Dunno if it's been answered in a future chapter, but it was mentioned in a previous one that her skill doesn't actually increase her physical defense, so she's worried that using her fists will cripple her.

@Lioslin @Akahika Keep in mind that Iris explicitly stated that it had been 5,000 years (give or take a few hundred years) since the MC decided to reincarnate himself; presumably, she spent those five millennia in dragon form, so even if she's done it before, it'd take her time to get...

@Kralec Friction, basically, as they're less pants and more the bottom half of an extremely tight body suit with the abdomen cut out; if you look under her jacket, you can see a similar garment.

Mamushi (Viper) is Saitou Dosan's nickname, so Nobunaga's dialogue on page 20 doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

@twinklecake Many forms of magic completely ignore the laws of physics, though. Mana is often depicted as the basic fuel for magic and circumvents many of the laws of physics as we understand them. In order to create a fire, the simplest method is to create a spark or to generate enough heat to...

@Kuroiikawa You seem to be laboring under the delusion that magic is equivalent to technology, which it very much is not. Imagine this: from the very beginnings, all the way back to when humanity was a group of hunters and gatherers, people had the ability to shoot fireballs out of their hands...

@Kuroiikawa As great as magic is, it also tends to cause things to stagnate pretty hard. Think of all the things humanity has invented to make our lives easier; now imagine what would happen if we'd had magic instead. We'd likely be stuck in a pseudo-medieval era because magic probably would...

@sawr How else are you supposed to have a shimaidon?

Huh. Admittedly, it's been a small eternity since I last read these early chapters, but I never noticed that the continent looks a lot like North America.

@Kuyu It's actually a completely bog-standard design for a Middle Eastern Jambiya. Here's a slightly fancier than normal example. The blade doesn't actually go all the way to the end of the scabbard; the curve acts like a hook so that it can be thrust through a sash or belt and no matter how...

@Kaarme I think it will; it's not uncommon in isekai for the MC to have a sort of adjusting period where they still don't quite believe that it's all real and that things work very differently than they did back home. Up until now, I'd say the MC was still in that period: he believes this is all...

@Kaarme I mean, it'd be a helluva ballsy move on the author's part to kill the titular character off just 6 chapters in, but it's also an even better way to alienate the vast majority of your audience who are likely reading for said character. As a writer myself, I really can't blame most...

On the one hand, we know she's going to survive because she's a main character (and makes up 2/3 of the title), but this fluff is physically painful after that cliffhanger.

Nice.

@Mathiason They're all female because female delinquents are a separate type of delinquent in Japan; it's kinda like the difference between the mafia and the yakuza: sure, they might compete against one another for territory and have (often violent) friction between the two, but a yakuza faction...

@loen65 Reminds me of Gamers, but more... Delinquent-y.

@Kaarme I mean, it's not really different from the situation in England: rich history with swords that they pissed away to their government that one day decided it was illegal to own a katana without special licenses because some numpty attacked a lawmaker with one. And last I heard, they were...

@Kaarme You must have also missed the part where I not only said there's evidence of early bronze swords being riveted to the "guard" and lacking a tang altogether, but also that a good number of Middle Eastern swords have push tangs held in by a form of epoxy; depending on hilt construction, a...

@Kaarme And that's my point: you have little idea of what you're actually talking about. Perhaps a visual aid will help. You seem to be referring to a hidden tang as a full tang, which refers to an entirely different style of tang. The overwhelming majority of swords throughout history have...

@Kaarme Oof. It's you who doesn't know anything about swords, my dude. Among those who actually know a thing or two about swords, "full tang" is the style of tang you find most commonly on kitchen or fixed-blade hunting knives, where the tang is the full width of the grip, conforming to its...
