One translation of Raphael's name is 'God Heals' and is described as the patron of travelers, young people, and the blind. In the series, Raphael has high self-healing ability, looks after the young Foll, and guided Kuroka when she lost sight(pun intended) of her path in life.

His sacred sword, Metatron, spewing flames could be a reference to:

"This Enoch, whose flesh was turned to flame, his veins to fire, his eye-lashes to flashes of lightning, his eye-balls to flaming torches, and whom God placed on a throne next to the throne of glory, received after this heavenly transformation the name Metatron."

Raphael supposedly resides over the sun so that could also be it...

@Hikikostory

As of right now V3 has not been released in Japan.

@Rollind Holy shit. I'm 10 volumes into this series and that makes so much sense lmao

@BookManiaReader No sign that the author is ever going to write a fourth (final) volume. Give up all hope~

Title drop!

She was a bit more affectionate then she'd planned on being. Slowly the ship is leaving the port...

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! :D I'll check them all out. :P

Is it just me or does the ebook have Nefeh and Neleth mixed up in places? I was getting confused in places with how things one said were attributed to the other (or so I thought) and then came across this which seems to confirm my suspicion.

This is quite the solid deployment plan, for you," said Neleth in astonishment. It might even reach the level of average."
Thank you, smiled Neleth. "Now I will explain the strategy's sequence of events."

Volume 1 (Premium Edition): Textless Color Illustrations

@myskaros The front matter looks slightly different, if you pay attention to the characters expressions, but okay.

Not that I've ever figured out. It's a frequently requested feature on the site.
I have a doc in Evernote (essentially a text file, Evernote just lets me share it between my phone, tablet, and laptop) to keep track, with a list of the novels I'm reading and which part I last read.

Marielle is so pretty in this volume's color illustration.

No visible errors in this chapter. But holy crap, Orphen really does have Atomic Breath as a spell?! I thought that one time he used it on Childman/Azalie and Heartia waaaay back in Volume 1 was a possible misreading on my part, but nope, it's a thing. Really wish he would use it more often. Also, nice save by Claiomh.

@cosm1cfall Yes, there is

Volume 2 (Premium Edition): A Bonus Short Story The Walls Have Ears: Live Coverage from the Next Room Over! (Brought to you by Corydalis and Co.)

Well Research part was kind a boring "kind a", but first and third stories were fun to read.

@Paul-Nebeling Yeah, it only covers up to volume 9 based on @sniper_samurai's reply above. I wonder if the last 3 volumes will ever be animated.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've got lots of other series I'm reading and catching up on at the moment too.

@petitmelon you are not interested in work from Andur?

@catstorm

V6 is scheduled to come out (in Japan) on June 2, 2020
