Sigh, getting kumo desu vibes. I don’t care about these other heroes. Especially when everyone involved is a massive idiot.

His sister is with them, so part of it might be showing what she has to put up with, and justifying why she might end up abandoning them. (Just guesses, I haven't read any spoilers.)

Also, I think there's only one Kouki / Kirihara type with his "dragon magic" who the reader is now rooting for experiencing an unkind reality check.

Maybe she can extract some of her other powers from her corpse

This volume could've been half the length without any appreciable loss in teems of content. I'm basically reading by inertia, I hope the war won't last too long and will be more interesting.

"Two hours later, the magic institute blew up anyway."

Just like last month, probably.

@cadero2 Corrections should go in the dedicated correction topic, linked in the initial post. :)

Oh man, that blurb. Who could it possibly be? They're not going to drag Earth Reina into things, are they?

Earth Reina was also my first thought.

@GeorgeMTO said in Cooking with Wild Game Vol. 36 Discussion!:

so unsure if the publisher is desiring the series less with the switch to digital only releases (as of this volume funnily enough) and recently ending the manga.

I will be livid if this series gets discontinued.

Sometimes it feels like the author wants romance in the story (or was told there needs to be some) but doesn't actually want to write about it.

Yes, No child rape please.

There is no way she could be that clueless. Especially with medical knowledge unless her mom completely skipped over anything to do with pregnancy.

A lifetime of garbage self esteem isn't cured with a snap of the fingers in real life.

True, but everyone you meet trying to tell you that you are in fact superior, and the evidence of your own senses showing you that you are superior, over and over for months on end should trigger some growth and change.

Instant change wouldn't seem realistic, but being locked into the trope forever is at least as bad.

@zeji13 I hope JNC didn't just decide to cut most of it out.

@Greganator said in A Wicked Lady’s Guide to Accidentally Saving the Kingdom Vol. 1 Discussion:

@zeji13 maybe I don’t read enough LN afterwords but I dunno if describing one’s self as Mama, terminally online and a high schooler, sounds sane to me.

Normally, no. For this author? Yes.

You can register someone as a villager without their consent?

@Travis-Butler - yep, a light and silly series like Tanaka Family Reincarnates where a major crisis is averted by giant cats batting things away with their paws.

The question is if the Gioin temple already smelled this godless palanquin coming and how.

Lady Red mentions in part 6 that she has the power of foresight, which she later uses in part 7 to tell Tsuguho about the pandemonium. It wouldn't be surprising if Lady Black had it as well.

Though it must be a super limited foresight if they can foresee his birth but neither his mistreatment at the hands of everyone except his grandmother nor his subsequent exile.

@wanderer_1204 said in God Sleeps in Seafoam Vol. 1 Discussion!:

If they knew, why didn't they stress the importance of this kid and watch over to ensure that the engagement is with the right kid.

Well, Gioin Temple knows the engagement was with the right kid, given that Akira has met Shizumi and Lady Black. They just don't know that Ugetsu has been planning to try to switch it to the wrong kid.

I'm guessing the author is trying to get us to buy into the idea that nobody stressed his importance, because who of the Eight Houses could possibly not recognize the significance of the first Godless Palanquin in four centuries, especially the house with the longest history of the Eight Houses? Like, that would imply that the family had forgotten why they were even part of the Eight Houses to begin with, along with their house's covenant with the god of their province.

Still, there's no arguing that the author is making Gioin Temple pretty stupid about the whole situation. Like, even Tsuguho had heard about the head of Ugetsu whining that his eldest son was talentless, how is it possible that Shizumi did not even have an inkling of all the negative things Ugetsu had been saying about Akira?

They share the same initials.
V.S.

Victoria's Secret?!

I forgot. How long is a shilometer again? Was just the same as a kilometer?

Does anyone else get inspired to do such evil deeds as humiliating their cat by scratching it's ears until it drools?

As bad as it sounds, the fact that she's crying means she's making progress.
