@Lily-Garden OOPs, is my face red. Sorry 'bout that. I will repost. Thanks.

@TheGrimLich Would have been perfect if there was a Noah thought bubble "So dense!"

@Geezer-Weasalopes said in Cave King (Manga) Vol 7 Discussion:

"This does not bode well" is the phrase springing to mind.

"This does not bode well" is an understatement. This is an omen of catastrophe... and one can only hope that our dear Heale, with his subjects, can somehow turn the tides. We've seen that relying on just humans wasn't enough. Mayhaps monsters will become the key to destroying this icosahedron of hatred.

Always feel kind of weird how detailed the artist draws bodies.

I wonder if the pedestal was red?

@Serah If I really like a light novel series I'll often read the manga too; it doesn't take that much extra time and it's fun to see the art. But for some novel series I generally like but am less keen on, I've dropped the LN but continued with the manga since it's a lower time commitment. My free time is pretty limited, so I can't read as many series I otherwise might in a vacuum. I'll also follow manga-original series.

For this series, I started with the manga when it started serialization, drawn in by the art. When some time later the LN started serialization, my sense based on what I had read of the manga was that it would probably be one of those series I wouldn't follow both the LN and manga for, so I didn't try it then. But recently, with it going on sale, I did pick up the first volume of the light novel. While I don't hate it, the manga seems like a pretty close adaptation and I think my earlier sense that I wouldn't follow both was right. Usually I think more about missing stuff in an adaptation, but here I think the adaptation might actually be better. I just wish it released a little faster...

I’m now a bit confused. My notes say that the first book was prepubbed as five parts, but the series page says the first book is four chapters. Did I mess up my notes? ^^; Hmm… Going back to the prepub book in the iOS app, the parts are listed as parts, and not the chapters shown on the JNC series webpage. But book two is chapters in the app… Heh… @_@

Edit: /me goes to look at the part 4. Only 17 pages? It was a normal-length book wasn’t it? Why so few pages? Part 3… 57 pages?! 10 chapters? Part 2… 33 pages, five chapters. Seems a bit more normal. Part 1… 23 pages, four chapters. Maybe parts three and four were combined into chapter 3?

His tamed monsters have maxed out the skill "Intimidate Tamer."

Hi Watt! Welcome to the fight! We've got some real bad apples here, including a guy who probably oughta be removed from the Knights.

The mangaka really is crazy good.
I know, I keep saying that!
And then they go beyond what they'd done before.

No, that ass isn't broken, it was always like that. Pay it no mind.

...I may or may not have been ruined by 'broken ass' jokes in anime...

...having been two parts behind, I've now caught up.
To horrible news here in the forums.
It does explain the, as noted, drop in detail in the illustrations; wrapping things up in a hurry.

@Kotenmaru Yeah, and the strange dark discoloration on his skin and face reminds me of demon affects. (unless those are ink spill mistakes by the mangaka - lol)

@xdbx A few weeks ago I stumbled across what I think is the official website where new episodes of this manga are posted online by the author/publisher/whoever is in charge of that kind of thing. I can't read Japanese, and don't remember a lot of the LN anyway, so I couldn't really read it and can't say if it is past the end of the LN or not, but it does appear that the manga is still ongoing in Japanese. The dates of the most recent postings on the site were quite recent.

@Ingraman Thank you for reporting this error. It was likewise flagged in QA and has now been fixed.

Claude's face when Opal told him she was a virgin. (27 years old at that and previously married...)
I can't wait to hear his response in the next chapter.

Nadir is so evil (a bit of Marquis de Sade perhaps? "Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change.") I love it.

Having been somewhat behind, I read the last three sections in one fell swoop.
I recommend that.

Chuuni's exist in other realities.
Although in this case she's some valid excuse for wanting some reality denial.

Um.
So.
About that report.
...it's always a bitch when you end up considering someone you've known for ages might not be as they seem.
Especially if it involves the death of family.

Getting some interesting stuff not seen in the main story.

No discussion topic for volume 9?

Emphasize it by putting an @Torachan on it? ^_^

Some good expressions, which is a "Like, duh!" observation. But no one else had commented yet.
