Well this is a pleasant surprise, I certainly wasn't looking out for this.

As a manga-only reader I needed to go back and remind myself of some of these characters:

Deck Monister (RIP) New character? Fallen knight. Sir Robert - introduced last chapter, Robert Bertrand, 2nd son of the house of Salzberg, one of the "Twin Blades". "Signus" - Signus Galveria, 6th son of Baron Galveria, other half of the Twin Blades. Mentioned last chapter. Mr. Hikikomori - new character, maybe Signus? "Elmada" - new character? Lupis - Queen of Rhoadseria whom Ryoma helped keep in power during the last civil war. Ellliot Chamberlain - new character? ex-American otherworlder. Apparently a member of "The Organization". "The Organization" - group of summoned and magically enslaved Earth people working to destroy the summoning system + its supporting civilization, then return home. Meltina Lecter - Lupis's muscleheaded knight, later a top adviser. The Peter Principle seems to be hitting her hard. Gelhart - Leader of the noble faction who switched sides and betrayed Lupis during the last civil war, but managed to weasel his way out of being executed. Lords Elnan Zeleph, Alan Bergstone - formerly neutral lords that Ryoma convinced to support Lupis during a drinking party. Zeleph's young companion - ?? Laura, Sara - the enslaved Malfist twins that Ryoma freed. (The character designs seem to have changed a bit. I didn't recognize them at first.)

Well, the cat's finally outta the bag regarding Myalo. Given how girly she looked back around page 18-23 in chapter 1 of this volume, it shouldn't be much of a surprise to manga readers.

And Carol's smug, shit-eating grins in this chapter are delicious.

Hey rat-boy Hipper. Looks like you're going to have a hand in reviving the saint. Too bad you won't live to see the results...

@GeorgeMTO I see. Good news, then! I read the web novel version, and it ended without a clear ending; it's so frustrating. Seeing that there's a volume where he has already grown up would mean that the author decided to continue the story.

@Angelus There are some terms in the Japanese that are corrupted versions of English words, such as chabirone (shabiron シャビロン) for chaperone(shaperon シャペロン), or ogur (ogu オグ) for ogre (ooga オーガ)! Likely, Munires (ミュニレス myunires) is also a play on mini rest (ミニレスト).

@Recumen said in Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner! (Manga) Vol 6 Discussion:

all the problems can be fixed by everyone sitting down and having a chat

I think this applies to most drama stories tho

I really haven't had much to say about this series, though I have been enjoying it so far... but that encounter with his curse was genuinely creepy!

Meanwhile, I see he's picked up "klutz wifu" to go with "maido wifu" and "bold wifu"

Kid can't trip without picking up a harem member 😬

I'm glad to see that Totto got his comeuppance. He deserves it.

What a low key cliffhanger to end on...

Shikarabe: Nothing shady, I promise.

Akira: *shows up*

Shikarabe: Actually, it's pretty shady...

some kind of weird cockroach.

Tentacles, how nostalgic.

Another correction for v7c8:

Page 3, top middle, shouldn't it be [Seed Creation] for her skill name, not [HD Creation]

@Isshou said in Housekeeping Mage (Manga) Vol 8 Discussion:

Wait... you can't just end the volume there. What about the performance?!

Maybe they think that they’ll need a whole book for the show and the resulting reviews/aftershock/tsunami. :p

Oh, they've totally changed this bit up from the novels. I hated how it played out in the novels and I actually ended up sidelining the series into my ever-growing backlog at the end of the volume, so I'm happy with getting to see an alternate version.

And this week on The Unearned Hairdrills Can't Grant You Power - It turns out she wasn't the villainess, just a spoiled girl with an impractical hairstyle!:

Owen and the other knights can't help. Marielle sees them all as beneath her. Why this would prevent them dragging her back to her father if I ordered them to is a question I'm too busy psyching myself up to consider...

Marielle last week: "I just lied to the knights to get that Oafish Prince Edward out of the way."
Carolina this week: Surely she'll respect my authority as a member of the Imperial Family!
So, a nice try, but it was kinda doomed to fail no matter what Carolina said - Marielle's just too far up her own arse.

"By all rights, your entire family ought to answer for your daughter's wrongdoings."

Or, at the very least, for their inability to keep one noblewoman in a room...

"I'm but a servant, someone unworthy of such consideration from you."

I totally get why, emotionally, Marissa feels that she doesn't deserve such consideration (being bullied all your life will do that to you).

Even if, in reality, its generally considered a good idea to stick up for the people working for/under you.

Random sailor moon reference.... Guess fitting as she is playing as a magical girl.

And now, shion shall get her comeuppance...i hope.

@SilverFuton said in Campfire Cooking: Sui's Great Adventure Vol 7 Discussion:

I was surprised to see a bunch of unread chapters today when I keep checking the series page weekly.

It's even more of a surprise (and a confusing one at that) if you use RSS feeds to track releases for series you read. Apparently they were all uploaded at exactly the same time so in my RSS feed, they were in a totally random order.
