Bad business that...killing unicorns.

FYI, Volume 9 releases on May 10, 2026 according to Bookwalker. So there's a lot more of Leah to come -- hopefully.

@avnwilson I should've check the calendar XD

Last I heard, the artist is really sick. The author is waiting for the artist to recover before resuming the series.

P3 C8:
...Miss Save a Hoe 😑

That Asura had grown up to be a piece of shit must have been because of Pietro’s actions.

lol
forgot a realization from before: she two people in one body. dun dun duhn~

“Can it be sexual?” Reko asked.

wut

“Secondly, you’re on the side of righteousness, and you’re a kind girl. I’m quite fond of you.

🎵 'cause you changed me, baby~

But that doesn’t mean I have to listen to you.”

🎵 but i didn't make it easy for you, baby~

Every day, [redacted] listened to [redacted] whispering words of love into her ears while inflicting unreasonable amounts of violence upon her body.

bruh~

extra epidode 1:
...they really just memed 😑
(^neutral)

Asura, casually gettin' people murdered over insecurity 😑

“Uh, right...” Asura muttered. “I wonder where I went wrong in raising you. I don’t want you to turn out evil, but I didn’t want you to turn good...

groomer confirmed

what if Asura just got possessed? 😐

“No one wants to have a bloodbath at a wedding.”

omg i love how ghastly Iina looks 🤭
oh shit, Punti a femboy? 👀
and da king cute? 👀

“The next stop is Lap Pillow. Lap Pillow.”

😂

....
....
Ok. Ok this just veered into nopeland. Get me off the lap pillow train!

“I’m just trying to process about three different emotions.”

I agree, Kozakura.

I was expecting the pope to be the next harem member, but we got a dark elf instead. Maybe she'll just have to wait a bit, or she'll become an antagonist if Sora sides with the undead.
The battle with the behemoth felt a bit anticlimactic, but at this point I guess there are very few beings who can be a match for Sora, especially outside of a certain island.
It feels the tone of the series is changing. Revenge is little more than a afterthought, and Sora seems more tsundere than ruthless. I'd rather have this than the series turning too dark and tragic, though.

@Ingraman Thanks. As far as I was concerned, I had used the corrections thread. I don't know how it ended up here.

@GeorgeMTO it could be some of the after story content like arifureta.

This is such a weird yet heartwarming series.

Author said in a previous afterwords that there isn't much romance in this series, and it's definitely not focused on that, but the ship between Gwinn and Melty was plenty.
For the second part, the action was good and Lutz is definitely stronger than I thought in battle. Donaldo was handled well as a character, with a good redemption arc, and I liked how Claudia was able to acknowledge his atonement while still not wanting to forge a connection with him.

I liked this story overall and looked forward to the weekly releases. I really liked the reveal while Tao was listening. However, I think it could be improved with a bit more attention to the characters. I thought Aurelio was inconsistent - I would have liked for him to be a complex character with a consistent story line to back up his actions. The shocking violent banquet was good but felt a bit out of place, as there wasn't a lead up to it in Luca's or Aurelio's point of view. The end felt rushed and incomplete, with a story line that was interesting but went too far beyond the main events at the estate. It could have been a good cliffhanger. I think there are some great things here that would benefit from a more detailed story and with some sections retold from another main character's point of view.

@gomily Thanks! Ahh good looks like the series is healthily releasing new volumes. So we should get a good chance at major story lines being introduced and concluded.

On Amazon I couldnt even find the light novel in the Author section, let alone the recommended associated titles.

v11 is coming out in Japan in June, by the way.

Yes Aoi, it is that weird that you want to pet their ears and tail. If they win, can they pet your chest?

Nice volume. It would be great if at the end Rouga could end together with his ex party member, maybe after they save her sister.
Speaking of sisters, curious to see the last one and how the story will proceed when all of them will be "defeated ".

that was a nice send off for Jean. He did terrible things and all, but he really got the short end of the succession stick.

What an excellent illustration of Helen and Diana preparing to fight Cromwell and his flunkies. The expression of glee on Helen's face is priceless. Kudos to the illustrator.

@zwabbit

It's a good list.

I'd add

1b) Udajima's connections
Udajima talked to someone in Zegelt city. Udajima has a lot to gain from getting rid of Akira. Maybe his allies do too.

5b) Tiol
Tiol was the one making Akira fakes before. Though this seems a bit sophisticated for him.

7a) Nationalists
Akira has thwarted them a few times.

7b) One of the Big Five
Whichever competitor was messing with the Sakashita transport may want to get rid of Akira too.

7c) Carol's enemies
She hired a bodyguard because she was scared. We may not have met the scariest people after her yet.

7d) Alpha's enemies
Most people have not figured out the connection between Alpha and Akira, but if someone did, they might want to thwart her. The method seems indirect but maybe it's less traceable that way.

I have a feeling it will turn out to be a combination of interest. Like Udajima plus one of the Big Five, or Mizuha plus Nationalists, or an AI and one of the hunter groups. For the plan to go smoothly it helps to have both city connections and people who can take shady action.

I wonder who cares about the Kuzusuhara depths. There must be vested interests for and against exploring them. As readers we don't have a lot of information about the politics of that. It seems like it is a big deal if the Big Five are fighting each other over it.
