that the series is still on hiatus. Not that I can actually read any japanese, so I don’t know for sure, but it has what appears to be a list of manga chapters, with #57 & #58 being the most recent, and the latter dated 2/16/24, shortly before the hiatus started: https://storia.takeshobo.co.jp/manga/mahoako/

I also tried ANN’s link to the creator’s twitter account. Still nothing I could puzzle out for sure one way or the other, but I did spot a couple of posts from Oct 2024, about the same time the anime’s season 2 was announced. I’m not sure if that was actually the most recent posts, though; for some reason, nothing seemed to be in chronological order.

My best guess is that the author is still recovering in one form or another. I hope they’ve managed to recover enough to resume working, even if it’s recent enough that no one is ready to announce or publish anything new yet. But I’m not really finding anything either way.

Well, at least now she has someone her own age in love with her.

@Starkadder said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - Manga - Part 4 - Volume 1 - Chapter 1:

Hopefully, this is just a mistake and we are just missing one or two chapters.

As a minor note, the Bookworm part 3 manga is currently near the end of part 3 volume 1 of the light novel. You've got 4 volumes of gap covered between that latest p3 manga release and part 4 manga starting. Based on the mangaka's progress in Japan, it'll take until well into the 2030s for part 3 to be fully adapted into a manga. You'll either need to read the part 4 manga with spoilers, not read it, or my personal recommendation, follow the Light Novel.

@pcj @karasutengu Karl's mom is Sidis's cousin (she's the sister of the emperor).
So, Karl and Sidis are first cousin once removed (I think that's the term).

Maybe this should be called a Short Story instead of a Light Novel (lol). Very succinct and well done.
