I was kinda disappointed it showed Alca before she came to the cave and not after, I really wanted to see what was written in the letter and her punishment. Next time, maybe.

Wow, that epilogue... I vaguely remember the "mysterious sister" plot from the anime. But I don't really remember what happens, and I don't think the anime ever resolved it, either?

Sounds about right. I think Chifuyu gets wind of it but what you said, sadly, just about covers it.......... (mess comes to mind)

v12 part 1

56%: reporting it as a “new part,” (I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be something like “new oopart,” as in the shortening of “out of place artifact”. I confirmed that the characters for oopart, オーパーツ, were in the original JP.)

Read and reviewed!

The amazing art in my notes for Moustached girl, Merry, the Wolf crew, and the stretches before battle of Kuzaku and a Wolf.

I called this volume "filler", but this could end up being a hugely significant chapter if 3 things happen

The aftermath of the character who is going to receive training, if it changes them, is significant ☑️

One of the pirate or wolf tribe characters joins Haru's crew later ⬜

Haru gets a dragon buddy mount ⬜

What is taking so long to do volume 4?

@alexander-keller-nelson It was a good series. I enjoyed it. Really liked that ominous ending.

already found it thanks

After having gone through those steps, although I don't think that's what did it (more than likely some sort of update taking place), the read now button is showing up again. First noticed the button was back when I went back to the same title to recheck something, and checked a couple more titles. Everything appears to be working normally now.

I just finished reading this volume in one go. I felt each short story was a bit off in pacing; and that while I usually find this series decently paced.

All I will say about the final story is that I didn't really mind it myself (as long as they keep it as one-off 'comedy' thing).

Also, around 81% of Part 6,

“It just didn't make any sense,” Minori-san said apologetically.

Should Minori-san be Myusel?

@terrence I'm pretty sure she found out during this volume.

She finds out in volume

Uhg, this seems like it's going to be a tragedy in slow motion. T_T

I'm up to part 5.

took me awhile to finish this volume, had binge read volume 1 to 3, but then stopped at the last two chapters of volume 4. The story is finally tying up some of the plot. We learned a bit of the history of the house and Naoki, the characters matured even Takeshi not as annoying as in volume 1 and I even cheered for Takura and Mika happiness.

Only a single volume remains I am really eager to start reading it to it's conclusion I wonder if they going to explain the relationship of the game and the house.

I can post while reading now with my new phone setup, so gonna post some notes and observations as I go. I'm on part 5 of this volume 6.

The story to this point:

spoiler

So we're onto this chapter where Fujiko and the robot gal with the green hair are having a conversation about Dorans, and that was where I left off. Time to jump back in!

Edit: I'm onto part 6. Took a look at the black and white inserts... Hooboy this chapter has a lot for romance fans I guess? x)

Sounds like this Keina Dorans might not be long for his world after all since it sounds like she'll be fulfilling a role. Maybe her memories will get absorbed back into Sauga though.

I took a peek at the Afterward and the writer does say this is a cool down chapter indeed.

Edit 2: Finished. It was nice to see the girls working together again at the end to help Akuto through the story. Though, I guess none of them remember Dorans.

Sounds like we'll be entering a game space soonish.

@rahul-balaggan thank you, I will surely

Just finished blitzing through the epub. I don't know what to say, I mean, everyone here has seen the anime, right? Like, what exactly would there be to be said? The discussions finished years ago. Kinda. Now the long wait for vol 4 to drop.

@legitpancake you are right, well it seems to be the case that it is paperback only

Volume 3(Premium Edition): 3 store exclusive short stories Memories of the Collar The Elf and the Collar A Present for the Small Dragon

Oh, looks like the other topic is posted in the premium members only section. Let me quote a reply from there:

@rahul-balaggan said in December Catch up?:

@locobauer it might not happen this month with Sam moving to the states, you can read more about it (pure speculation) here

@hatguy12 His name in the original Japanese was コーゼン・ウァイセツ, (Kouzen Uaisetsu) which is a blatant pun on 公然わいせつ (Kouzen Waisetsu) which is Japanese for "public indecency" or "indecent exposure" or whatever term your respective country uses for that.
He's a minor character that only appears in this volume and tbh I quite like the way it was localized as "Stark Neykid" in the spirit of the joke. A ton of characters in this series have extremely silly names, so this one's just another example of the author having fun with it, a joke for the readers while people in-universe think it's just a perfectly ordinary name. I mean, heck, Orphen mentioned one of Childman's students by the name "Forte Puckingham" in this very volume and that's not even a localization that's straight up his name (フォルテ・パッキンガム) which is also a joke on "Buckingham Palace" which is バッキンガム宮殿 in Japanese.

Man, I really like the climax of this volume and the foreshadowing by Phonoghoulous at the end. I've already read most of the volumes in Japanese (huge fan of the series and probably one of the people most excited to see it localized), and I'm quite enjoying the translation so far. The afterwords must be hell to deal with because the author tends to drop in wrestling/boxing/MMA jokes and references from the 90s and they're always very silly and nonsensical with very little context.

Next up is volume 4 I guess, and without spoiling anything, anyone who's seen the anime will recognize a lot of the plot of it (although it was HEAVILY edited because they decided to adapt Volume 1 into an entire 24 episode season lol). Can't wait to see how it turns out!
