Thanks for the chapter!
Seems the artist doesn't know the difference between kobolds and goblins cause those guys look more like goblins. Kobolds are humanoids with dog features. So appearance wouldn't be just a dog tail and dog ears like Spica but at least a more canine like head covered in fur, might or might not have fur on rest of body, have tails, and hands would be a cross between a dog's paw and a human hand.

@Mathiason Eh, kobolds don't really have any strict rules about their appearances. Heck, the traditional D&D version is typically depicted as being more lizard-like ("dogbolds" are really only a thing in Japan).
The only real requirement is that kobolds are ugly/monstrous/beastly.
That being said, these are very distinctly goblinoid kobolds

Why do they keep calling average-size boobs "huge"?
Amazing that anime has this reputation in the west for having oversized boobs, yet within manga and anime itself, even mediocre breasts are considered large.
@Volttekka / @Mathiason
If I remember rightly, Kobolds were more rat-like back in 2nd edition AD&D and explicitly described as making dog-like noises, but became fully reptilian in 3rd edition.
Anime / manga often mix up kobolds and gnolls for some reason, though they're nothing alike in D&D.
That said, in the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks which date back to 1982, kobolds were like a brown-skinned subterranean variant of goblin with longer nose and ears, much like the way they're depicted in this series. So there is definitely precedent for kobolds essentially being like goblins.
To be completely strict about these things though, goblins and kobolds are both derivative of old house-fairy myths. Only difference being that "goblins" and "kobolds" are British and Germanic versions respectively of pretty much the same thing. So if one is being completely traditionalist, it is MORE correct to portray kobolds similarly to goblins than it is to make them any sort of rat-like / dog-like / lizard-like creature.
