@Paul-Nebeling Vepar seems the obvious candidate. Khimari and Gremory also should get some leftover crests.

Lilith being one of my favorite character, I'm hyped for this volume.
Maybe a Yotsuha appearance ? Would be a great combo.

So his magic is evolving? Nobody mentions his newer power, is it even known?

I thought he discussed his "newer" power with Aion, but I could have just been imagining that. He did mention at somepoint he was trying not to use it, so I think we can all assume it is actually his mana, not newer power, that is evolving like all the animals believe.

@arghc said in Water Magician Arc 1 Vol. 7 Discussion:

That seemed to be a very short part.

Things seem to be looking up for the good guys in the capital, but a map to tell us what's east and south would be useful. Abel and Lune is South? Sera and the elven forest is East? Something like that?

Abel's point about "the people need to feel like they had a hand in their own victory" would make sense if this were a long drawn out war during which the people laboured and suffered. But in this case where it is sort of a WTF just happened-collapse/betrayal/invasion then a WTF it's all over-we won (huzzah for Abel and his friends?!?!) would be a perfectly fine way to fix things.

Actually, we know that the crown prince died, but did the king die too or is he just locked up?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Lune is about as south as you can go, if you recall Ryo and Abel first got there by crossing the mountain range from the south in v1. Sera and the Elves are in the west though, as can be seen with the chapter title at the start of part five of this volume.

Last I recall the King was bedridden and possibly insane, and they took him to open the vault and it didn't work, his precise fate after that isn't known but he might as well be dead either way.

I wonder how Hyse will get out of this predicament?

my guess - he get rescued by the partner he refuses to acknowledge (she's been invisible and tailing him for days, and more than a little annoyed that he paid Sasha to delay her)

@LightningLeaf said in In Another World with Household Spells Vol. 6 Discussion!:

I wonder if you have magic that isn't elemental, they just call it household magic by default?

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking there might be many different types of magic that fall under household magic that have varying effects, even though they may seem the same.

As for Patience, my guess is she has some sort of Divine magic that allows her to bend reality.

Thats quite the transformation. I cam imagine why Arata would be beside himself with shock.

@GeorgeMTO I doubt JNC would hold it up, but I could see the publisher adding stipulations to the licensing as anime's are primarily just a form of advertising for the source content, at least from my perspective. I also highly doubt they would license a single volume of a series, unless it is part of a multi-series deal from a single publisher, legal fees are expensive. But definitely possible if there are multiple volumes Earth Star wants translated. Its also possible 15 was already licensed with the last batch of agreements, as the publisher would have know prior to April that the author was contracted to release another volume in the spring. I just tend to be pessimistic and am surprised when a volume appears.

Poor Karla.

So we're on the fourth volume and the heroine is finally considering romance.

@heimdal7 said in Proud to Be the Villainess Vol. 2 Discussion!:

Really no pictures of the kissing?

The finished book’s color artwork?

While there's been no official statements from JNC, some of the authors have mentioned working on a v2, though I don't have memory of who has said what off the top of my head.

@Makine I'm under the strong impression that he's adopted and none of them are blood related to him. I think there was something of the sort mentioned in a blink and you'll miss it moment.

As always, best boy is back, Carlos. It's funny to see him ship Fol and makes sense. If a harem ensues Fol has backup, watch out Lofus

Just finished reading. The word I'd use to describe the series so far is average, it wasn't a chore to read like others but nothing really stands out. The protagonist being a wuss and so focused on laying low was annoying, but since he mentioned being an healthy man I can hope for some progress in his relationship with the girls later.

Well, after two parts beating up on the other guy's army, it sounds like Shelia has decided that she wants to be Queen of the Monsters rather than Grand Dutchess of Partha. Let's see if Dyphon lets her live.

Ha, Yuki trying to prank all his wives was pretty funny especially since most (if not all) husbands come to realize that their wives have built in radars that alert them when their husbands plan "mischief afoot". Yuki found that out pretty quickly...hoppity.

There are so few sane people in this series.

@George-Wang-a98vag7 said in Dahlia in Bloom Vol. 12 Discussion!:

Dahlia isn't plain, she just lacks distinguishing facial features or any awareness of the opposite sex so she thinks she's plain and nobody is attracted to her even though men were all over her including volf who tries not to be. I think everyone of her female friends tries to tell her. So the artist making her pretty now is accurate.

To be fair, the men who are all over her are that way because of her skill and talents as an inventor. She could look like a deformed goblin and it wouldn't matter. Volf, of course, sees the beauty of her soul, plus she's removing so much of the friction from his life from glasses to flying rings to heater packs not to mention the tasty food. Also, to quote The Sound of Music, “There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who is in love with him.” 8-)

I loved the bonus translator's notes. It shows how much work and thought goes into not just translating but also localising without losing the emotions and the spirit of the original!
Thanks a lot to @Kevin-S , the editor and the entire team for bringing this series to us!
