I don't think that's quite right. Frieren was certainly major heavy firepower as well as plenty of utility, but that's always the role of mages in parties. Everyone else in the party was good and key, she needs a vanguard, there's things only a priest can do, and from what we've seen...
Have you actually been reading this story? Who is this "they" you're talking about? Because it's not church or its executioners from what we can see, it's other powers doing it in secret, and the church kills them for it too when it finds out and is a lot more angry at them then the innocent...
Well, saying something is evil says nothing about whether every other choice is more evil. Sometimes there just aren't any good choices. Most people like to believe there is some great choice in any given situation if only they knew it, and it's certainly worth trying to plan ahead such that...

Nah, when you're dealing with actual literal for real end-of-the-entire-world scenarios, what's justified and "extreme" kind of shifts a bit. For a society like that it doesn't get more extreme than turning all the land of the planet to salt so everything dies. That kind of risk to...

I didn't get the impression that one was purposefully starving herself, but rather that she was already on the verge of death and had lost all appetite, and the other was "making up for it" as they always did out of habit. The brainwashing means they're not really treated as human...
Have been rereading, the attention to little details really makes it worth it. So glad it's gotten discovered a bit more.
Back in chapter 43 when Kate landed with Emilyko following their canal boat ride, we saw a few things. The big obvious one of course was that Kate had good enough control to...
Kate merely put the soot into the air, which was subtle and available ahead of time. Then it was up to Maryrose to actually try to shape it in real time once they jumped.
Also remember, they may well have died. We don't know if it actually worked, it was still a real risk. But they thought they...
Intense, feels like this really completes the opening arc. While there are more mysteries to reveal and big struggles to come, the "child finding the basic truth of their world" bit has been done really well. Great callback to the very beginning when Emilyko went through the same experience, but...
Wonderful reveal, layers within layers and rather than some silly simplistic sides everyone has their own agendas, abilities and limitations. If Anthony's stance is a mixture of being very careful about revealing too much to anyone easily and sheer antagonism as a Human towards Shadows, all of...
Wonder if she had enough saved up soot below to somehow save them, but either way it'd be a huge risk and this was still a hell of a way to go out. She simultaneously managed to make Edward look bad and disrupt his influence to some degree, reveal some secrets of his power, and then escape with...
Oof, not sure if this is the end or there will be some kind of turnaround, but sometimes after raising a wild eldritch horror of fluffy friendship the time does come where it must return to its own home dimension. But maybe Flora's connection to Creepy will give her another path...
@cromat
You...
Thank YOU for the the sudden flood of chapters for this wild series! Also lol @ all the brainlets having a meltdown over discovering that, oh right, the bloodline of wings are actually a serious threat.
@rrolo1
I don't agree with you though I'll have to consider more, but fwiw just wanted to say it is fun to have a good natured debate about it and that we can even contemplate it on this level is part of what makes this such a fun series. Thanks for arguing it with me regardless of how it...
First to the rest, actual objective reality is that real national militaries fail to learn from history and make mistakes all the freaking time, with way better intel and more modern warfare and professional institutions then they had at the start of WW1. Look at America and the Iraq war, or...
Hooray, thanks for another chapter! Manga continues to be really beautifully fleshed out vs the LN.
@Atrius
Yeah, this is actually quite believable. There are plenty of examples in history of widely differing world views between two sides causing a real failure to predict what the other would...
