@pcj yeah I dont see a fight coming out of this much to inglis's disappointment lol. Hes very talkative for him to suddenly try and kill her just because she exists, she even said shes aokay with his goal lol. No need to poke the bear that already beat and sealed you when she was weaker.

Now rani ordering it upon hearing about it would get the fight gil wants and make her happy, two birds one stone.

I wonder if gil and rani will get together in the future? Also the girls holding the princess's hands was random on the tour. Now will rani conspire to get the prince and the principal together is my next question.

@Arcene its hailrous to me. Hope the other two waifus dont find out about this lol.

Now is it a ship or does he just want a younger sister whos spunky, loud and takes 0 shit lol. If she ever disappears might want to look at lofus to see if he took her to be his little sister randomly.

@Hylebos I think he just told him he fell for Farah at first sight.

Ah, that would be more simple.

Hmm. How long before Old World Lion's Tail and New World Lion's Tail get into a fight? And how badly will NWLT get reamed?

Noba grabbing Aoi's head in ... glee (?) was an interesting reversal. It's usually Aoi grabbing beastkin by the head to pet their fur. Aoi didn't acknowledge Felter's dad's challenge (and I hope she explains that she's too busy with her festival demos to battle dad, not to mention it would interfere with Felter's demo), but if she does do it she should extract the winning price of his dignity and head scritches. 8-)

I'm sorry Ren. There's no escaping her.

You should resign to your fate.

"Ka-chunk."
"Ka-chunk?"
"That's the sound the ball chain makes when I lock it around your ankle, like so. Ka-chunk."

@isekaitruckdriver loki being a menace is always funny lol.

So Noa is going to get a huge upgrade with a super powerful holy sword, I'm looking forward to it.
The next sister looks beautiful and sexy, I have great expectations for her.

Giant ant lion monster trapping them in a pit?

What's gonna happen in V13!? This series has no shortage of massive turning points as it is.

What a greatly satisfying conclusion to the tourney. But now I wonder, what from here? What is the next goal being pursued. I assume things might shift into a more serious tone in the story overall judging by the ominous implications of the Prime Minister’s premonition. Also those Desperado designs at the end were raw asf.

@elkensteyin said in Hell Mode: Vol. 11 Discussion!:

So then... I haven't looked on Bookwalker yet, but is Volume 12 planned?

v12 came out in Japan in October of last year, and v13 came out in January. As per the future volume release topic, licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes once we've caught up to the Japanese release, but a community rule of thumb we commonly employ is to expect a recently released volume to begin prepublication around six months after its release in Japan at the earliest. So for Hell Mode v12, that might be around April/May, we won't really know for sure until it appears on the calendar. J-Novel doesn't drop series outside of extraordinary circumstances though, so you can only trust that they're working their hardest to get the next volume shepherded through the wilderness of the licensing process without sacrificing on quality.

A fun volume to read, although I have some mixed feelings regarding the addition of so many human characters.
I hope Arara and Reina won't make us wait too long before the inevitable.

The inevitable has already happened they're just not admitting it. I mean, they even have a kid together now.

I get the feeling that Nell wants a baby. I expect she'll be retiring pretty soon.

Idgaf, lowkey been enjoying this novel from the start (came from the manga). And man, as much i liked hoshimiya's character development, nothing beats miori's significance as a character. She was there since day one, helped Natsuki with all of his problems, and their dynamic has always been the best from the beginning. Kinda bummed that she gets sidelined in the regressed universe. But i'm ecstatic to see that in the original timeline, he still gets a happy ending, with best girl... Although in the original timeline, its unfortunate that the major problems that the characters had to deal with alone couldn't fix it, without Natsuki's help (eg. Reita's gang involvement.). But I'd say it's very realistic, and there's a bit of authorial charm to it.

Once again we see Luke in charge of a "village."

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Given the Rehabilitation Center's ongoing successes, I wonder what'll happen if Luke sends his dad to it. ...The facility's description does not imply guaranteed success rates...

I enjoyed this volume quite a bit. Tia was a welcome addition to the mix

Volume 1 Part 3:
(note: i'm posting this very late)

i'm sorry, what? lul
this is quite funny considering what it is. maybe the first best rape joke i've ever seen. quite refreshing actually.
second is s-CRY-ed ("Ms. Mimori!~").

N9ce volume, although it's a bit sad that all his achievements will go to the dumb cousin.
