So he's an Otokonoko?

I figure it would've been better to show the images outright... so yeah. There it is. Woohoo.

@rmkelly said in Yuusha ni Narenakatta Sanbaka Trio wa, Kyou mo Otoko Meshi wo Koshiraeru (LN):

Unfortunately, they weren't the heroes that the king was looking for so they got booted out.

"These aren't the heroes you are looking for."

The manga was previously suggested here before, although it got licensed by Kodansha

Volume 4 is scheduled to release on August 27, 2025

Is her upper body really turning 90°+ relative to her hips, or is she like that permanently (birth defect?)? Her outfit seems like it was cut for such a position as I don’t see any wrinkles in the cloth from such a twist at the waist, unless her right arm is concealing a gap between the skirt and the top that’s showing a fair amount of sideboob.

I don’t know about the story, but I’m currently underwhelmed by the artist.

Things could always have changed, but in a past Q&A Sam indicated that they’re not interested in licensing these anthologies. So don’t get your hopes up.
