@Lorexen Oh yeah, I didn't mean the just the last segment, that seems to be pretty much the same as a scene from the pre-serialization-- the art style in general and character designs have changed, which makes him look younger and her a few years older right off the bat, at least to my eyes...
Uhhhh, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the publication aging him down a bit and aging her up a bit (at least the art style makes it look that way), especially with her not wanting to call him her dad and the line "you're 10 years too young to be my father" at the end. Sure, it's generally...
Good chapter.
- Promise of supergiant sheep
- cute talking doggos
- comedy frog merchant
- introduction of new, seemingly wholesome faction
- guard geese
- fanservice (never thought the author would draw Aruna in maid outfits or belly dancer costumes)
- manservice (Dias would fit right into Jojo...
The solidarity in this comment section is almost as wholesome and heartening as the chapter itself.
...which was pretty bloody wholesome and heartening. Fully agreed with @Shenpai1259 and @Imkindasad, was grinning and giddy like a damn fool high schooler again.
Wow, surprisingly this chapter gave us a lot more info about the personalities and backgrounds of both of them than I would've expected, and we got some 'still-in-denial' flirting too! Quality chap.
Thanks for your work, Tonari no Scans! Appreciate it!
Wholesome.
I've always found the idea that some Japanese guys can easily pass for girls with a bit of makeup kind of amazing, tbh, especially after realizing it was true. Grateful though I am for a broad build, jaw, and thick facial hair, it made it very difficult for me to imagine how...
Uh-oh.
"I'm sure she'll be dependent on me," is not a healthy attitude to have... our boy here has some lingering trauma, it seems. That's gonna need to be worked our sooner rather than later...
Honestly was not expecting that turn, it makes a lot of sense in explaining why someone as young as...
The solidarity in this comments section towards protecting the adorable, lovable kids of the koto club warms my heart. Be strong, my friends! We may hate the drama that is coming, but trust that in the end our kids will come out on top and even better off for it!
Oh, so that's why their clubmate ships them together. Now I can get where she's coming from.
That said, it doesn't need to be romantic for it to be really cute to see the kind of sweet friendship and relationship dynamic they have.
Bro, Himmel's face there... my heart broke a little. I know it's not really the tone of the series, but I hope we get to see him again at the end, and that he gets to be with Frieren without having to worry about their lifespans... he was a "fake hero", but a hero in the real sense of the term...
Good heavens, an adult male character with geeky hobbies who can actually express his feelings and take the initiative to express his thoughts or hold hands? And with a girl who isn't 100% pure, submissive, and utterly without unique personality?
Is this the world Abe wants?
As is required by tradition, the next chapter must be Marin nursing Gojou. And since he was surprisingly chill (relatively) about helping her change and the act of nursing her, the gods demand that the next chapter involve Marin fangirling a lot more over Gojou's cuteness (body or character) and...
I'm all for the wholesome turns after dark implications, could make for a great short series breaking those expectations one at a time until he's fully adopted her and both our hope for characters that look like him and her health are fully restored.
Holy jesus, the amount of story they just tore through in flashbacks and narration boxes alone. Some really cool moments, too, totally skipped over. This isn't facing the axe, is it?
Jesus, with a dad like that it's no wonder the guy prefers to hang out by himself. What a remarkable piece of shit. If that was the example of normal adult behavior set at home, I'd want to avoid other people as an adult too.
Glad to meet his mother and baby sister, that's super cute, but good...
