I like the part where the Hero's 12th-century brain is slowly realizing that the end goal of all systematic evils isn't creating "abundance" of any kind. It's about concentrating power into the very tip of the pyramid, and no matter how much they "win" the only ones who will see those rewards...
I'm comparing this to the official English version on Bookwalker, and the artwork was definitely cleaned up for the tankobons. Makes me think I need to buy them, even if they're only digital.
I wish this series had a physical English release...
I actually quite like the naming conventions in this story, besides being easy to remember it plays into the central conceit that this is basically a standard Dragon Quest ass JRPG world, except the NPCs are all real people with intelligence and motivations, capable of growing and changing the...
Mangaplus doesn't have as good a reader as... well, any pirate site. NONE of the official ones do, because they're all based on the Japanese official readers. It's baffling that they continue to follow that model, though, than try and imitate the system that the English-speaking world has been...
the only thing is, I wish Oujin was introduced earlier so he'd feel more like a true secondary villain, instead of like a 3rd-act replacement since Deido is getting humanized.
and yeah I know he technically appeared very early on in one panel so it's CRAZY FORESHADOWING but c'mon. Just a little...
@IAmInept don't literally add it in as a font element, just copy an appropriate heart symbol and manually place it in the text box. The pages are merely images, after all. You can redraw or add as much as you want, beyond simply placing text.
"she's been here since yesterday and didn't leave" so she just casually spent the night? After he fondled her nipples? How did the bed sharing situation work out? Did her parents question why she's out all night? THIS FEELS LIKE A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT THAT SHOULDN'T BE SKIPPED JUST SO WE CAN DO THE...
huh. a few moments of promise, but with such short chapters and so few of them, it's hard to leave any impression at all. Time to find another "wow I have a monster girl wife oh my gosh" series, then~
@cromat yeah, I feel like ever since One Poker, things have turned around. His current success vindicates his past "mistakes" - he was right to try to trust others, continuing to trust, even after being betrayed. Kaiji wasn't the one in the wrong, it was the others for letting him down...
I'm kinda loving how the thing that keeps bailing Kaiji and pals out is their ability to make friends. The Center of the Earth owner, Kaiji's mom, the campers, Chang and Mario themselves... having allies you can honestly trust gives the crew an advantage over Teiai, who can only intimidate and...
