Wait a minute, was that an assassination attempt then?

I saw something in today's Chapter 4 that caught my attention;

I've never seen or heard of a work desk with drawers in the front, so I thought it was a mistake. However, when I went on line to double-check, I found out it actually exists. It's call a "partner's desk" and allows for two people to sit face to face and work off the same desk top.

It's this kind of detail and informational tidbits that makes me really like this manga. (along with the other detail drawings by the mangaka of course.)

@tsundere28 Well the good news is Vol 12 seems to have come out in Japan. The bad news is it only came out earlier this year in the middle of February, so it could be a bit before we get a pre-pub announcement.

@Ingraman letting her natural beauty shine through. She is technically a princess, by birth, after all.

@karasutengu said in Frontier Lord (Manga) Vol 9 Discussion:

Geezer-Weasalopes Maybe if the cavekin told Dias that they were going to build a magic furnace that needed magic stones, a lot of fire wood could have been saved. The word needed here was "communication".

They said the wood was to build the magic stone furnace. They didn't use it to burn in the furnace. Though I dunno why they can't go to the woods and cut down some more trees as the full snow hasn't started yet.

@Chervilious no, JNC just caught up to Japan. v6 only released in February this year in Japan.

Well the manga is a huge help since the Light Novel has no image. I didn't know the conversation was with the guy Ellie thought during the war.

@karasutengu and it's about to happen again.

That's a vicious cliffhanger to end the volume on! 8-)

Krena's Limit Break stat bonuses are added to the + numbers, right?
The Hero can see this increase.
But he can't see Allen's + numbers?
I wonder how his Analysis works.

Lloyd would have possibly ended up scuffing his elbow if he'd continued unarmed.
..."I am a knight, you know?"

All the other knights feel a shiver down their spines.

Looks like Inori has his work cut out for him if he's going to have to square off against Sylph like he's expecting to.

Um.
I'm rather fond of Cooking with Wild Game: The Light Novel.
I'm not sure how long I can continue with Cooking with Wild Game: The Manga Companion.

Which is a shame.
And has nothing to do with the quality of translation; the illustrations tie in far too well with the text.
It's how the mangaka treats the story.

As I mentioned last time, just how does the mangaka plan upon handling the serious stuff?
Because it's gonna be a real jolt.

I love that Yuki succeeds in making "I went on a murderous rampage against the people who hurt you" sound almost romantic. It certainly shows his feelings, if nothing else.

Oooh some cool matchups

Nice chapter title.

Welp.
Her guard knights are gonna find out about Barbatos now, aren't they?

Flames of Indignation?!
He is kinda torqued off, yes.

I liked how you can see cat ears shoving up portions of the hood.
...they are cat ears, right?
(valiantly attempting to raise questions concerning that, no I haven't read the LN, nope nope nope...)

@henshaw33 sure seems that way.

I love how smoothly the tale transitions from Mary's version to Victoria's. Watching the Queen and Elizabeth discuss everything, and question whether or not they're dancing in Mary's palm, is fantastic because it gives us insight into how two of the strongest view events.

@Almond-Magnum It does feel like a confluence of two common factors in these sorts of stories: the "lifelong servant of an aristocrat" usually being anywhere from five to ten years older than their charge (as seen in other examples with any combination of genders and preferences), and these sorts of otome stories having the woman be in their teens or just out of it (nineteen seems to be the common age), and the man being a well-established twenty-something.

Don't write Allen off just yet. He and his minions harem strap-hangers friends are on their way to save you (whether you like it or not).
